Online Lecture Series
This year marks 50 years since the founding of the Pothohar Association. We had planned a number of events through the year all of which now have to be put on hold.

ਜਿਨੑ ਮਨਿ ਹੋਰੁ ਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਰੁ ਸਿ ਕਾਂਢੇ ਕਚਿਆ ॥੧॥
Those who have one thing in their heart, and something else in their mouth, are judged to be false. ||1||
