Learning about Sikhism in Year 6













About Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy book) - By Jade (who made the model pictured above)


Just before he passed away the tenth Guru, (a Guru is a teacher of the Sikh religion) Gobin Singh chose the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the Sikh holy book, to be the next guru, and their will be no more Gurus. Where ever the Guru Granth Sahib is placed, becomes a Gurdwara (a place of worship for Sikhs).A Gurdwara doesn’t have to be a special building, as long as it contains the Guru Granth Sahib.

They treat the holy book with great respect, as if it were a real person. It is rested on a cloth and three cushions, and it is put to bed in a ceremony. It is also taken out in a ceremony.
