Recommended Reading

[guptkuri]

I love to write and learn about Sikhi but I can only write if I have knowledge. My beanti to sadhsangat Ji is please recommend books I should order from India. My father just went and I am suppose to be emailing him a list at the earliest with books I need. I know a little bit punjabi but it is very hard for me to read, I am still learning. I am more comfortable with english books. So could you guys please recommend books in english or books that have english translation easily available.

Also if you guys know any good bookstore in jhalandar area or even amritsar, please do share.

I read "In Search of the True Guru" which is autobiography of Bhai Rama Singh jee, and Jail Chithiyaan which us autobiography of Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh jee.

Se Keneheya- Biography of Baba Harnaam Singh ji ( basic and must read book for everyone )

Roop Khalse Ka - Bhai Rama Singh ji

Auto Biography of Bhai Sahib Bhai Randheer Singh Ji also known has JAIL CHITTHIAN

Unfortunately, the effort which once came into my mind of distributing above three books for free did not go threw and it was also posted to this forum that if anybody need these books can email me and I got many emails but I could not make it happen. I really apologize for that.

Pyario, i'm more than happy to purchase and send them to you but due to the fact that the 3 volumes do contain Gurbanee, i personally don't feel posting them to the US is even an option for me.

you can purchase them from Singh Brother in Amritsar - maybe someone you know may be going India?

volume 1 - SRI NIRANKARI CHAMATKAR by SODHI TEJA SINGH

volume 2 - SODHI CHAMATKAR by SODHI TEJA SINGH

volume 3 - SRI DASAM GUR CHAMATKAR by SODHI TEJA SINGH

if you are interested in deep spirituality, the best books to get are sant waryam singh ji's discourses on the beyond series. they are available in english, but your dad should get punjabi for himself as well. He has soem other books as well. Kam1825 posted on a link on this forum through which you can order Atam Marg magazine, which has both english and punjabi contents. I would also recommend a nitnem steek, I have heard Sant Giani Avtar Singhs is very good.

The Sikh Religion by Max Arthur MacAuliffe is very comprehensive read on the history of our Guru Sahibs.

if you in university, you can search your school library database and they will usually have online books that are written by scholarly sources on whatever topic you want to read about.

I've tried it and have come across some good material for papers on Babbar Khalsa.
