Bhai Nand Lal and Ganjnama

Bhai Nand Lal is one of the poets of Guru Gobind Singh's court. He was orignally a Hindu Afghan who worked in the Mugal courts. His knowlegde was so impressive that Aurangzab (Ruler of time) insisted such a man should be made a muslim, after hearing Bhai Nand Lal's interpretation of a Quran verse. Refusing to convert Bhai Nand Lal thus seeked refuge. He found himself in Anandpour in the court of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who on his first vision of the Guru was so impressed by his being that he decided to stay in his court for years. He became a Sikh of the Guru and was one of Guru Gobind's prized poets. His works are mainly in Persian and Punjab. Through his writings one can observe that he shared a unique relationship with Guru Gobind Singh ji, having poetic works that includeds passages dedicated on the greatness of Guru Gobind Singh and as well direct dialogue with the 10th master. His persian works are so poetic and full with loving devotion and praise that it can be compared to even such greats as Rumi. More on Bhai Nand Lal can be found here Bhai Nand Lal.
