It is an objective account of his response to the contemporary spiritual, political, social and economic conditions, his contribution to metaphysics, social engineering and polity, his attitude towards Muslims as well as Hindu orthodoxy, his floating of the Order of Khalsa, a new model of man as well as of society, his providing of fresh insights and fresh stimuli to make the people dynamic, forward-looking and transcendental in their approach and out-look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author peruses the available primary sources and earnestly collects the facts, screens traditions, legends and myths regarding Guru’s life. He goes through the mythic poetic works of the contemporaries, especially those contained in Dasam Granth. His approach is that facts unfold the outer life while myths and legends reveal the state of consciousness. Therefore, to him, both are useful while constructing history, though he takes care that non-historical and imaginary facts do not affect his conclusions. Hence, the author successfully attempts to treat all the facts pertaining to the life of the Guru, as they took place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIMPRIMIS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeritage\u003cbr\u003eEarly Life in Bihar\u003cbr\u003eAt Anandpur\u003cbr\u003ePaonta Period\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Bhangani\u003cbr\u003eReturn to Anandpur 1688\u003cbr\u003eEmergence of the Khalsa\u003cbr\u003eAlleged Worship of Goddess Durga\u003cbr\u003eOnslaught of Hindu conservatism and Islamic Imperialism\u003cbr\u003eThe Guru’s Escape Towards Malwa\u003cbr\u003eDamdama Period\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;From Damdama to Agra\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;From Agra to Nanded\u003cbr\u003eCulmination and Beginning\u003cbr\u003eA Multidimensional Personality\u003cbr\u003eGuru Govind Singh’s Literary Activities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART - II - GURU GOBIND SINGH’S VISION OF METAPHYSICS, POLITY AND SOCIAL IDEALS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGod, Universe and Man\u003cbr\u003eSikh Polity\u003cbr\u003eSikh Social Ideals\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003eAppendices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Surjit Singh Gandhi \/ Singh Brothers \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153601163632,"sku":"15558","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/15558.jpg?v=1793911472","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/a-historian-s-approach-to-guru-gobind-singh","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
