Gathering Storm - Guru Har Rai Ji and His Times- Writer Chand R. Agnihotri, Dr. Harbans Lal Agnihotri Publisher – Gopal Parkashan, Hisar

The composite culture of the Punjab finds its expression in the Sikh way of life, as espoused by the Gurus, both in their lives and teachings.

Prof. Puran Singh pays a tribute to this legacy when he writes that the gospel of the Gurus has sustained the community life in the Punjab: "Punjab sara jeonda guru de nam te".

The present volume is an attempt to reach out to the people to re-state the legacy of the Gurus. The Liberated Soul is not a dissertation tailored to a specific topic or frame of references.

First of its kind in English, the present full-length study is a labour of love, meant to analyse the message of the Guru against potentially dangerous challenges posed by the Mughal emperors.

Our task was beset with hurdles raised by the paucity of reliable material bearing on the achievements of Sri Guru Har Rai Ji and Sri Guru Har Krishan Ji. It has not been easy to reconstruct their historical accounts in the backdrop of gathering storm of persecution and fanaticism during the regime of the Last Mughal. Much has been written on Aurangzeb, but the details provided therein on the Sikh Gurus are woefully deficient.

An earnest attempt has, it may be submitted, been made to examine critically and historically the limited information contained in the available sources on the pontificates of Sri Guru Har Rai Ji and Sri Guru Har Krishan Ji for the benefit of the modern reader exposed to cross-currents of cultures and thoughts.

Gathering Storm is a part of the bigger project that seeks to transmit the universal message of the Gurus to the readers in the language and idiom they understand.
