Mrs. Rajni Sekhri Sibal, a civil servant and a prolific writer has released her latest book ' The Guru: Guru Nanak's Saakhis', a collection of saakhis about the life of Guru Nanak – the wise and compassionate founder of Sikhism. The book explores events in Guru Nanak Dev's life that give an insight into the thoughts and beliefs of a sagacious and humane person – an enlightened soul. The narratives, built on oral recounts, underscore the wisdom of a pure gentle soul with a world-view that is rational. ‘The Guru: Guru Nanak's Saakhis’ is a collection of 500-year-old anecdotes about an inquisitive child who questioned the world around him; – a perceptive teenager who thought rationally in an irrational world; – an informed youngster who looked for the logic behind the extant norms and mores; – a wise and empathetic human being who tried to obliterate prejudices that were deep-rooted in society – and a gentle, serene and pure soul who spread harmony, peace and compassion. Ms Sibal has authored several books including: ‘Clouds End and Beyond’, an anthology of verses and ‘Kamadhenu’, a coffee table book published by Wisdomtree; ‘Are You Prepared for a Disaster?” – a book to generate awareness about disaster risk reduction published by Bloomsbury; ‘Fragrant Words’, an anthology of verses brought out by Bloomsbury; ‘The Haunting Himalayas’, a Haranand publication of esoteric short stories set in the mountains; ‘Asariri’, a mystical novel published by Bloomsbury; and her latest ‘Women of Influence: Ten Extraordinary IAS Careers’ a collection of true events published by Penguin. Congratulations Ms Sibal!
