Week 4 · The Gurus · Day 13
Guru Arjan Dev Ji & the Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Guru Arjan Dev Ji collected the Gurus’ and many saints’ words into one book — what would become Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji — and built Sri Harmandir Sahib with doors on all four sides, open to everyone.

Talk together
Ask: "Why is it special that the Guru Granth Sahib has words from many different people in it?"
Younger kids: draw the Golden Temple. Older kids: learn what an 'Ang' (page) is.
