Im not a hardcore follower of baba mann singh but have to say it was their parchar that got me into sikhi
I used to be a mona, used to drink, smoke and mess around with girls and i remember going with my mum to a diwaan and from that week of going onwards i felt so ashamed everytime i went to the gurdwara. I decided it was my repsonsibility to get into sikhi, kept my kesh and started learning to read paat, the next time baba mann singh came to uk i took amrit and to be honest i've never looked back.
It hurts when i hear or read stuff about them because they changed a paapi like me, which i never thought could have happend.
