When I was confronted by Akal Takhat Jathedar

Takhat Sri Akal Takhat Sahib Jathedar Prof Manjit Singh 1994-1997





My work of digitising Sri Guru Granth sahib was highly publicised globally by Premium News. An article on the cover of Mercury News paper published on 9th sept, 1995 made headline as this paper being the poineer Online Paper and hence the news spread like wild fire making me and my partner  Bhupinder Singh famous in the Sikh world.

As is usual in the Sikh community, a complaint by one Surinder singh of San Jose to Akal Takhat Jathedar Prof Manjit Singh was lodged that by putting the Granth on the computer media will lead to many types of 'Beaddabi' of our most pious Granth which must be treated as embodiment of God himself.
