Meditation at Kanoha- Jeewan Sakhi of Sant Attar Singh Ji

Sant Ji reached Rawalpindi (now in Pakistan) and meditated in Tapovan for some time and after this, he met Sant Ram Singh Ji in 1894 at Thamali for completing his mission of meditation continuously at a secluded and peaceful place. On the recommendation of Sant Ram Singh, a thick forest-like place, Kanohe di Jhangi, which
belonged to Bhai Wazir Singh, was selected.

During all these years while in spiritual pursuit, Sant Ji used to speak very little. After the Akhand Paath, Sant Ji resorted three times to prolonged meditation; first for 40 days, then for 6 months and later on for one year.

During this period, he used to take a very small quantity of food and that too once a day only, which was served by the devoted couple Wazir Singh and Mai Bhag Bhari. As a result of these prolonged meditations, his body was reduced to a mere skeleton.

His mother, Mata Bholi, developed an abscess near the knee-joint, which caused her a lot of pain and suffering. Sant Ji met her one evening and explained to her the spirit of tolerance and accepting the Will of God by concentrating on the Divine Name.

She thus had the realization of spiritual knowledge from her own son. This realization of oneness with God enabled her to overcome her physical suffering completely and attain an exalted spiritual stage of Jiwan Mukt (emancipation of the spirit in one’s lifetime) during her last days. Mata Bholi died a peaceful and saintly death.
of people desiring to have his glimpse kept on increasing. Sant Ji meditated on the Divine Name uninterrupted for
The fame of his first two meditations had already spread among the people, but this third longer meditation for one year spread it all over the region. People began to flock from all around and the Phulahi grove at Kanoha several days on the sands of ‘Luni’ of Kashi river bed during the month of June and drenched the sand with his sweat, as if the soil was made sacred with the tiny drops of the Divine Name.

It became a center of continuous rendering of Gurbani Kirtan. Guru ka Langar continued to be served all this while. In a very short span of time, the fame of Sant Attar Singh spread all over Rawalpindi district; and the number
Before commencing the Kar Sewa (construction) of Gurdwara Mastuana Sahib, Sant Attar Singh completely renounced the collection of material wealth. But when the Kar Sewa of Gurdwara Mastuana Sahib and Gurdwara Damdama Sahib was taken up, the donations offered by devotees were used for the development of the Gurdwaras and other institutions for the welfare of mankind.

Jasjot Singh is a student of class V of Akal Academy Dakra Sahib cracked both National entrance exams Sainik School & RMS ( Rashtriya Military School) without pursuing any coaching classes.

He is the only student from the state of Haryana who has been selected for RMS. His father proudly attributes his great achievement to Akal Academy.

Sainik schools & Rashtriya Military Schools were started with the aim of preparing boys academically, physically, and mentally for entry into the National Defence Academy thereby enabling them to become officers in the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Navy.

These examinations are considered one of the most rigorous and competitive ones due to limited seats. Jagjot made sure his hard work accompanied his dedication and passion to serve the nation!

Discharge from Army- Jeewan Sakhi of Sant Attar Singh Ji

As Sant Attar Singh was not yet fully discharged from the Army, he desired to complete the formalities and presented himself before the Colonel of his Regiment at Abbotabad (now in Pakistan).

As Sant Attar Singh was not yet fully discharged from the Army, he desired to complete the formalities and presented himself before the Colonel of his Regiment at Abbotabad (now in Pakistan). The Colonel tried to persuade him to remain in the Army by giving assurances that he would be promoted to a higher rank. Sant Ji told him that he had joined the service of the Divine Lord and was no more willing to serve any master other than Him. The Colonel put him in the Army jail and kept a constant vigil on him throughout the night but always found Sant Ji meditating in a state of trance, which continued for three days without taking even a drop of water. The Colonel was moved immensely by his devotion and discharged him from the Army with honor. The Colonel also gave him the first prize of Rifle Shooting Competition. Sant Ji distributed this prize money of one hundred rupees among the poor. All the soldiers took him in a procession and boarded him in a Chariot for the village Shahan di Dheri, on way to Gurdwara Panja Sahib (now in Pakistan). Thus, he became completely free to pursue the Divine Mission of his life.

At Shahan di Dheri, Bhai Gurmukh Singh persuaded Sant Attar Singh to stay with him. Here he recited Guru Granth Sahib continuously for nine months. After this, he reached Panja Sahib and had a dip in the Sarovar (holy water- tank). After paying obeisance at Panja Sahib, Sant Ji immersed in deep meditation on the banks of Kishan Ganga River near the town of Domel for seven months. Then he decided to meet Sant Bhai Ram Singh at Thamali, who was anxiously waiting for his arrival. On his way to Thamali, Sant Ji meditated on a quiet hillock near Kohmari for three days.

Man Jeete Jag Jeet
Conquer your mind and conquer the world.

World around is filthy.

Lots of enticements and temptations around us.

Stand up amid dirt and filth.

By attaining the virtues and annihilating the vices

the life can be made immaculate and the soul can be purified.

To attain virtues is a real form of worship.

God prevails where there is veracity and purity.

The real veneration is a simple, truthful and pure way of life.

And can be attained only by winning your own mind.

And it will be a triumph over the battle of life.

Meditation at Hazur Sahib, Rishikesh, and Haridwar- Jeewan Sakhi of Sant Attar Singh Ji

The enlightened luminary lead his life at an immeasurably higher pedestal than those of ordinary mortals. The fact that the life story of this sages has been written by none other than Sant Teja Singh himself, makes them all the more credible.

He resigned from the Army to fulfill his burning desire of immersing in the Divine Realm. He started his march on
foot from Dera Ghazi Khan (now in Pakistan) to Hazur Sahib in Maharashtra. In a deeply devotional state and immersed in the Divine Name, he would march for hundreds of miles at a stretch reciting ‘Wahe’ while putting the left foot forward and ‘Guru’ when the right one went forward. At Hazur Sahib, Sant Ji mediated continuously for two years on the banks of the river Godavari. He was so much engrossed in meditation on the Divine Name that he spent weeks together without food. He neither longed nor went anywhere for food but would take it whenever anybody offered him. Otherwise, he used to live only on the water of the river Godavari.

From Hazur Sahib, he walked across the country to Haridwar and Rishikesh (Uttarakhand) passing through thick forests. In the forests of Rishikesh, he remained engrossed in Samadhi (trance) near a fountain, where wild animals would often come for water at night. Unmindful of this, he remained immersed in deep meditation here for almost a year.

While at Rishikesh, he expressed his desire of meditating constantly at a calm, quiet and secluded place to Sant Ram Singh of Thamali, who persuaded him to accompany him to hermitages in Sialkot and Rawalpindi regions (now in Pakistan) for the holy pursuit. Both walked to Sialkot through Sirmore (in Himachal Pradesh). They followed the route of Rishikesh, Dehradun, Paonta Sahib, Baru, Kumharhatti, Anandpur Sahib, Una, Gurdaspur and to Sialkot. They paid obeisance at the holy shrines of Paonta Sahib and Anandpur Sahib and then meditated at the hitherto unrevealed Baru.

The life story of this great saint is bound to inspire the youth to become better human beings

The Supreme Being’s Messenger who revived the Sikh Panth from the verge of extinction in 1866.

Divine messengers, saints and sages for the uplift of mankind and providing divine peace by extinguishing the fire of lust, wrath, avarice, attachment and vanity prevalent all over the world.

Divine messengers, saints and sages for the uplift of mankind and providing divine peace by extinguishing the fire of lust, wrath, avarice, attachment and vanity prevalent all over the world. Since the creation of the universe, the world has seen the reincarnation of divine souls from time to time for guiding the bewildered humanity to the right path.
Following Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s rule and the annexation of Punjab by the British in 1849, a large number of weak-minded Sikhs (disciple of spirituality) started deviating from their faith and their number reduced from 10 million to a mere million. The situation was so alarming that the British Government even went on to prophesy that the Sikhs would become extinct by the year 1900. At this critical juncture for Sikh community, the Supreme Being sent Sant Attar Singh as His messenger to this material world in 1866 so that the Sikh Panth may again be revived. Sant Attar Singh dedicated all his life to austere meditation, Naam-Simran, human welfare, education and guiding the Khalsa Panth and the humanity in distress. In his lifetime, Sant Ji initiated into Khalsa fold as many as 1.4 million people and brought them back into the fold of Sikhism. As a result, when Sant Ji left this mortal world in 1927, the number of Sikhs had increased from 1 million to 4 million.

Sant Attar Singh, one of the most widely known and respected Sants in modern times, was born in village Cheema of the erstwhile Jind State (now in district Sangrur, Punjab), on 28 March, 1866 to Baba Karam Singh and Mata Bholi. Baba Karam Singh earned his livelihood by farming and also rendered service to the visiting saints and sages.

From early childhood, Sant Ji showed signs of his future greatness. He used to perform quiet meditation on Divine Name. Even at the age of five, he remained engrossed in meditation for long hours. At the age of seven, he was taken to the village school to begin his formal education, which he politely declined saying that he would receive only that education, which led to the realization of Truth.

In 1885, Sant Attar Singh joined the Army, where he got initiated into the Khalsa fold by the ‘five beloved ones’ headed by Baba Jodh Singh. During this stint in the Army, he devoted his time in studying the sacred books and meditating on the Divine Name. He was very active in military duties too and attained the first place in marksmanship. The news of the death of his father moved him immensely to immerse in the Divine Realm at the earliest.

Prof Panditrao appeals to National Commission for Women to issue Suo Moto Cognizance against Vulgar & Alcoholic songs lyrists, composers & singers

The 43-year-old took it all upon himself to protect the protect dignity and honor of all women in spite of caste, creed, religion, region, and status.

Punjabi is not his mother tongue but he is its true son.

During this bicycle expedition to promote Punjabi, Panditrao Dharennavar has sought state government’s direction for a check on vulgarity in the lyrics of popular Punjabi songs.

Moreover, In the course of his travels, he also delivers social messages as he speaks against the practice of female foeticide, a social problem that has left Punjab with the lowest sex ratio in the country. He is also against the practice of dowry.

Panditrao Dharenavar requested for Suo Motu Cognizance to be issued against Vulgar, Alcoholic and weaponry song’s lyrists, song recording companies, singers, TV Channels, FMs, DJs, and U-Tube as they pass derogatory remarks and play songs which make extremely misogynistic, offensive, unethical and shows an extreme disrespect towards the dignity of women.

Whereas remarks against women by singers in Punjabi, Bhojpuri, Kannada, Tamil etc language songs are strongly condemnable, therefore issue Suo Motu Cognizance against Vulgar, Alcoholic and Weaponry songs lyrists, composers and singers and seek a satisfactory explanation from such singers.

Uttarakhand High Court issued a notice to Uttarakhand government to control vulgarity in public place and Punjab and Haryana High Court have also issued Suo Motu Cognizance on the issue of loud amplified music creating a nuisance.

His own Public Interest Litigation is under the purview of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh which is seeking Censor Board on vulgar, Alcoholic and Weaponry songs.

There is no other better organization than National Commission for Women which can control disrespect to women thorough vulgar, Alcoholic and Weaponry songs.

It is our fundamental duty to be part of this mission and protect dignity and honor of all women in spite of caste, creed, religion, region, and status.

This man on a mission has left no stone unturned to bring a drastic social change.

Para-Athlete Chandeep Singh turns his disability into ability by bagging two Golds for India

He works on his laptop, uses his mobile phone and does everything that you and I can do, yet he is different, courage is his middle name. After losing both arms to an electric shock in 2011, 19-year-old para-athlete Chandeep Singh from Jammu and Kashmir converted his disability into ability, winning two gold medals for India in the recently concluded Kimunyong Cup Taekwondo Championship in South Korea. “Family is happy, friends and family are giving me full support, this is purely God’s help that he is guiding me to move on in life, my next goal is world championships next year, I want to be a world champion”, said Chandeep Singh.

“We encouraged him and he kept moving on, his courage acted like a balm on our wounds, I feel proud as a mother”, said Jagpreet Kaur, mother of Chandeep Singh.

Before his accident, Chandeep excelled in football, athletics and skating at school, zonal and national levels. But losing his arms didn’t break his spirit, days after he was released from the hospital, he was back in the sports arena, with a new resolve, to win it big in Taekwondo and skating.

Before bagging gold in South Korea, he has won gold medals in Asian Taekwondo Championship at Vietnam and International Taekwondo Championship at Nepal.

After the accident, he found a mentor in sports legend Milkha Singh who guided him all through.

“I want to say that Chandeep is making his country proud, others should also emulate and perform similar feats when Chandeep came to my home, I saw that he is working his laptop and mobile with feet, he doesn’t have hands, I was really moved”, said Milkha Singh

Where there is a will, there is a way, Chandeep Singh has proven that if one has determination nothing is impossible.

How the tradition of Sikh Regiment saluting twice on Republic Day initiated

Right through from Vijay Chowk to Red Fort, all contingents salute only once – they salute the President of India. But, the Sikh Regiment salutes twice. The second salute is to Gurdwara SisGanj.

Right through from Vijay Chowk to Red Fort, all contingents salute only once – they salute the President of India. But, the Sikh Regiment salutes twice. The second salute is to Gurdwara SisGanj. The sewadars in return shower rose petals on the brave Sikh soldiers.

Right through from Vijay Chowk to Red Fort, all contingents salute only once – they salute the President of India. But, the Sikh Regiment salutes twice. The second salute is to Gurdwara SisGanj. The sewadars in return shower rose petals on the brave Sikh soldiers.
As per his account he did it first during the full dress rehearsal when the Gurdwara was pleasantly surprised. When he did it again on the actual parade the contingent was pleasantly surprised by the shower of rose petals by the spectators from both sides – the petals provided by the Gurdwara.

This tradition now has been set for years now.

The original story by Col Injo Gakhal…”DAHINAY DEKH” & ROSE PETAL SHOWER !!

1. It was 24 Jan 1979 the full-dress rehearsal for the Republic Day Parade. Having marched for the major part of 14 odd Kilometers we were nearing the end towards the Red Fort, where refreshments and transport awaited us. The march started from Vijay Chowk , past the Rajpath Saluting base keeping India Gate to our right onto Curzon road(KG Marg), to Connaught Place- Minto bridge-Ram Lila ground- Chawri Bazar- Kinari Bazar-Sis Ganj Gurdwara Sahib-Chandni Chowk ending on the front lawns of the Red Fort. As we approached Chandni Chowk, Gurudwara SisGanj loomed on to our right. As per Sikh Regimental tradition as contingent commander I ordered the Sikh Regiment marching contingent “Dhainay Dekh” and lowered my sword in salute. The Gurdwara managers were taken by surprise as were the hordes of spectators lining the road. On reaching the Red Fort the Contingent was brought to rest, but the Gurdwara Savadars had caught up with us to serve ‘Karah Prasad’, refreshments and reward.

2. Come 26 jan 1979, as we approached Sisganj Gurdwara Sahib and I ordered “Dahinay Dekh”, the Gurdwara management was prepared this time. Rose petals were showered on us from both sides of the road amidst loud jaikaras of Sat sri Akal!
