Question

Guru Granth Sahib is also called _____.

• A. Padmavat
• B. Bijak
• C. Adi Granth
• D. Quran

Answer 1

The correct option is C Adi Granth

The Guru Granth Sahib, also called Adi Granth, is the holy book Sikhism. It contains prayers, hymns, and songs of Sikh religion. Sikhs believe the Guru Granth Sahib to be a living Guru, hence the Guru Granth Sahib has its own place also commonly known as 'Sach Khand' (the pure Heaven).

The name of the book is made up of three words. The first word is Guru, and a Guru in the Sanskrit language means a teacher. Granth is a word of Hindi, and this means a book. The third word Sahib is a word of Urdu language and it means master. Thus, the Guru Granth Sahib means a Master Book by the Teacher.
