Today, Sikhi&rsquo;s approximately twenty-five to thirty million adherents can be found all over the globe, making it one of the six major religions of the world. Sikhi encompasses a number of religious, social, economic and political&nbsp;institutions, most of which were established and nurtured by Guru Nanak and his nine&nbsp;successors, known as Sikh Gurus.&nbsp;For over five hundred years, Sikhs in the Panjab and all over the world have engaged with their scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib, through the devotional practices of exegesis, singing,&nbsp;recitation, memorization and calligraphy.&nbsp;This course examines the Sikh scripture from a doctrinal and historical perspective by providing&nbsp;an overview of Sikh teachings as well as the historical context within which the scripture evolved&nbsp;and became canonized. It also examines the musical and aesthetic dimensions of the Sikh&nbsp;scripture, as well as ways in which the voluminous text has provided Sikhs with a social, ethical,&nbsp;spiritual and political message to help them respond to and shape the world around them.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Price: FREE to audit!<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-light-gray-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edx.org\/course\/sikhism-through-its-scriptures-2\">View Class<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Sikhism Through Its Scriptures through edX, a platform for education founded by Harvard and MIT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"background-color:#496d89\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edx.org\/course\/sikhism-through-its-scriptures-2\">Sikhism Through Its Scriptures<strong> &#8211; <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Sikhi, commonly known as Sikhism, is a monotheistic religious tradition that was founded by&nbsp;Guru Nanak in late fifteenth-century Panjab in South Asia.
