Reviews
"Swami Rama has deep insight into the Infinite. His personal attainment is visible in every stanza. This exposition with Japji Sahib as its basis will shed light for all times to come. It will impart solace. It will impart love."
–Justice Pritam Singh Safeer
"Swami Rama's translation of Japji not only rhymes well but also retains the essence of the original. An inspired soul, Swami Rama has made a successful attempt to project to the world Guru Nanak's essentially spiritual and elevating message, which I am sure will help in promoting universal brotherhood and removing barriers created in the name of religion."
– Dr. Mohinder Singh, Director, Guru Nanak Institute for Comparative Study of Religion, New Delhi, India
"Swami Rama is not only gifted with a metric expression that I evidenced in each and every word of this masterly rendering, but also has a mantric vision to support his expression."
– Dr. I. Panduranga Rao, Director, Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad
