The Guru Granth Sahib (Adi Granth) is a unique piece of religious literature. For Sikhs it is much more than a mere book of scriptures. It embodies the spirit and philosophy of the founder of Sikh religion, Guru Nanak and his nine successors. The Granth is actually considered to be a living guru, a spiritual guide who teaches God’s message to humanity. Not just a book, but a sacred person.Throughout its 1430 pages, the Granth contains 6000 hymns of devotion to God, reflections on the divine cosmos, and vision of higher life. It calls upon mankind to attain spiritual peace and liberation, a state known as "Mukti". Liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It also contains the fundamental beliefs of Sikhism
