Srī Nānak Parkāsh Commentary Part 03 by Giānī Kirpāl Singh Bopārāi

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 Nnak Parksh that was written by Bh Santokh Singh J. The Sr Nnak Parksh is a hagiographic account portraying the life of Sr Gur Nnak 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 Punjb vernacular are able to grasp the great life of Sr Gur Nnak 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 Gin Kirpl Singh J Bopri.
