	Indiainfo.com -> News -> Indians Abroad -> Documentary on Sikh holy book released in Canada
		The documentary explains through actual recitation of hymns in gurdwaras (Sikh temples) in Canada, in India and even from the Nankana Saheb in Lahore, the history of the Guru Granth Sahib, including how and when this holy book commenced and how and when it was completed.
		Through simple words and miniature paintings and the holy book shown invariably open, the documentary answers basic questions as to what is Sikhism, when and how it came into being and its relationship with Hinduism and Islam.
		Hindu saints and Muslim soofis, who didn't subscribe to Sikh religion, contributed to this holy book signifying their faith in one God, narrator Gerry Birt said.

	Sri Guru Granth Sahib
		The division of the Granth according to the different ragas, and within the ragas, the sequence of Chaupadas, Dupadas, etc., and how within these divisions the banis of the six Gurus are followed by the Hindu and Muslim saints is well explained.
		Volume one of the four volume translation of Guru Granth Sahib was sent to the Institute of Sikh Studies by airmail.

	Bhajan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shabads (“Hymns”) of the Sikh Scriptures are primarily arranged in Chapters, which are names of musical Ragas (“ musical theme”).

	THE SPEAKING TREE<BR>Eleventh & Eternal Guru Granth Sahib- The Times of India
		This intricate division of the Adi Granth according to ragas, the metre of the poem, the author of the poem and its ghar in which the raga is to be sung, has a fascinating raga-mala towards the end of the Holy Text, an index of musical measures.
		Even as one pays homage to Guru Granth Sahib, on the 400th anniversary of its being established as the Holy Book and as the eternal Guru of the Sikh faith, one is struck by the rich literary underpinnings of this compilation and the systematic manner in which each part has been set to music.
		Meticulously compiled and arranged into 5,894 hymns, the Adi Granth is set equally meticulously to 31 ragas of the classical music tradition, a "powerful appeal to the heart as much as the mind", as writer Pearl Buck once pointed out.

	The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Punjab
		Sonorous notes of sitar, vigorous beat of tabla, sheer melody of santoor, mellifluous lilt of sarod, rich inflection of ragas rendered in unique styles — it was a complete musical fare at the third and concluding night of the 129th Shree Baba Harballabh Sangeet Sammelan organised at Devi Talab Mandir here yesterday.

	Sikh Musicology - Sri Guru Granth Sahib and Hymns of the Human Spirit
		IT is with this purport in view that the author of this book, for the first time, has endeavored to highlight the importance of Shabad Kirtan in accordance with the established tradition of Sikh musicology by composing and singing the 31 Ragas and 31 Raaga-forms from Shri Guru Granth Sahib.
		In Sikh Musicology, the pivotal importance of the Shabad lies in its being elevated to the status of the Guru.
		In Sikhism, a specific tradition of Shabad Kirtan has been prescribed with the sole mission of disseminating the holy message of Shri 'Guru Granth Sahib.' We can define this music, that flows in tune with the Gurmat or the ideology of the Sikh Gurus, as Gurmat Sangeet or Musicology of Sikh Music.
