Best Answer

Followers of Sikhism regard the "Guru Granth Sahib" (Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ) or "Adi Granth" as their religious text. It is the final and eternal guru of the Sikhs, made during the period of Sikh gurus, from 1469 to 1708. It is a collection of hymns describing the qualities of God and why one should meditate on God's name.
