Completed in 1934 Bk/AD 1877 and published in 1955 Bk/AD 1898 by B&#363&#7789&#257 Si&#7749gh at the Anglo-Sanskrit Press, Lahore, the book is written in the Gurmukh&#299 script and, in its printed form, contains at the end some tracts as well. These tracts include <i>Pr&#299khi&#257 Prakaran, Ak&#257l M&#363rati Darshan</i> and <i>V&#257higur&#363 Sabad&#257rth</i>. The book deals with points such as the status of the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib as revelation, the need of a <i>&#7789&#299k&#257</i> or exegesis, the philosophy of <i>bhakt&#299</i>, the doctrine of <i>avat&#257r</i> or incarnation and Gur&#363 N&#257nak as an <i>avat&#257r</i>, the <i>rahit</i> or Sikh code of conduct, Sikh ethics, the relevance of rites and rituals and the importance of Gur&#363 in the Sikh tradition. Another important point that the book makes is that Sikhism is a distinct and separate faith and not just a sect of Hinduism.</p> </ol><p class="CONT">Dharam Si&#7749gh<br></p><BR> </font> <img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""> </HTML></BODY>
