Book Title: The Yogic Philosophy of Sri Guru Granth Sahib: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Health | Spiritual Health Guide | AGPH Books

Validation and Reliability of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Yoga Concept and Scale Development for Health and Wellness of Students and Adults presents a systematic scholarly investigation into the yogic teachings found within Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and their potential relevance to contemporary health and wellness. The book seeks to scientifically interpret, validate, and quantify the yoga-related concepts embedded in the Sikh sacred scripture through the development of a reliable and structured assessment scale for students and adults.

The study brings together the philosophical foundations of yoga, spiritual teachings, and modern scientific research methodology to examine dimensions related to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Drawing upon an extensive review of national and international research literature, doctoral theses, academic conferences, and authoritative texts, the work identifies existing research gaps and establishes a methodological framework for the scientific study of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s yoga concepts.

A key contribution of the book is the systematic development and validation of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Yoga Scale. Beginning with an initial pool of 35 items, the scale is refined through statistical analysis to a final 30-item instrument comprising six major constructs. Techniques including dimension reduction and the Generalized Linear Model are employed using SPSS to examine the reliability, validity, and applicability of the scale among students and adults.

The book also provides a comparative discussion of yoga as presented in Patanjali Yoga Sutras and Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, highlighting the significance of concepts such as yama, niyama, meditation, self-discipline, mindful living, and the regulation of ego in everyday life. By connecting traditional Indian philosophical thought with contemporary empirical research, the study offers a meaningful framework for understanding spirituality and yogic principles within modern health and wellness research.

Structured into seven chapters, the book covers the conceptual background, review of literature, research methodology, statistical findings, discussion, limitations and future research possibilities, and concluding observations. With its interdisciplinary approach, the work is intended to serve researchers, scholars, students, yoga and wellness practitioners, academicians, and readers interested in Sikh studies, Indian philosophy, spirituality, psychology, and evidence-based approaches to holistic well-being.

Overall, this book provides a significant academic contribution toward the scientific study of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s teachings and demonstrates how traditional yogic and spiritual concepts can be examined through systematic scale development and empirical research.
