[Dhan Teri Sikhi]

Baba Isher Singh Jee were born on 26 March 1916 in the village Jhoraran, Tehsil Jagraon, Dist.Ludhiana. Their father's name was Sardar Bagha Singh and mother's name was Sardarni Partap kaur. Baba ji had four brothers and two sisters.

Baba Isher Singh Jee's name was Inder Singh which later was changed to Isher Singh by Baba Nand Singh Jee. At the age of 13 Baba Isher Singh came to take the shelter of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj .Baba Ishar Singh Jee never slept while on duty in the service of Baba Nand Singh Jee. They were ever ready to do immediately what Baba Nand Singh Jee wanted. The places selected by Baba Nand Singh Jee were mostly in the thick jungles where it was difficult for an ordinary person to go. Place such as Nagrota, Karol Bagh and Dehradun forests are few such places. Baba Ishar Singh Jee did not care for his clothes. He was mostly barefooted in the service of his master. These are only a few bare details of his unusual long service. One day Baba Nand Singh Jee called Isher and told him to go to Sant Vadawa Singh to study the scriptures.Obeying the divine orders, Baba Jee left to study the scriptures.After studying the scriptures Baba Jee came back to stay with Baba Nand Singh Jee. For eleven years Baba Isher Singh Jee did such a great service that Baba Nand Singh Jee became so pleased and made him the Hazuri Sevadar.

In the year 1943, 28 August, Baba Nand Singh Jee left for the heavenly abode. This was crucial time for Baba Isher Singh as his dear one had left for the heavenly abode without his servent. On the Dusherah day the Sadsangat gave Baba Isher Singh Jee the Dastar of Baba Nand Singh Jee meaning that Baba Isher Singh Jee is now the head of the Nanaksar Sampardah. Baba Ishar Singh Jee could not at all bear the loss. First he went to Dehradun and then to village Jhoraran where he spent about seven years in greatest possible grief. He would seldom meet anybody and tears used to drop continuously. Nanaksar became a deserted place. He had no desire to occupy it as. He always thought himself as most humble servant of The Satguru and the Sangat. He always remained in meditation and never slept.

In the year 1945, Baba Jee went to Hazur Sahib. Baba ji spend one month in Hazur sahib, after which Baba Jee came back to the blessed soil of Nanaksar. Bhai Sadhu Singh ji who had taken the shelter of Baba Nand Singh three years before Baba Nand Singh Jee left for the heavenly abode, came to pay visit to Baba Isher Singh Jee. He stayed there for one and half month. After the separation of Pakistan, Bhai Sadhu Singh Jee decided to dedicate rest of his life to the Nanaksar Samparda.

The Sadh sangat fully recognized Baba Jee, the very form of Baba Nand Singh Jee. In the last week of June, after the divine vision of Baba Nand Singh Jee, Baba Isher Singh Jee started the construction of the Nanaksar Sarovar (pool).The Sadh Sangat came in great number and the construction started. It is said that once one of the devotee woke up at night and saw that in the middle of the night some devotees were still doing sewa. Once they saw this devotee they all disappeared. Surprised by this The devotee inquired from Baba Jee. Baba Jee replied that the house of Satguru Nanak Dev Ji is being constructed, this is a very rare seva even the devtas don’t want to miss this opportunity. Miraculously the Sarovar was completed within 28 days. There was underground kacha rooms where Baba Nand Singh Jee used to sit in meditation.

Nature acted in a strange way. Due to extraordinary heavy rains, all the kacha constructions were razed to the ground. In fact the entire place was flooded with water which could be seen for miles around. When the water subsided, Baba Ji directed that malba (debris) should be removed as the foundation for the sacred Gurdwara was to be laid at this place. The building was to be seven storeyed. The foundation of the present unique building was laid by Baba Ji. Cement and iron was very abundantly used in the structure. Countless people came to do sewa. Carpenters, masons, blacksmiths etc. also were employed in the construction. Experts for this purpose reached the place. Golden Kalas (umbrella at the top) was constructed and specially trained persons had come to do this job. This kalas is 39 feet round and is 13 feet high. The entire system of worship as prescribed by Baba Nand Singh Jee was fully followed since Baba Ishar Singh Jee came to Nanaksar from Jhoraran.

Baba Ishar Singh Jee started adminstration of Amrit (sacred Nectar as prescribed by the tenth satguru) on large scale since he came to Nanaksar. The Gurbani and Shabads were sung by different Ragis who permanently lived at Nanaksar. Some other ragis from other places also visited the sacred place on many occasions. On the full moon, mighty large Diwans were held. There were other occasions also on which all this was done. Baba Jee started carrying these programmes from village to village and city to city. All important cities in India were visited by Baba Jee, who used to be accompanied by selected Ragis and other religious persons. At all places the administration of Amrit was a must. Lacs and lacs of persons took Amrit. The miraculous ways in which Baba Jee accomplished these tasks, cannot be described in writing. These were programmes arranged by Almighty Lord Satguru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.

Baba Jee stressed that the teachings of the Gurbani, as explained by Baba Nand Singh Jee and by himself shall have to be followed in order to gain liberation from the clutches of death and to avoid transmigration of soul. It was stressed with all force that Sri Guru Granth Sahib is the only true Guru and none else is to be worshipped as a Satguru.

It was in September 1963 that Baba Ji visited Saproon (Solan), and Shimla.On way back he spend a night with the sangat at Pinjore Garden, Pinjore.Then he went to Nanaksar.Here the Last Pooranmashi was celebrated on a very large scale.This was on the 3rd October 1963. Many observations of Baba ji which could not be clearly understood by the sangat were indications that he would leave this world for God’s Home very soon.

It was on the evening of the 6th October 1963 after the Paath of Rehras Sahib that Baba Jee went back to the house of the Supreme Lord Satguru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj in a twinkling of an eye.

It was on 9th of October 1963 that Baba Jee’s body was placed on a beautiful palanquin(beaban).Then it was taken to Hari Ka Pattan on a beautiful bedecked motor vehicle.Thousands of cars trollies, trucks, buses followed.The palanquin was taken in another bigger boat in the middle of the stream and his body was placed in the flowing water after all religious ceremonies and prayers.The huge crowd present on the occasion were more then about five lacs.Thus the Great Soul left the world weeping.
