The 5 volume series, Bhagat Bani Steek, is a compilation of Professor Sahib Singh’s several years of toil, interpreting the philosophical meanings of the hymns of Guru Bhagat (followers) enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib. Published in 1959, the first part contains interpretations of hymns of 12 Bhagat, excluding Bhagat Namdev, Bhagat Kabeer and Bhagat Ravidas.
The Bani (hymns) of these followers epitomize the inclusiveness of the Adi Granth, wherein these found places are irrespective of the author’s supposedly ambivalent social standings. Emerging as a response to the dogmatic practices of the institutionalized religion, these Bani (hymns) are characterized by their eternal love for the True Lord, which alone can erase the darkness of ignorance.
