Veerji/bhainji, it is better to not promote dilgeer. He has now become a very prominent heretic Kala Afghanist spreading much koor. His old books were good, but now he is a totally different man. He does not even beleive in Chaupi Sahib as bani.

I think the English books by Surinder Singh Kohli are pretty good for a Jagiasoo of any level. They are too the point, yet informative and inline with Gurmat.
