| | Sikh Bhagats : BABA SHEIKH FARID JI:Gateway to Sikhism |

| | Bibliography of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji |
| | Two major points of the books are that the Bhagat- Bani was incorporated in Sri Guru Granth Sahib from the pothis scribed under the supervision of Guru Amar Dass, and secondly, that nearly all the Bhagats were direct disciples of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and not fore-runners. | | | Secondly, these saints were not Sikh Gurus, and according to the traditional (mystical) view, they were devotees (Bhagats) of Sikh Gurus. | | | Sikhs believe that the writings of the Gurus as well as those of the Bhagats constitute one single body. |

| | The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum |
| | The bhagat bani gives a unique inter-religious, inter-regional flavour to the Adi Granth and the bhagat bani of the Guru Granth Sahib is a wonderfully catholic, cosmopolitan aspect of this scripture. | | | Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Guru of the Sikhs, had the bani of the first four Gurus compiled in a manuscript for which he asked Bhai Gurdas, a major Sikh theologian, to be the scribe. | | | All the hymns are meant to be sung; and kirtan, the singing of the bani in an appropriate raga, is considered by Gurmat as an essential part of the religion and the sole form of worship among the Sikhs. |

| | AAD GURU GRANTH SAHIB |
| | Daljit Singh and Kharak Singh [19]: Undeniably, the world-view of Bhagats is different from that of the Gurus. | | | Harchand Singh [27]: Bhagat writings, at places are at variance with those of the Sikh Gurus and when such variances do occur, the Sikhs have to follow the writings of their Gurus. | | | Almost every verse of Bani of each Sikh Guru ends with the pen name of ‘Nanak’ as the author, whether it was composed by Guru Nanak himself or by the other Sikh Gurus who succeeded to the House of Nanak. |

| | Poetice Justice: Level of Comprehension |
| | The other irony, a grave tragedy, reflecting the distancing of Sikh awareness from the living light of Sikh knowledge, is the failure of Sikh youth to realize, and identify the words of the Guru Granth Sahib ji as spiritual essence delivered via the medium of poetry. | | | The few playful souls within our midst, who have chosen to dedicate their lives to the arts,find themselves quite alone in the community of Sikhs. | | | Many reasons come to mind as put forward by Sikhs around the world. |
