First Read the 1430 angs of Gurbani in Guru Granth Sahib ji with the translation.

Or listen to Guru granth sahib ji's katha by giani thakur singh which is available on gurbaniupdesh.org

Good Luck

I believe Sikhstudent99 was asking about books, (Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a book in the same way Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is not a man but Vaheguru himself).

Conversation with God by Neale Donald Walsch was recommended by bhai jugraj singh of BoS

Bandginama by Raghbir singh bir. Really good book goes into detail about spirituality.

Also prof Puran Singh wrote in english

And bhai veer singh in panjabi if possible if not there r english translations

Also JailChittiyan by Bhai Randhir Singh. One of my favorite books is Why worshipping Guru Granth Sahib is not idol worship by bhai randhir singh. I read it in panjabi tho

For me, a search of the archives of this very forum is worth 10 million% more than any 'sikh book'. (to those of you who recommended he read Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji: hang your heads in shame for thinking our living Guru is a 'book')

OP......a search of this forum will reveal that we (the Sikhs) are no longer the uneduacted and illiterate plebs at the mercy of the urban 'half-sikh/half-hindu' classes that are the authors of 99% of the historical sikh related books that exist. We've passed that stage. We've passed the stage where one of those celebrated urban class sikhs could, simpply because his mother and father were also urban educated, write sikh history books whereby they tell the sikh world that the word 'nihung' means crocodile.

No. We're at the stage where the sons, daughters, grandsons and grand-daughters of rural sikhs that emigrated to England, Canada etc are, for the first time, out-educating those urban lot in India and pointing out their ineptidude. An archived search of sikhsangat.com is the same as the greatest sikh book ever written.

Go.

Go on a voyage of discovery.

A Little History of the World by EM Gombrich. A cracking, seminal book that youngsters are given as an introduction to history, but one that the unaware adult can learn a lot from too.

It's a breath-taking and brief hurtle through the very beginning of human history, right up until the end of WWII when it was written. It really does put life into context, and more importantly, it highlights - to me - what Sikhs should do - and not do - if we are to survive and thrive in coming generations.

conversations is tricky , unless you have a grounding in sikh philosophy it can make you feel that pap pun concepts are not important , just need to be happy and good people

Agree. Some parts did not match Sikh thought. But i liked how it described God n how he decided to create the world. N i like the explanations about if there is 1 god why are there so many religions...but i couldnt finish it, it concentrated too much on how we ourselves are a creator and a God.

The conversation series does answer most or any doubtful question about spirituality. As I said in my post from reading CWG series that creation is already finished. One chooses an aspect of infinity(GOD) either consiously or subconsiously and expeience that in the physical.

But Sikh chooses the path of destroying the illusion via naam simran and consiously merge with GOD. Then game over. The conversation

Says the same thing. Mind is causing the illusion to go on. Choose choose choose what you want to experience is the summary of CWG series. Belief creates reality or believing is seeing not the other way around. Which is quantum physics also aligning with SIkhi choose naam simran choose GOD over his illusion. If you choose illusion you choose reincarnation.

Other books to cement ones belief in Sikhi

Pachmi parkash biography Sant Karam Singh hoti mardan wale

Sant Gatha biography sant Attar Singh Reru Wale

The whole quantam physics thing is explained in Gurbani , as maya will be duty bound to serve the Gurmukh once they serve and surrender all to Akal Purakh .

    • Uncle, realistically are you gonna challenge it in real life? I could fully jhatka and eat a steak wearing Bana bilkul tere samne but on God you could do nothing about that 😂
    • Flintstone Saab, can't you type in one message? Or must you drop the full Godfather trilogy with every response, minimum 3 responses? 1) They don't jhatka cows at Hazur Sahib because it's in a country called "India", in a state called "Maharashtra" - and beef is strictly illegal there 2) I said a quote from Adi/Dasam Granth saying "you can't eat beef" - "protection of cows" could be Maharaj talking about defending them for Hindus, same reason we do Aarti-Aarta. If u reference a quote, u gotta say the context of the verse. Otherwise there are verses in SGGS Ji which seemingly tell you to convert to Islam; of course that's not what Maharaj is saying but without context many quotes from Baani seem misleading 3) Why does 90% of your "evidence" come from living people, like "the head of Taruna Dal" or "Baba Pala Singh" - very rarely (like less than 10%) of it is from the Gurus' direct words. Do you realise that these people are humans with flaws/bias? Maharaj ended the line of human Gurus for a reason 4) Funnily enough, even Budha Dal's maryada in the Sundar gutka does not ban beef. If individual Akaalis taboo it, that doesn't mean it's the actual hukam lol 5) You mention Naamdharis guarding cows but they are also vegetarians who do not carry a kirpan and say Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a Guru - using them as an example is funny 😂   6) Bro who uses "diapers" and "mate" in the same sentence? 😂 Man really tried sounding like Andrew Tate with the British/American accent mix 7) So you're about 30 years old and still beefing strangers online? Brooooo where's your MOTHER, did Aunty Ji never shout you away from ur keyboard? "Oy Flentstone puttar, thalle aa hun, roti ban gyi!!!!" 8 ) Wait since you're some Uncle, how do you balance work life with ur keyboard warrior shift? Or do u just sit vailah at home, like unemployed? SERIOUS QUESTION: Is your account rank on this forum the only thing on your CV ?😂😂😂  9) Can you imagine Maharaj condoning you calling me names like "mughal"? You keep reading about these "heads of Taruna Dal" but you need to google "Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings on kindness and anger" instead - you're basically trying to solve degree level maths equations when you can't even understand "1 + 1 = 2"  (prediction - I bet he's gonna respond debating one little detail of this post like my joke about accents, but fully miss the bigger picture, or get upset again. He also will likely reference another "sant" or author, or pull a random quote completely out of context😂)
    • ਕੇਵਲ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਨਾਮੇ ਹੀ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਪਾਈ ॥ Kaeval Raam Naam Man Vasiaa Naamae Hee Mukath Paaee || केवल राम नामु मनि वसिआ नामे ही मुकति पाई ॥ The Naam, the Name of the Lord alone abides in the mind; and through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one finds liberation.
    • Shame if our past these modern days jatts sgpc lost are . One question I have is...where were the Nihangs and the anti jar Seva when anandgarh was town down and kshgarh remade to what it is now....mughals couldn't even destroy the qila. Yet we did at multiple places with our own hands..shame on sangat flr not stopping precious ones and lakh lanat to the destructors of Sikh puratan asthaans all these kar Seva babeh of the past 
    • Reason behind it is.  You can't get mass sangat in to fill the golak up.... that's why they are all the same in design etc .probs some mafia rAcket related to the mass marbeling of gurughars. Such a shame. Hardly any pictures of the original anandgar qila..only one in the toor collection
