Panthic Weekly News Bureau

Nawa Shehar (KP) – Gyani Dya Singh Dilbar who was known eminently in the Khalsa Panth as an International Dhadhi Gold Medalist has passed away. Gyani Ji was seeking treatment for a heart condition at the D.M.C. Hospital in Ludhiana where he subsequently passed away on Jan. 26th, 2005.

Throughout the course of his 76 year life, Bhai Dya Singh Dilbar had done immense seva of the Khalsa Panth through recitation of Dhadhi vaars and writing of many books. He was honored with the award of Shiromani Dhadhi by the Shirmani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee in 1979 and by Punjab Bhasa Vibhag in 1994. Besides educating Sikhs about their history and Gurmat through dhadhi vaars and books, Gyani Ji had also taken part in many Panthic struggles. He was jailed during the Punjabi Suba Morcha and then during the state of emergency in Punjab. He was kept in the Burail Jail for over 3 years.

Bhai Sahib had written over a dozen of books which include the famous ‘Dilbar Sangeet’, ‘Dilbar Tarane’, ‘Dilbar Parsang’, ‘Dilbar Dunea’, ‘Gaunda Punjab’ and ‘Chandi Kharkegi’. Bhai Sahib had also traveled to England, Canada and the United States for the parchar of the Khalsa Panth.

Bhai Sahib’s body was cremated in the Banga Road Cremation Ground in Nava Shehar. Many Panthic personalities were present at the funeral. These included the present Akal Takhat Sahib Jathedar Bhai Joginder Singh Vedanti and also many representatives of the SGPC and sevadars of Darbar Sahib, Amritsar Sahib, Tarna Dal Harianvelan and others. Bhai Sahib’s concluding ardas was done by Gurdwara Singh Sabha Nawa Shehar’s Head Granthi Gyani Harjeet Singh Ji.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

This Bhai Sahib Jee was such a legendary Dhadhi. His speeches were played on Amrit Bani radio all last week. I actually found myself sitting down and listening to him - absolutely mind-blowing and inspiring lectures.

We definitely need more Dhadhis like.

It is sad! One of my fav. Dhadis. He was awesome. His speeches were crazy too. He was a good guy and he liked to have some fun too. Unfortunate to see him go. Great Dhadi! He wrote awesome Dhadi Vars and his party sang them beautifully.
