Religion, Faith, Spirituality / Self Percept (Atam Updesh)
« on: July 16, 2011, 08:46:52 PM »
Sant Isher Singh ji (Rara Sahib)



Why are you so engrossed in worries? Why are you afraid of some one? Who may kill you? The soul is immortal; it neither dies nor takes birth.
The present is here and now, the past is irrecoverable and the future will be good. Don't fret over the past and don't be worried about the future. The present is going on.

Why do you cry? What did you lose? When you were born, what did you bring along, which has been lost? What did you produce which has been perished? It is here that you gained and it is here that you lose. The man comes to; and goes from world, empty handed.

What you own today was not yours yesterday and will not be yours tomorrow. It does not and will not belong to anyone. You consider it your own and rejoice. This happiness of possession leads you to utter grief.

Yours is this world. Start from where you feel to; stay where you desire and wind up where you want to. It has no beginning and no end. You don't fear anyone, but yourself. You are the fright and also the frightened.

Change is the truth of life. What you consider as death is life in reality. In a moment a multi-millionaire is turned pauper. Give up the feeling of possession, great & the mean; differentiation of friend & foe. Then all is yours and you for everyone. Your corporeal being is a product of air, water, fire ,sky and earth and it merges into the same leaving behind neither blood nor bones. Still yours existence remains the same. Then ponder over what you are.

Wake up! and become the eternal sons of the Almighty. You are the great and unique manifestation of Nature's power. All the divine powers are possessed by you, like a tree hidden in the seed.

In fact you don't fear anybody; you don't have any worry, suspicion, pain or grief. You are His dear ones. Surrender yourself completely to Him.

Always, remember the "Waheguru

The great towering personality who changed the course of life of Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji Pehowa Wale was Sant Isher Singh Ji Maharaj of Rara Sahib.

Sant Isher Singh Ji was born on 5th August 1905, in Alowal, a village near Patiala, in the family of Baba Ram Singh Ji, who was the head of that village. Baba Ram Singh Ji,was always yearning for the company of saints. Incidentally there came a saint to that village who while leaving, gave a rose to Baba Ram Singh Ji and blessed him that he would have a son who would be worshipped by the rulers and kings. After sometime, a son named Sant Isher Singh Ji was born and was taken to the Gurudwara. After seeing Sant Ji's hand, a pandit had made a horoscope and was aghast by seeing the 'an eye' like symbol in the sole of his foot. The symbol was read as a sign of being a great spiritual head or a king. Also, after the birth of Sant Isher Singh Ji, his father Baba Ram Singh Ji, started getting more and more respect and importance in society.

Baba Ram Singh Ji was very keen in giving a good education to his son. After finishing primary education, Sant Isher Singh Ji was sent to Model School Patiala, a rare thing back in those days. Sant Isher Singh Ji did exceedingly well in school, and was an outstanding student in every field: games, studies, social work etc. All this made Sant Isher Singh Ji's personality very outstanding.

Sant Isher Singh Ji was always in search of the 'Truth'. Eventually he started going to the Gurudwara in the mornings and evenings and also started doing 'Kirtan'. Sant Ji then got the privilege of being in the company of Sant Atter Singh Ji, Mastuana Sahib and Sant Attar Singh Ji, Reru Sahib Wale. Later Sant Isher Singh Ji went to Sant Attar Singh Ji Reru Sahib Wale with S. Hira Singh Ji where he was bestowed with 'Amrit' and was blessed that he would go a long way in the search of 'Truth'. Sant Isher Singh Ji returned back to Patiala with a totally changed personality. In July, 1922, Sant Isher Singh Ji left home and got totally involved in looking after Sant Attar Singh Ji, at Reru Sahib. After a short time, Sant Kishen Singh Ji joined Sant Isher Singh Ji to look after and to serve their 'Guru' Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji. Since then, both Sant Isher Singh Ji and Sant Kishen Singh Ji remained together.

The two principles that Sant Attar Singh Ji gave to Sant Isher Singh Ji and to Sant Kishen Singh Ji were:

1.) To be a firm believer of "Atam Marg" (the spiritual path), and to constantly practice and preach 'Nam'.

2.) To be always upright and never to beg for anything.

Soon Sant Attar Singh Ji, Reru Sahib Wale, demised from this world. His two young students Sant Isher Singh Ji & Sant Kishen Singh Ji moved out of Reru Sahib and came near Rara Sahib in a small jungle. They both started meditating and their 'samadhi' would last for hours starting from midnight. Since this was a very tough practice of the long sittings of meditation that Sant Isher Singh Ji's health started deteriorating and he became very weak. He was then taken to Delhi where Dr. Mukherjee treated him and S. Mohan Singh looked after him. Gradually Sant Isher Singh Ji started recovering and came back to Rara Sahib and started accompanying Sant Kishen Singh Ji.

In Rara Sahib, Sant Isher Singh Ji got immersed in deeper and deeper 'sadhana'. More and more people joined the building of a Gurudwara for Sant Ji. Then Sant Kishan Singh Ji was responsible for looking after the entire Gurudwara set up: Langar, buffaloes, cows, schools etc. and Sant Isher Singh Ji was responsible for going from place to place in India and abroad doing Kirtan, answering the questions of the 'Sadhaks' and preaching Guru Nanak's teachings. He changed thousands of people's lives and there are plenty of incidents that seem to prove this. After doing all this, Sant Isher Singh Ji, laid off his body in England on 25th August 1975.

At the age of 16 a student went to Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji, gradually becoming his closest associate. This student has also touched the same pinnacles of spiritual heights like his mentor, Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji. That student is today known to the whole world as Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji Pehowa Wale, whom has dedicated himself in currently preaching Guru Nanak Dev Ji's message to the world.

Religion, Faith, Spirituality / Gurdwara Reetha Sahib
« on: July 15, 2011, 08:48:25 PM »
Gurdwara Reetha Sahib is only 60 kms. by flying distance north of Nanak Mata, but the distance by motorable road is 209 kms. It is 166 kms. from Tanakpur, the last railway station on Bareilly-Tanakpur section. Here, too, Guru Nanak Dev had an encounter with Nath yogis whom he tried to bring to the path of active humanitarian service along with remembrance of God's Name. The story is not mentioned in the Janamsakhis, but locally a strong tradition has grown that Guru Nanak Dev miraculously made the normally bitter fruit of a soapnut tree sweet for Bhai Mardana to feed on.

A soapnut tree (not the original one) is still here and pilgrims are given prasad of sweet soapnuts. However, the common belief that the nuts of only the one branch, under which the Guru had sat, are sweet is not true. Nor are all the nuts given as prasad from this one tree. About ten kilometers from the Grudwara, there is a tract of land where such trees are grown and their fruit is collected and brought to replenish the Gurdwara's stock of prasad. It is called Nanak Bagichi (lit. Nanak's garden).

 GURUDWARA SHRI BABA BANDA SINGH JI BAHADUR SAHIB is situated in the Chapar Chiri Village of SAS NAGAR(Mohali) Distt. When SHRI GURU GOBIND SINGH JI sent BABA BANDA SINGH JI BAHADUR to attack the Sirhind, He started uniting Sikhs near Banoor.

Preparation of attack on Sirhind - BABA BANDA SINGH BAHADUR

Singhs who were getting together at KIRATPUR SAHIB. The news of their getting together & their plan to move towards Sirhind, made Wazir Khan have sleepless nights. He made his best efforts not to let both the Singh teams meet. Sher Muhammed Khan of Malerkotla was sent to stop the Singhs from KIRATPUR SAHIB to move forward. Nawab had his brother Khijaar Khan, 2 nephews & Wali Muhammed along with him. Apart from the Malerkotias, he had Rangadhs from Ropar & some troops from Sirhind along with him. On the other side, the Sikh count was very less in comparison. They didn't even had guns for all. Both the armies had a battle near Ropar. The battle went on for whole day. The Singhs fought very bravely but by the evening it felt as if Sher Muhammed Khan would win. At night, one more team of Singhs came. The next morning, Shah Khijjar Khan attacked. He kept on moving forward. Both the armies came so near that they started to fight hand in hand. Singhs made good use of swords. Khijjar Khan asked the Singhs to throw their weapons away but at that point only, a bullet struck his chest which laid him sleep to death forever. On seeing Khijjar fall, the Pathans started running. Sher Muhammed Khan himself came ahead along with his nephews who wanted to pick up the dead body of their father but the Singhs made their way to heaven too. Sher Muhammed Khan aslo got injured. The Mughal army ran away instantly. This way the battle was in Singhs hands. The Singhs thought not to waste any time & started to move towards the north in order to meet BABA BANDA SINGH JI's team. On the other hand, BABA BANDA SINGH was coming towards them. At that time, BABA JI had won over Banur. Here only he got the news of the KIRATPUR Singhs win. He started to move forward to welcome them. On the road leading from Ambala to Ropar, in the midway of Kharar & Banur, both the teams of the Singhs met. The Singhs celebrated a lot. Krah Parshaad was served in abundance. Now Singhs started moving towards GURU MAARI Sirhind. The horrible incidence of younger SAHIBJADA's martyrdom once again came in front of them. Their hearts were filled with a feeling of revenge. Wajir Khan got terrified on seeing the prperation of the Singhs. He got a inner feeling that even the Royal army would not be able to save Sirhind. He sent 1000 men along with the wicked Sucha Nand's nephew & asked him to join the Singhs & if possible he should kill BANDA SINGH. When the battle starts, he should join back to the Royal army. This way the Sikhs would be disappointed.

Wajir Khan's Preparation:- Wajir Khan made all endeavors to prepare for the battle. He called all his friends & Kings he knew. They raised slogans of Jehaad following which the armies going far & near & crowds of Gazis gathered near Wajir Khan. He collected huge amount of lead & gun powder. Cannons & Elephants were also brought. Like this, with a army of approximately 20,000 & some Gazis, Wajir Khan started to move in order to stop the Singhs. On the other hand, Singh count was less in comparison. They also didn't had any cannons or weapons with them. The horses were also less. But they had inevitable faith in WAHEGURU. The Martyrdom of the young Sahibjada's was creating a desire in them for a religious battle. BABA BANDA SINGH JI ordered Sardar Baaj Singh , Sardar Fateh Singh etc. to catch hold of Wajir Khan whichever way possible & the Muslims who give in & the Hindus who captulate, they should be spared rest whoever shows antipathy should be offered to sword.

On 12th May 1710, both the armies battled on the grounds of Chappar Chirhi. On 13 Jeth 1767 Bikrami, the military command of the Singhs was in the custody of Bhai Fateh Singh, Baaj Singh, Dharam Singh, Aali Singh & Shaam Singh. In order to keep an eye on the army's movement & to order them, BANDA SINGH sat on a hillock. There was a powerful attack from both sides. The crackling sound from the cannons made the skies shiver. The bandits & robberers who had joined the Singhs with a motive of robbery, ran away once the battle started. Sucha Nand's nephew, along with his 1000 companions, left the association of the Singhs. It felt as if the Muslims would be a strong side. BABA JI himself took the custody of the military command. He tamed the fugitives & attacked the elephants. The elephants ran backwards along with the Mughal Leaders. In this stampede, Sher Muhammed Khan & Khwaja Ali Malerkotia died. Wajir Khan challenged Baaj Singh. Baaj Singh bounced towards Wajir Khan, snached his spear & hit it on his horse's head. On the other hand Bhai Fateh Singh hit Wajir Khan's armour with such bravery & force that the sword went piercing from his shoulders to his waist & Wajir Khan died as a result of his Sins. Following his death, the Mughal army ran away. On 17th May 1710 the victorious Singhs captured Sirhind.

Religion, Faith, Spirituality / Gurdwara Mehdiana Sahib
« on: July 15, 2011, 10:57:39 AM »
Gurdwara Mehdiana Sahib is situated in the village of Mehdiana, Teh Jagraon District Ludhiana. Guru Gobind Singh Ji came here while traveling across the Malwa region. During the Mughal rule, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji while delighting the followers of Raikot, Lamme Jattpure & Maanke village, reached Mehdiana Dhaab (A natural water reservoir) and stopped to look at the holy water of the Dhaab. The nearest habitation was 2-3 miles away. At this Dhaab, Guru Gobind Singh Ji & the followers did Daatan (Piece of a twig of tree used as tooth brush) and took baths. Then the Dasvin Guru began his morning's meditation. Bhai Daya Singh Ji asked his Guru that as the Singhs and their families were now parted, what would be the next step they should take.

Guru Sahib instantly put the Teg on his chest and said, "Bhai Daya Singh I have returned the Debt and have become victorious."

Guru Sahib Ji answered Bhai Daya Singh's question with humbleness saying, "Singh and Tiger are king of the same jungle. Singhs should keep faith in Almighty." Bhai Daya Singh Ji again requested Guru Ji on behalf of all the Sikh followers to which Guru Gobind Singh Ji humbly said:

    "Singho Dhaende Desh Da Jadon Sahara Nahin Si Udo Pita Nu Desh Te Variya Main|
    Mata Gujri Sirhind De Vich Gujri Sama Gujareya Jiven Gujareya Main|
    Char Puttar San bakshe Parmatma Ne Oh Vi Joda Joda Kar Ke Variya Main|
    Mainu Shahenshaw Na Tusi Kaho Singho Kishtan naal Hai Karza Utareya Main|"
    Sangat is bigger than Guru".
    Sent father to Delhi on Kashmiri Pandits plea,
    then on Sangat's request left Anandpur Sahib,
    left Chamkaur Garhi on Sangat's request,
    now you are asking me on Sangat's behalf.

It was evening by the time the discussions were going on and on Sangat's request, he prepared his mind to begin writing the Zafarnama. There was no place to stay on the Dhaab, so Guru Sahib went to village Chakkar. The next day going via village Takhtupura, village Madhe and village Deena Sahib, he made his mind to stay with Lakhmir and Shamir. Here he wrote the Zafarnama and sent it to Auranzeb in Aurangabad in the hands of Bhai Daya Singh and Bhai Dharam Singh. This place has Guru Ji's blessing, so whoever comes here with a wish, his prayer doesn't go unanswered.

The gurdwara is built in the memory of Guru Gobind Singh who while being hunted by the armies of the Mughal dynasty, had after the Martyrdom of his sons and mother, posed as a Muslim Pir. Reaching safety the Guru travelled on horseback through Roykot, Jatpure and Manuke until he reached Mehdiana. Impressed by the beauty of Mehdiana and the pure water of its pond he decided to rest there for a few days.

A few years ago the Mehdiana complex looked like a forest with dense trees and bushes growing all around the place of worship. The gurdwara was not developed and maintained properly and there was no habitation within a distance of two to three miles. Later Jathedar Jora Singh Lakha took the responsibility for its development and made Mehdiana Sahib a popular destination for pilgrims. In 1972, when Lakha started the work, only a few acres were attached to the gurdwara but slowly the gurdwara complex covered 25 acres.

Besides all the statuary adorning the Gurwara, there are the nearby sculptures and statues of Sikh warriors who not only laid their lives for the sake of the religion but also endured torture at the hands of the Mughals. These statues depict soldiers, women and children being cut to pieces. Some sculptures show Bahi Kanya, one of the soldiers of Guru Gobind Singh, serving water not only to the wounded soldiers in their own army but also to wounded enemy soldiers. Through these sculptures Lakha not only aimed to depict history but also to educate people that religion was more important than their lives. He felt it was better to sacrifice one's life than to accept injustice and cruelty and lose one's self-respect.

Lakha has tried to show that the Sikh religion was born from the sacrifices of our ancestors and that religion should not be taken for granted. The importance of preserving one's self respect and the triumph of good over evil have been beautifully depicted in the sculptures and paintings.

The gurdwara is a fine specimen of Sikh architecture. Crores of rupees have been spent on its construction. Exquisite meenakari work can be seen here. On the door of the eighth floor of the building is engraved the picture of Bhai Gurdas who is dictating the bagtan di bani to the fifth guru. On the walls of the gurdwara are engraved the pictures of Guru Gobind Singh's miracles along with his hymns and on the main door is shown Bhai Daya Singh Hura holding the horse of the Guru. Inside the main building of gurdwara a beautifully decorated Guru Granth Sahib is Around 500 children from surrounding villages come in this school. To the right of the gurdwara building is a museum which houses beautiful paintings depicting the journey of Guru Gobind Singh from Patna to Anandpur Sahib.

Baba Isher Singh Ji was born in the village of Jhorran, Tehsil Jagraon, district Ludhiana on March 26, 1916 to the respected S. Bagga Singh Ji and Shm. Partap Kaur Ji. From birth Baba Ji’s soul merged with a higher spirituality and continuously mediated with a merciful, peaceful heart that was imbued with an unparalleled spiritual energy bestowed on his shoulders by Akal Purakh himself.

Baba Isher Singh Ji had four brothers and two sisters and from his earliest childhood he would not waste a breath talking or playing like other children. Instead he focused on a deeper, more superior existence, devoting his deeds to a lifestyle founded by Guru Nanak Sahib. From the earliest age, Baba Ji would assemble children of the same age and partake in spiritual discussions and the recitation of Gurbani and Path. When a little older, Baba Ji started helping his mother and father in running the household and performed traditional agricultural work but would forever attune his concentration to the intoxicating ambrosial nectar of Naam Simran to complete his tasks.

Throughout his childhood, Baba Isher Singh Ji continued to share his divine insights with local residents and worked rigorously to provide earnings, food and belongings to all in sight. Baba Ji saw God’s light in all, and forever yearned to be in the presence and sewa of a true GurSikh/Brahmgiani.

In 1929, Baba Nand Singh Ji of Nanaksar-Kaleran came to Village Jhorran to continue his Amrit Sanchar. It was during this visit that the inevitable destiny sent from the heavens took action to merge the paths of these two great saints. This initial visit was of an angelic nature. Baba Nand Singh Ji saw the light of Sikhi shine in the younger Baba Isher Singh Ji and instantly commenced his praise of the young saint. While residing at Village Jhorran, Baba Nand Singh Ji remarked that he needed a chief attendant who was young, pious and of a religious disposition from that village. He further added that the attendant should be a man of firm determination and capable of entertaining the fear and anger of the Master as well as love for him.

After this, Baba Isher Singh Ji resumed his duties to his family but increased his longing for Service and Simran. After their work on the family lands, each of Baba Ji’s brothers was granted a reward for their service in harvesting the wheat crop. However, Baba Ji used his entire share in preparing Parshad for the offering of Baba Nand Singh Ji at Nanaksar-Kaleran.

A short time passed during which time Baba Isher Singh Ji longed to devote his existence solely to the word of Guru Nanak Sahib. His ardas and prayers were answered when Baba Nand Singh Ji asked Baba Ji’s mother “how many sons do you have” to which she replied “five.” Immediately Baba Nand Singh Ji questioned whether she could “spare one for sewa” to which she affirmatively replied in hukam.

It was at this point that Baba Nand Singh Ji changed Baba Ji’s name from Inder Singh to Isher Singh. Baba Nand Singh Ji noted that the name of Inder denotes worldly grandeur and was unsuitable as Isher symbolizes one who’s everlastingly in touch with the Supreme Lord.

From this moment onwards, Baba Isher Singh Ji served as the most devoted Gurmukh Sewadar (personal attendant) to Baba Nand Singh Ji. Baba Ji’s sewa and responsibilities increased rapidly and at the mere age of 27, Baba Isher Singh Ji became the Hazoori (chief) Sewadar. Baba Ji’s soul was abundant in Naam Simran and he used this undying commitment to serve Baba Nand Singh Ji with an unmatched devotion. Baba Ji was always attentive while on duty as the Hazoori Sewadar and he performed his sewa through treacherous domains barefoot in the worst conditions without ever uttering a single complaint. He sacrificed all personal comforts and never sat or slept while on duty.

Before Baba Nand Singh Ji went to his heavenly abode in 1943, he assembled his closest sewadars (associates) and uttered that Baba Isher Singh Ji had performed perfect sewa and was the only one entrusted to take the mission of Guru Nanak Sahib further. Baba Nand Singh Ji instructed them to show the utmost respect to Baba Isher Singh Ji in the future. Upon Baba Nand Singh Ji’s departure to heaven, Baba Ji could not bear the separation and returned to a place outside of Village Jhorran and devoted himself to seven years of continuous recitations of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Without the presence of a true master, Nanaksar turned into a different place. Initially, Baba Ji had no desire to occupy the location due to the misuse it encountered at the hands of selfish and irresponsible people. Furthermore, the sacred system of worship imprinted by Baba Nand Singh Ji had been tarnished by wrongdoers. In response to the decline of the shrine, humble devotees congregated at Village Jhorran to earnestly request Baba Ji to restore the sanctity of the holy place as it had become uncontrollable.

Baba Isher Singh Ji, acting on a heavenly message from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, moved to Nanaksar together with his devotees in the summer of 1950. The news quickly spread throughout Punjab and India that the real successor had arrived and thousands of devotees joined in for free service (Kar-Sewa). Within the first week, Baba Ji called the Sewadars (volunteers) one day after the Bhog of the Pooranmashi program and told them to get ready to start the digging for a Sarovar (pool of Holy water). The reason Baba Ji instructed the construction was because he wanted all the devotees to take a dip during the next Pooranmashi in the Holy Sarovar which meant this feat had to be completed within 30 days. The sarovar was to be 13 ft. deep with great length and width. The sangat was astonished as the engineers and the technicians alike stated that it could not be completed in less than a year; however, Baba Ji insisted that he had been instructed from above to release the water in it on the coming Pooranmashi (Full Moon). Thus Baba Ji started the construction of the Sarovar on the 13th Haar (the last week of June) and it was miraculously completed in 28 days and Holy water was released into it on the Pooranmashi – to the astonishment of all who witnessed it.

Baba Isher Singh Ji laid the foundation of the Nanaksar Thath on Sangrand of month Chet (March). A large number of sangat including carpenters, masons, and blacksmiths came to do the free sewa. The engineers and other experts came from all over to look after the design. Nanaksar was crowned with Golden Kalas (which are 39 feet round and 13 feet high) and the entire seven-story complex was completed in only six months. Not only was this short timeframe a remarkable engineering feat, it’s evermore remarkable considering Baba Ji’s strict Maryada of not asking for, or receiving a single rupee in donation. Looking back, many have talked about the completion of the building as an extraordinary feat, remembering the wonderful moments of nearly 500 masons and thousands of devotees working day and night voluntarily without any wages and it was a sight to be seen that hundreds of trucks were bringing bricks, river sand, cement, steel, iron and other material without any regard for monetary profit. Another astonishing achievement during the construction was the fact that all the food supplies for the volunteers were brought in by Sangis from near and far off places thrice a day without any announcement.

Baba Isher Singh Ji not only followed the course set by Baba Nand Singh Ji, he engraved a whole new chapter and set Nanaksar’s maryada in impervious stone. Through moving forward with the continuous recitations of Kirtan and Akhand Paths, Baba Ji established a foundation built on undying commitment and sewa. This is no more apparent than can be seen with Baba Ji’s everlasting devotion to Sukhmani Sahib, and how even today, this prayer has been recited continuously for over seventy years without a single break. In addition to the Kirtan and Akand Paths of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Baba Ji also started Nitnem and Kirtan at many other Gurdwaras situated at Jhorran, Bhadaur, Barnala, Barundi, Samadh Bhai, Dehradun, Ludhiana, and Seerah.

As remarkable as these implementations of Gurbani were on a global scale, none of these achievements compares to that which defines Baba Ji’s contribution to the house of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji. The gift that Baba Ji prescribed to the masses was that of baptizing them as the son of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, and Baba Ji’s administration of Amrit is one unsurpassed in history and one which remains unrivalled even today.

Baba Isher Singh Ji’s legacy coupled two fundamental tenets which hold the key to salvation in this life and beyond. In the first, Baba Ji stressed the ceaseless message of Guru Nanak Sahib concerning universal brotherhood and doing well for all. He emphasized the eternal spirituality of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and explained that in order to escape the clutches of physical and emotional suffering, one must confine in the teachings and recognize the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the living divinity of our ten Gurus and that one should never distinguish between the divine scripture and our Guru Ji’s as they are of an identical roop, jot and atma (body, light and soul). The second legacy specifies the necessity of giving your head to Guru Gobind Singh Ji through taking him as your father through the process of Amrit and attaining true liberation to surpass the fear of death.

Baba Isher Singh Ji placed a giant emphasis on the need to become Amritdhari. He would visit countless villages and cities throughout India to advance his Amrit Parchar, and the scenes witnessed at these locations were truly staggering as entire villages would come to a halt, and all persons (young or old) would flock to his diwans in the masses to take the holy nectar from the Panj (five) Pyare. Upon completion of the diwans, Baba Ji would ask the entire congregation to recite the principle truth of his discourse – “Khande Da Amrit Pee Lai, Je Milna Kalgian Wale Nu” (take this holy Amrit, if you want to meet Kalgidhar Patshah, the 10th God.) Thousands upon thousands would come together to change their lives forever, and in 13 short years, Baba Ji administered Amrit to over 750,000 Sikhs – which is a record unparalleled in history. At the end of every discourse every day without fail he announced, “Always have company of that person who unites you with the GURU. Avoid the person, who takes you away from the GURU, as you will suffer in the long run.”

Baba Isher Singh Ji had such a magnetic attraction in his saintly eyes that one would totally surrender after his holy darshan. Many non-believers came to him for discussion and to debate their ideologies but in an instant they fell at his holy feet and begged for sanctuary in the house of Guru Nanak Sahib. There were always huge gatherings in the lacs (hundreds of thousands) wherever he held his diwans (from Northern, Eastern, Western, and Southern India). Baba Ji always began his discourses with a shabad and he would follow the kirtan with bachans for the next couple of hours. Everyone in the audience would state that they got their questions answered immediately upon the completion of the regular bachans. Baba Ji continually declined the role of maya in Sikhi and held zero regard for anything monetary. During Baba Ji’s last diwan, on October 6, 1963, he astonished the audience by telling them how he has never seen or touched a monetary bill throughout his life. Furthermore, Baba Ji always said that if a saint accepts money, then he is wearing a string of blades around his neck and that a true saint never thinks about his family, never accepts money, and is fully devoid of ego.

Baba Isher Singh Ji’s mission was to propagate Bani (Daily Prayers) and Bana (Becoming an Amritdhari Sikh). To give one example, Baba Ji once went to Kanpur, and the devotees came out there with an industrialist, who owned acres of lands and many factories. The devotees spoke very highly of this individual and informed Baba Ji of his great wealth and financial achievements. After their discussion, Baba Ji asked the businessman about how much time he devotes to Gurbani. He replied that he has no time since he has a very busy schedule due to his business ventures. After hearing his response, Baba Ji responded back in an instant, “The devotees were telling me that you are very wealthy and gifted, however, in my opinion, you’re nothing more than bankrupt.” After hearing this, the industrialist cried aloud and explained that no-one ever cared to mention this to him before, and how every other saint would usually shower their praises on him as their eyes were solely on his wealth.

To give another example, Baba Isher Singh Ji went to Patna Sahib during his voyage to Calcutta. There was an individual who came for the first time to have Baba Ji's darshan and listen to his holy discourses. He was a clean shaven man whose name was Bakhshi Singh. He was a very wealthy and successful businessman who owned his own transport company. He was immediately awestruck by the depth and substance of the discourses received. After the initial encounter, Bakhshi Singh started coming to Baba Ji’s diwan everyday as he longed to hear more anecdotes to improve his existence. However, after a couple of days, Baba Ji announced at his diwan that he would be continuing his journey to Calcutta. In front of the entire sangat, Bakhshi Singh stood up and requested Baba Ji with folded hands to give both the town and himself another week. Baba Ji told Bakhshi Singh he would agree to his request only if he makes some contribution to him. Bakhshi Singh thought that since many saints had come and gone from Patna Sahib, he could use his previous methodologies and give a lump cash amount in return for another day or week. Realizing that he was very wealthy and that any offering was in his range, Bakhshi Singh agreed to give Baba Ji any donation.

At his agreement, Baba Ji said, 'Bakhshi Singh, What you have thought of in your head is nothing compare to what I'm looking for. My offering is way more than you could ever imagine". Bakhshi Singh was startled by Baba Ji’s statement, but again thought of doubling his last offer and once more spoke in front of the entire sangat that he was in complete agreement with Baba Ji's bheta (offering). However, Baba Ji again questioned Bakhshi Singh's contribution, and said “our demand is way more than what you have thought of this time around also.” Again, Bakhshi Singh agreed to whatever bheta Baba Ji would ask, and again reiterated that he would definitely give the donation, and said he “will not back away from his word.” Baba Ji again asked (one final time) "Bakhshi Singh, you’re giving me your word in front of everyone, so think once again, and don't back out." When he agreed for the last time, Baba Ji shocked him by telling him, "I'm not here to collect your money, I'm asking you to become an Amritdhari along with your family so you could devote your time to the Guru as in spite of your wealth and business, I’ve never met a man as poor as you." Immediately, Bakhshi Singh in awe and disbelief at what had just happened (as for the first time in his life, his wealth was considered worthless) started to cry and touched Baba Ji's charan (feet) and pleaded for eternal forgiveness. The local community was shocked, as a man who was considered an atheist had changed his lifestyle in a split second and upon the fulfillment of the request, Baba Ji stayed at Patna Sahib for another week and administered Bakhshi Singh and his family with the holiest gift imaginable – Kaligdhar’s Amrit.

In Baba Isher Singh Ji’s diwans, he frequently informed the sangat about future happenings. One example pertains to the events prior to Sri Guru Teg Bahudar Ji taking his throne. During that time, society sprang up 22 fake Manjis (pretenders) who laid false claims as the new Guru. Baba Ji stated that a time in the near future will come when there will be countless Manjis (pretenders) who will lay fake claim to the house of Guru Nanak Sahib. Baba Ji stated that these dishonest individuals will fuel a generation of disbelief when dharma (religion) will disappear and 'adharam' (irreligion) will roam rampant. During this time, individual groups will overcome religion, and money will overshadow everything. However, Baba Ji incessantly affirmed that Sikhi cannot be demolished by anyone, in fact, those who try to demolish Sikhi will get annihilated themselves.

In spite of the hundreds of thousands of people to witness Baba Isher Singh Ji’s Amrit Parchar at any given time, there were strict orders in place for no advertising or announcements to be made prior to Baba Ji’s holy narrations. Baba Ji’s bachans transcended boundaries and combined mankind with one universal message. Nowhere was this more apparent than in Baba Ji’s diwans where people of all shades and walks of life (rich or poor) came together to be blessed with his presence. Among the endless list of eminent personalities who sought Baba Ji's blessings included: The President of India Dr. Rajendra Prasad (who specifically requested Baba Ji to grace the Rashtripati Bhavan with his blessing), former President of India Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Defence Minister of India S. Baldev Singh, Spiritual guru of Sanatan Dharmi sect of the Hindus   Goswami Ganesh Dutt, Chief Minister of Punjab S. Partap Singh Kairon,  Lieutenant General Maharaja Yadevindera Singh of Patiala, Maharaja of Faridkot, Deputy Defense Minister of India S. Surjit Singh Majithia, Sant Fateh Singh, Shromani Akali Dal President Master Tara Singh, S. Lachhman Singh Gill (future chief minister of Punjab ),  (Advocate General ) S. Gurnam Singh Tir, (Additional Adocate General of Punjab ) S. Harbans Singh Doabia, Ex-Chairman Railway Board S. Karnail Singh, Honorary Magistrate Lala Dhanpat Rai ,Birla Seth and countless others.

Even though Baba Isher Singh Ji had countless politicians, businessmen and public figures as his followers, his diwans always composed an impartial makeup, with Baba Ji giving an equal amount of love and time to poor and needy individuals. Baba Ji stressed to the sangat that in order to make Guru Nanak Sahib happy, one must come to the doors at Nanaksar without any ego or pride in the same way as a pauper would approach a king’s castle. Baba Ji’s actions always reflected his ability to never discriminate as he paid no attention to a person’s race, religion, caste, sex or creed. One time, Baba Ji was passing through Jagraon in a procession when he stopped at the area of very poor people and informed them that, “Our love for you is way more than others.”

Baba Isher Singh Ji started giving indications about his pending departure to his heavenly abode many years prior to the actual date. Baba Ji’s recorded bachans give countless hints about the future, and one of the main things he stressed was the shortness of time he had to influence the masses. He would continuously inform the sangat that there are many things which need to be accomplished; however, God had given him a very short lifespan.

Baba Isher Singh Ji visited Saproon (Shimla Hills) on September 7th, 1963. Baba Ji held religious gatherings (diwans) at Saproon twice a day for 10 days. After that, Baba Ji moved out to Shimla and held diwans twice a day for the next 10 days from Septemeber 17th to September 26th.  Baba Ji stayed a night at Pinjore Gardens on September 26th.  He made his way back to Nanaksar on the morning of September 27th. Upon notification of Baba Ji’s plans to return to Nanaksar, the sangat at Chandigarh immediately arranged for a make shift diwan and requested Baba Ji to give them at least one month’s time.  Baba Ji declined and after continuously pleading the sangat changed their request from a month to a week. Upon their instance, Baba Ji replied with “you are asking for a week, but I have no time at all. I have to return to Nanaksar immediately as the Pooranmashi is fast approaching.”  As a last resort, the sangat requested Baba Ji to stay for a few hours and at least have langar, but again Baba Ji replied that there was no time, and at in the insistence of the sangat, Baba Ji agreed to take the langar along with him to Nanaksar and pass it along to the sangat there.  At the time, no-one understood why Baba Ji took such a swift course to Nanaksar, but the upcoming days (in early October) would reveal why this final Pooranmashi function was so vitally important.

Detailed below are a few more examples of the forecasts Baba Isher Singh Ji made about his imminent future. Baba Ji’s devotee, Advocate General Gurnam Singh Tir, came to Nanaksar on October 7, 1963 and requested Baba Ji to provide pathis (priests) as he was planning for the recitation of Guru Granth Sahib Ji at his residence in Chandigarh. Baba Ji asked him, “Which route did you take when coming here to Nanaksar?” He replied that he came “from the Amritsar route.” Then Baba Ji questioned Gurnam Singh Tir about the water level at the rivers of Harike. To this question put forth by Baba Ji, Gurnam Singh responded that “the water level is very high at Harike Pattan.” After a while, Baba Ji put the same question about the water level at Harike Pattan.  Gurnam Singh Tir did not know that Baba Ji was to go to that place after his merging with the Almighty soon after. Baba Ji continued the discussion by telling his devotee to “move the recitations to another day.” To which he answered back, “Baba Ji, I have already printed out the cards and distributed them to my relatives, so I can’t move the recitations (path) to another day.” At this point, Baba Ji gave a solid indication about the pending future by saying, “Gurnam Singh, go ahead and take the pathis (priests), however, we’ll soon call them back over the phone.” Gurnam Singh Tir didn’t think twice about this conversation and took the pathis along with him in two separate cars. However, upon reaching Chandigarh, he immediately received a phone call from Nanaksar informing him that Baba Ji had left for his heavenly abode. Gurnam Singh Tir was completed shocked and remembered Baba Ji’s bachan about the phone call. He and the pathis immediately returned to Nanaksar.

The next example concerns another devotee, a professional photographer named S. Mohan Singh, who came to Nanaksar on October 3, 1963 to attend the Pooranmashi diwan. He stayed there for 2 nights and when the Pooranmashi program was completed, he asked for permission from Baba Ji to return back to his home at Dehradun (on October 5, 1963.) Baba Ji asked him to stay for a little longer and he agreed to Baba Ji’s bachan and stayed an extra day. The next day he again asked for permission from Baba Ji so that he could return to his family. Baba Ji again asked him to stay another day and being a true devotee, he listened to Baba Ji’s bachan the second time around and stayed another night at Nanaksar. On October 7, 1963 he came with folded hands again to ask for Baba Ji’s permission to return home. Upon his insistence, Baba Ji replied back by saying, “Well, if you have to go, go ahead, however, we’ll send a telegram for you to come back.” When S. Mohan Singh reached Dehradun; his wife informed him that there was a telegram waiting for him from Nanaksar. This telegram declared Baba Ji’s departure to heaven and Mohan Singh immediately came back to Nanaksar to have final darshan of the great saint. For years after, S. Mohan Singh continuously questioned himself for not listening to Baba Ji, as all he remembers is Baba Ji’s last bachans about staying another day and the subtle narration detailing how Nanaksar would never be the same.

On October 6, 1963, Baba Ji was on his morning walk along with the Prince of Patiala, Kanwar Sahib. It was here when Baba Ji questioned the Prince about which death he would you rather prefer, someone that leaves instantly without any suffering or someone who lingers on the bed at his/her last breath. To this question put forth by Baba Ji, Kanwar Sahib responded with the first choice. Baba Ji replied, “Kanwar Sahib, I like your answer, and I totally agree with you.” These are a small percent of the numerous clues given by Baba Ji about his departure to his heavenly abode. However, due to the shortage of space to mention all examples on this website, only a brief summary has been detailed. On the same day, Dr. Sant Singh of Jagraon had darshan of Baba ji and Baba Ji told him that he should come to Nanaksar as before even when he is not present here. That was a clear hint, but doctor sahib thought that Baba Ji might be going to some outside place.

Detailed below is one final hint regarding Baba Isher Singh Ji’s departure to heaven, which is a written document by highly qualified and renowned Dr. Harcharan Singh, who was a Resident Doctor of the Medical College of Amritsar. He was a classmate of Dr. Kulwant Singh of Jagraon, who was a sangi of Nanaksar. Both doctors decided to visit Nanaksar on October 6, 1963, and it was the first time Dr. Harcharan Singh visited Nanaksar and Baba Ji. At this initial meeting, Dr. Harcharan Singh repeatedly asked Baba Ji if he could examine him to get a complete physical checkup. Upon his continued insistence, Baba Ji agreed to Dr. Sahib’s request. While proceeding with the checkup of the great saint, Dr. Sahib was startled when Baba Ji stated “Dr. Sahib, do your checkup to clear your doubts, I don’t mind. However, Akal Purakh has delivered a message for me to leave this world. I’m ready to go; I’ve no attachments and no worries. I’m waiting on Guru Nanak Sahib’s final say, and at that moment I’ll leave without delay.” Not realizing the seriousness of the words, Dr. Sahib continued the checkup and reported that Baba Ji was in 100% health without a single worry.

Further to this encounter, below is written proof of Dr. Harcharan Singh’s letter to Dr. Kulwant Singh, and we’ve attached a copy of the original document underneath this article. These quotes are from the actual letter itself.

“When the very next day, Baba Ji actually went to the Lord, I was wonderstruck by his great forethought and initiations. He was really a great soul.”

Baba Ji addressed the congregation at Nanaksar in the Diwan of Pooranmashi on October 3, 1963. During this most divine discourse, Baba Ji gave countless indications that he would soon leave to merge in Guru Nanak Charna, but it was impossible to believe that the one who revived hundreds-upon-thousands of lost souls would succumb to a call from above. Three days later, on October 7, 1963 after the evening time kirtan, Baba Ji’s soul returned home at the worldly age of only 47 years in the twinkling of an eye leaving the world weeping and our lives changed forever.
