EXPLORING The Guru Granth Sahib(Part 1)
The Guru Granth Sahib is the most valuable and beautiful gift to the Sikhs. Nankian philosophy, enshrined in it is very unique in itself. It reveals what is peace, what is love and harmony, what is happiness and what is discipline in life! The true Jeevan jach, what we call is Gurmat. Gurbani has profound divine energy, when you engross in it you will feel insulated with divine vibration and the Almighty God will protect you wherever you go.
The Guru Granth Sahib is much more than a sacred Scripture to The Sikhs. It is their Eternal and Spiritual Living Guru. Sikhism originated in Punjab State (now in India) in the fifteenth century and is now the fifth largest religion spread all over the world.
 Right from the time of Guru Nanak, the concept of “Shabad Guru” or Revealed Divine Word is central to Sikhism and it has been preached and practiced by all the Gurus during their lives and has been discussed in detail in their verses enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib.
The Divine Words – Revealed Hymns included in the Guru Granth Sahib are termed as “Gurbaani”. “Guru” in Sikhism means: “Spiritual and Temporal Enlightener / Preceptor”.
 This Prefix is used for the Ten Sikh Gurus from Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh. After the demise of the last living Guru in 1708, the status of “Guru” was passed on to the Guru Granth Sahib. For the Sikhs, “Granth” denotes ‘Sacred Scripture” of the Sikhs. The term “Sahib” represents ‘an honorific title signifying True Master or Lord’.
 In Sikhism, no living person, however holy or revered, can have the title or status of “Guru”.
For Sikhs, Sri Guru Granth Sahib continues to command the same honor and reverence as would have been due to the then living Gurus themselves in person from 1469 to 1708 CE.
