PIRTHIPAL SINGH KAPUR \u0026 DR. MOHINDER SINGH (HARDCOVER)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the greatest spiritual masters of the world and a prince among the martyrs, Guru Arjan Dev, placed the Sikh ideal of martyrdom at a very high pedestal. The twenty-five year period of the pontificate of Guru Arjan Dev, coming half way between Guru Nanak Dev and Guru Gobind Singh, saw multi-dimensional growth and development of Sikhism. By compiling the Adi Granth and installing it in the sanctum sanctorum of the Golden Temple in 1604, Guru Arjan Dev laid the foundation of the interfaith movement, which is becoming increasingly popular these days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sikh faith acquired a strong scriptural, doctrinal and organizational base under the Guruship of Guru Arjan Dev and became a potential force for a cultural renaissance in Panjab. Increasing popularity of the Sikh movement under Guru Arjan Dev attracted religious fanaticism of the contemporary Mughal Emperor Jahangir who claimed himself as protector of Islam. This is evident from the Emperor's memoirs called Tuzk-i-Jahangiri.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a view to check the growing popularity of the Guru and Sikh movement the Emperor ordered the execution of the Guru through tortures under the Mongol laws of Yasa which were generally applied in the case of spiritual leaders. Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom proved to be a turning point in Sikh history. It was not surprising therefore to find his son and the successor, Guru Hargobind, donning the swords of Miri and Piri providing leadership to the community both in temporal and spiritual affairs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on scholarly writings and works of art taken from different sources at home and abroad, this book tries to construct the life and times of Guru Arjan Dev and the unique role he played in the Sikh history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45374103126059,"sku":null,"price":1880.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/GURUARJANDEV.jpg?v=1789621211","url":"https:\/\/www.indianhobbycenter.com\/products\/guru-arjan-dev-life-martyrdom-and-legacy-by-prof-pirthipal-singh-kapur-dr-mohinder-singh-hardcover","provider":"Indian Hobby Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
