Haven of Bliss: Anandpur Sahib - A Miracle of The Human Spirit (English)- Book By Vijay N. Shankar and Harminder Kaur

Anandpur Sahib has a very special place in the hearts and minds of Sikhs all over the world.

The story of Anandpur Sahib is told and is heard by the reader or the listener, as an act of worship. It is a story of relentlessly changing destinies held at bay by the Guru’s great will and his warriors of the body and the spirit. As you visit the festival of Hola Mahalla and the many Gurdwaras that commemorate milestone events from the life of Guru Gobind Singh in Anandpur Sahib even today, the feeling is that the Guru is always present.

Anandpur Sahib: A Miracle of the Human Spirit is a humble offering to the glory of a great saint-warrior, Guru Gobind Singh. Tenth in the life of the Sikh Gurus, Guru Gobind Singh gave pride and identity to an oppressed and troubled people, transforming them from victims to fighters. Indeed, this in itself is the "Miracle" the book invokes. It was and will continue to be, an inspiration to people everywhere who want to live with freedom and with pride as human beings.

Anandpur Sahib has a richness of many Gurdwaras, and forts connected with the life of Guru Gobind Singh. The book visits them all and the Hola Mahalla festival held in March each year when hundreds of thousands of people visit Anandpur Sahib. Even today during the Hola Mohalla festivities the Sikh warriors ride out in blood-curdling charges. At their head always is a warrior leading a rider-less horse. The symbolism is clear. It is believed that the Guru himself leads his warriors into battle.

This is the third photo-book in a sequence of works on Sikh shrines and spirituality. Anandpur Sahib: A Miracle of The Human Spirit evokes, as did the earlier books on The Golden Temple and the Guru Granth Sahib, the eclectic and humanistic philosophy of the Sikh Guru, who perhaps more than in any other religious tradition laid great stress on living a life of righteousness and practical positivity. These are ideas that have inspired the authors in their work.
