Guru Nanak bani in contemporary English

I knew Prof Harjit Singh Gill before he became a legend. We were neighbours at Punjabi University, Patiala, where my mother Mrs Inderjit Kaur, was Vice-Chancellor, he was head of the Department of Linguistics and I was a student at Yadavindra Public School, Patiala. Prof Gill has taken on a difficult task of translating Guru Nanak’s compositions, and he has presented a modern, readable rendering in English. Here’s my review of his two-volumes, as well as a reincarnation of an earlier biography of Guru Nanak in free verse.
