Description
Sikhism took birth in the East, in Punjab India five centuries ago. The followers, called Sikhs, have spread all over the world as seekers of new opportunities in life. With them they carried their unique appearance, culture and their unique philosophy.
There are a large number of people who developed keen interest in them and, who are interested in acquainting themselves with the Sikh history and scriptures but have no knowledge of Gurmukhi script and Punjabi language. Therefore, keeping in mind this difficulty of those persons desirous of acquiring knowledge, to reproduce Sikh history blended with Gurbani (divine revelations of the great Gurus) and their ideology, in poetic form. Sikh history, partly in prose and partly blended with Gurbani them in the form of dialogues between Guru Arjan Dev and the related persons with his martyrdom is produced in this book.
Though excellence, sweetness and the musical grandeur of Gurbani cannot be translated into other languages with the same accuracy and sweetness. The main purpose of resting the history grafted with ideology as enshrined in Sri Guru Granth Sahib is to convey the message of the universal revelation (Gurbani) to those interested persons, who are not conversant with the Sikh faith and history.
