Preface Of The Book 'Management and Class of Preachers of Indian and Foreign Gurdwaras' By Giani Sant Singh Ji Maskeen

Giani Sant Singh 'Maskeen' is the top most intellectual of Panth (Sikh Religion). He has generated such a resonance of Gur Shabad in India and foreign countries through his discourses and exegesis of Gurbani as many persons, gone astray, have understood the right path and have taken ref­uge at the feet of Guru ji. Gurbani dwells in 'Maskeen ji's' heart and tongue. Whenever he narrates sweet views about Gur-Shabad in the holy congregation, then the congregation becomes spell-bound, watches stop and the feet of travellers come to halt.

'Maskeen ji' has not only narrated religious discourses in the religious congregations, but also he is preaching Gurbani through his unique Gurmat writings. A lot of books written by him have already been published. The book in hand contains the sum and substance of his experiences in connection with Gurmat preaching.

It is a fact that Gurmat is not being discussed in the Gurdwaras and politics is going on. The preachers and the religious singers are also entangled in the whirlpool of money. After observing the state of degeneration on all sides it is but natural for compassionate person like 'Maskeen ji' to be ap­prehensive. He has given the details of these degenerating conditions on the basis of his personal experiences and he has invited the spiritualists and meditators of God's Name to participate in the management of the Gurdwaras.

May Satguru ji be gracious so that the practical task of Gurmat preaching may commence according to the wishes of 'Maskeen ji'. This is my supplication.
