Walking on foot from Dera Ghazi Khan (now in Pakistan) to Hazur Sahib in Maharashtra, he chanted the Divine Name with every step\u2014reciting &#8220;Wahe&#8221; with his left foot and &#8220;Guru&#8221; with his right.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meditation_at_Hazur_Sahib_%E2%80%93_Two_Years_of_Divine_Bliss\"><\/span>Meditation at Hazur Sahib &#8211; Two Years of Divine Bliss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At Hazur Sahib, Sant Ji meditated on the banks of the river Godavari for two years. So deeply engrossed in the Divine Name, he often went weeks without food, relying only on water from the Godavari. He accepted food only when it was offered to him and remained entirely detached from worldly needs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Journey_to_Haridwar_and_Rishikesh_%E2%80%93_A_Year_in_the_Forests\"><\/span>Journey to Haridwar and Rishikesh &#8211; A Year in the Forests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From Hazur Sahib, Sant Attar Singh Ji continued his spiritual march to Haridwar and Rishikesh. In the dense forests of Rishikesh, near a serene fountain, he entered a trance-like state (Samadhi), meditating for almost a year. Despite the presence of wild animals visiting the fountain at night, Sant Ji remained undeterred, immersed in his divine pursuit.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seeking_Solitude_%E2%80%93_Meditative_Travels_Across_Holy_Lands\"><\/span>Seeking Solitude &#8211; Meditative Travels Across Holy Lands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While at Rishikesh, Sant Ji expressed his desire to meditate in a quiet and secluded place. Sant Ram Singh of Thamali guided him to hermitages in Sialkot and Rawalpindi (now in Pakistan). Together, they traveled through Himachal Pradesh, visiting places like Dehradun, Paonta Sahib, Baru, Kumharhatti, Anandpur Sahib, Una, and Gurdaspur before reaching Sialkot. Along the way, they paid obeisance at revered shrines, including Paonta Sahib and Anandpur Sahib.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Unrevealed_Baru_%E2%80%93_A_Sacred_Place_of_Meditation\"><\/span>The Unrevealed Baru &#8211; A Sacred Place of Meditation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During their journey, Sant Ji meditated at Baru, an almost unknown and serene location.
