Kamlakkapur

Awakening with Nanak

Awakening with Nanak

HarperCollins India, 2026

by Kamla K. Kapur (Author)

A spiritual companion for what it means to be fully human, wide awake, and held by something greater than ourselves — Kamla K. Kapur turns to Guru Nanak’s teachings not as fixed doctrine, but as sustenance for daily life.

About Book

  • Journeys into the heart of Guru Nanak’s teachings as lived wisdom rather than religious instruction
  • Blends lyrical memoir, philosophical inquiry, and the devotional language of the Sikh Guru
  • Offers reflections, kirtan-inspired reveries, and searching questions that trace a spiral path toward awakening

 

Written with the ease of long familiarity and yet a genuine reverence, Kapur offers a deeply personal conversation with the Divine — one carried out amid suffering, surrender, and joy rather than around them.

She takes up Guru Nanak’s idea of life as an atam tirath, an inward pilgrimage, and lets that image shape the whole book: each chapter becomes a step along the way, marked by inner shifts, hard-won realizations, and moments of unexpected clarity.

The result is a book full of raw honesty, humor, heartbreak, and quiet devotion — an invitation to meet yourself truthfully, tenderly, and in the light of a love larger than the self.
