In this brief volume Prem Lal has succeeded in providing access to the spiritual background of the faith held by members of the Ravidassi community. It will be of interest to general enquirers into matters of faith, whatever their background, and an invaluable tool for the more serious student of the ’Gurbani’, the spiritual writings of the Gurus. Readers from within the wider Sikh community will also find an explanation of what makes the Ravidassi faith tradition tick which may help to dispel any misconceptions about this community.At the heart of the book is the personality of Satguru Ravidass Ji who, in his so called lowly occupation as a tanner - a worker in animal hides - has given us spiritual teachings that provide a striking resonance with the essence of the ’Gurbani’. It does not matter how humble the trade or occupation that a person performs, or whatever position or rank they hold within society, all have equal access to Divine Truth and therefore are of equal worth as individuals. Indeed, the words of the ’Gurbani’ in many places give echoes of the teachings of many of the great Faith Leaders of world history, suggesting that there is a basic underlying spirituality that unites us in our common humanity. Leafing through the pages of this book it is this sense of a continuous turning to God, to ultimate Truth, to the source of our Being, that stands out as the fundamental dynamic of human life.
