Teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji on environment and the contribution of Sikhism in environmental protection
Authors
Prabhleen Kaur
Abstract
This paper examines the environmental
teachings found in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji (Guru Granth Sahib Ji), the central
scripture of Sikhism, and explores how these teachings have been reflected in
the environmental contributions of the Sikh community across history and in the
present day. The study draws on key concepts from Sikh theology including
Hukam, Seva, and Sarbat da Bhala and connects them to environmental ethics. It
also looks at documented examples of Sikh-led environmental action, such as the
Kali Bein River restoration and the EcoSikh movement. The paper finds that
environmental awareness is not peripheral to Sikh belief but is embedded within
its core scriptural teachings.
