What Our Some Powerful Books Each Sikh Should Read

[sikhstudent99]

For me i think it is mans search for meaning by viktor frankl

Many lessons in that book that you find in the guru granth sahib an sikh philosophy

[ghatak]

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

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

In search of the true guru by Bhai Rama Singh ji

[JagsawSingh]

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.

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.

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 .
