The Philosophy of Guru Nanak: A Comparative Study (Volume 2) delves deeper into Hindu philosophy, acknowledging its ancient roots and wide-ranging schools of thought. Ishar Singh examines the Vedas, Shastras, Upanisads and classical systems of thought such as Sankhya, Yoga, Nyaya-Vaisheshika, Mimamsa and Vedanta, presenting them with historical detail and interpretive clarity. Considering this context, this volume explores Guru Nanak's unique contributions, situating his contrasting vision against inherited traditions. The concluding chapters synthesise these ideas, portraying Nanak as both heir to and reformer of India's spiritual heritage. By linking ancient Indian philosophy to Sikh philosophy, the volume illuminates their continuous nature, while affirming Guru Nanak's enduring originality.
Ishar Singh is a respected authority on religion and philosophy, known for his deep and comprehensive study of world faiths through authoritative sources. His writings reflect both scholarly rigour and a commitment to simplicity, making complex ideas accessible to a wide readership. He is the author of Nanakism—A New World Order—Temporal and Spiritual and The Sikh Religion, works that further demonstrate his engagement with the spiritual legacy of Sikhism.
