Sukhmani Saheb (Treasure of Bliss)

by Bharat Bhooshan

Sukhmani Saheb is one of the most revered scriptures of the Sikh faith. It was written by the fifth guru Shri Guru Arjun Dev Ji to make accessible divine wisdom to the common man. It appeal extends beyond the Sikh community and it is widely read by Hindus. It has also been translated in Urdu by a Muslim Scholar Khwaja Dil Muhammad. The book presents poetic rendering in english of some of the most poignant verses from the Sukhmani Saheb. It will have special value and significance to those who are looking for an introduction to this holy Scripture but are constrained either for want of time or because of their inability to understand the language and style of the original text. This will especially benefit the younger generation that seeks to balance modernity with traditional spiritual values.
