The Sikh Religion: Its Gurus, Sacred Writings and Authors, Volume 3
'The Sikh Religion: Its Gurus, Sacred Writings and Authors, Volume 3' Summary
Volume 3 of The Sikh Religion by Max Arthur Macauliffe focuses on the life and teachings of the sixth guru of Sikhism, Guru Hargobind.
Guru Hargobind was born in 1595 in Amritsar, Punjab, India. He was the son of Guru Arjun Dev, the fifth guru of Sikhism. Guru Hargobind was a warrior-saint who led the Sikhs in a struggle for freedom from Mughal rule. He was also a great scholar and poet who composed many hymns and poems that are now considered to be part of the Sikh holy scriptures.
Guru Hargobind was a complex and contradictory figure. He was a warrior who fought against the Mughals, but he was also a peacemaker who tried to promote harmony between different religious groups. He was a scholar who wrote many hymns and poems, but he was also a practical man who understood the importance of military power.
Guru Hargobind's reign was a time of great change for the Sikhs. He established the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhism, and he also founded the Nihang, a Sikh military order. Guru Hargobind's teachings helped to shape the Sikh identity and to prepare the Sikhs for the challenges of the future.
Volume 3 of The Sikh Religion is a fascinating and informative book that provides a wealth of insights into the life and teachings of Guru Hargobind. It is well-written and easy to read, even for those who are not familiar with Sikhism.
