Sri Dasam Granth Sahib: Text, Transliteration, and English Translation (4 Volume Set)
$199.99
Sri Dasam Granth Sahib is a sacred scripture of Sikhism, composed primarily by Guru Gobind Singh ji, the tenth Sikh Guru. It is distinct from the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the central and most revered holy book of Sikhism, containing the teachings of the Sikh Gurus and other saints. The collection of writings are composed in Braj, Punjabi, Persian, and Sanskrit. It contains spiritual, philosophical, mythological, and martial poetry, and emphasizes dharam yudh (righteous war), devotion to one God, and moral courage.
Some of its key compositions include:
- Jaap Sahib: A hymn praising God in various names and attributes; used in daily Sikh prayers.
- Akal Ustat: A hymn in praise of the Timeless Being, Akal Purakh.
- Chandi Charitar: A retelling of the mythological tale of the Hindu goddess Durga's battles against demons, used as an allegory for the fight against evil.
- Bachittar Natak: An autobiography of Guru Gobind Singh ji, recounting his spiritual and historical journey.
- Zafarnama: A letter written in Persian by Guru Gobind Singh ji to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, in which the Guru rebukes him for his deceitful actions.
While the Guru Granth Sahib is revered as the living Guru and the ultimate spiritual authority for Sikhs, the Dasam Granth is highly respected for its historical and literary significance. It is often studied for its insights into the life and philosophy of Guru Gobind Singh ji and for its powerful and inspiring poetry.
This four volume set includes original text in Gurmukhi, English Transliteration, and English Translation.
