Guru Nanak Dev - Dr Ss Bhatti - Bog

"The book being FOREWORD-ed is written by SS Bhatti, a master of writing and a scholarly expert, with a novel approach to the study and understanding of life and its innumerable expressions across the globe. In the following book, the author has illustrated many facets of his expertise in the field of religion, history, and art. He renders Guru Nanak's Jap stanzas in his own poetry; he covers several dimensions of divinity; he writes a section on the vocabulary employed in the hymns of Guru Nanak. He describes Guru Nanak as a dispenser of love and light. He covers even the paintings of Guru Nanak; the paintings were done by the devotees years after Guru Nanak left for the heavenly abode. Bhatti has added one art-work done by him that expresses in apt visual metaphors the divine exhortation of Guru Nanak: "Naam, Daan, Isnaan", and is supported by a poem published long ago in The Tribune, a leading English newspaper of north-western India. All this makes the scope of the book very vast, holistic and refreshing ... The readers of the book may be from many disciplines and interests besides the Sikhs and the Mureeds. However, I feel that they will find the author's profound insights and holistic interpretations enriching as well as illuminating. To my reckoning, this book should find pride of place in all public and private libraries internationally." From the Foreword by (Bhai) Harbans Lal, Ph.D.; D. Lit (Hons) based in America
