Sat Nam, Ji! Welcome! OK, for starters, let's see about getting you in contact with some really cool people in India who can give you some excellent information on good books. You can get on the Internet and go to
www.sikhkaras.com and write Amrit Singh and ask what books he would recommend you get, and how to get them. By the way, he also sells really excellent karas, and will be happy to custom make one for you. I have a couple he did for me, and they are great! He can also give you pointers on wear to get the other Kakkars.

Another individual who can recommend some very good books as well is Ranjit Singh, in California. His phone: 818-982-9670. He sells the karas, as well, and the Kirpans and Khangas. You can also go onto the Internet and get on
www.Sikhnet.com and there are many links to interesting sites there, including various bookstores. You can also get the daily Hukamnama from the Golden Temple on that site- very cool!
Try these for starting out, and enjoy the adventure of discovery!
Wahe Guru,
Kulwant
