There is only One God.

Only the grace of a true Guru can lead us to God.

This ‘Holy Granth’ contains the message of God.
It is the true and permanent Spiritual Guide of the Sikhs.
It was compiled by Guru Arjan, the fifth Guru of the Sikhs.
It contains verses of six Sikh Gurus.
It also contains verses of other Indian Saints such as Kabir, Farid, Surdas, Namdev, Tirlochan, Ravidas, Ramanand, Dhana, and Jaidev etc.
All verses are set in 31 musical ragas (tunes), because music helps the mind to absorb the message faster.

Main message for humanity

Only by the grace of a true Guru, the ego can be dissolved and eternal happiness can be achieved.
To smilingly accept the will of God.
