tSingh Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 WaheGuruji Ka Khalsa WaheGuruji Ki Fateh Well, its taken a while but here it is. They're published and waiting to be sent over to the UK. They should be available by mid September. This is a shameless press release. Bhāvrasāmrit Tīkā by Tirath Singh Nirmala Published by Nirmala Educational Charitable Trust Hardback, 212 pages Release date: September 2006 The Nirmala Samprdāya is unsurpassed in its scholarly contribution to the Sikh literary tradition. Until now no translation has been made of any major work of the countless composed by this order of saint scholars. The Bhāvrasāmrit Granth is an 18th Century classic in the Braj Bhasha dialect by the great Nirmala scholar and saint Pandit Sādhū Gulāb Singh. The granth has formed a quintessential component of the traditional curriculum for Sants, Gyānīs and Prachāraks for over two hundred years. In content it is a poignant meditation on the nature of human suffering and the means to its cessation. Composed in captivating verse, the author provides a collection of insightful teachings including the importance of righteous action, the consequences of false attachment and the need for holistic spiritual practice. Tirath Singh Nirmala, in keeping with the Samprdāya’s tradition, has supplemented the translated text with commentary using both Gurbani and Sanskrit shāstras, providing the reader with a greater depth of understanding. This is preceded by an extensive introductory section on various aspects of the tradition, author and his work. Not only is this one of the earliest Nirmala tracts by one of its most distinguished scholars, but also an invaluable insight into the traditional understanding of the Khālsā and the Gurū during the late 18th century. ]Nirmala Educational Charitable Trust was established by Srīmān Sant Sher Singh Jī with the support of Srimān 108 Srī Mahant Gyān Dev Singh Jī to provide greater awareness of the Nirmala Samprdāya, to offer scholarships, and to establish educational colleges through charitable work. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Trust to enable similar projects in the future. Note that this book is a limited print run. Copies will be available in the UK at the Akharas of Nihang Niddar Singh and (presumably) DTF books in Birmingham priced at £4. Anyone interested who is not in the UK can pm me. thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tSingh Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 A quick update, a parcel was sent 'by sea' a few days back to the UK of 50 books, there will be lots more going over in a few weeks. Ustad Niddar Singh said he'd be happy to sell them in the akharay, otherwise contact guv by pm on this forum when they arrive. They should take about a month or so to reach the UK. thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tSingh Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Gurfateh Good news, the first batch (only 40 or so) are now in the UK. They will be available from the akharas I presume. Price is smoewhere around 5 pounds or something (which goes back into the charity for future publications and the girls college being opened - no fat babas with gold watches over here sadly). For those overseas who would like a copy, it shouldn't be too complicated so please pm me and reserve a copy. There will be a postage cost, and I have a paypal account. I'm not sure yet whether dtf will be taking copies. thanks Tirath Singh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tSingh Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 DTF books in the UK have taken a few copies. i doubt it'll come up on the website, and they've been bad at replying to emails, so i'd phone them if you want a copy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsingh00 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 if you can get this book to sacha sauda, they can put it online on their website, and they also ship books out by mail, so anyone can buy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tSingh Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Gurfateh I'm on the case with Canada. Amazon, never. Firstly its not that kind of book (i.e. a very small edition, not so academically rigorous, plus I'm a firm believer that those who want to find this stuff will do so). Secondly, the money's meant to go back into the pot without any unnecessary exploitation/price ups so that more things can be published in the future, and nirmal shaheedi bunga in chamkaur sahib can develop its proposed educational program. Perhaps if there ever were a revised second edition (which would need a number of things improving/correcting) then I'd make a more concerted effort to get proper distribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
