Definition:
Compiled in the year 1603 by the fifth Guru, Arjan, the Adi Granth ("First Book") is
the principle collection of Sikh scriptures. Arjan included in this both his own
writings and the ideas of the four previous Gurus, along with other material he
considered important. Despite the diversity of authors, there is a consistent message
that a person should work to attain spiritual liberation through belief and
contemplation in the divine Name.
