The Sikh holy book, The Guru Granth Sahib, is fundamentally different than anyother religious scriptures because it is considered as their living Guru. In contrast to the Bible or the Koran, which are both held in high reverence to their religions, The Guru Granth Sahib is much more than just written holy words in a book, it is actual Guru of the Sikhs.It consists of a compilation of religious and mystic poetry written by an array of spiritual leaders from the 12th century to the 17th all over India and Persia, with some authors not even belonging to the Sikh faith. It also holds avast collection of hymns and writings, which reflect the times they were written during.This Sikh holy book is significantly different from other faiths because in other religions, when their leader or guru dies, a new one is appointed or succeeds their predecessor. With the Guru Granth Sahib, there is no appointingof a new guru because the book will be their constant leader. Sikhism is open to all through the teachings of its 10 Gurus enshrined in the Sikh Holy Book and Living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
