[QUOTE="Akashdeep Singh, post: 47903, member: 3640"] kds1980, Sat Shri Akaal, My thinking on this is as embedded. To say "mr. ghagha here is going overboard in criticising gyani sant singh maskeen" one would have to disagree to atleast one of the above points mentioned by Prof. Inder Singh Ghagga". So do you think any of the following:-[LIST=1] [*]That Maskeen ji should be called "Brahm Giani" ? [*]That Maskeen was right in deciphering the following line[LIST=1] [*]“Baal kanya ko baap pyara....”[/LIST] [*]That giving Maskeen ji's family lakhs of rupees and Gurudwara Committee property is right and justified. [*]That Maskeen ji should be given a lot of attentions even more than the greats of the likes of Professor Sahib Singh, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Dr. Ganda Singh, S. Narain Singh (Guru Nanak Mission, Patiala) and others. [*]That his praise of nakedness and wrong usage of Gurbani to provide instances was right. [*]That his extra focus on Dasam Granth was right and justified. [*]That angels did come to listen to his lectures and they were visible only to Maskeen ji. [*]That asking UK management to stop recording Maskeen ji was doing some devine work and not escaping being recorded not talking "majority" pleasing language. [*]That the management of our Gurudwaras should be given back to Nirmaliya Sect. [*]...............[/LIST]I think it would be better to request you the points in the article from Prof. Inder Singh Ghagga that you disagree to, so please point some points that you think Sant Maskeen was right in doing so and Prof. Inder Singh Ghagga is crying wolf. Also, I request you to mention why you disagree and we shall discuss that further. I will be listening to all the lectures from Sant Maskeen ji and will try to note down the points from his lectures [might take some time to accomplish this]. I request you to listen to all his lectures as well so that we can discuss them. My thinking till now is that Maskeen ji was simply doing what an intelligent businessmen would do - [B]target the market with greater potential[/B].
