The raagi retorted: “Now you are talking. Where have you been before? You should be introverted. Look what you did. I will complete my duty now, and will never go to Indore again… If I am wrong, God will punish me. If you are wrong, Guru Nanak is watching. “

The organizer then asked him to continue with jaikara, The Sikh religion is called “Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal”.
