Besides this, it is also bringing out a series of publications. 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. This, indeed, seems to be the basic conviction of the author behind this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFOREWORD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I\u003cbr\u003eMonotheism: Meaning And Brief History\u003cbr\u003eRevelation: The Source Of Monotheism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMonotheism in the Semitic Tradition\u003cbr\u003eThe Jewish Monotheism\u003cbr\u003eThe Christian Monotheism\u003cbr\u003eThe Islamic Monotheism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART III\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetaphysics and Monotheism In Indian Tradition\u003cbr\u003eThe Sikh Monotheism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART IV\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComparative Study of Religion\u003cbr\u003eComparison: Semitic and Sikh Monotheism\u003cbr\u003eUniversal Implications of Monotheism References\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGLOSSARY\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Rajinder Kaur Rohi \/ Punjabi University \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776431141033,"sku":"18811","price":23.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/18811_8fe5a557-28cd-4dcc-a7c4-2e1c89c44968.jpg?v=1625516651"},{"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.

Guru Nanak, the founder, preached a doctrine that was peace-loving and concerned all aspects of life and religion that remained caught between various religions (in case of India, Hinduism and Islam).  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.
