"Prophets appearing at different times and periods have spoken of the truth which was their mission to bring to humanity, to cure the sickness of the soul. They give it in words and forms suited to the needs of times, to show the true way, out of the darkness of superstitions and formalism. They came to show the path of integration. They said that the law of life is to love one another and in that loving to awaken the spirit of devotion and find God.

This volume is fully illustrated in colours and is a unique guide about the ten Gurus of Sikh Dharma. The idea behind the present venture is to make available these rare works to most libraries and readers." (jacket)
