'Navin Paneeri Guru Nanak DevJi Part 1'is a pictorial presentation of our first Guru Nanak Dev Ji written by Bhai Vir Singh. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born in 1469 AD in city Rai Bhoi’s Talwandi to mother Tripta and Mehta Kalu Ram. Guru’s Nanak Dev’s childhood was known as one which was witness to many miracles performed by the Guru even at his tender age.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji was very different from the other children of his age. When Pandit Har Dayal came to cast the newborn’s horoscope he was amazed by looking at the position of the stars and vital statistics of the baby. Naveen Paneeri shows the time since his birth to when Guru Ji left Sultanpur Lodhi. This book is very interesting for readers of all ages.

Bhai Vir Singh is regarded as the founder and creator of Punjabi Literature and was a revered writer and poet known for his spiritual literary work in particular. He was born into a Sikh traditional family on 5th December 1872 in Amritsar. His creative works involve the “Shri Guru Nanak Chamatkar” depicting the influence of Guru Nanak Devji in ordinary people’s lives. He reoriented the Sikh faith and assimilated different modernizing influences and made it go in unity with the Sikh rich history and cultural heritage. His Literary geniuses include, Shri Guru Kalgidhar Chamatkar, Bijay Singh and Satwant Kaur. One can also look into his historical collections with books like Sri Guru Nanak Chamatkar and Sri Asht Guroo Chamatkar etc. His later contributions do not need any introduction as he wrote several books on Gurbani, the lives of the Sikh Gurus and other religious figures. He made an impression with books like Subhagji da Sudhar Hathin Baba Naudh Singh, popularly known as Baba Naudh Singh. His short poems include books like Dil Tarang (1920), Tarel Tupke (1921), Lahiran de Har (1921), Matak Hulare (1922), Bijlian de Har (1927) and Mere Sayian Jio (1953). This then showed the way and led to the emergence of Punjabi poetry. His creative work and poetry made him so popular that he was declared as Bhai, the brother of the Sikh order, very early in his career for his true contribution in spreading Sikhism.
