His work is now being carried ion by the presents, Maharaj Charan Singh , and the place is verily a haven of pilgrimage for tens of thousands of the followers , who come here spiritual guidance from all parts of the world especially Great Britain, other European countries , United states of America and south Africa . the book was first published, in 1943. The complete work is in two volume, comprising more tan 1000 pages each, with copious quotations from the Adi Granth , the bible, the Vedas and various other scriptures.
The preparation of the two original volumes involved extensive research and labour by the author, and as a result of this, they comprise a complete encyclopaedia of information on sant Mat, the teachings of the saints . every aspect of the teachings is discussed in the minutes detail , and is lucidly and forcefully explained fro the benefit of seekers after Truth .
The Author, as is well Known , was a Great saint. His approach to the subject is absolutely authentic , based as it is on the foundation of direct personal knowledge and inner experience. It is no exaggeration, therefore, to cal the Gurmat Sidhant the encyclopaedia of literature dealing with matters spiritual as preached and practised in accordance with Sant Mat.
The two volumes of the original work were recently published by us in Hindi, in order to give them a much wider circulation in this country. It is since been Considered necessary essary to publish the book in English, so that satsangis and seekers in the Western World, as well as English - speaking people in India , may also derive from this veritable fountainhead of divine knowledge .
For the Sake of convenience and for easier reading we have divided the two very large original volumes into smaller books. Each of the smaller books is virtually independent of the other, and we hope to presents the entire series of these smaller volumes within a short period of time. The subject of matter is mostly devotional and will appeal directly to the heart of the reader who will , we hope, be induced to follow the various practices and types of discipline described by the author , all of which are considered essentials for a devotee who is following the spiritual path. The reader will realize that it is into possible in a translation to reproduce the remarkably high level of expression of the original work - the terse and forceful style , the clear exposition, and the compact expressive language which were so characteristic of the author. Our principal aim has been to presents the master ‘s Message in Clear and simple language , keeping faithfully to the original meaning . The Fault if many is ours and we ask for the indulgence of the reader for our shortcomings.
It will be found that there is a certain amount of repetition of Ideas and subject matter in almost all the chapters. We have not eliminated these repetitions , but have left them as they appeared in the original in the work . this has been done because it was felt that their elimination would detract too greatly from the forcefulness and fascination of the author’s highly individual and compelling method of expression. I wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to our satsangi brother s and sisters - notably miss Louise Hilger , messrs Joseph Leeming and K.L. Khanna who have helped in the preparation of his book with heir untiring zeal , cooperation and labour of love. They worked hard and spared no pains in making it possible for us to complete this veritable treasure of exquisite knowledge.
