Description
One of the most misunderstood belief systems, Sikhism, has been claimed by both the mainstream religions, Hinduism and Islam, as their off-shoot. It has been interpreted by Hindu scholars as nothing new, or, which has not been said in their ancient scriptures. On the other hand, Muslims, in spite of the fierce political rivalry with the Sikhs, have stressed that the concept of the Sikh God is the very imitation of Allah, and their devotion is in the mode of Sufis. There are many points of similarity which Islam and Sufism can point out in the Sikh dogma.
Of the trilogy authored by Gainsay Singh, Lest We the Sikhs Go Astray is the first volume on What Sikhism stands for and What it does not. The other two books comprising of the trilogy of the spiritual quest are in the Witches Cauldron and The Armchair Sikh. The fourth book, A God Made to Order deals with the identity, scope and reasoning concerning God, the Creator of all life, who controls and regulates our universe.
