IV Sacred Text

The Guru Granth Sahib is the sacred text of the Sikhs. It was compiled by Guru Arjan Dev in 1604 and is 1,430 pages long. The text includes the hymns and poems of Guru Nanak, his successors, and Muslim and Hindu poets. Upon his death in 1708 Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru, ordained that personal guruship was at an end; thereafter it was to be vested in the Guru Granth Sahib.
