Dr. Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh has a way of taking something very academic and making it accessible. She doesn’t just do a great job of telling the reader the story of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. But adds context through historical background to help us really appreciate the revolutionary nature of the first Sikh. I am by no means a religious scholar but the context she adds throughout this book, especially the context related to language and the nuance behind various translations is empowering for anyone who wishes to engage further with Sikhi and directly with gurbani.
