Sadhu Sundar Singh: Essential Writings

Modern Spiritual Masters profiles spiritual leaders, writers, and activists from the cusp of the twentieth century and into our own time. These figures from many lands and faith traditions offer profound insights into the human, the spiritual, and the divine.

Sundar Singh (1889-1929), an Indian holy man, was raised in a wealthy Sikh family. At sixteen he left his home to live as a sadhu, or wandering holy man. His beggar-like existence, his intense devotion, his mystical encounters with Jesus, and his simple parables became the stuff of legends. His parables and meditations probed the essence of the gospel, calling listeners to awareness and compassion. When he disappeared during a journey to Tibet, millions mourned his passing.
