| Chhatris Kror - An Unpublished Granth | By Dr. Shiraz Ismail The name Chhatris Kror literally means three hundred and sixty million. It refers to the number of Pir Sadardin's followers out of whom Baar Kror or one hundred and twenty million attained salvation. This granth was composed by Pir Sadardin. It has never been published.

With Mukhi Devraj's death most of the Ginan publishing activities came to a standstill. | Chhatris Kror - An Unpublished Granth | |
