ABOUT THE BOOK 

Guru Nanak (Vol. 1) is the first installment in Kartar Singh (K.S.) Duggal’s monumental series, Select Sikh Scriptures. This volume is a masterful translation and commentary on the hymns of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, as recorded in the Guru Granth Sahib.

Duggal’s work is highly regarded because it doesn't just translate the words; it attempts to capture the raga (musicality) and the spiritual fervor of the original Punjabi verses. It serves as an accessible gateway for both scholars and laypeople to understand Guru Nanak’s revolutionary message of "Ik Onkar" (One God) and universal brotherhood.
