Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Jap Ji Sahib: Manifestations of the Magnificent

Throughout her Paintings Jyotika Sehgal has pursued a constant exploration into the individual self as well as patterns of human existence. In her poetic rendering of the holy text of Jap Ji Sahib of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, she tries to lay open the spiritual, social, and psychological tenets of being human as depicted by the first Guru, the founder of the Sikh Religion. 
As one would expect from the pen of a painter, her lingual renderings are terse, versatile, and inventive, laced with analytical clarity to act as a precursor to her visual rendering of this marvellous text into a set of paintings.
Her multilingual Book, “to reach you, I dream” on the idea of 'Visual Translation of Poetic Texts' was published by the Lecti Book Studio in 2018.
