[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 66160, member: 5290"] [B]The Sikh Temple: Guru Granth Sahib[/B] This is the sacred book of the Sikhs also popularly known as the Adi Granth. It was compiled by Guru Arjan and installed in the Golden Temple in the year 1604. At that time it contained the hymns of only the first five Gurus and those of Bhagats (saints) of medieval India. The original copy of the Granth fell into the hands of Dhir Mal, the son of the sixth Guru, Har Gobind, who refused to pass it on to the ninth Guru Tegh Bahadur. Guru Gobind Singh; therefore, dictated the whole book once again to his devoted follower Mani Singh at Damdama in the year 1706. He also included in it the hymns written by the Ninth Guru. Before his death Guru Gobind Singh ordered his Sikhs to take good care of the Holy Book and regard it as their final and eternal Guru (enlightener) after him. The Holy Book contains 1,430 pages and 3,384 hymns, of which 937 have been contributed by fifteen Bhagats and seventeen Bhats. The bulk of the hymns are in Punjabi. The other languages used are Hindi, Persian, Sanskrit, Gujrati, Marathi and dialects of North India. Where reference has been made to Islam, Arabic words have also crept in.

(Mundavani M.5, page 1,429) According to Prof. Puran Singh the Granth is "the scripture of all nations, for it is the lyric of divine love, and all the people of the earth subsist on such glowing lyrical power.
