Description
VOLUME I
Teaching is a highly rewarding profession. The peace enjoyed by a teacher while looking at the satisfied faces of the students and hearing the sincerely voiced thanks cannot be described in words. While teaching, the teacher also learns many lessons from the students. They can make him not only a better teacher but also more popular with his students. Here are some of the lessons learnt by the author from the youth while teaching Sikh heritage to them.
VOLUME II
The source of all religions is God. A devotee needs an unshakable faith in Him to be a religious person. If there is even an iota of doubt about god, faith in Him has little value.
During the Sikh youth camps the students, who were not convinced about the existence of God, asked many questions regarding the concept of God. The discussions held at different camps during 1985-1995 were summarized in two articles who is God? And Was God Invented or Discovered
A young Sikh scholar, Ishwinder Singh, Chandigarh wrote the article Is there God? It is based on the material he found from the internet. Another article, Guru Granth Sahib, A Universal Scripture for World Peace written for the conference on Guru Granth Sahib and World Peace in 2003 at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar has also been included. This article meets the need of a seeker who wants to practise faith for peace.
