Into the Great Heart by Kamla K. Kapur

Into the Great Heart by Kamla K. Kapur blends history, legend and fiction to tell stories of the early Sikh tradition. This second book in the Sikh Founder series continues the narrative of Guru Nanak and Bhai Mardana and follows Bhai Lehna’s journey toward becoming Guru Angad.

Published by Mandala, it also brings women such as Mata Sulakhni, Bebe Nanaki, Khivi and Amro into the foreground. Read it as a literary retelling shaped by spiritual concerns, not as a documentary history in which every scene is a verified event.
