O enlightened one, 
I have been a yogi
in age after age,
I neither come nor go,
I cannot be obliterated,
I revel in the primordial sound.
 
Everywhere around me,
I see only community,
Everywhere, only carnival,
I am in all, all are in me,
I am utterly alone.
 
I am the mystic, I the illumination
I am the wordless, I the speaker
I don human form, divine form,
Sometimes I sport the formless,
There is none but I  
Frolicking within myself.     
 
Kabir says, O wanderer,
All desire gone,
I dance within my own hut --
Spontaneous reveler
Stirred only by the winds
Of my own freedom.

In this track, we explore Sardar Kapur Singhji's writings on the fundamental differences between the philosophy of Marx and of Sikhi.

Marxism And Sikhi

This lecture was given by Proff. Lou Fenech on November 14, 2012 at Mount Royal University to a public audience showcasing his work in examining Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Zafarnama.

In his upcoming book, Louis E. Fenech offers a compelling new examination of one of the only Persian compositions attributed to the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708): the Zafar-namah or 'Epistle of Victory.' Written as a masnavi, a Persian poem, this letter was originally sent to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (d. 1707) rebuking his most unbecoming conduct. Incredibly, Guru Gobind Singh's letter is included today within the Sikh canon, one of only a very small handful of Persian-language texts granted the status of Sikh scripture. As such, its contents are sung on special Sikh occasions. Perhaps equally surprising is the fact that the letter appears in the tenth Guru's book or the Dasam Granth in the standard Gurmukhi script (in which Punjabi is written) but retains its original Persian language, a vernacular few Sikhs know.

Drawing out the letter's direct and subtle references to the Iranian national epic, the Shah-namah, and to Shaikh Sa'di's thirteenth-century Bustan, Fenech demonstrates how this letter served as a form of Indo-Islamic verbal warfare, ensuring the tenth Guru's moral and symbolic victory over the legendary and powerful Mughal empire. Through analysis of the Zafar-namah, Fenech resurrects an essential and intriguing component of the Sikh tradition: its Islamicate aspect.
