Bulleh Shah Kaljayi Kavi Aur Unka Kavya (Hindi Edition)

Like an ocean in a pot, this book presents a collection of the best and most representative poems from the vast body of poetry of timeless Hindi poets, along with detailed analysis.Punjabs Sufi saint and poet Bulleh Shah (1680-1758) is equally respected by Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs for his extraordinary personality, demeanor, and deep spiritual experience. His entire oeuvre focuses on attaining God or Guru, and he considers love to be the only means for this. In this pursuit of love, he disregarded any distinctions based on human religion, sect, caste, creed, color, or race. Bulleh Shah was a scholar with extensive knowledge of religion, philosophy, and literature, but all this knowledge was so ingrained in his love for God that his words exude nothing but love. Despite his knowledge of Arabic and Persian, his speech is in Punjabi, and its joyful, intoxicating, and carefree spirit comes from the folk of Punjab. Perhaps this is why Bulleh Shahs words remain immensely popular even today and are widely used in cinema, music, TV, the internet, and other media.This selection presents the best of Bulleh Shahs works, considered authentic and authoritative.
