Guru Granth Sahib Academy
Having moved from Punjab to Canada he has busied himself by founding, in the first floor of the large home he is building, the Guru Granth Sahib Academy ggsacademy.com. In a recent article featured on sikhchic.com, by the wordsmith T. Sher Singh, Singh describes his joy over finding out that the former Jathedar, raagi and Sikhi Pracharak, who he had admired for a long time, in his words, “for his spirituality and intellectual discourse has moved from Punjab, crossed the proverbial Seven Seas, and plunked himself down in a quiet rural community…”. Besides teaching classes on the interpretation of bani in person and over the internet, he and the jatha he leads, perform in a small hall on the first floor each friday night and saturday mornings. More information can be found here. [4]
Words such as; Gem, source of inspiration, lighthouse of Sikhi, 'icon', Panth Ratan" are used to describe Prof. Darshan Singh Khalsa in the comments written in response to Singh's article.
One person, who gives his name as Rajinder (from San Francisco, U.S.A.), reminds us that (after the invasion of the Harmandir Sahib in 1984) when every politician, intellectual and gyani decided to keep quiet to save themselves from persecution by the Goverment of India, Prof. Darshan Singh stood tall and sang a very emotional shabad, "Jab baan lagyo, tabe ros jagyo" , in New Delhi.
