Amritsar, which became the headquarter of the Sikhs. The<br />

fifth Guru Arjan <strong>com</strong>piled the Ist sikh Bible largely from<br />

precepts of his predecessors. Gobind the tenth Guru<br />

<strong>com</strong>piled a second book of supplement, devised from of<br />

Baptism, imposed a vow not to worship idols, to bow to<br />

no one but Sikh Guru. And in many ways cemented the<br />

bonds of party war was made a religion duty, and while<br />

Gobind refused to name successor. As Guru, he created<br />

the Sikh Bible (or Granth) a permanent object of worship<br />

with the sahib. Henceforth it was to be their infallible<br />

guide whatever they asked it would show them. The Sikh<br />

Bible is written in the old Hindi Dialect, with a peculiar<br />

mode of writing, it declares the unity of God. But based<br />

on Pantheistic ideas, many of the names are of the<br />

supreme deity. It forbids image worship, but the way in<br />

which Granth itself is worshipped, dressed and decorated<br />

goes far to elevate it into an idol. Many ordinary Hindu<br />

superstitions are included in it such as, the belief in the<br />

sanctity of the cow, the vast number of transmigrations<br />

of souls and <strong>com</strong>plete submission to the Guru. In recent<br />

years Sikh faith has very considerately retrograded<br />

forwards. Many Sikhs now adopted caste, wear the<br />

Brahmanical thread and observe Hindu festivals and<br />

ceremonies. There is notable temple of Gobind at Patna<br />

containing many remains of him. The temple at Amritsar<br />

is one of the most striking sights in India, it is dedicated<br />

to one God under his name Hari, but he is believed to be<br />

visibly represented by the sacred book.<br />
