Roopinder Singh brings his formidable journalistic skills and a Sikh insider's perspective to capture most engagingly and with enviable brevity, the magic and mystery of Nanak, the man and his message. Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike should find this work equally exciting and rewarding.
Dr I J. SINGH, New York, USA Copy
This is an inexpensive and beautifully produced book with rare pictures and illustrations to recreate the history, philosophy and travels of Guru Nanak. It deserves a prominent position in any library on Sikhism.

With his artistic sensibility, penetrating insight and narrative skill, Roopinder has portrayed Guru Nanak as one of the greatest humanists who gave his message of love, the brotherhood of man and charity with passionate ardour. An exquisite portrait gallery of Guru Nanak, his life, and teachings
