Janamsakhis: Ageless Stories, Timeless Values by Harish Dhillon

Janamsakhis, as the name suggests, are stories that chronicle the life of Guru Nanak Dev in a sequential manner. The earliest known Janamsakhi, dating to 1658—over 120 years after Guru Nanak’s passing in 1539—reflects a tradition of evolving narratives. Over time, chroniclers modified and adapted these accounts to suit their era, leaving no single Janamsakhi as the definitive version.

In this volume, Dr. Harish Dhillon selects twenty of the most inspiring and captivating stories from Guru Nanak’s life. While written in a contemporary style, the narrative retains the timeless essence of the original Janamsakhis. The book aims to make the Guru’s life and teachings accessible to modern readers, highlighting his journeys (udasis) and his message of equality, love, and universal brotherhood.

This work not only informs but also inspires, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in religious studies, Indian history, or gaining deeper insight into the life and legacy of Guru Nanak.
