This issue of The Sikh Review explores the rich tapestry of Sikh theology, history, and contemporary identity. Scholarly articles examine the foundational Mool Mantar, the spiritual concept of “Darshan” as a peak experience, and the necessity of overcoming the ego (Haumai) to achieve a purpose-driven life. Historical narratives recount the liberation of 52 kings by Guru Hargobind Sahib and provide detailed biographies of revered saints like Bhagat Namdev and Bhagat Beni. The text also addresses modern challenges, such as the erosion of traditional Sikh identity and the pressures surrounding the maintenance of unshorn hair. Additionally, the journal highlights diverse achievements, ranging from pioneering Sikh scientists and astronauts to recent milestones in military inclusivity. Detailed medical advice on hepatitis and reflections on significant pilgrimages round out this comprehensive look at the faith’s enduring legacy and its place in the modern world.
