Hinduism tells us that truth is ever triumphant. “Ye shall know the Truth and Truth shall make you free,” promises the Bible. Guru Nanak, too, reminds us that “Truth is the panacea of all ills,” and that “Truth is high but higher still is truthful living.” God's name, according to Sikhi is said to be 'Truth'.

With dedication, for nearly 7 decades, he promoted the message of peace and brotherhood, of equality and compassion, of justice and fairness, of service and prayer (simran), of devotion and of many other valuable traits of the purest human endeavour, which had been forgotten by most of the inhabitants of the world. .....More
