Srī Nānak Parkāsh Commentary Part 04 by Giānī Harbhajan Singh Dhudhikay (Vidyārthī Sampardāi Bhindrā)

This book is the fourth part of a series of books that will focus on an English translation of the text known as the Srī Nānak Parkāsh that was written by Bhāī Santokh Singh Jī. The Srī Nānak Parkāsh is a hagiographic account portraying the life of Srī Gurū Nānak Dev Jī through a poetical measure. This text was created by the great poet, Kavī Santokh Singh Jī for Sikhs to focus on the correct historical stories of the Gurū when there were many accounts that had been tampered. The distortion of earlier historical accounts led to Kavī Santokh Singh Jī 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 Punjābī vernacular are able to grasp the great life of Srī Gurū Nānak Dev Jī. 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 Giānī Harbhajan Singh Dhudhikay (Vidyārthī Sampardāi Bhindrā).
