Writer and compiler Bhullar applies notable erudition, strict attention, and respectful research to this vast collocation of the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and subsequent prophets credited with founding and sustaining the Sikh religion. This far-reaching wisdom offers spirituality from experiences of higher consciousness to the simplicity of living in the physical world with grace and dignity. The messages are arrayed as a compilation of Sikhism’s central scripture—the Guru Granth Sahib. Through visions and revelations, the guru concluded that Islam and Hinduism are equal, with the inference that all religions, including Christianity, are one. Though language may vary and spiritual leaders display differences of personality, their messages carry equivalent weight, encouraging and explicating followers to seek a sanctified existence.

Bhullar’s highly organized exploration shares the concepts of enlightenment as imparted by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and other spiritual groundbreakers. Examples include the assiduously articulated assertion that “worldly wealth “ is a “sweet poison of short-lived pleasures,” whereas those who adopt the Word of the True Master will be “drenched” in its essence. Bhullar, an engineer with forty years of experience in India and the United States, was drawn to share this lengthy collocation—an enterprise that evolved over many years and entailed the organization and publication of several volumes on Sikh scripture and its relation to Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Like this one, the volumes are helpfully offered in English and Punjabi, allowing readers to recite and absorb the poetic presentations in both languages and scripts. A central theme is that of the Mool Mantra, which can be translated as “root verse,” an expression of one universal God and creed. Bhullar’s publication will enthrall all proponents of the oneness of God and God’s creation. It invites consideration among those for whom such a higher understanding may open a fresh spiritual pathway.
