THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR
By Tony Cook
INDIANA---Thousands of Sikhs gathered Sunday at an Indianapolis temple to celebrate the creation of their holy scripture with food, music and teachings. Manjit Singh, president of the Sikh temple on the city’s Far Westside that hosted the event, estimated that about 5,000 people attended throughout the day. Indianapolis is home to a growing Sikh community, with four temples in the area. The event Sunday celebrated the creation of the Guru Granth Sahib, or Sikh holy book, in the 1600s. It is a compilation of writings by the religion’s 10 gurus, or teachers, who lived from 1469 to 1708. The scripture itself is regarded as the final and living guru.[link]
