Sikh History Beautifully Illustrated

At Turiya it is our desire to make Sikh History more accessible to individuals and to encourage them to take control of their learning. We are therefore delighted to be able to offer literature to younger readers in an appealing visual format. Introducing… Khalsa Comics!

We are initially offering a set of 11 graphic novels written by Daljeet Singh priced at £29.99 for the complete set (that’s great value at £2.72 per comic and a wonderful investment in your children’s education). The complete set of comics includes the titles below in a format that is ideal for younger and maturer readers alike!

Every penny from sales goes towards funding our on-going projects to translate ithiaasic granths into English so there is the added bonus of supporting a very worthwhile cause. Turiya also aspires to expand the comics range in the future to include stories of lesser known Heroes of the Panth. We hope that you and your family continue to benefit from these titles and we thank you for your support.
