Kabir''s sakhis are timeless wisdom for all, now uniquely translated in rhyme by Chandan Sinha. John Stratton Hawley praises this original book for capturing the essence of Kabir''s conversations with God and self. Each translation is followed by a brief explanation, making it a daily must-read.
The Bhakti saint-poet Kabir''s sakhis/ dohas (couplets) have been a source of wisdom to people across the spectrums of caste, class and creed. His sakhis are his conversations with God, with himself and with us in everyday colourful tongue thateave a mark on readers of all ages. Several translations have appeared until now but this book by Chandan Sinha is a first of its kind. In his Foreword, John Stratton Hawley calls this a ''strikingly original book'' that translates the sakhis in rhyme”as in the original”which is easy enough ''in Hindi, but it''s very much harder in English.'' A short explanation follows each translation. It is a book to turn to every day.
