ABSTRACT

This article explores the ideological foundations in the formation of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). It begins with the examination of the process of institutionalization from the Kartarpur period to modern times, focusing on the centrality of sacred space in Sikh corporate life. The overall structure, organization, and the underlying arguments of this essay revolve around the evolution of the doctrine of Guru-Panth, referring to two meanings: one, ‘the Panth of the Guru,’ refers to the Sikh community; the other, ‘the Panth as the Guru,’ referring to the Guru-Panth doctrine, which developed from the earlier idea that the Guru is mystically present in the congregation (saṅgat).

摘要

本文探讨了 Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak 委员会 (SGPC) 和 Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) 形成的意识形态基础。它首先考察了从 Kartarpur 时期到现代的制度化过程，重点关注锡克教企业生活中神圣空间的中心地位。本文的整体结构、组织和基本论点围绕着 Guru-Panth 学说的演变，涉及两个含义：一，“Guru 的 Panth”，指的是锡克教社区；另一种是“Panth as the Guru”，指的是 Guru-Panth 学说，它是从早期的想法发展而来的，即古鲁神秘地出现在会众中 (saṅgat)。
