Seeking a peaceful and secluded place for prolonged meditation, he met Sant Ram Singh Ji at Thamali. On Sant Ram Singh&#8217;s recommendation, a dense forest area called Kanohe di Jhangi, owned by Bhai Wazir Singh, was chosen as the meditation site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prolonged_Meditation_and_Spiritual_Discipline\"><\/span>Prolonged Meditation and Spiritual Discipline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At Kanoha, Sant Ji undertook three intense periods of meditation: first for 40 days, then for six months, and finally for one year. He spoke very little during these years, dedicating himself entirely to spiritual pursuits. Sustained by minimal food served once daily by the devoted couple Bhai Wazir Singh and Mai Bhag Bhari, Sant Ji&#8217;s body became frail due to his intense discipline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guidance_to_Mata_Bholi_and_Spiritual_Realization\"><\/span>Guidance to Mata Bholi and Spiritual Realization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During this time, Sant Ji&#8217;s mother, Mata Bholi, suffered from a painful abscess near her knee. Sant Ji comforted her, emphasizing the importance of tolerance and accepting God\u2019s Will through devotion to the Divine Name. This spiritual guidance led Mata Bholi to achieve inner peace and spiritual enlightenment, enabling her to overcome her suffering and attain Jiwan Mukt (emancipation of the spirit in one\u2019s lifetime). She passed away peacefully, blessed with divine realization.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_of_Sant_Jis_Meditation_on_the_Community\"><\/span>Impact of Sant Ji\u2019s Meditation on the Community<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sant Ji\u2019s prolonged meditations, particularly the year-long one, garnered widespread attention, making Kanoha a center of spiritual attraction. Devotees from across the Rawalpindi district began flocking to the Phulahi grove at Kanoha to witness the sacred aura of Sant Ji. Continuous Gurbani Kirtan and Guru ka Langar uplifted the spiritual environment, further spreading Sant Ji\u2019s fame.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Service_to_Humanity_%E2%80%93_Gurdwara_Mastuana_Sahib_and_Damdama_Sahib\"><\/span>Service to Humanity &#8211; Gurdwara Mastuana Sahib and Damdama Sahib<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before initiating the construction of Gurdwara Mastuana Sahib, Sant Ji renounced material wealth entirely. However, when Kar Sewa (service) for Gurdwara Mastuana Sahib and Gurdwara Damdama Sahib began, donations from devotees were utilized solely for the development of these sacred institutions and the welfare of mankind.<\/p>\n<p>Sant Attar Singh Ji\u2019s life at Kanoha exemplifies selfless devotion, spiritual discipline, and unwavering commitment to serving humanity. His legacy continues to inspire countless devotees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meditation at Tapovan and Meeting Sant Ram Singh Ji In 1894, Sant Attar Singh Ji arrived in Rawalpindi (now in Pakistan) and meditated at Tapovan for some time.
