Baba Iqbal Singh’s greatest asset in spirituality has been to remain humble in his achievements while demonstrating his quest to transform society through his vision of establishing lasting peace in the world with value based education and spiritual rejuvenation.
The author, inspired by Baba Iqbal Singhji’s story, brings out the turbulent history of Punjab together with contributions of Sant Attar Singh and Sant Teja Singh towards improving the condition of the masses through access to modern education and spiritual training, thus creating evolved global citizens and great world leaders.
The charismatic life of Baba Iqbal Singh and the story of his evolution post-retirement from a bureaucrat to a spiritual leader of eminence is inspiring. He runs Baru Sahib, part of the Kalgidhar Trust, like a Gurukul where teachers and students live together in austerity and compatibility, learning life skills. In the process, he has successfully transformed education in Punjab.
The closing chapter titled ‘Music for Peace’ is especially uplifting.
As Akal Academy celebrates thirty years of its formation, I wish Baba Iqbal Singh ji all the best in his continuance of this journey of transcendence.
