The Suraj Prakash is a comprehensive historical text, rendered in Braj poetry, covering the lives of the ten Sikh Gurus. It was written by the Great Poet [Mahakavi] Santokh Singh, a learned scholar and exquisite poet who learned from the most important learning institution [Sampradya] at the time, the Giania Bunga in Amritsar. Santokh Singh’s work remains an unparalleled text to this day, and since its creation, it had been mandated to be read across all the Takhts, and this tradition continues till this day at Takht Patna Sahib and Takht Hazur Sahib.

Prior to the Suraj Prakash there was no extensive endeavor to collect the history of all the Sikh Gurus in a single text. The majority of Sikh history in one way or another can be found to have some relation to the Suraj Prakash, making it integral to engage with in an unfiltered manner.

The Suraj Podcast presents uncensored chapter by chapter summaries of the text in a way that has never been done before.
