Prof Panditrao Dharennavar visited Dera Sacha Sauda and wrote a letter to Ram Rahim Singh in which he asked Dera to teach Punjabi rather than giving illegal training to youth.

Preach Punjabi or Perish: Prof Panditrao tells Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa!

High Court recently observed that the illegal activities going on in the Dera. Panditrao himself visited nearby villages and taught Punjabi to children and convinced people to follow Sri Guru Granth Saheb, Sri Bhagavad Geeta, Holy Bible, Kuran Sharif. Panditrao urges people to follow the philosophy of Sri Guru Granth Saheb, Sri Bhagwad Geeta, Holy Bible, Holy Quran, instead of falling into the preys of Deras. He tried to convince people and corrects their framework of mindset. His efforts in educating minds are commendable!

Preach Punjabi or Perish: Prof Panditrao tells Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa!

Prof Panditrao’s Never Ending Faith in Sikhism makes travel places to quit Dera in the name of spirituality and surrender yourself solely to the holy texts. We salute his contribution in transforming young minds with his highly impressionable views and take on following the correct spiritual path.
