Dhan Guru te Dhan Guru de Pyare!

great soul...... bhagat puran singh .....
i heard about bhagat ji long time back .... i was a kid when he died...
he was hindu but later adopted sikhism..

In an interview Bhagat Puran Singh discloses how he became a Sikh ,in his early life he use to travel a lot from village to village and would stay at a Hindu Temple. One day when he was staying at a Temple Brahmins told him to clean the temple and then when he was done they sat in front of him and ate the food without offering him., Incidentally next time he had to stay at a Gurdwara and Bhai ji of Gurdwara not only gave him good food but also a cot and a glass of milk afterwards. without asking for any sewa for Gurdwara. After this Bhagat Puran Singh didn't even thought twice and became a Khalsa.

Yea Deep, there's a  book about him called "Garland Around My Neck." It discusses his upbringing in depth.
