Though the main focus is on the theme of Khalsa and Guru Gobind Singh, its broad-based vision and perspective is inclusive of other related themes in Sikh religion such as philosophy, history, culture, art and literature, woman, ecology etc. It is in this perspective that the present publication under the title, Semitic and Sikh Monotheism: A Comparative Study marks an addition that has taken Sikhism in the context of other religions for a study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work is an insightful survey in the monotheistic beliefs found in the Semitic traditions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) as well as Sikhism, which seeks to confirm the truth of the oneness of God and the all-pervasive unity of His being. In philosophical and theological language, it may be said that the Ultimate Reality is one, and that Reality is essentially theistic. The author has attempted to say that these religious traditions are the historical testimonies to the fact and reality of monotheism. Or, conversely speaking, the fact of monotheistic Reality is testified by these Semitic and Sikh traditions in a continued historical sequence. In other words, these religions, though born and grown in different times and places, are the historical revelations of the same God, Who is one in His existence and essence from eternity to eternity.

In the Hindu texts the mention of the act of offering animal\/human sacrifice can be considered closest to the concept of a martyr in the Semitic terminology.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll in all, martyrdom is essentially a faith-oriented concept wherein the idea of suffering for the religious belief is deeply embedded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditorial Introduction -\u003cbr\u003e  The Sikh Martyrology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuru Arjan Dev\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuru Tegh Bahadur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBhais Mati Das and \u003cbr\u003e   Dayal Chand \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrinces Ajit Singh, Jujhar Singh and\u003cbr\u003e  Bhai Sant Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrinces Zorawar Singh and \u003cbr\u003e  Fateh Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Forty Immortals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuru Govind Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBanda Singh Bahadur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Carrier of the Haidari Flag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBhai Tara Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBhai Mani Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBhai Bota Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSardars Mahtab Singh and \u003cbr\u003e  Sukha Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaqiqat Rai the Virtuous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBhai Taru Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSardars Subeg Singh and \u003cbr\u003e  Shahbaz singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe First Holocaust:\u003cbr\u003e A  Whole People Sacrificed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTuranian Atrocities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Abdali Exhausts himself\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBaba Dip Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBaba Gurbaksh Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Peep into the History of Kasur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Great Holocaust:\u003cbr\u003e  Harimandar Demolished\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Revenge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBaba Ram Singh Bedi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeath of Shahnchi:\u003cbr\u003e  The Afghans Depart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAurangzeb and His Successor:\u003cbr\u003e  A Study\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Khalsa Emerges Triumphant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuru Govind Singh’s Cosmopolitan Ideal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Bhagat Lakshman Singh \/ Singh Brothers \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776496611497,"sku":"22313","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/22313_bd2e7af3-5a41-4e6f-a9ec-0a11569cb88f.jpg?v=1625517564"},{"product_id":"24064-mystique-magic-miracle","title":"Mystique Magic Miracle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Gajindar Singh\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: AUTHOR\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2007\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 182\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 9788190299688\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book the author takes off to a world of Mystery in the shrouded depth of mind.

Tampering with it is a violation of its sanctity, and can be done only at the cost of functions associated with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eforeword\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tWhere Freedom is\u003cbr\u003e2.\tKhalsa: The Universal Being\u003cbr\u003e3.\tInsight and Foresight\u003cbr\u003e4.\tMirror, Mirror on the Wall\u003cbr\u003e5.\tWhere the Environment Begins\u003cbr\u003e6.\tGrow Grey Gracefully\u003cbr\u003e7.\tWhat’s in a Word\u003cbr\u003e8.\tJust Don’t Do It!\u003cbr\u003e9.\tLong Live Langar\u003cbr\u003e10.\tWhat’s in a Surname?\u003cbr\u003e11.\tHuman Hair: A Biological Necessity\u003cbr\u003e12.\tDo W Need Facial Hair?\u003cbr\u003e13.\tA Hairy Tale\u003cbr\u003e14.\tBeard Tickles Vanity\u003cbr\u003e15.\t5Ks: Not Mere Symbols\u003cbr\u003e16.\tStrike a Balance\u003cbr\u003e17.\tGurdwarea Legislation\u003cbr\u003e18.\tOn Operation Bluestar\u003cbr\u003e19.\tHistory Beckons US\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Birendra Kaur \/ Singh Brothers \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776568570025,"sku":"25675","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/25675_aabcbb04-006d-4958-9f5e-23a010d41723.jpg?v=1625499797"},{"product_id":"3498-the-grandeur-of-khalsa","title":"The Grandeur of Khalsa","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Inderpal Singh\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Guru Nanak Dev University\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1999\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 97\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a life-altering perspective of the greatness of Guru Gobind Singh. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book deals with some of the most significant aspects of Khalsa and provides a rich, in-depth study and proper evaluation of various dimensions of Sikh spirituality and sublimity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a presentation in simple language for the benefit of the new generation providing a comprehensive understanding of the greatness and grandeur of Khalsa.

He presented a concept of God that was formless and did not promote superstitious rituals.  Nanak’s God could catch the imagination of people without having to be deified in religious garb that could produce either fanaticism or violence.  Nanak’s religious instruction did not include asceticism as holy way of life.  On the other hand, faith in full activist life was sought to be restored.

The present study seeks to elaborate and explore the nature of the Western perspective on the Sikh religion, focusing on its distinctive features. It aims at bringing out the contribution of the western writers to the understanding of the Sikh tradition and faith. Being a study of the non-participant outsider’s perspective from the participant insider’s point of view it assumes the form of a dialogue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe process of image formation when differing communities interact has also been discussed at some length, keeping in view the intentions, motivations and relative status of the interacting groups. It also describes the development and inner dynamism of the Western perspective on Sikhism. A survey of the western writings introduces the reader to the western perspective. In the subsequent chapter it examines the Western understanding of the Sikh tradition and Sikh faith. In an almost unexplored area the study breaks a new ground and is indispensable for those interested in more comprehensive and critical understanding of the Western contribution to the study of the Sikh religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProlegomenon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurvey of the western Writings on the Sikh Religion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWestern Perspective on the Sikh Tradition \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWestern Perspective on the Sikh Faith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResume\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Darshan Singh \/ Singh Brothers \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40784867754153,"sku":"15556","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/15556.jpg?v=1625515560"}],"url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/de\/collections\/sikh-philosophy.oembed","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
