ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ, The Intro…!!
“ਮਾਨਸ ਕੀ ਜਾਤ ਸਭੈ, ਏਕ ਪਹਚਾਨਬੋ”
(Manas ki jaat sabhai, ek pehchanbo)
This teaches the oneness and equality of all human beings, emphasizing the inherent unity of all individuals, regardless of their background or social standing, as emphasized by Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
What is ‘The Glowing Heart’ about?
First and foremost, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the “Sikh With Sikh” team for gifting me the English edition of The Golden Light. True to its title, Learn (Sikh) With Sikh Educator (Sikh) embodies a deep appreciation for the role of education in illuminating the teachings of Sikhism’s revered Gurus and sharing their universal wisdom with the wider reading community. Additionally, all the books published by this team combine informative content with a comic-centric approach, making learning both engaging and accessible.
Book précis…!!!
On a winter night, Mr. Rajeev and Mrs. Rasleen Rajeev take their children, Kirat and Simi, on an inspirational journey unveiling the life lessons of Guru Amar Das Ji—a radiant soul and the third Guru of Sikhism, who served from 1552 to 1574. He played a transformative role in shaping Sikh society and teachings. His legacy is defined by visionary social reforms, organizational innovation, profound spiritual guidance, and an unwavering commitment to the Sikh principle of universal equality.
Book Prelude..!!!
Through the protagonists Rajeev and Rasleen, author Kulwinder Kaur narrates the story of the greatest Guru, who contributed significantly to the fight against inequality, poverty, injustice, and sorrow. ‘Guru Amar Das Ji’ is well known for his pure and empathetic heart, always understanding the need for equality and a spirit of sharing. He is the torchbearer who introduced the culture of Langar, a communal dining tradition where kings and common people share the same humble food, symbolizing the themes of respect and equality.
Guru Amar Das Ji, An intro..!!!
Guru Amar Das Ji played a vital role in abolishing age-old restrictions such as ‘Parda’ (the practice of covering women’s faces in the name of cultural customs) and ‘Sati’ (where widows were forced to join their deceased husbands on the funeral pyre). He firmly believed that every face is a divine reflection and that all life is equally precious. Guru Amar Das Ji also holds the legacy of establishing ‘Sangat’ (congregation for hymns and teachings) as a sacred space to seek solace and wisdom.
Book Highlights..!!!
As shared by Kulwinder Kaur in this book about Guru Amar Das Ji, he introduced the amicable principle of ‘Pehle Pangat, Pache Sangat‘ (Meal First, Congregation Next). Pilgrims were encouraged to first partake in the community meal before attending the Sangat, symbolizing the value of equality. He also built ‘Baoli Sahib,’ a well designed to quench thirst and serve as a gathering place to foster social interaction and friendships. His philosophy of learning and knowledge-sharing always emphasized the importance of seeking wisdom. Additionally, he documented teachings and guidance for future generations to access and benefit from.
Inquisitive Emphasis..!!
Guru Amar Das Ji lives in the hearts of his disciples through his qualities of kindness, equality, and teachings. He is beloved for eternity, having sown the seeds of love and empathy. His timeless story inspires everyone to make the world a better place to live. May his blessings be with all who show generosity and compassion. He also encouraged the importance of selfless service, truly believing that happiness and care arise from helping others.
Author Accolades..!!!
My thoughts go out to author Kulwinder Kaur for documenting this timeless tale in a comic book format, serving as an inspirational folklore for future generations. Princess Aplinder Kaur deserves special applause for the eye-catching illustrations that keep children engaged with the storyline until the very end of the book
