Singh Sahib Jathedar Baba Chet Singh Ji - 12th Jathedar of Shiromani Panth Akali Buddha Dal, Panjvah Takht.

The Saints are my Beloved Friends

Jathedar Baba Chet Singh was widely revered by all Mahapursh as a complete Brahmgiani. They were very close with some of the Mahapursh who were also on the earth at the time carrying out the seva they had been given by Akaal Purakh. When Nihang Singhs visit Nanaksar, Old sevadars and Saints there who have performed seva there for many years often relate many stories of Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji's (Nanaksar Vale) fondness of Baba Chet Singh Ji.

The long mala which can be seen around Baba Chet Singhs neck in the above picture, was initially presented to Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji by a devotee. Baba Isher Singh Ji was amused and said that the sarbloh mala was too heavy and he would not be able to carry it. As Baba Chet Singh was of formidable height and strength, Baba Isher Singh decided he would give it as a present to his dear friend. Baba Isher went to visit Budha Dal and upon meeting Baba Chet Singh Ji placed the heavy mala around the Jathas neck and offered it as a present. Baba Isher Singh Ji said "now I can swing from this." The two laughed greatly and Baba Chet Singh replied "Oh great Saint you may do as you wish". Being a present from such a highly accomplished Saint, Baba Chet Singh greatly treasured the mala and despite its heavy weight used to loop it several times around their neck.

Baba Isher Singh used to speak very highly of Baba Chet Singh to those at Nanaksar, there are other stories of these two Mahapursh which will be told during lectures at the Barsi. Giani Thakur Singh Patiale Vale also mentions in one of his kathas the high veneration Mahapurkhs of Taksal had for Baba Chet Singh, considering him to be a perfect embodiment of a true Khalsa, immersed in Naam Simran. Honouring the close friendship and respect Mahapursh of diverse traditions following distinct maryadai had for one another, all Sikh Sangat from all Jathebandia should attend and do Ardas that Maharaj blesses us with such Ekta and Pyar that these great Saints shared.
