Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh !!

Scholars and Saints

A collection of pictures of the saints and scholars of the Panth - many times these Huge personalities are forgotten or their contribution not recognised - an example of this is the way portraits of the Guru Sahibs ,Shaheeds and political figures can be found in all Gurdwaras and museums - very few have portraits of the Artists and Scholars of the Panth . We should all make an effort to read about and tell others about our great heritage. Please Please add your own pictures - turn this thread into a celebration of our rich heritage ! .
