Sri Nanaksar Gurudwara is
situated in Ludhiana District, about 3 kms from
the town of Jagraon along the road from Ludhiana
to Moga and Ferozepur. Sri Nanaksar made its sacred
beginning nearly a hundred years ago, as a humble
hut (Kutia) in the thick of a jungle
and the presence of a holy Saint Baba Nand Singh
ji, a legend of the spiritual world of the Sikh
community. His worthy successors-Baba Ishar Singh
ji and Baba Sadhu Singh ji carried forward the
spiritual legacy of Baba Nand Singh ji and gave
peace of mind and solace to millions of devotees
for over ten decades. Today, Sri Nanaksar has
sprawling institutional and residential complex,
a divine sarovar that was completed by Baba Ishar
Singh ji in a record time of twenty eight days.
Baba Sadhu Singh ji established another institution
named as Baba Nand Singh Ishar Singh Charitable
Hospital and a magnificent modern Diwan Hall capable
of accommodating nearly ten thousand sangat at
a time. The earth, the air, the trees of Sri Nanaksar
are hallowed by the living spirit of the holy
saints, Baba Nand Singh ji and Baba Ishar Singh
ji. The grace of Guru is experienced by every
visitor to the Gurudwara. There is no tradition
for the preparation for the Langar here but the
devotees whether a few hundred or few thousands
or a few lakhs, never go back without food.
The sacred sound of Gurbani, perpetually emanating
from the Sachkhand hall instill an aura of divine
purity. Here lives still, one of the most venerable
livings saints of the time, Baba Sadhu Singh ji
who has served both the holy saints as their Mukh
Sewadar. His frails lips over ninety six year
old still keep churning out the blessings of holiest
elixir "Wahe Guru",
every moment of the day, every moment of the night,
for every devotee coming to him.
Baba Sadhu Singh ji has got blessings of Baba
Nand Singh Ji and Baba Ishar Singh Ji in his life.
That was the great time when he was entrusted
the spiritual responsibility and headship of Sri
Nanaksar Samprada. Since then Baba Sadhu Singh
ji has devoted all his life for the flourishing
of Sri Nanaksar.
Baba Sadhu Singh ji has a divine personality whose
aim is to carry the spritual glory of Nanaksar
to its heights.
Even at this stage when he is going to complete
one century of his life, he is still active to
serve Sri Nanaksar. He is such a kind of personality
that people feel attracted to sit near him.
Today Sri Nanaksar is known all over the world
for its spiritual uniqueness. Sri Nanaksar is
a center of spreading thoughts of “Gurbani”.
