Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sikh Religion, Its Gurus, Sacred Writings and Authors, Vol. 6 of 6
There have lived in India from time immemorial saints and thinkers who were dissatisfied with the superstitions and religious vagaries of the Hindus. They gradually evolved a belief in one God and preceded Guru Nanak as the dawn before sunrise. Abrupt indigenous alterations of religion have rarely, if ever, been presented to human experience. Some of the writings of the Guru's immediate precursors called Bhagats, or saints, are preserved in the Granth Sahib compiled by Guru Arjan. He selected for inclusion therein, with equal impartiality the writ ings of both Hindus and Musalmans, as they suited his purpose, and contributed to the great cause of religious reformation. We find in the sacred volume compositions of Jaidev, Namdev, Trilochan, Parma nand, Sadhua, Beni, Ramanand, Dhanna, Pipa, Sain, Kabir, Rav Das, Sur Das, verses of at least two Musalman saints, F arid and Bhikan and one recen sion of the sacred volume called Banno's Granth, preserved at Mangat in the Gujrat district of the Panjab, contains a hymn composed by Mira Bai, Queen of Chitaur. It is believed that Guru Arjan did not give it a place in his collection because the lady lived and died an idolater.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the lives and teachings of the *Bhagats*, a group of Indian saints who lived in the centuries preceding the founding of Sikhism. These individuals, considered to be the forerunners of Guru Nanak, challenged the prevailing religious practices of their time, advocating for a monotheistic belief in one God. The book examines the lives and writings of several prominent Bhagats, including Jaidev, Namdev, Trilochan, and Kabir. The author explores the Bhagats' diverse backgrounds, including both Hindu and Muslim traditions, and examines how their experiences shaped their beliefs and the unique forms of devotion they practiced. Through detailed biographical accounts and analysis of their hymns, the author sheds light on the social and religious landscape of medieval India, showcasing the Bhagats' significant contributions to the ongoing dialogue surrounding spirituality and the nature of the divine. The book provides a fascinating look at the rich tapestry of religious thought that existed in pre-Sikh India, demonstrating how these visionary figures laid the groundwork for future spiritual movements.
