Mata Ganga Ji and the Naulakha Necklace (Sikh Children's Books)

Mata Ganga Ji and the Naulakha Necklace (Sikh Children's Books)

You will be inspired by this story of one of the most revered Sikh women in history! When a beautiful necklace worth 900,000 coins is presented as a gift in Guru Arjan Dev Ji's court, the entire city of Amritsar is in a buzz. Everyone wants to see the necklace - especially the wealthy women who come to see the Guru's wife, Mata Ganga Ji. Mata Ganga knows that her husband is not interested in material things, but her aristocratic peers soon pressure her to don the expensive necklace herself. Feeling the pressure, Mata Ganga devises a plan: she will beg the Guru to grant her one meagre wish. But when she wishes to wear the beautiful naulakha necklace, the great giver of gifts - Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji - presents her with something entirely different... ...a "necklace" more precious than any ornament that Mata Ganga has ever seen. Read the incredible Sakhi of how the Bani, Sri Bavan Akhri, came to be, and discover the true meaning of beauty. This hardly-known Sakhi is a reimagining of the Sakhi written down by Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji in his book, "Gurmat Gauratva". We do not claim to know what the characters looked like. We beg for forgiveness from Guru Sahib for any mistakes made in the making of this book.
