Adi Granth  | July 16, 2004

Adi Granth is the sacred scripture of the Sikhs; traditionally referred to as the Granth Sahib (Book of the Lord). The prefix Adi (first) is affixed to distinguish it from the Dasam (tenth) Granth, a compilation made by the tenth Guru, Gobindh Singh. While the Dasam Granth is treated with reverence, only the Adi Granth is accorded scriptural status and regarded as the “living” embodiment of all the ten gurus.
