Essential Sikh Yoga

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

I'd just like to remind everyone that although all may not agree on Guru Fatha

Singh Ji's

choice of words, he has put forth an exceptional effort and a great deal of time

to create a

Wikipedia bio which presents the Siri Singh Sahib Ji with positivity and

reverence.

 

He was called to do so by some of us who had noticed that the previous Wikipedia

bio of

Siri Singh Sahib Ji was presented with negativity, inaccuracy and controversy

using

references from sources which have no credibility.

 

I believe that the majority of the people who are upset by the current bio,

probably did

not read the previous bio. Disagreements aside, let us be grateful for Guru

Fatha Singh's

noble intentions and commendable efforts.

 

Humbly,

Akal Sahai Singh
