More appropriately, Guru Granth Sahib, that
is the Book of the Gurus, or the sacred Book which has the status
of the last and final Sikh Prophet. It is the Sikh scripture containing
hymns and revelations of the Sikh Gurus and some others who preceded
the Sikh Gurus or were contemporary with them, prefiguring the glad
tidings of the Spirit which manifested itself in the form of the Sikh
religion. After the passing away of the Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh,
the status of the successor in the line of the Sikh prophets was conferred
on this Sikh Scripture which now invariably occupies the central place
of prominence in all places of Sikh worship.
