Fraser; Introduction by S. Radhakrishnan; Foreword by Arnold Toynbee.  ‘This translation is the first that has made the Adi Granth accessible, in more than short extracts, to the English-speaking public. … The Adi Granth is remarkable for several reasons.  Of all known religious scriptures, this book is the most highly venerated.  It means more to Sikhs than even the Qur’an means to Muslims, the Bible to Christians, and the Torah to Jews.  The Adi Granth is the Sikhs’ perpetual guru (spiritual guide).  It was formally invested with this function by the last in the series of the human gurus that began with the founder of the Sikh religion, Nanak.’ (from Foreword)
