Kanwar Singh's Masterpiece
Sikhnet review Kanwar Singh's latest piece. "Guru Arjan Dev Ji dictating the Adi Granth to Bhai Gur Das Ji, which has moved me more deeply than any of its predecessors. Guru Ji sits on the Perkarma in a state of deep repose. The expression on his face is one of joy far beyond the physical plane. The pristine Darbar Sahib shines with the glow of the morning light, radiant in the sarovar behind him whilst Bhai Gur Das records the Shabd "Guru Dev Mata, Gur Dev Pita" on a scroll resting before him.
The moment is transcendent. The trees, the birds and the sky itself are all enthralled and suspended in time as the sound of the Guru's Shabd fills the holy space. The magnificence, intimacy and deep sacredness of the moment is captured perfectly, far beyond words to express." Click here to read the full article by Guruka Singh (Sikhnet founder).
