Gur Balam Sakhain- Short Stories of Guru Gobind Singh



www.sikhbookclub.com
A yet another literary work by our reverend author Padam Bhushan Bhai Vir Singhji is about chanting the pious name of the lord not once but everyday. Even if we chant for just 5 minutes, the perpetual intonation should continue at any cost. The busy stereotypical life bounds us with many things but what we don’t realize is that this incessant chanting of thy lord’s name will eventually fill our mind, body and soul with gems and jewels. The divinity should reside within to enlighten others with the benign spirituality a person has and must be encouraged to spread it and inculcate it within people he meets. The book highlights the life episodes of Guru Gobind Singhji, the tenth Guru sent by the lord and short stories from his life and concerning folks interacting with Guru Gobind Singhji. The books is written with the perspective to enlighten fellow people of faith who are ignorant of the lord’s name and do not know about Guru Gobind Singhji and his goodness to humanity. The introduction reveals the episode of the Guru asking a doctor to recite the name of the lord once on a daily basis and to that the doctor gave a non-affirmative reply because he had no time for prayers. It opens along with his saying- ‘He said: Remembrance is life. Forgetfulness is inanimateness.’ The book starts with the chapter representational process birth of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru’s birth in Patna and lots of episodes of his important holy life.
