Salok Mahallā Nouvān commentary by Sant Harī Singh Randhāwe Wāle.

This book is an English commentary on a prayer known as the'Salok Mahallā Nouvān' which are the stanzās by the ninthGurū Srī Gurū Tegh Bahādur Jī. This prayer is read at thecompletion of the Akhānd Pāth or the closing of prayers fromthe Srī Gurū Granth Sāhib Jī. This prayer is used to invoke asentiment of dispassion within both the reader and the listenerto detach from this world and focus upon the name of God. It isthe most read prayer by Srī Gurū Tegh Bahādur Jī and both hasa historical and spiritual significance.There are numerous commentaries that can be found withinSikh literature on this text but the one that impacted on me themost was a lecture by Sant Harī Singh (Randhāwe Wāle). Thiscommentary took place on the 22nd of April 2012 at GurdwārāSingh Sabhā Malton Canada. This commentary wasdispassionate and at the same time provided evidence from thehistorical texts to show the importance in the passing of theGurūship from the ninth to the tenth Gurū.The other reason why there is such great importance
