Description
The third in the four-part series of Select Sikh Scriptures, this volume is devoted to Guru Angad Dev, Guru Amar Das, Guru Teg Bahadur, and Bhaktas among whom more important are Kabir, Farid, Ravi Das and Namdev.
With Guru Nanak Dev in the first volume and Guru Arjan Dev in the second volume, the present volume marks the completion of selections from Guru Granth Sahib. It provides a rare coverage of which there is hardly a parallel in the scriptural literature. Alongwith the Sikh Gurus, it incorporates compositions of men of God belonging to various castes and creeds, regions and avocations. Among them are Jaidev of Bengal; Surdas of Awadh; Namdev, Trilochan and Parma Nand of Maharashtra; Beni, Ramanand, Pipoa, Sain, Kabir, Ravi Das and Bhikhan of Uttar Pradesh; Dhanna of Rajasthan and Farid from Punjab.
Prefaced with perceptive introductory notes on the Gurus, saints and sages featuring in the volume, the selection of the scriptures and their transcreation into English has been done by noted Punjabi litterateur Kartar Singh Duggal.
