Sisällön kuvaus:
Part of the World Gospel Series, this book is based on a new translation of the Japji and many portions of the Guru Granth of the Sikhs, with explanatory notes and a historical and biographical Introduction.Sikhism, according to the foreword, is a practical way of life that does not involve itself in verbose theorizing but leads a man straight to his goal. "There is one God, absolute, eternal, infinite, beyond all human comprehension, yet revealed through creation, and through grace to one prepared by the practice of devotion and the virtues."Duncan Greenlees (1899-1966) was educated in England and spent much of his life in India. He was associated with Dr. Annie Besant in her educational work for India and served as Principal of one of the many theosophical high schools she founded. He participated in the Indian national struggle for freedom, was associated with Gandhi, and drafted into the Indian National Education Policy. Later, withdrawing from all worldly and political activities, he made a study of the religious scriptures of the world.
