Room 129, English
When Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh faith, in a state of ecstasy received a message from the Divine in 1500 AD, it was in the form of a simple phrase: One Creator is. The oneness of God and creation is the core principle expressed in the Sikh writings, Siri Guru Granth Sahib (known simply as 'the Guru'). With 1430 pages, it is the longest collection of rhymed poetry in the world. The Guru's message is meant for all people of all faiths. To understand its message, we are urged to listen; by listening we attain the state of elevated consciousness of those from whom this divine song poured forth. The panelists will guide the participants in understanding both the sound and meaning of Siri Guru Granth Sahib.
