English: Portrait of Bhai Sant Singh Giani of the Gianian Bunga [alt. known as 'Bunga Giania' or 'Gianian Da Bunga']. He was the teacher of Kavi Santokh Singh.
Published with the following accompanying caption in the book, written in Punjabi (in Gurmukhi):
Rough translation: "Shri Maan Bhai Sant Singh Ji Gyani / who was the chief Gyani of Sri Harimandar Sahib Amritsar and from whom the great poet Bhai Santokh Singh Ji received Viya."
The 8th head of the Giania Bunga, a learning institution emerging from Bhai Mani Singh Shahid, also claimed as the head of the Damdami Taksal, wrote an extraordinary commentary of Tulsidas' Ramacharitmanas in the 1820s.
Giani Sant Singh's breadth of knowledge is impressive, quoting widely from, Vishnu, Shiv, Markandey Puranas, Valmiki Ramayana, Bhagavad Purana, to the Upanishads and the Guru Granth Sahib.
