Some quotes concerning 'The Game of Love' below.
'These verses in translation communicate clearly and simply and, in these turbulent and complex times, they will help to bring the Sikh Gurus' insights to a wider public. So far the Sikh scriptures have been almost as unknown to the world in general as they might have been if the script had been forgotten! The authors are to be commended on their selection and on their efforts to share these hymns more widely.'
Dr Eleanor Nesbitt, Senior Lecturer in Religions and Education, Institute of Education, University of Warwick.
`In this precious volume Dr. Kanwar Ranvir Singh and Jatinder Singh have done a service that is much needed in our 21st century world. The Shabad Guru is the most healing balm and the purest of Truths that is so much needed by all of humanity living in our hectic and threatening modern environment. They have translated the poems of the Shabd Guru into simple, beautiful, accurate and direct English that goes straight to the heart and soul of the reader. This is no small feat. Although the Gurbani of the original poems has been translated many times before, most of these translations only hint at the depth, clarity and simplicity of the originals. Any act of translation is an act of great courage. Even the best of translations are like kissing one's beloved through a veil. The kiss is there, but the veil is always in the way - keeping us from the direct touch of the real thing. It is the job of the translator to make the veil as thin as possible, knowing that it will always be there. After that comes only the prayer that the reader will be blessed by the kiss of the original Gurbani. Dr. Kanwar Ranvir Singh and Jatinder Singh have made that veil very thin indeed, and for their work, which shows both great skill and deep heart, I am very grateful to God almighty for this accomplishment.'
Siri Sardarni Bibiji Inderjit Kaur, Bhai Sahiba - Chief Religious Minister, Sikh Dharma of the Western Hemisphere.
`These are great selections from the Guru Granth. Very inspiring.'
James Bean, Host of the radio program "Spiritual Awakening"
`Jatinder and Kanwar Ranvir have, thankfully, presented translations in simple and modern day English, so that the reader can dwell further on the significance of each shabad (Sikh spiritual poem within Gurbani). I commend them and hope that their effort does not just stop here.'
Dya Singh (Australia), World Music Group.
