This is a well-researched and scholarly book on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev ji. It traces the philosophical underpinnings of the way of life that Guru Nanak taught us – meditating, earning through hard work, and sharing with others. Guru Nanak’s unique mantra maximises human welfare by striking an optimal combination of a householder’s life with attainment of highest levels of spiritual standards. Guru Nanak’s preaching in different geographical regions and interaction with diverse spiritualists at various pilgrimages emphasised on raising consciousness by cultivating the mind. The book discusses the increasing relevance during the contemporary period of the economic and social model of Guru Nanak, minted at Kartarpur, where he finally settled after long travels, about 500 years ago. Guru Nanak emphasised on dignity of labour; equality of human race without making distinction between religion, castes, and gender; and democratic values of decision making through consultation; for a vibrant and happy society. The author explains various concepts in a very lucid manner, quoting frequently from Gurbani and contextualising events by referencing historical texts. It is indeed an intellectual treat for a scholar and a seeker. I would strongly recommend the book to all young and old, and Sikhs and non-Sikhs to appreciate the social richness and economic wellbeing of living together in a harmonious way.
