Sri Guru Granth Sahib, translated by Sant Singh Khalsa, is the complete English rendering of the eternal scripture and living Guru of the Sikh faith — a vast collection of hymns, poems, and prayers composed by Sikh Gurus, Sufi saints, and Hindu bhaktas, all celebrating the one formless God. The Granth is unique among world scriptures in its inclusion of voices from multiple traditions, united by the common experience of divine love. This translation is an essential resource for anyone who wishes to study Sikhism or encounter the extraordinary spiritual poetry of this tradition.
