Adi Granth: Guru Granth Sahib, which is also known as Adi Granth is the principal religious writing of Sikhism. It is respectfully considered by Sikhs as the eternal Guru that contains spiritual wisdom and directions of the Sikh Gurus. Adi Granth was compiled by Guru Arjan Dev, who was the fifth guru in 1604. It has hymns, prayers and writings done by the gurus of sikhs, saints, enlightened beings from other faiths such as Islam and Hinduism. The book is written in Gurmukhi script and divided into sections called Ragas which are based on different musical modes to facilitate spiritual devotion. The Sikhs hold this holy scripture with utmost respect and it remains one of their most important practices including Satsang (congregational worship) and Nam Japna (individual meditation).

Historically, Kshatriya Dharma, rooted in ancient Hindu traditions, primarily refers to the ethical and moral duties of the Kshatriya (warrior) class. In the traditional sense, Kshatriyas were charged with protecting society, enforcing justice, and ensuring law and order were maintained. Nonetheless, there has been a shift in how this class interprets and enacts Kshatriya Dharma in modern times. This change is most notable in the age of Kali Yuga where it is characterized by moral decline and societal challenges.

In this regard we will look at the adaptation of Kshatriya Dharma for today’s world; its relevance beyond battlefields; its role in social welfare; the contributions of warrior women; and the unceasing imprint of this code.

Kshatriya Dharma during Kali Yuga: Adapting Warrior Code to Modern TimesKali Yuga is believed to be a time when societal values are low according to Hindu cosmology. During such times strife prevails, dishonesty reigns supreme and righteousness erodes. For instance, adapting Kshatriya Dharma involves re-looking into traditional warrior values to address current issues.
