The first Sri Guru Granth Sahib Conference was held in September 2012 and sponsored by the Chardi Kalaa Foundation and the Sikh Gurdwara San Jose in celebration of the Prakash Diwas of our holy scripture Sri Guru Granth Sahib at Sri Harmandir Sahib Amritsar in 1604 AD.
It was very well attended and the feedback was very positive. The Sikh Review published a special issue in August featuring the papers from the conference. Video recordings of the presentations as well as the text of the papers delivered there are available on the Chardi Kalaa Foundation web site.
