Böcker av Kamalpreet Singh Pardeshi

This is the forty-first chapter from the fifth Rut that is being published here into an English vernacular. What is the relevance of this chapter and why is this the commencement of the pure knowledge within the text? These ten chapters are a series of questions and answers between Bh¿¿ Day¿ Singh J¿ and the Sikhs on topics foundwithin Ved¿nt and Yog. This first chapter is based on the Karams. What are the karams? The Karams are the actions of cause and effect and the different types that induce good and bad merit to a person. This topic covers the different types, their differences and where they are stored. The subject matter is very difficult to comprehend so I have tried to simplify the language and the content from the commentary by Gi¿n¿ Harbhajan Singh J¿ when he expounds the text. This is so that the knowledge can be grasped easier to those that wishto learn and can provide points of further investigation and learning if the seeker desires.

This small book is an edited translation from a book called the'Parbodh Chandar N¿tak' written by Pandit Gul¿b Singh Nirmal¿.This book comprises of a translation of the commentary to this text byanother great Nirmal¿ scholar, Pandit Narain Singh L¿hore Mujang¿W¿le. The details of the text are explained following this preface butin essence this is an allegorical play focusing on the various virtuesand how an individual gravitates towards the oneness with God andstrays from sinful acts. Although this book only covers the secondchapter there is a lot of information to digest which will assist inunderstanding the struggles of the individual on a daily routine.I have written this book in an attempt for people to understand theknowledge from the great meta-physics discussed within the text. But,the real reason for writing this text is in order to try and revive theinterest in old Nirmal¿ authored texts into Ved¿nt which due to greatignorance are now ignored and no longer studied. Those who areignorant to the old texts do so due to lacking knowledge, a fear ofVed¿nt considering it to be anti-Sikh or discrimination due to seeingthat the author uses the title of 'Pandit'. I hope people give this book achance and realise the knowledge contained within is worth their timeand gain an understanding on the principals being taught by theancient masters.

This book is the third part of a series of books that will focus on an English translation of the text known as the Sr¿ N¿nak Park¿sh that was written by Bh¿¿ Santokh Singh J¿. The Sr¿ N¿nak Park¿sh is a hagiographic account portraying the life of Sr¿ Gur¿ N¿nak Dev J¿ through a poetical measure. This text was created by the great poet, Kav¿ Santokh Singh J¿ in order for Sikhs to focus on the correct historical stories of the Gur¿ when there were many accounts that had been tampered. The distortion of earlier historical accounts led to Kav¿ Santokh Singh J¿ 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 Punj¿b¿ vernacular are able to grasp the great life of Sr¿ Gur¿ N¿nak Dev J¿. 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 Sant Gi¿n¿ Kirp¿l Singh J¿ Bop¿r¿i.

The Matra Sahib is a spiritual composition by Baba Sri Chand Ji regarding the Udasi order and contains the intrinsic teachings given to the followers of the order. This prayer is of great importance to the Udasi order and is recited daily by its followers and hopefully this small booklet will allow readers to understand the great teachings being given by Baba Sri Chand Ji who is known throughout India as a great saint. Further this booklet has been created with the purpose of trying to rebuild relations between the Sikhs and the Udasi community as 100 years ago the groups were not as distant as they are in the present.

This is a short text translated from the commentary by Mahant Ganesha Singh Nirmala. The texts commentated on are the Sahaskriti Saloks and Gatha from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. This text is in Gurmukhi (Punjabi), English and Romanised Bani. I hope the authors efforts are able to convey the message that the Mahant was trying to deliver
