About the Author

Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, was a visionary leader, poet, and warrior whose life embodied the principles of justice, courage, and spiritual enlightenment in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born in Patna in 1666, he founded the Khalsa in 1699, transforming Sikhism into a martial and egalitarian faith amid Mughal persecution. His literary contributions, composed in Persian and Punjabi, include epic poems and letters that blend mysticism with calls for righteous resistance. Collaborating with historian and diplomat Navtej Sarna, whose insightful translations and commentaries bring historical depth, this edition revives Guru Gobind Singh's timeless wisdom for contemporary readers, highlighting his role in shaping Sikh identity and Indian heritage.
