Editing Sikh Scriptures


'''Sikh Scriptures''' refer to the sacred texts that embody the core principles of '''[[Gurmat Ideology]]''' — the spiritual wisdom revealed through the Enlightened ones (Sikh Satgurs/Bhagats/Bhatts). These scriptures preserve the divine teachings, hymns, and philosophical insights of the Sikh Gurus and Bhagats, as well as the historical narratives and spiritual heritage of the '''[[Khalsa Panth]]'''. 

Also, '''Sikh Scriptures''' encompass a wide range of sacred and historical writings that together form the literary foundation of the Sikh Institution. At their core are the primary scriptures — such as the '''[[Sri Guru Granth Sahib]]''' and '''[[Dasam Granth]]''' — which embody the essence of '''Gurmat Ideology''', revealing divine wisdom, spiritual guidance, and the vision of the Khalsa. 

Alongside these, various historical and interpretive texts — including works like '''Sri Gur Sobha''', '''Panth Prakash''', and other chronicles written by traditional scholars, [[Udasis]], [[Nirmalas]], and contemporary historians — preserve the evolving understanding of Sikh history, culture, and spiritual experience. While some of these writings reflect diverse or mixed perspectives, they collectively contribute to the broader tapestry of Sikh literary heritage, illuminating both the revelation of Gurmat and the historical journey of the [[Khalsa]] Panth.
