Sikh Art and Religion in the Wake of the August Massacre in Wisconsin

Posted on 02:01 by john mical
EXAMINER
By Mary Osbourne
Details from "Master and Disciple"
CANADA---Images by Sikh artist Kanwar Singh Dhillon reflect the Sikhs’ desire to find union with God. A portrait of a guru, walking with staff in hand across India, is reminiscent of Moses walking the desert in search of the Promised Land. While the pursuit of truth is essential to the Sikh, the Sikh faith does not promise that followers will automatically enter heaven or paradise. Rather God welcomes those who carry out righteous actions, live prayerful lives and do good deeds. [link]
