Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I am just writing this as a response to this question "Can U Recommend A Decent Book?" There are plenty of ispirational books on Sikhism. I can recomend two books which I have read recently. These two books are:
1. "Sikhs" By Patwant Singh
This book talks about our beloved Guru Sahibans' lives and also about the Sikh Panth from its beginng to the present. It is a very informative book filled with many insights.

2. "Autobiography of Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh"
Translated by Dr. Trilochan Singh
I read this autobiography of Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji ,a Great Gursikh, of the 20th century. He lived his entire life in a pure way that our Guru Sahibans have told us to live by. This book ispired me to come nearer to Sikhism. Bhai Sahib lived a true Gursikhs life in these same times which we live in. His faith in Waheguru was so strong that it made him see The Divine Light. He was well educatated son of wealthy parents but Waheguru was most precious to him. A very very ispiratonal book, I hope it will make you fell in love with Sikhi in the same way which it did to me.

I also would like to mention here that this autobiograpy was orginally written by Bhai Sahib in Punjabi, in a book titled "Jail Chittihan" (Prison Letters). I hope this information help my brothers and sisters who want to experience the bliss of Sikhism. And I sincerly applaud the efforts made by the Gursikhs at Sikhnet who are making our precious "Bana" shine like the Sun in the West. Waheguru is always with you.
