About the Author

This book consists of English translations of some selected Banis of the Sikh scriptures: Sri Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth. It addresses the contemporary postmodern/multicultural reader and endeavors to elaborate the international significance of the Sikh system. It prevents VISMÄD/joyous Wonder of the Sikh scriptures as an alternative to the two contemporary capital based paradigms/orders: Capitalism and Socialism, in which capital is alienated from the joyous Wonder, difference and the primary symphony of life. The Sikh Paradigm of VISMÄD can contribute to redefine capital and modify our socio-political instructions, which will bring about a radical change, minimizing problematics. Humankind will get nearer to attaining its much cherished, lasting peace.
