The Sikh View on Happiness: Guru Arjan’s Sukhmani

Autor Professor Kamala Elizabeth Nayar, Jaswinder Singh Sandhu
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 oct 2021
Sukhmani(The Pearl of Happiness) is a popular Sikh text by Guru Arjan, which inculcates the Sikh religious ethos and philosophical perspective on wellbeing and happiness. The book features a new translation of this celebrated Sikh text and provides the first in-depth analysis of it.The Sikh View on Happinessbegins with an overview of the nature of suffering and the attainment of happiness in Indian religions. This provides the foundation for the examination of the historical, social, and religious context of theSukhmaniand its contribution to the development of the Sikh tradition. In addition to exploring the spiritual teachings of theSukhmani, Nayar and Sandhu draw upon the Sikh understanding of the mind, illness, and wellbeing to both introduce key Sikh psychological concepts and illustrate the practical application of traditional healing practices in the contemporary context. In doing so, they highlight the overlap of the teachings in theSukhmaniwith concepts and themes found in Western psychotherapy, such as mindfulness, meaningful living, and resilience.
