Book Description
This book is a collection of saakhis about the life of Guru Nanak- the wise and compassionate founder of Sikhism. The narratives, built on oral recounts, underscore the wisdom of a pure gentle soul with a world-view that is rational. Guru Nanak was a seeker of the Ultimate Truth. The Guru believed in equality and in respecting the dignity of all human beings - irrespective of caste, class, color, religion or gender.
'The Guru: Guru Nanak's Saakhis' is a collection of 500-year-old anecdotes about: an inquisitive child who questioned the world around him; - a perceptive teenager who thought rationally in an irrational world; - an informed youngster who looked for the logic behind the extant norms and mores; a wise and - empathetic human being who tried to obliterate prejudices that were deep-rooted in society-and a gentle, serene and pure soul who spread harmony, peace and compassion.
When I read the manuscript of 'The Guru: Guru Nanak's Saakhis. I was truly fascinated. This collection of short stories about Guru Nanak Dev provide an insight into the life and teachings of a wise, rational and compassionate spiritual leader who walked this earth five centuries ago. He was a reformer and his teachings were radical and extremely relevant in the stratified society of his times. They are just as relevant today in a world that continues to have much the same issues - a world that is at war with itself.
Rajni Sekhri Sibal's book "The Guru: Guru Nanak's Saakhis is a beautiful compilation of some of the most fascinating and inspirational stories I have read. The book stores a wealth of knowledge that is conveyed to the reader in a subtle and appealing manner.
