Book of The Ten Masters

by Puran Singh

Published by Punjabi University in 2006. This is a reprint of the classic book first printed in 1926, hardcover new, unread book but with a significant ding on the bottom of the boards that does not interfere with the pages. 9" x 5.5". 160 Taken from a a Book Review by MANJYOT KAUR on "When it comes to words of Sikh significance with the power to ignite and delight the mind and heart, very little - with the exception of the Sikh scriptures themselves, of course - can match the works of Prof. Puran Singh. The Book of the Ten Masters is a prime example of his pre-eminence among Sikh writers. There are many books about the Sikh Gurus that give in-depth accounts of the historical and political events of their times, without imparting a real sense of their spiritual horizons. A mystic par excellence, the author satisfyingly provides this dimension in a seemingly effortless manner. Right from the first words of the first chapter, describing Guru Nanak as a child - "He came like a Song of Heaven, and began singing as he felt the touch of the breeze and saw the blue expanse of sky" - the capacity of Puran Singh's words to soothe and uplift our souls is fully apparent." If you have not read a book on Sikh History before - this is the one to buy.
