I agree with T. Sher Singh ('Tirade Against 3HO Unwarranted, Feb.20) to some extent. Whenever there are personal issues involved ('Lapis, Carnelian and Jade', Feb.18) then one can't stay objective. I admire Kamalla's writing and wish her best of luck in recovering from the personal grief during her stay at 3HO.

For the rest of us, running to judge others is against the basic principal of Sikhi. This doesn't mean that calling a spade a spade and exposing the dubious characters at any level of social or any other hierarchy is unacceptable. But we daily pray "Remember O' Khalsa the sacrifice of those who saw it but chose to ignore it - "Dekh ke Undith Keeta" - and here some good intentioned Sikhs seem to be jumping to conclusions without checking the facts on their own and feeling glorified ("Undekhia dith keeta").

I am no fan of Yogi Bhajan or any one else who deviates from the clear-cut message of Sikhi, but I don't blame one person for the wrong to an entire group of people. If this is so then who stopped those intelligent individuals from investigating the core of Sikhi on their own to contradict their leaders and leave before someone comes and threatens as it is alleged. We are all at fault but blaming others is a weaker instinct. May God provide the strength to all and wish the best to all of humanity.
