Sukhmani (The Pearl of Happiness) is a popular Sikh text by Guru
Arjan, which inculcates the Sikh religious ethos and philosophical
perspective on wellbeing and happiness. The book features a new
translation of this celebrated Sikh text and provides the first
in-depth analysis of it. The Sikh View on Happiness begins with an
overview of the nature of suffering and the attainment of happiness
in Indian religions. This provides the foundation for the
examination of the historical, social, and religious context of the
Sukhmani and its contribution to the development of the Sikh
tradition. In addition to exploring the spiritual teachings of the
Sukhmani, Nayar and Sandhu draw upon the Sikh understanding of the
mind, illness, and wellbeing to both introduce key Sikh
psychological concepts and illustrate the practical application of
traditional healing practices in the contemporary context. In doing
so, they highlight the overlap of the teachings in the Sukhmani
with concepts and themes found in Western psychotherapy, such as
mindfulness, meaningful living, and resilience.
