Bhai Gurdas (1551-1636), a leading Sikh scholar of early Sikhism, presented a genuine and standardized exposition of Gurbani in his classic and voluminous works Vars and Kabitt Swayyas. His works were blessed with the epithet of "Key to Gurbani", by Guru Arjan Dev himself. These works form a part of accepted Sikh canon and are sung at the Sikh congregations along with Gurbani. 

This book presents the first - ever English translation of Kabitt Swayyas of Bhyai Gurdas to apprise the western audience to this classical interpretation of Sikh theology. The text of the Kabitt Swayyas has also been incorporated in Gurmukhi and Roman scripts to enhance the utility of this important reference work.
