Golden Temple (part 2 explorer)

Amristar India (if interested see part 1 )

The Golden Temple It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful place I have ever visited.

The Sikhism is a very tolerant monotheistic religion where the voluntary services of the devotees are very important as well as the inter-faith dialogue and the support for the poor and weak, castes are not recognized.

The shrines is open to all man and women,no distinction of faith.

Sick religion has a sacred book named Sri Guru Granth Sahib written by the tenth guru of Sikhism and has 1430 pages that are “ poetically rendered and set to a rhythmic ancient north Indian classical form of music.” More then 100.000 pilgrim visit daily the temple

 

It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the original name is Sri Harmandir Sahib ("abode of God") or Darbar Sahib ("exalted holy court") is the holiest shrines for the Sikh believers. It is located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India, “In the early 1980s, the temple became a center of conflict between the Indian government led by Indira Gandhi, some Sikh groups and a militant movement led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale seeking to create a new nation named Khalistan. In 1984, Gandhi sent in the Indian Army as part of Operation Blue Star, leading to deaths of over 1,000 militants, soldiers and civilians, as well as causing much damage to the temple and the destruction of Akal Takht.” (“from Wikipedia”)
