Splendidly illustrated coffee-table book, in full colour – a book you will be delighted to own, and to share with others.
An exquisite collection of artworks by internationally acclaimed British artists and by The Singh Twins, with an original and easily-readable contemplative text.
Designed to speak to contemporary readers from all backgrounds, it reveals how the Sikh spiritual heritage emerged, and presents a treasury of Sikh wisdom, which remains as relevant today as it was over five centuries ago.
Conceived by Harinder Singh, this stunning compilation is the result of inspired collaboration between the US-based not-for-profit arts foundation, Sikhlens, and a UK-based creative team supported by the Guru Nanak Nishkam Education Trust, with a commentary developed by Gopinder Kaur. Illustrated by The Singh Twins, Jewels from Sikh Wisdom is an informative, educational, and totally beautiful intergenerational treasury, which appeals to those of Sikh heritage as well as to art-lovers, to wisdom-seekers, and to all who seek to co-create a better world.
Prabhu Guptara –
“This isn’t a book, it’s an experience. It’s wonderfully translated and explains Divine wisdom, history and spiritual practices from the Sikh perspective. Combined with the stunning illustrations which make this an incredible resource for anyone wishing to go beyond simply understanding Sikh wisdom, to experiencing the beauty of it’s teachings at a deeply profound level” – Satpal Singh Nanak Naam
Prabhu Guptara –
“I am overcome with admiration for your most beautiful book. It is utterly engrossing and you can feel your mind expanding as you turn the pages to encounter one surprise after another. It is a simply marvellous teaching tool. It is a particular pleasure to dive into the fine detail of your illustrations and continually find new aspects of them to admire. The mix of words – quotations and commentary alike – and pictures works like magic. There is something here for everyone, and I look forward to browsing my way slowly through the whole book, a page at a time, and learning, learning, learning…. This was a brilliant idea brought to brilliant completion. Your love and total commitment to your culture shines through the whole work. Thank you so much for sending me such a stupendous bedside book” – Professor Robert Hillenbrand School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures, University of Edinburgh, UK
