Interconnected existence

Taking a fresh look at the formation of the Sikh heritage and way of life, this 216-page volume will help learners to build their basic knowledge, make connections, explore values and engage in critical self-reflection.  On each spread, text and artwork combine with creative translations of Sikh scriptural teachings to shed light on the book’s wider relevance to exploring our shared humanity, interconnected existence and collective responsibilities towards the planet.

‘This is a beautiful book. It enables the reader to get to the spiritual heart of Sikhi - and teachers to get inside the tradition rather than concentrating on external features. The art work is wonderful. A book to treasure.’
Dr Geoff Teece
Lecturer in Education, Teacher in Secondary RE PGCE, University of Exeter
