[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 107578, member: 138"] Dr. D. P. Singh ji, Guru Fateh. Great article as usual, however I am a bit puzzled by your assertion in the following, especially the vegetarian diet: Can you please elaborate with examples from SGGS to clarify what you really mean and secondly, please check the interpretation from Prof. Sahib Singh to make sure it conveys the right message from Gurbani?
