By Dr. Paramveer Singh
A Article Preserved in the Legacy of Sant Syed Prithipal Singh Ji
My Meeting with Dr. Paramveer Singh
Written by Giani Daya Pal Singh
In 2022, I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Paramveer Singh at Punjabi University, Patiala. It was a memorable meeting for me because during our conversation we had the opportunity to discuss Sant Syed Prithipal Singh Ji (My Grandfather) and his historical and spiritual work.
Dr. Paramveer Singh already had considerable knowledge about Sant Syed Prithipal Singh Ji. Our conversation therefore became an opportunity to share thoughts and discuss the material, writings and historical interests connected with Sant Syed Prithipal Singh Ji.
A Article Presented to Me
During that meeting, Dr. Paramveer Singh gave me a copy of his Article, Guru Nanak Sahib Da Arab Deshan Da Safarnama.
The Article examines Guru Nanak Sahib’s travels in the Arab lands and forms part of the wider scholarly literature concerning the travels and historical journeys of Guru Nanak Sahib.
Receiving this Article from Dr. Paramveer Singh was particularly meaningful to me because our meeting had also been centred on discussion of Sant Syed Prithipal Singh Ji.
