Apart from undertaking research activities, Naad Pargaas USA is involved in publication of books. Most of the books published by Naad Pargaas are orignial works in the domain of literature, poetry, critical theory and Sabda philosophy. We have a collection of more than 20 books published thus far. For more information please visit naadpargaas.com/books

To undertake a project of book publication, Naad Pargaas sponsers a researcher for about 2 to 3 years to write a book. We pay a styphene during the time of research and the research work is published thereafter. With each progressive publication, we have constently raised the bar of our publication.

The cost of publication involves  styphene, book editing, and review etc.  To raise the standard of these publications further, we need reviews from international reviewers raising the cost of publication even further.  

At present we publish about 4 to 5 books a year and we need support for continuing to sponser our researchers. 

The future of any community is dependent on education and knowledge. We can take advantage of these books and participate intellectually in different walks of life.

With negligible Government or private sector grants, the domain of Sikh studies relies primarily on contributions from the Sangat. 

Please consider supporting this effort!

    New Book released

    A rare collection of letters of Prof. Puran Singh to Bhai Vir Singh is excavated from many archives that is put together and edited by Jaswinder Singh. This is an another indispensible work published by Naad Pargaas. Many of these lettters reflect Prof. Singh's quest for spiritual guidance from Bhai Vir Singh while transcending the boundries of his individual seeking. These letters are rather a reflection of Sikh spirit seeking for inpiration and guidance of highest order. 

     

    Many such rare accounts remain buried under the dust of the archives of many libraries, and their lonely shelves getting dusted and worn out. We are trying to retreve the most from the pages of history and anthology. However, we would need your support to take a deeper plunge into these treasures of ideas and refreshing accounts, before these are permanently lost from Sikh archieves.

     

    Below is the front and back cover page of this new launched book. It can be purchased from Singh Brothers, Sri Amritsar, Punjab, India

    Ik Painda- New Publication in Punjabi Poetry

    In efforts to preserve the tradition intiated by Guru Gobind Singh (who had 52 poets in his court reciting poetry on regular basis) Naad Pargaas published a new book titled Ik Painda in Punjabi Poetry. This book is a refreshing expression that reminds us the significance of creative art in human life. Today when Gurmukhi script is under a seige and Punjabi language is going through a rough patch, unfortunately even in Sikh homes, Naad Pargaas has taken a step ahead to resurrect the importance of language, while undertaking the responsibility to uplift the becon of the light lit by the Gurus. 

       The book IK Painda is authored by our poet Tejinder Singh, who resides in UK. This work is available though printer and distributer Singh Brothers, Amritsar. The senstivity in expression of these poems has flown from Tejinder's pen celebrating life in divine realization. The foreword of the book IK Painda is authored by Prof. Jagdish Singh, Director Naad Pargaas Amritsar. 

     

    Please support such and many more upcoming endeavors that Naad pargaas envisions to undertake in coming times
