Thus, care has been taken to unravel the fabric of the (Sikh gurus) living experience of faith, grace and prayer-with minimal damage to its intricate singleness; and at many a place, meticulous attention to the literal and suggested meanings of Gurbani has enabled the authoress to improve upon the current translations of the Adi Granth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book may well be expected to improve our understanding of the three concepts chosen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Book is worth study, it shows how to combine he analytical with the devotional approach in Sikhism. The author displays a profound knowledge of the Guru Granth and, unlike some other Sikh academics, approaches the subject with reverence, The book is highly recommended, It is the most comprehensive account of the foundations of Sikh religious thought that we have come across in English-conveyed analytically while remaining faithful to the message.\u003cbr\u003e-Ravinder Singh (Ohio) and J J Singh (New York) in Sikh Review, Kolkata, November 1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author has succeeded in her approach to the Sikh scripture with her training in philosophic methodology. She has probed the Guru Granth with the help of tools shaped by the philosophical tradition, particularly in the 20th century, One merit of the study under review is the neat selection of relevant passages from the Guru Granth, together with their translation and interpretation, in respect of the assertion made. This effort fructifies in making the reader familiar with the textual message of the gurus and bhaktas represented in the Granth. Dr Satnam Kaur deserves commendation for the impressive work undertaken.\u003cbr\u003e-Prof Wazir Singh (New Delhi) in Journal of Indian Council of Philosophical Research, New Delhi, Vol. XVII, Number 1, September-December 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the second edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuide to Transliteration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFAITH\u003cbr\u003eThe Fabric of Concepts\u003cbr\u003ePhilosophical Perspective\u003cbr\u003eThe Sikh View\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGRACE\u003cbr\u003eSome general reflections\u003cbr\u003eThe Look Benign\u003cbr\u003eDivine Liberality\u003cbr\u003eAs Compassion and Redress\u003cbr\u003eThe Grace of Giving\u003cbr\u003eAs Satguru’s Benevolence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRAYER\u003cbr\u003eSome Philosophical Problems\u003cbr\u003eGod in Prayer\u003cbr\u003eThe Value of Nam\u003cbr\u003eSome Prayers Analysed\u003cbr\u003eA Paradigm of Prayer: Ardas\u003cbr\u003eKind of Prayer in Sikhism\u003cbr\u003eThe Resplendent Adoration: Arti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslations of the Passages from Adi Granth cited in the Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Gurmukhi Passages cited in the Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Satnam Kaur \/ Pragati Publications \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153667649904,"sku":"13172","price":46.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/13172.jpg?v=1793912349","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/three-basics-of-sikh-religious-thought","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
