Sikhism (Simple Guide)

Sikhism will help the reader to appreciate one of the historic religions of the Indian subcontinent; to understand what it means to be a Sikh, especially the guru-disciple relationship; and to recognise the key festivals of the Sikh year and the different aspects of Sikh worship and practice.

Ideal for spiritual seekers and travellers alike, Sikhism aims to open the doors of perception, and provides a point of reference for further exploration and discovery.

By offering essential insights into the core values, customs and belief of Sikh society, the book also enables visitors to be aware of the cultural sensibilities of their hosts, and to behave in a way that fosters mutual respect and understanding.
