I just finished translating the rest of season (rut) 1 of Guru Gobind Singh's stories within [[Suraj]] Prakash for the [Suraj Podcast](www.surajpodcast.com). In the second last chapter, Chapter 50, Bhai Vir Singh adds a footnote on the line which describes Guru Gobind Singh consuming cannabis (ironically in the green font below). He ends the footnote with a comment on Nihangs - "It is sad that this cannabis has proceeded to cause great damage to the stoic and powerful sampradaya of the Nihang Singhs." However, nearly hundred years after these comments Nihang Singhs have expanded their presence not only in Punjab but throughout the diaspora. ![[vir singh nihang .jpg]]
