Sikhs In Others Eyes

Ms. Pearl S. Buck, a Nobel Prize Winner in Literature was presented the four volumes of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in English when visiting Delhi in 1960s. Once settled in her home in Pennsylvania, she started reading Guru Granth Sahib. She expressed her amazement that such a modern religion existed and the world did not know of it.

A Chilean philosopher, Dr. Bittencourt (Double Ph.D.) was so impressed with Sikhism after reading “GLIMPSES OF DIVINE MASTERS” by Late S. Ranbir Singh that he volunteered to write an excellent thirteen page preface about Sikhism for S. Ranbir Singh’s second book “THE SIKH WAY OF LIFE.” This is an excellent reading on Sikhs in comparative study of religions. (Email us for a free copy of this preface).

As late as Feb. 2000, cknet (a Sikh email network) reported, ”What does the CTO of AT&T read?” Mr. David C. Nagel, the president of AT&T Labs and AT&T’s Chief Technology Officer has a book on his desk that has a lot to do with Sikhs. What is that book? On Mr.Nagel’s desk stands out: THE ARTS OF THE SIKH KINGDOMS, by Susan Stronge. Mr. Nagle is impressed that in the great melting pot of cultures - Punjab, the Sikhs gave and borrowed a lot. Can you imagine how many “movers & shakers” must have been exposed to that one book on Mr. Nagel's table?

The Sikh Foundation incorporated in 1967 (tax exempt non-profit organization) with offices in Palo Alto, CA. is the publisher of not only “The Art Of Sikh Kingdoms”, but has many more excellent books, videos, calendars and other pride building products. The main objective of The Sikh Foundation is to propagate Sikhism.
