This book is a collection of hymns composed by different mystics — Soami Ji Maharaj, Guru Arjun Dev, Sant Kabir, Sant Ravidas, Mirabai, Jagjivanji Sahib, Sain Bulleh Shah and many others. These hymns have been selected because of their devotional nature. This anthology was originally published in the Indian languages as Benti aur Prarthna ke Shabd. This English translation of the shabds contains the original text in Devnagri script as well as its transliteration into Roman for those who are familiar with the original language but cannot read the script.
