ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ

The eternal living Guru — a scripture of 1,430 pages containing the word of God

The Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the eternal Guru of the Sikhs — a living scripture of 1,430 pages containing 5,894 shabads (hymns) by six Sikh Gurus, 15 Bhagats (poet-saints) including Kabir, Namdev, and Ravidas, and 11 Bhatts (bards) — among the Bhagats, Sheikh Farid and Bhikhan were Muslim Sufi saints, the rest Hindu bhakti poets. It is written in Gurmukhi script across several languages and dialects — Punjabi, Sanskrit, Persian, Braj Bhasha and more. It is accorded the status of a living Guru — given a throne (palki), fanned, put to sleep at night, and awakened each morning. Its universal message transcends religion: it welcomes all seekers.
