Dr Jaspal Singh, Vice-Chancellor, Punjabi University, Patiala, knew about Giani Gurdit Singh’s work long before he met Giani ji at New Delhi where Giani ji lived in the early 1980s. Dr Jaspal Singh wrote a message for the book Giani Gurdit Singh: 1923-2007. Please click here to read more.

The Governor of Tamil Nadu, Mr Surjit Singh Barnala, had a long association with Giani Gurdit Singh ji. Such a modest and cultured man is he that he himself called Sardarni Inderjit Kaur and said: “Sardarni Sahiba, this is Surjit Singh.” No aides, no PAs or Secretaries. The message reveals as much about its author as it does to the person it is dedicated to. Please click here to read it.
