The Harmandir Sahib also Darbar Sahib, and informally referred to as the Golden Temple is a prominent Sikh Gurdwara located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India. It was built by the fifth Sikh guru, Guru Arjan Dev, in the 16th Century. In 1604, Guru Arjan Dev completed the Adi Granth, the holy scripture of Sikhism, and installed it in the Gurdwara.
There are four doors to get into the Harmandir Sahib, which symbolize the openness of the Sikhs towards all people and religions.The present day Gurdwara was rebuilt in 1764 by Jassa Singh Ahluwalia with the help of other Sikh Misl's. In the early nineteenth century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh secured the Punjab region from outside attack and covered the upper floors of the Gurdwara with gold, which gives it its distinctive appearance and English name the Golden Temple.
Sri Harmandir Sahib literally means The Temple of God. The fourth guru of Sikhism, Guru Ram Das ji, excavated a tank in 1577 CE which subsequently became known as Amritsar (meaning "Pool of the Nectar of Immortality"), giving its name to the city that grew around it. In due course, a Sikh edifice, Sri Harmandir Sahib (meaning "the abode of God"), rose in the middle of this tank and became the supreme centre of Sikhism. Its sanctum came to house the Adi Granth comprising compositions of Sikh Gurus and other saints considered to have Sikh values and philosophies, e.g., Baba Farid, and Kabir. The compilation of The Adi Granth was started by the fifth guru of Sikhism, Guru Arjan Dev ji.
Sri Harmandir Sahib at nig Gurdwara was surrounded by a small lake in a thin forest. The third of the six grand Mughals, Emperor Akbar, who visited the third Sikh Guru, Guru Amar Das, in the neighbouring town of Goindval, was so impressed by the way of life in the town that he gave a jagir (the land and the revenues of several villages in the vicinity) to the Guru's daughter Bhani as a gift on her marriage to Bhai Jetha, who later became the fourth Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das ji. Guru Ram Das ji enlarged the lake and built a small township around it. The town was named after Guru Ram Das ji as Guru Ka Chak', Chak Ram Das or Ram Das Pura.
During the leadership of the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev (1581--1606), the full-fledged Gurdwara was built. In December 1588, Guru Arjan Dev ji initiated the construction of the Gurdwara. The foundation stone was laid by none other than Sri Guru Arjan Dev Sahib himself in December 1588. It is a common misconception that the foundation stone was laid by the Sufi saint Mian Mir of Lahore.
The Gurdwara was completed in 1604. Guru Arjan Dev ji, installed the Guru Granth Sahib in it and appointed Baba Buddha Ji as the first Granthi of it on August 1604. In the mid-18th century it was attacked by the Afghans, by one of Ahmed Shah Abdali's generals, Jahan Khan, and had to be substantially rebuilt in the 1760s. However, in response a Sikh Army was sent to hunt down the Afghan force. They were under orders to show no mercy and historical evidence suggests the Sikh Army was decisively victorious in the ensuing battle. Both forces met each other five miles outside Amritsar; Jahan Khan's army was destroyed.
Operation Blue Star was commenced on 3 June 1984 and ended on 6 June 1984. The Indian Army led by General Kuldip Singh Brar brought infantry, artillery, and tanks into Sri Harmandir Sahib to arrest Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Sri Harmandir Sahib complex and some of the surrounding houses were fortified. The Statesman reported on 4 July that light machine-guns and sophisticated self-loading rifles were known to have been brought into the compound.
Indira Gandhi ordered the army to launch Operation Blue Star. Within six months, Indira Gandhi's Sikh bodyguards killed her (31 October 1984) for the perceived sacrilege.
Fierce fighting ensued between Bhindranwale's supporters and the soldiers, in which many of Bhindranwale's supporters were killed along with many soldiers. An official account tallies the deaths of 83 soldiers and 492 civilians killed by the army Sri Harmandir Sahib complex also suffered much damage due to the fighting, especially the holy Sri Akal Takhat Sahib.
Many Sikhs regarded the attack as a desecration of their holiest shrine and discrimination of a minority.
In 1986, the repairs performed on the holy Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, which the Rajiv Gandhi Government had undertaken without consultation, were removed. A new Sri Akal Takhat Sahib was completed in 1999 by Kar Sevaks.

"Temple" means house of God. The Harmandir Sahib is a house of the guru, knows as a "Gurudvara" (literally, "door to the teacher"). Waheguruji ki kalsa!

[@TheWorldTeacher]

F.I.S.H Paragraph 37. Many persons wonder why there is so much suffering. Personally, I am truly amazed that there isn't more suffering, considering how evil humans are - what with the world awash with murder, rape, abortion, pornography, fornication, incest, adultery, homosexuality, deception, divorce, theft, greed, jealousy, lust, sloth, gluttony, disrespect for authority, etc, etc. Just see how merciful God/Goddess is that the average person seems to thrive and prosper despite all his shortcomings! The aphorism "As one sows, so does one reap" applies as much to our thoughts as it does to our actions. To read the remaining thirty-nine paragraphs of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, which the God of all gods has graciously given to His Prophet on Earth, email: [e-mail] with the acronym “FISH” in the subject field.

And i pity those, who hate my good people. cuz the one who doesn't' believe in goodness, is already a dead mass of body.

[@lakhdeep1558]

When you say a Guru's name you say Ji after it like Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Also with Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji you made a mistake you did not say Ji and also after Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji...

[@JustaguyPAUL]

in the beginning she explains religious practices but does not mention that our martial arts called shastraviduyia, the science of weapons, is banned in India and not even the Alkali Nihangs are aloud to practice that martial art which made us the martial race of Asia from 1717-1849

[@RANGHI321]

***** you are ignorant to a new level. what he said is absolutely right. go read history

[@JustaguyPAUL]

***** You are fucking idiot. Learn your history you stupid fucking wanna be

[@RANGHI321]

i know my history. Shaster Vidaya is part of Sikhi, ghatak is not a martial art, its just dumbed down version of shaster Vidaya for showcase. Just by the way you talk proves that you are nothing but an arrogant dumbass. Cussing wont prove anything

[@JustaguyPAUL]

wasn't directed toward you

[@jattnijjerable]

where is the evidence for this ? akali weren't nangs of today shastervidya ???

[@doydark4ever]

non-thinkingness is a true religion

[@differdog9354]

A scientist makes a hypothesis and then looks for evidence to back or refute his claim If there was a creator God who loved and cared about us. The evidence would be as follows: 1 Everybody would know of him and his commands and expectations. Multiple prophets all telling exactly the same story. 2 We would be emotionally mature. No petty arguments or wars. 3 We would have been designed better, no backache, baldness or cancer. 4 The earth would not have a cooling crust that is susceptible to volcanos, tsunamis, and earthquakes. 5 Bacteria and viruses would not exist or we would be immune. 6 The world would be designed in a way that we all flourished. Some people throw food away and have water on tap, some people experience famine and drought. 7 Adults would not believe or tell children ridiculous stories about talking snakes or flying horses, told as literal truths on pain of rejection if you did not believe. I could go on. There is no evidence for God or Gods.

[@soumilsingla3393]

Sikhs condem idol worship but they offer garlands on guru granth sahib. bow infront of it. move chawar of it. even cremate old books. then how can they not b idolatry.?

[@sumeetarora1]

+sher veerey galiya na kaddo let them learn abt sikhi let them respect the purest religion

[@Gyanmantra4u]

singla gururanth sahib is religious book . which must b respected at any cost . bowing means we always obey wat is written in this religious book if i dnt obey but bow my head then it may b consider idoltry but if i understand n obey wat is written in it then it cannot b considerd as idoltry

[@ranarauf8636]

[@randhawaz1]

arab da ghulam!!

[@vjfive7850]

every one knows ravan had ten heads and Sikh religion had ten gurus.gurus of Sikh religion were reincarnation of ravan.they themselves were full of hate ,ignorance,voilence and this is what they preached.sikh gurus children rejected their fathers as guru as they new the truth.sikh gurus consider ravan god and call him akal purkh to conceal ravan identity.when ravan exhausted his powere that time ask gobind singh to put all hate ignorance in one book and told gobnd singh to declare this book living guru as ravan philosophy will be on earth iin shape of granth shiab.true GOD powers can never finish and he can continue to send his gurus but not ravan.you know the truth stop following gurus and the book

[@diamondtek380]

Lying bastard! The Guru's taught peace, love and helping one another and recognising everyone as being part of one human race.

[@malmalhi007]

what a load of twisted fuck..!!1!!

[@sher3597]

this comment is why hindus are so hated

[@randhawaz1]

You should know that Ravan is a hero for the Tamil and Sri Lankan People!! Ten heads means the ten qualities of the powerful human, no ordinary human ever had. Not even ur Rama was even close to the powers of Ravan. He was given powers from Shiva. Ravan was betrayed by his own brother that got him killed or else Ravan was powerful king Rama could not even touch him. It is you hindus that make him a villain, when u should know that it was Laxman that cut the nose of Ravan's sister. Which made Ravan furious, which any brother will be furious at the person who did sth like that to their sister. He took away Sita but he never raped her or even did any wrong to her but enclosed her in the garden. Taking someone's wife was a lesson to Rama and laxman for doing wrong to his sister.
