Publisher's Synopsis
Sikhism is the newest religion of India. Therefore, it is free from several shortcomings of the older religions (Hinduism, Jainism & Buddhism). But it still carries some hangover of Hinduism.This book is a complete evaluation of Sikhism. It examines the historical factors which led to the development of Sikhism, why it became so powerful and what has been its positive contribution to the growth of human consciousness. This book also demonstrates how a part of Sikhism is false and harmful. This book compares it with other religions and examines whether it can co-exist peacefully in a multi-religious society. My evaluation of the cosmological beliefs of Sikhism is based on the latest scientific theories about the origin, evolution, and operation of the universe. The world-view of Sikhism as stated in this book is based on the most basic Sikh text - Sri Guru Granth Sahib. All quotations in this book have been taken directly from this basic source. This book is meant for anyone who wants to understand the religions of the world and the fundamental role they have played in shaping human thought & behavior. It would also enable you to make an informed decision on whether or not to follow or propagate the Sikh way of life.
