A guiding soul

Paperback APJ Abdul Kalam’s book “Guiding Souls” is now available in Urdu



The book cover

After translating some of the famous English and Hindi books into Urdu, Urdu scholar, author and General Secretary of All India Publishers and Book Seller’s Association, S. Zafar Ali, is here again with a new book, “Taggali Rooh”, a n Urdu translation of APJ Abdul Kalam’s famous book “Guiding Souls.”

“When I was given the offer for translating this book into Urdu, I was very excited and impatient. And when I actually started working on it I didn’t find it difficult at all. I have earlier also translated one of his famous books, ‘Who is Kalam’,” said Khan. Based on a conversation between Arun Puri, and APJ Abul Kalam at Rashtrapati Bhavan when Kalam was the President of India, this book raises a question regarding the existence of human being and his soul. To answer the question regarding the logicof life and soul , Kalam has beautifully quoted from Gandhi Dalai Lama, Hazrat Umar Nelson Mandela and Ayarbhatta. A follower of universal religion, he has also taken extracts from the preachings of Guru Nanak and the Buddha. “There are very few individuals in this world who have an intellect like Kalam. In his book he has given an open challenge to humanity and compelled human beings to think about the cause of their existence in this world.”
