SUMMARY OF GIRBHAWALI (NANI)
INTRODUCTION
The granth “GIRBHAWALI” is attributed to “PIR SADARDIN” and it has two versions a small one which is known as “GIRBHAWALI NANI” and an extended one which is known as “GIRBHAWALI MOTI”.”GIRBHAWALI NANI” contains a conversation between “Ishwar and parwati” (two Hindu deities) regarding the topic of creation.
Actually in this ginan the Ishwar is a metaphorical character representing the Imam and Parwati is a figurative character denoting the personality of the pir. There are different languages used in this ginan like (Sanskrit, Prakrit, Hindi etc).This granth has been published in both Khojki and Guajarati language by “MUKHI LALJI DEVRAJ” through “ISMAILI ASSOCIATION (recreation club) INDIA” but it’s translation has never been published by any missionary or by any ismaili tariqah board since the time when it was first written because the languages used in this granth are extremely difficult.
Although there are several commentaries on this granth by different missionaries but none of the Ismaili missionary gave a proper translation. Even “MISSIONARY BHAGHAT KARA RUDA” only gave a small commentary on it. Moreover it seems that the translation of this granth will never get published because as the time is passing away all the missionaries who had some knowledge regarding this granth are also passing away.
This is the reason i have tried to summarized the translation of this granth so that this masterpiece of “PIR SADARDIN” does not get disappear from among the collection of ismaili ginans.
