The Darbar Sahib of The Sikhs:

“Its setting and architecture declare the essence and magnificence of Faith;

Sacred space reverberating with the music of Praise, Unity, and Universality as an open invitation;

Devotion of the faithful, a cherished pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Hope and Love;

History and associations with Gurus, sacrifices and righteous defiance of martyrs to preserve its sanctity,

and prayers of countless millions of every faith, culture, and nationality personify spiritual Light manifest;

This is hallowed ground, a spiritual edifice like none other that embodies love for One God and all His Children;

This is the Golden Throne, The Harmander Sahib: The Abode of Almighty.”

There is one God, eternal truth is his name; Maker of all things, fearing nothing and at enmity with nothing, timeless is his image;

Not begotten, being of his own being: By the grace of the Guru, made known to men.

SIKHISM: The monotheistic Sikh faith, founded by Guru Nanak (1469-1538) in the Punjab, claims to be one of the youngest and the fifth major religion

in the world with 30 million followers. Today, over 2 million Sikhs (750,000 in the U.S.) are settled outside India. The Golden Temple

at Amritsar, India, is the holiest shrine, a Spiritual Throne, and “Vatican” of the Sikh faith.
