Why this small book on Sikhism when there is abundant literature already available in the market? Obviously, the objective of this work is to highlight the following aspects with which the Sikh Sangat may not be generally familiar:
• Disposal of mortal remains of Guru Nanak, and its spiritual implications;
• Gurudwara “Pather Sahib” in the deep Himalayas in Leh-Ladakh;
• Concept of “Nanak Lama”;
• Guru Nanak on a sort of Haj pilgrimage to Mecca, Medina, Baghdad and other Muslim shrines.
Islamic influence on Sikhism particularly of the Sufi shade, and the profound veneration in which Guru Nanak is held by the Tibetans are indeed the raison d’être for this book, small in size but large in substance. Undoubtedly, this self-contained book is an essential reading for all general readers keen to know in depth about Sikhism, Sikh intelligentsia in particular.
