Reading the Guru Granth Sahib is an
important part of a Sikh man, woman or child’s life. The Guru Granth
Sahib comprising of 1430 pages and 5864 hymns or verses is not just
another holy book for the Sikhs; who regard it is as their perpetual,
eternal and living Guru. No one can change or alter any of the words,
structure of sentence, grammar or meaning of verses in the Guru Granth
Sahib.
The authority and sanctity of the Guru
Granth Sahib as a sacrosanct spiritual guide is reflected in the manner
in which it was treated with respect by the Sikh Gurus themselves.
Guru Arjan Dev—the fifth Sikh Guru
Guru Arjan Dev– the first Guru to be
born into a Sikh family– is credited to have installed the first edition
of the Sikh scripture at Harimandir Sahib or Golden Temple in Amritsar.
