DearDr Harbhajan Singh ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa. Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
It was most kind of you to take my call last evening and confirm the university's decision to confer Honorary Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (honoris causa) on:
The Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogi Ji.
(That is eleven words. The person who had conquered his ago used only one word in his name - Nanak)
I was encouraged to hear from you that you would like me to send to you the material that supports my contention that your university should not confer this or any other degree on this person. It is bad enough that a centre of leaning named after the greatest religious teacher, thinker, philosopher, and prophet that the world has ever known succumbed to the political pressures and offended the sensitivities of the entire Sikh Qaum by creating "Satguru' Ram Singh Chair, but to compound it by another affront by honouring this man with an honorary degree will further lower the image and the prestige of the university. We hope and pray that one day when Sikhs come to political power in Panjab and Sikh institutions of SGPC and SAD come once again under the control of Gursikhs, 'Salguru' Ram Singh Chair will be abolished and replaced by a chair honouring a true modern day Gursikh exponent of Nanak's teachings.
In the light of this information supplied to you, whether you decide to reverse your decision to confer this degree on this man or not, for the Sikh Qaum it will be a win win situation. Your decision will determine whether the truth sees light of the day before or after he goes to his grave and in his own words creates a place to spit:
"Let the place be built to the beauty that there shall be nothing in the world which can even try to equal it. Do not gold plate it. Put the very bricks of the gold. Somebody was telling me that soft gold gets taken away. I said, "Well, blessed are those feet which will take it away." They said, "What will you do then?" I said, "We'll replace it, it takes very easy." Build a befitting glory to the throne of Guru Ram Das and the day you shall complete, that day you and your generations shall rule the planet earth. If it comes not true, wherever my ashes are, spit at it".
Mr. Gurcharan Singh Tohra has already guaranteed his place in the Sikh Hall of Shame, among other things, by extending to this man the respectability and credibility that he did not deserve. Bhai Jiwan Singh of Akhand Kirtani Jatha and his associate from the same Jatha, S, Ripudaman Singh Malik (now himself in Canadian Jail), are responsible for keeping him out of jail. From now on the Sikhs in Diaspora will not allow these unholy alliances in the name of Sikhi, where the watch word is, 'you scratch my back and I will scratch yours', to flourish.
In the recent past I have seen pictures of Yogi hobnobbing with Dr. Jasbir Singh Ahluwalia, Vice Chancellor of Panjabi University, Patiala. Dr. Balkar Singh of that university has accepted the employment of yogi thus demeaning himself and losing his credibility. You have my permission to share this information with your colleague so that he and that university Senate are spared the embarrassment of 'lizard in snake's mouth'.
Bhajan Yogi is very good at what he is and what he does. Sikhi is not it.
Gur Fateh. Yours in Guru Seva
Hardev Singh Shergill.
