Please stop giving wrong information to public. I think it is moral duty of Sikh 24 check some basic facts before publishing Please tell me and everyone else concerned where did Guru Gobind Singh Ji dictated this so called Dasam Granth this name did not even exist in his life time. It’s initial name was bachittar natak .
Biggest joke on Sikh Religion. Sikhs should sit down and read Guru Granth sahib ji . One will find out going to any so called religious building is not a path to salvation. This so called Hemkunt is against all the teachings of sikhism. The so called yogi ism, going to off track places is prohibited in our religion. Please wake up, instead of wasting your time energy and money utilise the same to feed some hungry person or educate a poor kid take care of your relatives ettc.
