...Abstract Kabir Das : Literature and Communication Literature is the mirror of society and it is the reflection of the age, which it belongs to. Literature of any age and era shows the prevalent trend of the period when it was created and connects at its best to that era. The uniqueness of the literature of Saint Kabir is that it transcends all boundaries and limitations of time and place. In spite of the fact that his literature belongs to the period of 15th century it is still relevant, remembered, quoted and discussed with passion and fervor not only among the connoisseurs of art and literature but also among common man and youth. This article is an attempt to throw light on the various dimensions of Kabir Das’s literature and how it is still effectively communicated and in turn is used for effective communication. This paper contemplates on the varied aspects of kabir’s literature. Kabir’s literature is known for elements of mysticism, spirituality, concept of love, his objectivity in imparting moral education, his attack on vices of human behavior, hypocrisy and materialistic attitude. All these aspects are dominantly reflected in his literary works and are still relevant in today’s social scenarios which are well communicated in the form of his well remembered ‘Dohas’ and poetry. Hence, it is concluded that Kabir’s literature, in spite of being so old and classical is timeless and well applicable and connected with today’s era. His ‘Dohas’ makes...

...valuable resource to prepare couples for marriage and orient them toward a shared, Sikh-centered life. Because Sikh values, Sikh rituals, and commitment is central to Sikh marriage, therefore a marriage preparation course is required for all intending to marry into the Sikh faith. The course will not demolish Sikh marriage, but rather, keep it active. Firstly, learning the values of Sikhism is important before marrying a true Sikh. The Guru’s (ten spiritual teachers) have created values that a Sikh man or women must follow. The important values are for everyday use. All humans are equal before god-couples should know no discrimination is allowed on the basis of caste, race, sex, creed, etc. As for gender equality, Guru Amar Das ji (3rd teacher) gave woman equal status and equal rights in the society. The man in the relationship needs to know that his wife to-be is and has equal amounts of right. As of then the Sikh women is allowed to lead religious congregations, to take part in continuous recitation of the Holy Scriptures, to perform hymns, to work as priest and to participate freely in all religious activities. Sikhism instructs couples to consider one another to be equal. No one is inferior or superior. Therefore the two individuals ought to respect and share ones interest or concern. Also a value that Sikh must fulfill day and night is to mediate. “Those who meditate on God attain salvation. For them, the cycle of birth and death is...

...practices. Hinduism believes in many deities, and accepts that there is no correct way of practice as long as an individual’s ambition is dharma. The Bhagavad Gita, Hinduism’s holy book, quotes, “You are what you believe in. You become that which you believe you can become.” Sikhism is the youngest world religion. It was founded nearly 500 years ago in the Punjab region of India. Currently, there are about thirty million Sikhs in the world today, making it the fifth largest world religion. The key idea of Sikhism is to live life as a gursikh, one who eliminates darkness ('gu'), and demonstrates enlightenment (‘ru’). The concepts of Sikhism were developed over many years from ten different gurus, and placed into Sikhism’s holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib. They believe in one God alone, as shown in the opening line, “Ik...

...discrepancy is the fact that Islam is a universalist religion and is very actively seeking converts. Sikhism is more of an ethnic religion, which lacks this trait, even though it is principally open to converts. Both religions are strictly monotheistic at their cores. Muslims, the followers of Islam, believe in Allah or God being the one and only God who is the essence of everything. Their holy book, the Qur’an , which was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed in the 7th century CE, is considered to be God’s direct word. The Prophet Mohammed is considered the founder of Islam, but does not have divine status. Sikhism was founded in the 16th century by Guru Nanak in Punjab. It is based on his teachings and the nine Gurus that followed him. It’s main scipture, the Guru Granth Sahib, is considered a Guru itself and is worshipped and respected like a human Guru.

...Discussion 1: “Wearing the Guru Jacket.” Please respond to the following: * Identify the rule which most surprises you about the “short version” of the Sikh “Code of Conduct,” and explain why you are surprised to find that rule was included in the Code. * Explain which one of the meanings of the 5 Ks of Sikhism most intrigues you, and explain why. * Describe what you would ask Guru Gobind Singh if you could ask him just one thing, and explain why. I think the rule that surprises me the most in the Sikh Code of Conduct was that they must never cut their hair as it is considered interfering in God’s will. By allowing their hair to grow everywhere on their body, it shows faith in God’s creation & wisdom. Hair also is considered necessary protection to the brain and body for mental and spiritual development. The 5 Ks of Sikhism are Kesh or uncut hair, Kara or a steel bracelet, Kanga or a wooden comb, Kirpan or a steel sword and a Kachera or cotton underwear. Of these I think that the simple wooden comb intrigues me the most because a wooden comb is the symbol for a clean mind and body because it keeps the uncut hair neat. The Guru Gobind Singh was mainly known for guiding his followers through a spirit of both sainthood and soldier to fight cruelty and to restore justice and peace. If I could ask him just one thing I would ask him what we could he thinks we could do in our society, day and time to help with justice and peace in our Country. I would ask...

...part of my ascribed statuses among society. As I grew up I acquired more status’s threw the addition of family members, hobbies, and sports. These acquired statuses are considered achieved statuses because you have to earn them; they are not given to you. For me, ascribed statuses are those such as a son, grandson, or nephew. Where as most ascribed statuses are easy to point out as your relationship with a relative, as not much else can just be given to you without your effort besides perhaps, the financial situation of your parents or the races they are apart of. My achieved statuses were not so easy to acquire and as I grew older I became a part of many things throughout my life. I played baseball and golf which gave me an achieved status of a sports player in the most...

He had five sons and a daughter. * He was invested with the Guruship on May 25th, 1606 just days before his fathers martyrdom. * From a young age he was educated in the sciences, sports and religion as his farther had insisted. * Baba Buddah was responsible for overseeing the Guru’s religious teachings. * During the Guruship ceremony Guru Hargobind respectfully declined to wear the seli (woollen cord worn on the head) which had been passed down on each successive Guru since Guru Nanak. Instead the Guru asked for a sword. * Baba Buddha, never having handled a sword before, placed it on the wrong side of the Guru. * Guru Hargobind noticing this asked for another sword saying “I’ll wear two swords, a sword of Shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).” This is why the guru would always carry two swords to symbolize his dual role of holding secular power (Miri) and spiritual authority.

...Summary of the Case: Pandori, a Khalsa Sikh and teacher with the Peel Board of Education is now not permitted to wear his religiously significant kirpan due to a new no-weapons policy in his school district. The Peel Board made this policy in a response to the uncomfortably increasing number of knife incidents and violence in its schools. Pandori took this case to the Ontario Human Rights Commission which set up an inquiry under the Human Rights Code to investigate. The Board in Inquiry ruled that the school boards policy discriminated against Khalsa Sikhs and allowed Pandori to continue to wear his kirpan if the kirpan could not be easily removed from it sheath. They also found that there were little no incidents of a kirpan being used as a weapon let alone in any Peel school and that other Toronto-area schools allowed students and faculty to wear them. With this the Board of Inquiry ruled that this policy amounted to religious discrimination. The Peel school board argued that the kirpan could be seen as a dangerous weapon by other non-Sikhs and are prohibited in some courtrooms and airplanes. The Peel school board then claims that it is reasonable to impose kirpans to ensure the safety of the school in an entirety and they would not accommodate to the requirements of the Khalsa Sikhs. The Crowns position: The Board in Inquiry ruled that the school boards policy discriminated against Khalsa Sikhs and allowed Pandori to continue to wear his kirpan if the kirpan could not be...
