Writers of the Guru Granth Sahib
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Guru Granth Sahib (Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ; [ɡʊɾuː ɡɾəntʰᵊ saːhɪbᵊ]), is the central religious text of Sikhism, considered by Sikhs to be the final sovereign Guru of the religion.[1] It contains 1430 Angs (limbs, referring to pages of the scripture[2]), containing 5,894[3][4][5] hymns of 36 saint mystics which includes Sikh gurus (6 gurus, possibly as many as 7 or 8[6][7][8][9]), Bhagats (15 bhagats), Bhatts (11 bhatts) and Gursikhs (4 gursikhs).[10] It is notable among foundational religious scriptures for including hymns from writers of other religions, namely Hindus and Muslims. It also contains teachings of the Sikh gurus themselves.
