The appendices contain the thought-content of the Guru in his two major poems Japji and Asa ki Var.

The birth of Nanak in 1469 in the little village of Talwandi near Lahore, however, came as a miracle. The deteriorating Indian society has now found a redeemer. Nanak grew up in the midst of this orthodox society, more as a victim than as an observer and questioned its merits to the highest source. Intense and spiritually-driven even as a school boy, Nanak emerged as the Guru to lead the existing wayward thought to believe in one God and to embrace a more practical approach to living through his simple philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHailed as one of the greatest spiritual leaders of the mankind, Guru Nanak’s message shook all corners of India and beyond, and resulted in the formation of India’s youngest religion, Sikhism. What is most inspiring about Nanak’s teaching is the timelessness of his philosophy that is as relevant today as it was more than five hundred years ago. This is because of its uncomplicated nature which disentangles the path to a fulfilled life. Nanak’s deep insights on life carry seeds of solution to many issues faced by humanity as a whole. This book is an earnest attempt to celebrate his thoughts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo make this introduction more valuable to its readers, an English rendition of the entire Japuji (the morning prayer of the Sikhs that presents Nanak’s vision of God and his cosmic ideas) along with its original Punjabi text and Devanagari transliteration, has also been added.

Sikhism grew out of the basic compassion of Hinduism and the essential brotherhood of Islam.  But it incurred the wrath of both Hindus and Muslims.  Because it rejected intolerance of other faiths, as also the caste system and idol worship.  It insisted on treating all people as equal, and enjoined complete equality between men and women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatwant Singh tells the stirring story of how a movement of peace transformed itself, of necessity, into a community which placed military values alongside spiritual, the Sikh soldier becoming the envy of every nation's army.

How Guru Gobind Singh's inspiring leadership led to a succession of spectacular and daring conquests after him, which sowed the seeds of a Sikh State.

The Introduction is a perceptive study and an exposition of the basic tenets of Sikhism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuru Nanak's primary object was to drive his message home to common folk, who had for centuries been nursed and saturated in the traditional Indian idiom and symbols.  He has therefore had to invariably draw heavily on its past folk and literary heritage.  This precludes examination of his compositions and individual verses in isolation.  Scrupulous care has hence been taken to interpret Japu Ji in close conformity with the broader frame-work of his philosophy.  Attempt has also been made to bring out the true spirit of his utterances and yet adhere as close to the original text as possible.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Japu Ji’ goads the seeker on to a state of ‘willing surrender to the Divine will’.  Invoking the grace of the Almighty, it lays stress on a subjugation and sublimation of man’s morbid ‘ego’, and on persistent endeavor of on individual soul to ‘tear apart’ the veil of ‘untruth’.  Through total surrender to the Master’s will and in loving devotion to his Master, man seeks an ever closer proximity to the Divine Soul, which is man’s primal home and his final destination.

This work also has a detailed discussion on the Sikh doctrines, and is a unique achievement of Sikh art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe India Office Library has a manuscript, accession number B-40.  The ‘Janamasakhi’ has been called after the number.  It is the oldest extant manuscript of the Panjabi language.  The year of its writing is 1733 A.D. luckily the ‘Janamsakhi’ manuscript has 57 paintings.  They constitute a unique achievement of Sikh art.  Sikh paintings are called  Sikh because they were created for the Sikh patrons.  B-40 paintings are doubly Sikh.  They were not only painted by a Sikh for the Sikhs but also embody the basic doctrines of Sikhism.  No other group of paintings has been found to fulfill an ideological function so far.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the eminent scholars have examined, translated and edited the ‘B-40 Janamsakhi’ without paying enough attention to the extraordinary merit of its paintings.  In fact the artistic worth of  the paintings is at par with the literary merit of the ‘Janamsakhi’.  There were two reasons which made their neglect obligatory.  A formal, aesthetic understanding of the \u003cbr\u003e‘janamsakhi’ genre was yet to be arrived at.  The scholars had no inkling of the Sikh aesthetics, created and technically perfected by Guru Nanak to be strictly adhered to by the Gurus and the orthodox Sikh writers of ‘Janamsakhi’ and ‘Gurbilas’ literature.  That is why these paintings were supposed to be poor specimens of one school of art or the other.  Nothing could be farther from truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are five cardinal points of Sikh aesthetics.  A number of things are naturally beautiful.  But natural beauty is not enough.  Man can suffer a loss of sense of beauty because of spiritual heedlessness.  The B-40 paintings eminently uphold the Sikh aesthetics to re-inforce the janamsakhi intentions. The purpose and function of the Janamsakhi is to establish the spiritual sovereignty of Guru Nanak according to scripture and tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Guru Baba Nanak \/ Guru Nanak Dev University \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776743911593,"sku":"8733","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/8733_7ddf739e-4ff3-4dac-a93a-503e95a5f4b9.jpg?v=1625530223"},{"product_id":"9749-guru-nanak-a-homage","title":"Guru Nanak - A Homage","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: K R Srinivasa Iyengar\u003cbr\u003eEditor: K R Srinivasa Iyengar\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Sahitya Akademi\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1973\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 304\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8172016328\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is a collection of a large number of learned essays all inspired by the life and work and enduring influence of Guru Nanak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNanak, whom Tagore called ‘Teacher of Mankind’ had, according to the Poet, a concept of religion not restricted by the limits of unconventional deity-worshiping restrained within the narrow idea and dead habit of a particular caste or country, which prevents universal man to find any identification. Nanak’s mind crossed the barriers of such narrow puranic religious dogmas and he laid down his life in propagating the massage of deliverance among mankind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1969,  the whole country celebrated the quincentenary of birth of this Great Teacher. As a part of these celebrations, Sahitya Akademi, in consultation with the Guru Nanak Foundation organized a National and four Regional Seminars on Guru Nanak’s Teachings. It was nothing odd for the Government of a Secular State asking a National Academy of Letters to organize seminars on a person who was not only a religious teacher but an inspired poet,-indeed the fountainhead of Punjabi poetic tradition. Guru Nanak’s poetry, at its mystical sublime, become bani, a prayer, a means of grace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgain the seminars were organized at a time when disintegrating trends were at its height in the country.

The contribution of Guru Arjan in this regard is immense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA very significant issue in the history of religions has always been the manner in which a spiritual preceptor articulates a new religious vision and is in turn shaped over the years by pre-existing mythic ideals, which are embedded in the prevailing religious culture. The present booklet is also an attempt to study emergence of the Sikh faith in an otherwise oppressed and etherized Indian society and discuss the circumstances in which Guru Arjan appeared on the scene, analyse the challenges he had to face during his lifetime, highlight his contribution in the transformation of society, and the suffering he had to undergo and the ultimate sacrifice he had to make. In the process, the book refers briefly to the contemporary historical milieu, the flaws the Guru found in the prevailing socio-religious situation, his vision at rectifying or removing these flaws so as to transform this world into Sach Khandor the realm of truth, and the price he had to pay for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

The lectures supplement one another, and put together they present a fairly comprehensive view of Sikhism  and of the Sikh society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of the series , essentially formulates and presents a thesis.  The idea central to Bhai Jodh Singh lectures is that Guru Nanak brought a new inspiration to the Indian religious thought so as to make it more constructive and productive for life.  He had contemplated upon the concepts and speculations of various systems, rejected some of them and reinterpreted and recharged some others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB L Kapur's thesis is that Guru Nanak Dev rediscovered and proclaimed the ancient Vedic or Sanatanist dharma and restored to it, its pristine purity, retrieving it from the superficial \"rituals of orthodox form that Hinduism felt compelled by the instinct of self-preservation to assume after it was shaken to its very roots by the Semitic fanaticism\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSardar Balwant Singh Anand has taken note of the pronouncement of the Western Indologists that the Indian philosophical and religious thought did not pay heed to the ethical aspect of life.  He puts forward the thesis that, in spite of his mystic fervor, Guru Nanak gave a very high place to ethics in the realization of spiritual life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Niharranjan Ray stressed the point that Guru Nanak and his successor Gurus aimed at creating a casteless society as did Buddhism, the Siddhas and some of the earlier bhaktas.  But since they could not give a new economic or productive system, the castes remained.

Santokh Singh is regarded the greatest Sikh poet whose popularity rests on his voluminous tomes on Sikh Gurus. Because of his believed orthodoxy, the Singh Sabha wished Max Arthur Macauliffe to consult Guru Pratap Suraj for his history of the Gurus. The popularity of Santokh Singh's works can be estimated from the fact that almost all the modern historians of the Sikhs have based their account of the Gurus more or less on his works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis evidence plays a significant role in knowing the poet's primary concern.

His verses, in the main are concerned with, what is called, the spiritual knowledge of the matter or of the material world. Written with a transcendental poise, in an infinite silence of self-liberation and in inner withdrawal of mystic experience and contains glimpses into deep truths of spiritual world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe intense content of his verses is concerned with the emancipation of the individual from the bondage of ignorance and limitations.” We know Bani is not a simple poetry it is divine revelation inspired by the realization of God. Poetry is just the medium for the expression of that realization of the Infinite. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the second lecture, he has opined on the basic concepts in Guru Tegh Bahadur’s bani as Vairage, Bhagati, Gian, impermanence, suffering, maya, desire, ego, trishna and jiwan-mukti. He opines, “vairag or dispassion is the prominent theme of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s compositions. Vairag is the state of mind, where an individual by controlling his passion and desires, becomes indifferent to the fleeting pleasures of the senses and develops in him an urge to ascend the spiritual ladder by constantly fixing his eyes on the Absolute.” Therefore, the concept of Vairag is quite unique from the Vairag found in other religious traditions of India. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Kohili further says, “Bhagati and Gian have got no separate entity and in Vairag, they complement and harmonize each other.” The Process of spiritual attainment propounded by Guru Tegh Bahadur, according to the scholar, is “Simran, or Samran, the meditation on the virtuous attributes of the Lord and the laudation of love of Him, self-purification, through self-discipline and prayer under the guidance of the Guru or the Master are the sure guides towards spiritual ascension. Naam in the Bani of Guru Tegh Bahadur signifies that power of the Absolute God which prevails in His Creation.” Therefore, we can see that the finite creation is from the Infinite and the Infinite prevails in the finite creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

The study of Gurbani originates from kind of mental and emotional stirrings. The very fact that the tenth Guru set up a centre taxal for the study of the meaning of Gurbani at Talwandi Sabo, Damdama Sahib, makes it obvious that there has to be a way to understand the meaning of Gurbani.

These, it seems, almost invarialy consist or dreary prose dressed up as flowery poetry.  But I was wrong.  I was very wrong.  Baba Nanak, for from being cast in the sytle which one normally associates with the poetry, of English translations of the Adi granth, in in fact an excellent piece of work.  The works that it paraphrases are some of the finest of Guru Nanak's workls, set in the context of his life story and supported by passages from the Janam-sakhis, Japuji naturally appears, as do portions of Siri Ragu, and the whole of Barahaha, and Siddh Gost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe style in which the life and travels of Baba Nanak is recoreded makes exceedingly pleasant reading and those who wish to have the story well told as simple but effective English poetry will find Gill's work a delight.\u003cbr\u003e- W H Mcleod, Intyernational Journal of Punjab Studies, Oxford, 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI do not know how Harjeet Singh Gill, Emeritus Profesor of Semioties, Jawaharlal Nehru University, was spurred into song when he elected to write in verse from the story of Guru Nanak, and of his divine hymns in a capsuled, simple but effective style.  Nothing, as far as I know, in Gill's past suggested such a return of the native to the faith of his ancestors, for in in his long academic career, he remained involved in the study of semiotics and signification under the tutelage of his French mento4s and theorists of linguistics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhatever the reason, this volvume underscores the nature of his inner transformation - from a logician and sceptic to a seeker after truth, with Baba Nanak as his light and guidng star.  I could stretch the argument and see how the sceince of languages, which invests all human thoughtr and its highest rewaches, possibly led Giull to apply his earned insights to the Sikh scriptures.. Gill's rendering, thus is simple, direct and nearer to fine prose.

The later are in Braj Bhasha and therefore a bit difficult to comprehend both on the literary as well as doctrinal level. The Varan is his basic composition which carries in it the message of Gurbani. He has taken up various topics of Gurbani in his works such as god, Man, Nature, Gurmukh, Manmukh, Nadar, the Sikh way of Life, Practical aspect of Gurbani, the human responsibility towards other fellow beings and the prominent contemporary Sikhs of the different Gurus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe discusses about the Vedic philosophy, Upanishdic doctrine and six systems of Indian Philosophy but he by alluding these texts, projects the philosophy of the Sikh Gurus.

He endeavours hard to put forth and project the Sikh doctrine in the Indian religious tradition to make it explicit that the message enshrined in Sri Guru Granth Sahib is unique and thus infallible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus there was the dire need of its transmission to the people across the country.

The foreigner referred to is Qazi Nur Mohammad who wrote (AD 1765) an account of the seventh invasion of Ahmad Shah Durrani, of which event he was an eye witness as a member of the invader's camp-following. In this manuscript which was printed for the first time in 1939, the writer makes many interesting references to the Sikhs, whom his master had to encounter during this campaign more frequently than was strictly to his liking.  The language of this manuscript is that of an enemy of the Sikhs and Sikhism and the quotation under reference said that: \"the Sikhs' religion and its practices originate from the teachings of Nanak, who founded their new religion.  Gobind Singh, who was a successor of Nanak, conferred upon them the title of 'Singh' and thus the Sikhs became the Singhs, the Lions.  These dogs are not Hindus by religion or persuasion.  These evil-doers have a way of life entirely different\".  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present work is the outcome of long scholarly discussions spanning over a year between the author and  Sardari Lal Parsara, the newly appointed Principal of the Government School of Arts at Simla..\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditor's Note\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the First Edition\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to the First\u003cbr\u003eEdition\u003cbr\u003eKey to Transliteration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I\u003cbr\u003eThe Baisakhi of Guru Gobind Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II\u003cbr\u003eHow a 'Sikh' is knighted a 'Singh'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III\u003cbr\u003eThe Blessed Fort of the Uncut Hair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV\u003cbr\u003eThou Shalt not Smoke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER V\u003cbr\u003eFive K's \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VI\u003cbr\u003eThe Archetypal Form of Guru Gobind Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VII\u003cbr\u003eThe Guru Granth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VIII\u003cbr\u003eParthenogenesis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IX\u003cbr\u003eA Sikh and A Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER X\u003cbr\u003eThe Church and the State\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XI\u003cbr\u003eThe Sikh Raj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XII\u003cbr\u003eThe Hindu Caste and Sikhism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XIII\u003cbr\u003eArdas or the Sikh congregational Prayer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eSubject Index\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Kapur Singh \/ Guru Nanak Dev University \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40785854791849,"sku":"8695","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/8695.jpg?v=1625530203"},{"product_id":"15558-a-historian-s-approach-to-guru-gobind-singh","title":"A Historian’s Approach to Guru Gobind Singh","description":"\u003cb\u003e Shipping Note: This item usually arrives at your doorstep in 10-15 days\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Surjit Singh Gandhi\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Singh Brothers\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2004\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 533\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8172053061\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is a comprehensive and analytical study of the life of Guru Govind Singh, the tenth Guru of the Sikhs. It is an objective account of his response to the contemporary spiritual, political, social and economic conditions, his contribution to metaphysics, social engineering and polity, his attitude towards Muslims as well as Hindu orthodoxy, his floating of the Order of Khalsa, a new model of man as well as of society, his providing of fresh insights and fresh stimuli to make the people dynamic, forward-looking and transcendental in their approach and out-look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author peruses the available primary sources and earnestly collects the facts, screens traditions, legends and myths regarding Guru’s life. He goes through the mythic poetic works of the contemporaries, especially those contained in Dasam Granth. His approach is that facts unfold the outer life while myths and legends reveal the state of consciousness. Therefore, to him, both are useful while constructing history, though he takes care that non-historical and imaginary facts do not affect his conclusions. Hence, the author successfully attempts to treat all the facts pertaining to the life of the Guru, as they took place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIMPRIMIS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeritage\u003cbr\u003eEarly Life in Bihar\u003cbr\u003eAt Anandpur\u003cbr\u003ePaonta Period\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Bhangani\u003cbr\u003eReturn to Anandpur 1688\u003cbr\u003eEmergence of the Khalsa\u003cbr\u003eAlleged Worship of Goddess Durga\u003cbr\u003eOnslaught of Hindu conservatism and Islamic Imperialism\u003cbr\u003eThe Guru’s Escape Towards Malwa\u003cbr\u003eDamdama Period\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;From Damdama to Agra\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;From Agra to Nanded\u003cbr\u003eCulmination and Beginning\u003cbr\u003eA Multidimensional Personality\u003cbr\u003eGuru Govind Singh’s Literary Activities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART - II - GURU GOBIND SINGH’S VISION OF METAPHYSICS, POLITY AND SOCIAL IDEALS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGod, Universe and Man\u003cbr\u003eSikh Polity\u003cbr\u003eSikh Social Ideals\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003eAppendices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Surjit Singh Gandhi \/ Singh Brothers \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40789106196649,"sku":"15558","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/15558.jpg?v=1625568559"},{"product_id":"22825-the-philosophical-perspective-on-sikh-view-of-martyrdom","title":"The Philosophical Perspective On Sikh View Of Martyrdom","description":"\u003cb\u003e Shipping Note: This item usually arrives at your doorstep in 10-15 days\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Nirbhai Singh\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Singh Brothers\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2007\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 411\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8172053886\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book, The Philosophical Perspective on Sikh View of Martydom is the first Philosophical interpretation of the concept of martyrdom based on the primary sacred scriptures of the Sikhs and authenticated from the supreme sacrifices of the Gurus and the Sikh martyrs. The concept is traced from the Greek and the Islamic traditions and developed its sui generic character. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cultural interpretation of the Sikh concept of martyrdom is the fruit of the author’s creative and original reflections. The book will cleanse dross of misunderstandings of the concept. It is an analytical interpretation in the coeval context. It is an endeavour to churn out the hidden meanings of the ciphers, which are locked up in The Guru Granth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObjectives, critical and comprehensive tools of interpretation are used for understanding the philosophical import of Sikhism. It resuscitates the revealed illuminations of the Gurus and the Bhakats. The ecstasies of the contributors are reinterpreted within the context of The Gurus Granth in the modern philosophical terms. It is a synthesis of medievalism and the present without digressing from the spirit of the Sikh faith. The interpretations are in conformity with the medieval and the coeval cultural contexts. No doubt, the methodology has the impact of the Western critical and hermeneutical techniques, but the paradigm of the interpretations is cast in the dynamic philosophical model of Sikhism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt ensconces eternity and temporality, and restores historicity of human action and societal realities which were lost in the medieval religious dogmas and bigotry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ideal man of the Sikh faith, the martyr (marjivada), is an embodiment of the Akalpurakh. The khalsa of Guru Gobind Singh is always ready to stake his life for eradicating evil in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey to Transliteration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
