Harish Dhillon's book, "Janamsakhis: Ageless Stories, Timeless Values," is an enlightening book about the stories that tell us the core philosophy of the founder of the Sikh religion, Guru Nanak.

The book contains twenty tales about the life and times of Baba Nanak. And each story not only teaches the moral aspects but at the same time reveals the great personality of Guru Nanak and his thoughts. The language of the book is very easy to read.


What is Janamsakhis?

Janamsakhis are the tales that tell people about the deeds and creeds of Guru Nanak. It's a combination of two words, i.e., Janam, which means birth, and Sakhis, which literally means the stories.

There are four types of Janamsakhis: the Bala Janamsakhis, the Puratan Janamsakhis, the Meheraban Janamsakhis, and those written by Bhai Mani Singh, an 18th-century Sikh scholar and the childhood companion of the last Sikh Guru, Gobind Singh.

This book can remind anyone their childhood grandma stories about Guru Nanak Devji and his leelas. So peaceful and delighted to read some of his beautiful stories.
