Lesson
6
To find out about the lives and events linked to the
Gurus.
To understand who/what is the Sikh guru now.
Guru Gobind
Singh
The 10th living guru, Guru
Gobind Singh, decided that
after his death, there would
be no further living gurus.
He declared that from his
death onwards, the living
guru would be the Sikh
holy book, the Guru Granth
Sahib.
The Sikhs place a great
deal of emphasis on this
book in their religion.
A throne.
A red carpet
Saluting
Medals
The Adi
Granth
Most Sikhs themselves
do not have a copy of
the Guru Granth Sahib
but rather a copy of the
key hymns from the
book.
This summary book is
called the Adi Granth.
As it is not the actual
book, it does not need
to be treated in quite
the same way as the full
book.
A building
becomes a
gurdwara if
it has a
copy of the
book.
It is read
on
important
festival
days.
