Baba Thakur Singh Jee – Movement Role

In terms of Baba Jee’s spiritual prowess and daily living, Baba Jee never separated himself from recitation of Gurbani. The recitation of Gurbani was kept continuous in the prescence of Baba jee and they used to talk or conversate very with others very little, Sevadars used to recite Gurbani all day and night in accordance to Baba Jee’s wishes. Even at night when Baba Jee used to sleep, which was never more than a couple of hours, the recitation of Gurbani continued. Anyone who visited or met Baba Jee would bear witness to this.

In terms of Baba Jee’s contribution to the freedom struggle not much has come into print or discussion and the reason for this is not due to Baba Jee’s lack of involvement but to the contrary it is due to the highly skilled nature in which Baba Jee conducted himself and co–ordinated the activities of leading figures of the freedom struggle. Many Sikh Freedom Fighting outfits were seen to be aligned with Damdami Taksal most notably these were the AISSF, Khalistan Commando Force and Khalistan Bhindranvale Tiger Force. The leaders of these organisations sought the guidance and advice of Baba Jee.

In accordance with Baba Jee’s influence and role, when Rajiv Gandhi came into power he wanted to try and diffuse the situation with the Sikhs and he sent a delegation to Baba Jee, to discuss bringing an end to the insurgency. Bhai Mokham Singh was well aware of the leading advisors coming to meet Baba Jee and was quite concerned with the situation, he feared Baba Jee may just ignore the advisors and even entertain dialogue with them. The meeting was arranged to take place at Mehta, Baba Jee was in Amritsar and thus he had to travel to get back to Mehta (about a 30 minute drive.) When the advisors came they said that the government wants to discuss ending the Sikh insurgency, Baba Jee simply asked them

Baba Jee: Where have you come from?

Advisors: We have come from Delhi

Baba Jee: Did you get stopped on your way from Delhi to Mehta?

Advisors: No

Baba Jee: Well I have just come from Amritsar and my car was stopped and searched 7 times, you want peace with us, stop this discrimination and then we will consider dialogue.

Baba Jee did not entertain them with anymore conversation and they went back to Rajiv

Gandhi with their tales between their legs.

Leading martyrs such as Bhai Harjinder Singh Jinda and Bhai Sukhdev Singh Sukha were

Very close to Baba Jee. The clothes they wore when they were hanged were gifted to

them from Baba Jee and they felt honoured to be wearing clothes gifted to them from

Baba Jee for their hanging.

Gurdwara Gurdarshan Parkash, Mehta (Headquarters of Damdami Taksal) was a hotbed

of activity during the 80’s and 90’s and even recently Singhs involved in the insurgency

have frequented the Gurdwara. During the 80’s one could visit the Gurdwara and would

see Singhs armed and ready for battle, this all occurred under the leadership of Baba

Thakur Singh Jee. In the year 2000 a Sikh wanted for militant activities was traced to

be present at Gurdwara Gurdashan Parkash and the police surrounded the Gurdwara.

Baba Jee was furious and he came out shouting at the police, “ You think you can find

something incriminating here, look where you want! Singhs open all the rooms so they can

search” Baba Jee was well aware of the presence of the Singh in the Gurdwara and he

was discreetly taken to the back of the Gurdwara and he entered the village lanes and

escaped unscathed.

Unfortunately many Singhs who could have narrated much more about Baba Jee’s

influence and role have been martyred or are choosing to remain quiet as people who are

still alive may become incriminated. Baba Jee was a great soul and a shining example of a

khalsa. Those that question Baba Jee should try living one day like Baba Jee, i.e. they

should try living one day in which they constantly meditate and then think of the high

spirits one must be in, who did this on a daily basis.

Akali Baba Mitt Singh Jee

"Sriman Akali Nihang Baba Mitt Singh ji is seen as being the Mahan Sant of the Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa Panth, Babaji's intense meditations on the meanings of Gurbani from childhood elevated him to full God-Consciousness in his early youth. At this time Babaji was devoted only to solitary meditation in the vicinity of Gurdwara Patshiah Chievian, Raqba Ludhiana; Babaji at first preserved silence and would not speak to anyone as he wanted to continually be absorbed in the Divine Presence; however as more and more sevaks came to glean wisdom from Babaji, he adopted the practise of speaking only through direct quotes from Gurbani so as to avoid speaking of worldly matters; if the Singh talking to Babaji responded with a similar verse from Gurbani, the conversation would continue and blossom with more and more parallel verses fromGurbani until Babaji's divine purpose and deep perspective were fully communicated."

The Armour Of Shaheeds

"The Ancient Sikhs such as Baba Deep Singh ji and Nawab Kapoor Singh Virk and Akali Phoola Singh ji lived on Gurbani as if it were their vital life current, in fact these and many of the Shaheeds or holy martyrs were in the habit of adorning their armor, swords and personal effects with quotes from Gurbani, thus we have at the Takht discuses of Baba Deep Singh which are inscribed with verses from the Gurus, and daggers and swords of the Tenth Guru which and engraved with Japji Sahib and Jap Sahib in beautiful silver letters, at Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib there is also a shield of Guru Gobind Singh ji which is painted with the insignia of Ik Oankar and the Mool Mantar. the armors and weapons of many shaheed Singhs which are preserved in museums also contain inscriptions of Gurbani and thus it can be seen that while making the supreme sacrifice for their faith they had Gurbani enshrined in their hearts, on their divine lips and also carved in steel onto their weapons and body armors so there is a sort of spiritual/mental/physical unity in expressing Gurbani as well as representing it upon one's person."

Shaheed Singhs and Duty to protect

Their faces glow of redness, and their eyes shine. They have strong builds. They wear full bana, and are always shasterdhari. There are Singhs and Singhnia, both wear cholas (blue) and adorn dhumallas. They have khandas on these dumallas. They come with specific purposes upon the Hukam of Akaal.

-Bhai Rama Singh Ji

Below are some of the narrated episodes of those who have witnessed Shaheed Singhs come to protect that which is dear to the Guru. They have been entrusted to Panthic Seva even when they are already in the next world. It is believed that these Shaheed Singhs come to the protection of GurSikhs. Gurudwaras and also to continue to pay respect wherever the Word of the Guru’s Bani is recited in complete devotion.Though they are at rest with the Akaal Purakh, they are still sent forth by the Guru to continue the work of the Guru and sent forth into the physical world in accordance with the Guru’s instructions. The following accounts are published to build faith in the Gurus so that we may not waver in our trust in Him.

Shaheed Singhs are basically Pure Spirits, all of us are born with them, and they are with us at all times whenever we most need help. When we are born we start clinging to Maya and get polluted with it, to forget why we came here, we loose our great Essence of Purity we once had when we came onto this Earth. Shaheed Singhs help and guide you on the path of Sikhi, but if one does not make that effort to lead the life of a Gursikh, Shaheed Singhs will never come to their help. We only need to realise this and make a start on the path for them to help us.

Guarding Gurudwaras

There is an army of Shaheed Singhs that have been ordered by Guru Sahib to constantly protect Gurdwaras and Gursikhs. They are the special forces of Guru Sahib and completely one with him. They are very powerful and even greater than the Hindu gods who do not have as much power. The Shaheed Singhs dress in old Khalsa bana, either blue or sometimes white, and also carry many shastars. Although they usually go about in secret and cannot be seen, at times they make themselves visible. These Shaheed Singhs have been seen during the 1947 Partition, guarding Gurdwaras and at other times have helped Singhs protect Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Shaheed Singhs & Singhnia in the SaadhSangat

There was an incident at the second Bangor based Khalsa Camp. I was given seva in the Darbar sahib. I was standing at the back on the Darbar Sahib during a late night keertan darbar. Bhai Rama Singh Ji was sitting down quite close to me. The keertan was very Chardikala, and the sangat was mast in Waheguru Simran. The lights had been switched, but for a lamp near Guru Maharaj. Everyone was deeply engrossed in Bani. There was bibi who attended the camp. It had quite a bit of impact on her, and she was getting Biaraig in the keertan. At the side of the darbar there was a double door out to a graden area. They were closed, but suddenly the doors flung open. I think the weather was not too good, so I walked over and closed them again. At this point, the keertan was every higher in Chardikala. The bibi had become so mast in Bani, that she was physically affected. The bibi then turned and did matah tek, and stayed in that position, and sat again in Guru ji presence, and was even more mast. The whole sangat was highly engrossed in Naam and Bani. The keertan went on till quite late and was very memorable. The next day, after Amritvela, myself and Bhai Rama Singh ji were sitting in the langar hall having langar. Possible there were other Gursikhs there as well. Bhai Sahib and I were talking about the keertan the night before. We were both agreeing it was really excellent, and we were blessed to experience these darbars. I asked Bhai sahib about the bibi. I said why did she matte tek in the other direction? Bhai sahib replied, ‘Did you not see them?’ I replied, ‘See who?’ Bhai sahib said, ‘The shaheed Singhs who entered the Darbar. They came to join the SadhSangat. She bowed to them.’ I became highly intrigued by this. I said, ‘Bhai sahib, tell me about them?’ He replied, ‘Its no matter really, if you did not see, then forget about it.’ I was not going to let this drop, so began harrasing him for a few minutes. Eventually Bhai Sahib came around, and starting talking. He said ‘They are special souls who came to listen to Bani in the SadhSangat.’ Upon detailed questioning Bhai sahib revealed a basic description, extremely reluctantly. He said, ‘Their faces glow of redness, and their eyes shine. They have strong builds. They wear full bana, (as in a blue chola), and are always shasterdhari. There are Singhs and Singhnia, both wear cholas (blue) and adorn dhumallas. They have khandas on these dumallas. They come with specific purposes upon the Hukam of Akaal.’ I kept pressing Bhai sahib for more, but he was very relunctant and telling me to just Naam aap. But I was young, and really interested, and Bhai Sahib knew he could not distract me. I asked tell me more about them. But he kept saying, forget it. ‘Eventually to stop me, he said, do you know Singh in UK? They all look like that. Now let’s go to the lecture.’ I have not mentioned the Gursikhs name because he is still alive and does seva in the jatha in UK. I think most people will guess who it is anyway. When you go to rainsbhais, there is always one elder that stands out. A few weeks later, Bhai sahib and I were at a Gursikhs house in Southall. A youth had drawn a sketch picture, it was of a scene of 1984, showing the damaged Siri Akal Thakht Sahib. From the sky through the clouds he had drawn Shaheed Singhs coming to the Akal Thakht. The scene was amazing. Both myself and Bhai Sahib looked at it for some time. I am not sure what the inspiration was for that Youth, but the picture he had drawn was amazing.

Shaheeds answer Fateh

Bhai Soorat Singh was a Gursikh who even in 1949 used to do yatra of Hemkunt Sahib. He says that, “Every year I would go from Gobind Dham to Hemkunt Sahib and in the evening return back. I would do the bhog of a sehaj paath there in 15 or 16 days. When I would o paath there though, I wouldn’t speak but sometimes it seemed to me tha thte Gurdwara Sahib was filled with Singhs and sometimes there was no one. On the day of the bhog, I finished by saying a Fateh! And to my surprise, it was answered by 16 Singhs sitting in the sangat. Five or six of them were wearing blue clothes and the rest were wearing white. All had shastars. One Singh stood and said, “Bhai Sahib, do not doubt us. We are 16 Shaheed Singhs in this Gurdwara and many others also go around here.”

Incident at the Sarovar

Many times I would spend the night in the veranda and I would hear the keertan of Asa Dee Vaar. Once, at 3:15, I was sitting in the veranda when I saw a being riding on a white lion come, bathe in the sarovar and then ride off again on the lion.

Singh protecting the tent of a Sant

The Shaheed Singhs also stay with Gursikhs at all times. During the time of Sant Attar Singh jee, it was seen that a Singh riding a horse would circumambulate Sant jee’s tent. The tent was on the banks of the Jehlum, and the horse would go on the three sides which were faced by land, but also on the fourth side which was the river Jehlum. The rider would yell out a jaikara as well. When Sant jee was asked about this, he said that Shaheed Singhs do come and protect Gursikhs but those that can see this should not tell others.

Guarding Singhs

Naam Abhyaasi Gursikh Subedaar Baghael Singh once told me that in Shaheedi Fauj of Guru Gobind Singh Ji is properly organised and there are several Generals in it. Bhai Bachitter Singh is one of the top most Generals in Shaheedi Fauj.

Subedaar Baghael Singh told me that he personally once got darshan of Bhai Bachitter Singh Ji. Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji once casually mentioned to a Singh that there are always 4 Singhs present in the Narangwal area (Bhai Sahib’s pind) to guard the Singhs there.

Baba Harnaam Singh of Rampurkhera is said to have had several encounters with Shaheed Singhs.

Shaheed Singh in the Gurudwara

At a gurdwara sahib I went to regularly, the double doors to the gurdwara main hall which faced outside would swing open by themselves sometimes. There would be no wind at all and all of a sudden, they would open. This was not during a time when there was much sangat, but just me standing there. This happened on a few occassions but did not happen after that time.

Once when coming to the gurdwara sahib late at night, I was on the road in the car and looked at the gurdwara’s window. The light of the main hall was on and I noticed the outline of a Singh with round dastar and open beard walking by the window. When we came in, there was no one, and we found that everyone was asleep and no one was up at that time when I asked the next day. I’m sure I saw a Singh though.

Ever-present

As a young child of about 3 holding my late dad’s finger and walking along one evening reciting Rehrass . . . I distinctly remember hearing hoof beats following us at the back . . . when I turned to have a look, my dad reprimanded me and said, “Dont look back. It is a Shaheed Singh Ji and he is following us because we are reciting Gurbani.

At age 12 due to some financial difficulties my dad and mum had to work out station and we children were left on our own. I being the ledest was in charge. We would go upstairs to our second storey balcony and gaze far to see dad coming back every evening. One night we waited until almost midnight and dad still hadnt tunred up…suddenly we heard a neighing sound and a Shastar Dharee Singh Ji on a White Horse so tall that it reached up to the second story balcony appeared in front of us in a shining white light and we heard a voice that dad was in the local hospital in a coma due to an accident. I quickly got downstairs and cycled five miles to the local hospital and sure enough there was my dad with two broken arms after being involved in a motor accident…the surgeon wanted to shave his arms for an operation to reset the badly smashed bone and he awoke just in time to say no way . . . he healed very well without any surgery.

Later my dad related to me that this particular shaheed singh was a Bhai Darshan Singh who had been martyred in a Battle with a Muslim soldier and he had been appearing regularly in our hour of need.

In 1975 while in Singapore, i was on a road shoulder of a busy road waiting to cross and somehow i got so engrossed in my paath that i ddint realise i had stepped on the road and begun crossing..right in front of a speeding bus . . . suddenly i got such a strong “kick” that I went flying to the opposite side…safe and sound but shocked at a narrow escape..when i reached home . . . my dad was on the phone from Kuala Lumpur 250 miles away scolding me for being so careless . . . if not for Shaheed darshan Singh Ji he told me I would be history by now.

The last thing my dad told me before he left this world in 1984 was that a very major event is about to take place in Punjab and that he was going to join the shaheed faujaan as a nimana soldier . . . he had taken a hukmnama a week before and knew his end was near . . . just four weeks later Bluestar took place.

These are a few of my own personal experiences with this special aspect of “spiritual” life. as far as i know these are not “bhoots” or roohaan as we normally think of. They are special forces and they have their own rules and practises most of which are beyond our realm. Mostly they keep out of our way but on ocassion if help is warranted they do help. Thats all I caa say with conviction.

Dastaar for a Shaheed Singh

One day a middle aged Sikh came to our house. My mom gave him a siropa (dastaar) as present but he refused and said this siropa does not belong to him as the house is being guarded by shaheed singhs, and the person whom this should go to one day will come and get it from you.

An incident at Sri Harmandir Sahib

During a visit to Darbar Sahib, Amritsar I noticed the following things happening at Amrit Vela. The Sangat was finishing the last few minutes of Sukhmani Sahib, waiting for the doors to the cause way to be opened, when there was an instantaneous strong whirl wind accompanied by a drop in temperature, it went real icy even though moments before it was a hot and humid night. A couple of hours later, Guru Ji’s Saroop was being carried along the cause way to Darbar Sahib, again a strong wind occurred in seconds and the temperature plummeted dramatically. I noticed the pattern repeating over several days, same time, same place with the same changes. I was told the opening of the doors for the Sangat after Darbar Sahib’s Ishnan seva and Guru Sahib Ji’s arrival, are very important moments and protected by many Shaheed Singhs. The strong wind was caused by their arrival . . . and the purity of their souls was such that even the intense heat of the environment was cooled instantly by their presence.

Present at Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Hazoori

A Singh I know used to do Sri Japjee Sahib roals for Akhand Paths early on, he had only just taken Amrit and the roles used to be the hard ones i.e. 12-2am, 2am-4am, etc. He used to get drowsy/sleepy whilst doing the roles and used to start seeing Singhs occurring and disappearing whilst walking up the red carpet to Maharaj’s Hazoori and this used to freak him out and keep him awake. At other times he used to actually see a Singh standing next to him (whilst on the role) with full bana and barsha (spear) in hand, this also used to send a chill down his spine and he used to start reading the Path with a renewed vigour and fear. After he narrated these experiences to a few Singhs they never ocuured again. The point of narrating this is not to argue in anyway the validity of doing Sri Japji Sahib roals, but rather to emphasise the presence of Shaheed Singhs in Maharaj’s Hazoori and especially in Sri Akhand Paths.

Clattering of hooves at Amritvela

At other times in Amrit Vela - the clattering of hooves of horses on stairs has awoken many Gursikhs. Maharaj awakes his Gursikhs himself.

Darshan of Shaheed Singhs in a dream

Imprisoned Gursikhs have told me how they feared what dire consequences they may undergo and questioned whether Shaheed Singhs would protect them. One of them told me that he had Darshan of 3 Shaheed Singhs in a dream (all 3 were in blue bana with Shastars), on the night he was imprisoned and he never feared anything whilst in jail as he knew the Shaheed Singhs would look after him.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji in command

1984 attack - recently a Kathavachak who has great knowledge of the movement narrated experiences of Operation Blue Star. He said during the attack a Singh was on top of Sri Akaal Takhat Sahib and he could see Sri Guru Gobind Singh at Darshan Deori - he shouted loudly and then narrated how Maharaj went to Darbar Sahib and paid his respects and upon return gave out chole bhatoore to the Singhs in battle. Maharaj himself is present in all major battles of Sikhs and Shaheed Fauja are present also, either in human form (born again for this purpose) or spiritual form.

The Power from Shaheed Singhs

There was a Rainsbhai Kirtan organised by the Jatha in 1998 - to commemorate the 20 years since 1978 (in Slough, UK). A lot of gifted Gursikhs were present in the Sangat and the majority of the Kirtan turned into Simran only. Some of the youth did not enjoy the Rainsbhia that much due it mostly being Simran - but a lot of the gifted Gursikhs felt that it was the Shaheed Singhs who created this atmosphere of Simran repitition.

At the Gates of Sachkhand

Once, a Sikh I know, went into a state of mind where he almost died. He hit the gates of Sachkhand, walking through a tunnel and came to a Light. When he saw the light he saw beautiful gardens and heard Gurbani! But then he saw so many Singhs in bana. He go scared so turned around. Then a spirit asked him where he was going (this was the spirit of Baba Deep Singh) he said, ‘Bhai Sahib you have won your place here, why are you turning away! These are the gates to Sachkhand. Then why are you outside?’ The spirit of Bhanda Singh Bahadur now rises and replies ‘We have not finished our duty. We wait to fight the battles for Khalsa Raj again! When it is established we will be there fighting for it too! We will be there to witness the day Khalsa has Victory!’

Protected from a stalker

I heard a story about a very Chardikala bibi who was coming back from the Gurdwara late at night. She saw a man standing infront of her with a knife. As she approached him he looked scared and backed off. A week later the man was caught by the police and arrested, being a murder suspect. The bibi was asked to come to the police station and identify him. She pointed him out and asked the officer if she could talk to the man. He said yes. She asked him, ‘When you saw me that night walking home alone, there was no one about, it was dark, you could have easily got away with it, so why didn’t you attack me?’ He replied, ‘Are you mad?! What about those two guys that were standing either side of you, in blue robes, holding massive swords longer than me! I didnt want to get killed! The bibi knew that she had been protected by the Shaheed Singhs.

Protection from being left behind

This happened on the day the Panth celebrated Guru Nanak Dev Jiis Prakash Dihara. I was sitting in Darbar for about two hours listening to katha/dhadi vaars and my parents were lookin for me but I never knew that. Suddenly, I had they urge to just get up and go to my car. when I went to my car, there were my parents in the car trying to leave but couldn’t. When I sat in, my mom asked me where I had been. I replied by saying i was ‘inside, upstairs in the main hall’. She said ‘We’ve been looking for you for about half an hour and we’ve been in the car for about 1/2 hour tryin to unlock the emergency brake but couldn’t.’ Then i tried and suddenly, very easily it opened. I think that it was Maharaj who was trying not to let my parents leave without me because thats what they were going to do.

Gurmukh Jeevan - What Qualities a gursikh should have - Daya

Pachmi Parkash – Baba Karam Singh Jee Hothi Mardaan

During the British Raj widespread rioting and violence had broken out in Delhi and the army was called in to contain and control the situation. Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj’s regiment had been posted in the Delhi area to provide security and

protection to the public during this hostility. The British found this time very unstable as the rebellion had gained momentum and was in danger of a revolt that could possibly overthrow their Raj. For the average man security was scarce and even in their own home no safety could be found as looting, killings and raping was rampant by organized gangs. The scene of fires and destruction of properties, women and girls being raped and countless murders was everywhere to be seen, it was so out of control that even members of the Army themselves began to indulge in looting for their own gain. But Baba Ji and Sant Lal Ji overflowing with compassion would instead save people from fires and violence, returning valuables to rightful owners and saving others and taking them to safe havens in Temples or Mosques. Many of their fellow Soldiers made snide remarks at them saying that they were wasting their time letting such opportunities go to waste saying, “Don’t be a Saint all the time, as you won’t get an opportunity like this again so take some wealth home with you.” But Baba Ji firmly replied saying that if one wants to steal then one should steal the true jewel, which was the name of the ever permanent Creator which one can only do so in this life as a human.

Panna 1366: Kabeer, if you must rob and plunder, then plunder the plunder of the

Lord's Name. Otherwise, in the world hereafter, you will regret and repent, when the

breath of life leaves the body. ||41||

Baba Ji explained that stealing others wealth for ones own sake will not benefit them

but instead would eat away at them and that instead they should invest by helping the

others in need.

Panna 141: To take what rightfully belongs to another, is like a Muslim eating pork,

or a Hindu eating beef. Our Guru, our Spiritual Guide, stands by us, if we do not eat

those carcasses.

During this chaotic time surrounded by fires and suffering Baba Ji and Sant Lal Ji noticed a lady crying helplessly outside a burning house, she stood desperately reciting the pray of JapJi Sahib. They approached her asking of her pain to which she

explained that she was the granddaughter of the house of Bhalla (which was a family from the time of the third Guru, Guru Amar Das ji Maharaj) and that after a long time at an old age, Dhan Guru Amar Das Ji Maharaj had blessed her with a child but now that child of a tender age of five, was trapped asleep upstairs in that house. She explained that all her wealth and possessions were in that same room too, but on the brink of losing everything she was now praying to God for someone to rescue her only child and place him back in her arms.

Panna 273: The Bramhgiani delights in doing good to others.

Bharathri Hari Ji explains in his writings:

What is the difference between a fool and a saint? A fool on receiving a little knowledge will contradict and argue on different issues to cause a fight and on gaining material wealth would become egotistical on gaining strength and power in turn causing pain and hurt to people whiles a Sadhu on receiving these three gifts would give comfort to others and help people. And through knowledge they would teach others and enlighten them and through material wealth they would give to the poor and needy giving them comfort in their lives and finally through strength and power they would protect the poor and helpless from harm.

As a perfect Saint’s (Sadhu) heart is like an ocean of compassion which recognizes the pain of others and is always there to help. Baba Ji listening to her plight instantly told the lady to find two ladders, meanwhile assessing the house on fire they found

that the lower floor of the house had been severely burnt and the upper was yet in flames. Unable to find a rope Baba Ji took off his turban and tied the two ladders together in order to reach a small window on the upper floor and began to climb up.

Sant Lal Singh Ji worried for their safety told Baba Ji not to climb up, as the fire was too intense and he was risking his own life. But Baba Ji whilst reciting prays had begun to climb up to the upper floor. He went in quickly, picked up the child and

wrapped him in a blanket and tied him to his waist and then grabbed some of the ladies possessions and threw them down to her and carefully climbed out of the window with the child and down the ladder, placing that fortunate child into the

longing arms of his mother.

The lady was overcome with emotion and gratitude to be reunited with her beautiful child. Baba Ji and Sant Ji escorted her to a near by Hindu Temple and as they were about to leave, the lady called out saying, “Spiritual King! Wait take my blessings

before you leave.” And from with in her neck scarf she had some saffron tied which she placed into a silver bowl and mixed and applied it to Baba Ji’s forehead and blessed him saying that he would shine like a star in this Universe and said that in the

same way he had fulfilled her heart he would also fulfill the hearts of the world with his physical presents and that he would be very famous. Finally blessing both Baba Ji and Sant Lal Ji saying that Guru Ji would always be with them and they together

would help the people of this world cross this ocean that we call life.

Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj’s meditations

On reaching Mardan, within 8 days Baba Ji had already observed all the local areas nearby, finding a very peaceful spot on the banks of a river called Kalpani. Their duty began at 1am in the early morning till 3am, but before they began their duty during the night they would sit on the banks of the river and meditate on God name (Naam) in peaceful bliss as for Baba Ji this was of the utmost importance, from the time they had taken Amrit Baptism they would daily set time for meditating on the Guru’s mantra and would also find time to do loving prayers not letting any time go to waste. It seemed that he was sent from the Creator for this one purpose, as this shone from their forehead.

Panna 469: Only those whose karma You have pre-ordained from the very beginning,

O Lord, meditate on You.

Baba Ji would do ishnaan at 12.30am at night and then completing his duty from 1am till 3am during which they would repeat Mool Mantr or JapJi Sahib, then they would again cross the river and then again sit in deep meditation until sunrise, after which

they would arrive at the Gurdwara where they would pay their respects to Guru Maharaj, they would sit and listen to the singing and recitals of prays (Kirtan and Gurbani). During the morning they would continue doing service, making food, filling

water and serving meals to all the Soldiers while reciting prays. After the morning they would rest for only two hours before the evening program where they would arrive and recite the evening prays of Rehras Sahib and Aarti with the congregation

followed by the sing of prays (Kirtan) and religious discourse (Katha), after which they would go to their peaceful spot on the banks of the river and sit in meditation until 12.30am then again bathe and continue with their regular routine, and through

the day continue with remembering the ever pervading Lords name.
