Nanak Nirankari Kavi

GURU NANAK WAS AN ENLIGHTENED MYSTIC, AND THE FOUNDER OF SIKHISM. NANAK MADE HIS SADHANA, HIS PRACTICE, OUT OF SONG. NANAK`S WORDS ARE THE WORDS OF A POET, A BARD AND A LOVER OF BEAUTY.`EK ONKAR SATNAM` IS THE ESSENCE OF JAPUJI SAHIB - THE MESSAGE OF NANAK THAT EMERGED AS THE RELIGION OF SIKHISM. INDEED, `EK ONKAR SATNAM` IS THE HEARTBEAT OF NANAK, AND JAPUJI SAHIB IS THE FRAGRANCE OF THE INNER FLOWERING. `EK ONKAR SATNAM`, OSHO`S SERIES OF PREACHINGS ON NANAK-VANI, IS AN UTTERLY REMARKABLE BOOK. IT`S AN EXTRAORDINARY COMPILATION OF THE TWENTY PREACHINGS GIVEN BY OSHO ON GURU NANAK DEV JI`S JAPUJI. IN THE BOOK, IT`S AS IF NANAK DEV HAS MANIFESTED AGAIN IN THE 21ST CENTURY, AND HAS BREATHED NEW LIFE INTO HIS OWN SUTRAS THROUGH OSHO`S MOUTH.THE JAPUJI SAHIB CONTAINS THE VERY FIRST WORDS GURU NANAK DEV UTTERED AFTER SELF-REALIZATION. IN `EK ONKAR SATNAM`, OSHO INTERPRETS AND ELABORATES ON NANAK`S SONGS OF DEVOTION, WHILE SHARING TIMELESS WISDOM ABOUT THE NATURE OF SINGING, DEVOTION, LOVE, RELIGION, AND THE DIFFERENT PATHS TO FLOURISHING CONSCIOUSNESS.`EK ONKAR SATNAM` HELPS US UNDERSTAND GURU NANAK`S VISION IN OUR OWN WAY. WHILE THE FOCUS OF THE BOOK IS COMPLEX, OSHO IS ABLE TO ARTICULATE THESE COMPLEX IDEAS THROUGH SIMPLE STORIES. THE IDEAS GET HEAVY AT TIMES, BUT HE ALWAYS BRINGS IN A FUN AND RELEVANT STORY TO DRIVE THE POINT HOME...समाधीतले सिद्ध आणि ध्यानातले साधू गात आहेत. यती, सती, संतोषी, महान, शूरवीर गात आहेत. पंडित, विद्वान, ऋषीश्वर आणि त्यांचे वेद युगानुयुगे तुलाच गात आहेत. स्वर्गापासून पाताळापर्यंत तुझ्या गाण्याव्यतिरिक्त अजून कुठलेही स्वर नाहीत. हे अस्तित्व म्हणजे एक उत्सव आहे... जर तुम्ही कुणाला नाचताना बघाल, तर त्याला फुलं वाहून या. पण असं कुणी करत नाही. तसं केलं असतं, तर जगातले आश्रम, मठ यांचं स्वरूप बदलून गेलं असतं. तिथे उत्सव असता. गाणी, नृत्य असतं. एक महाकाव्य असतं निरंतर!
