Rara Sahib, Jarg and Punjabi Bagh: A Place where Sant Isher Singh, Sant Kishan Singh Visited and Lived Bhai Amrik Singh of Rara Sahib: 2

English: Gurdwara Karamsar Rara Sahib

When our parents and family moved from Narwana to Patiala, we came to live in Punjabi Bagh on rent. We had lived in some other parts but due to relevancy to the topic, we will discuss about the Punjabi Bagh. At the Punjabi Bagh, we lived on rent at 157. This was the house where lived late Bhai Amrik Singh of Rara Sahib lived his childhood with his parents Late Sardar Bhai Dalip Singh and Late Respected Harpal Kaur Ji. 


He had great impact on many people during his lifetime and also that Sant Baba Bhupinder Singh also had his sister living their. Thus, most of the great saints, spirituals, and others from Rara Sahib used to visit the place where we lived at rent by then. These were the times from 1965 onwards.

Something that we had learned in childhood started also as described about great souls like Sant Baba Ishar Singh Ji, Sant Baba Kishan Singh Ji and Jathedar Ji as below:

"...By this time since the children had grown up they also started occupying their mother for `darshan' of Sant Isher Singh ji Maharaj. Baba ji, who was deeply religious natured from his early childhood, learnt elementary Punjabi language in Gurmukhi script from one Sh. Inder Singh `Dafedar' and playing `dholki' (two-faced drum) from Subae Maraasi of the village and started singing shabads, (religious hymns) while playing at it. He was so involved in Sikhism that he participated in Jaito Morcha at the tender age of only 9-10 years. At times, Baba ji used to visit the Dhakki (Rara Sahib) for `darshan' of Sant Baba Isher Singh ji. However, in 1936, he came for `darshan' of His Holiness Sant Ishar Singh ji Maharaj, but never to return back. On orders of Baba Isher Singh ji, Jathedar Ji started serving in the ‘langar' (Community Kitchen). 


While serving in `langar' Jathedar ji also used to participate in meditating group and also learnt reading and understanding Guru Granth Sahib from Giani Balbir Singh Ji. At Rara Sahib, Jathedar ji mastered the art of Gatka from Nihang Bachan Singh ji. Later on Baba Isher Singh ji included him in his `Kirtani Jatha' and for playing `dholki'. At this stage Jathedar ji had started also accompanying Sant Isher Singh ji to all places including Calcutta , Bombay , Ranchi , Patna , Shimla & Africa. However, from 1954 he was made `Jathedar' (in charge) of the `Hazoori Kirtani Jatha' and served as such up to the moment His holiness Sant Isher Singh Ji breathed his last. 

Not only had this Jathedar ji also remained under the command of Sant Kishan Singh Ji Maharaj for about 12 years at Rara Sahib. After His Holiness, Sant Isher Singh ji left for Sachkhand. (heavenly abode), Jathedar ji took upon himself with great humility, the cause of spreading teachings of great Gurus through `Katha-Kirtan' as desired by Baba Kishan Singh ji Maharaj with the only change that now Bhai Amrik Singh ji and Bhai Bhupinder Singh ji would sing Shabads and Jathedar Ji explain the inner meaning of Gurbani to the `Sangat' in most simple and appealing manner. 

However, on Bhai Amrik Singh ji's `Akaal Challana', the health of Jathedar ji Maharaj deterred and it did not permit undertaking strenuous busy schedule. Accordingly, his holiness desired Bhai Bhupinder Singh ji to shoulder the responsibility of `diwans' and other arrangements. Thus manifested Bhai Bhupinder Singh ji, now His Holiness Sant Baba Bhupinder Singh Ji (Rara Sahib), Jarg. On His Almighty's will, in August 1989, Jathedar ji along with Bhai Bhupinder Singh ji and few other devotees shifted to Jarg to establish another centre for spreading the message of great Gurus and Gurbani for the benefit of `Sangat'..."

How Sikhism Finds Works of Universities: 1

Guru Hargobind depicted on a mid-nineteenth ce...
Image via Wikipedia























The major point that we need to consider and focus is that there are many Sikh Taksals, the Traditional Universities of Sikhism and among them are the main as Nanaksar, Mastuana, Rara Sahib and some others. The Research Work in Sikhism focuses on the self-realization so that one can understand how to use the power of knowing, believing or faith and doing it practically. Thus, the above mentioned universities of the Sikhism have done deep research works in Sikhism as with Comparative Religious Studies. 

The communists as Naxalites have never been able to influence them. 

However, some traditional universities focus more on the baptizing process and other fundamental issues. These have some strong beliefs that makes them act as authority over making decisions about issues that relate to politics as well. The communism has intruded because their politics usually leads to demand nations or so many other things that people want more power, positions, and pennies rather than practicing the religion and faiths.


Thus, youth turned against Sikhism. If there are many Sikhs, the costume drama of dressing as a Sikh seems for politics imaged as patriotism rather than religious or spiritual practices.

These are mainly the kind of preachers and the missionaries. The later one had some influence from communists and thus there were many revolutionary groups started during 1900-1925 AD. This similar to Buddhists having influence from Maoism and Marxism. My focus and concern is on the ones that have nothing to do with movements and revolutionary activities that led Sikhs having identity of as if terrorists...

The rest of the theories of revolution after 1900 were to upset India as making of many nations that has failed because of these saints or the spirituals.


The main universities focused on the research works that is stated as below for world peace:


"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 and fire 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" (God) to achieve salvation. Let your life be guided by the saying "Whatever God wills, is good". Be content with the will of God. Remember Him both in pleasure & pain." (With thanks from the source: http://www.bhorasahib.com/Atam%20updesh.htm)

Most of these saints and spirituals were from military who left for spirituality and started to serve in the Spiritual Universities of Sikhism. They did all of it amidst the Mughal and British Empire. 


The notion for making of multiple nations came as a result of revolutionary movements... we will continue...

Chaos is Natural with Zero Resultant: Our Brain can use it without Comprehension

Happy Canada Day
Image by Anirudh Koul via Flickr























Nature has all embedded in it as its natural laws and principles in each and everything. We common know as characteristics, qualities, functions, works and impact. This diversified impact from atomic and molecular level is so systematic that nothing can ever change it. 


We usually consider that chaos is something that we cannot predict. Its very true, but its the resultant of all actions and reactions on anything. This resultant cannot be known as what we know is that resultant is always zero. So, what we can be sure is that though the energy changes forms, the overall changes come out to be zero. The vector resultant is zero no matter how big the thing is.


Our tendency to know and explore becomes childish as we go for the more knowledge and it simply breeds knowledge. We have not been able to use what we know. Its what we know as we cannot practice all that we know. Ego seems the cause for it because we seem interested in knowing not in doing. Ego drives us to prove that we are superior and thus the most harmed are the ones, who are practical in doing what they know and who are they?


With exception to humans all living and nonliving ones do what they know. The human ego helps us in thinking but useless knowledge prevents us to practice it. We notice animals and birds follow natural laws and principles. 


For us the confidence seems as the most potent thing. Our confidence cannot help us to avoid corruption and thus thought pollution that harms the natural world in which we live.


The faith made Lord Jesus give his life on the cross, Socrates drank poison, all martyrs and soldiers, and others to sacrifice their greed for sake of duty. By faith one can sacrifice selfishness not by confidence as it seems.

Thus, it seems that the confidence is the Force that Ego seem to use, but Faith is the Power that we have at the Pineal Gland and thus the rest of the body. If we are doing technological works on brain control, we can easily understand that nature gives faith as power that runs body from womb to tomb...

On the other hand, the ego simply seem interfere with natural laws and principles and thus we have egoistic and egocentric people becoming rulers and dictators. The misuse of ego is considered a mental disease in Ayurveda and other Spiritual or Holistic Health Sciences as it disturbs not only the individual but rest of the natural world... leading to weakening of pineal gland that needs faith in the natural laws and the principles because it works naturally as we say from womb to tomb...

These points that we are sharing are from natural health sciences and are not a kind of REACTION to other theories whatsoever...

If we do not want to work on natural health, the natural lifestyle, who is going to do it! Yes, the nature in the natural world has always kept it as we say preserved it...

The nature uses rhythm as its technology. This rhythmic system is the sound in the quantum physics that is the cause of the creation of the universe and also of the natural world in it. We also know it as the Anahat or the Anahad Music, the Unstuck Music. It can heal anything by restoring naturally as if a miracle. Its supernatural but not superstitious. What need to explore what faith is, is not it.

What is ego in the above context: Willing not to serve but get served or rule!     

Thanks for your time reading it.
