Publisher's Synopsis
This book is the third part of a series of books that will focus on an English translation of the text known as the Sri Nanak Parkash that was written by Bhai Santokh Singh Ji. The Sri Nanak Parkash is a hagiographic account portraying the life of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji through a poetical measure. This text was created by the great poet, Kavi Santokh Singh Ji in order for Sikhs to focus on the correct historical stories of the Guru when there were many accounts that had been tampered. The distortion of earlier historical accounts led to Kavi Santokh Singh Ji creating this text so that Sikhs would have knowledge about the founder of their faith. Through these stories' individuals can also gain knowledge on great philosophical and metaphysical teachings. I have written this book so that the Sikh community who are unable to understand the Punjabi vernacular are able to grasp the great life of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. I am surprised that so far, the many Sikh scholars have not attempted to bring such a work to the community. It is with the grace of the intellectuals that I have been able to commence such a project. This commentary was originally uttered by Giani Harbhajan Singh Dhudhikay (Vidyarthi Sampardai Bhindra).
