Bhai Parminder Singh Jī, the founder of Gurmat Studies Foundation and Guru Nanak Academy (GNA) created “Life Story of Guru Nanak Volume I” in 2003. He had aspired to provide a series of books on the life stories of Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Jī. In 2020, sevadaars of GNA published Volume II in a humble attempt to continue Bhai Sahib’s legacy and the interest has been incredible. Although the original Volume I is not available, with the sangat’s ongoing support, volunteers continue to dedicate effort towards publishing future volumes. If it so please Guru Sahib, a 2nd edition of Volume I will be created in the future using the same format as Volume II and III.

There will be a total of four volumes in this book series.

You can open the book to any sakhi and enjoy the bliss of Guru Nanak Dev Jī’s teachings. As you read through Sri Guru Nanak Sakhi Sagar, you will see each section includes the sakhi presented in English along with footnotes to elaborate and provide better understanding. Beautiful artwork from historical resources along with custom-made paintings specific to the sakhi add to the overall experience and helps build memory.

Sri Guru Nanak Sakhi Sagar is a suitable read for adults and children over 10 years of age. Younger children would benefit from being read to by parents, teachers and caregivers and discussing concepts shared within the sakhi. Another great way families and teachers can engage children is to first study the details of the sakhi then summarize the important teachings in your words. These books are especially useful for those interested in doing parchar and sharing the gift of Guru Sahib’s teachings with others.

Sākhī means stories or teachings (Sikhiyā) and Sāgar means ocean so the literal meaning is ‘Ocean of teachings.’ The detailed lessons within the stories of Srī Gurū Nānak Dev Jī’s life are deep and vast comparable to the ocean. The Sākhī holds the capability to give faith, which aids one in successfully crossing over the world-ocean.
