A Heartwarming Endorsement

There is a unique joy in seeing a project you have poured your heart into make its way out into the world. That joy multiplies manifold when one of the first copies to arrive on American shores lands in the hands of a dear, long-time friend. I was absolutely delighted to receive a message from Kamla K. Kapur—acclaimed Indian-American playwright, poet, and author—holding her freshly delivered copy Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Roopinder Singh (?)

“This God was not to be found in remote temples or far away places. He is immanent, thus found everywhere.”
― Roopinder Singh, Guru Nanak: His Life & Teachings

“Guru Nanak taught his lesson in a simple way. He gave Duni Chand a needle and told him that he would take it from him in the next world. This made the merchant think and realise that he could not take any of his worldly possessions with him to a life after death. He asked for the Guru’s advice about what to do with all his material wealth. “If you give in the name of God and put food into the mouths of needy persons, only then will you have credit to take with you in your next life,” replied Guru Nanak.”

“When Guru Nanak reached Multan, the local pirs, or holy men, gave him a bowl of milk which was full to the brim indicating that the town was already full of holy men and that it did not have space for another. The Guru took a jasmine flower and put it on the bowl of milk. The flower floated, without the milk spilling over. The traditional interpretation of this is that Guru Nanak had shown that one more man of God would only add to the fragrance of the garden. However, it can also be seen as saying that the milk of knowledge, if contained in a bowl, can go bad whereas the fragrance of knowledge, unfettered in any way, spreads far and wide.”
― Roopinder Singh, Guru Nanak: His Life & Teachings
