The Guru Granth Sahib, or Adi Sri Guru Granth Sahib,
is the holy scripture and the final Guru of the Sikhs.
It is a voluminous text of 1430 pages, compiled and
composed during the period of Sikh Gurus, from 1469
to 1708. It is a collection of hymns or bhajans, which
describe what God is like and the right way to live.
Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708), the tenth of the Sikh
Gurus, affirmed the sacred text Adi Granth as his successor,
terminating the line of human Gurus, and elevating the
text to Guru Granth Sahib. Thenceforward the text remained
the holy scripture of the Sikhs, regarded as the living
embodiment of the Ten Gurus. The role of Guru Granth
Sahib, as a source or guide of prayer, is pivotal in
worship in Sikhism. The Adi Granth was first compiled
by the fifth Sikh guru, Guru Arjan Dev (1563-1606),
from hymns of the first five Sikh gurus and other great
saints of the Hindu and Muslim traditions. After the
demise of the tenth Sikh guru many handwritten copies
were prepared for distribution by Baba Deep Singh.
