it from others and mark it as unique in the Universe from all the known cultures established in Satyug, Treta, Dawapar and Kalyug. Mahan Babaji did not allow the Maya in any form to enter His Holy Place. The Holy Place of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj was the First such unique Place in the world, where offering of money was totally banned and prohibited. Baba Ji had neither seen the currency in any form be it notes, coins or gold, what to say of keeping it, nor He had given permission to the Behangams (Sewadars, Kirtanias and Pathis) serving the Lord of Kalyug (Sri Guru Granth Sahib) to keep with them. At the Holy Place of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj, woman was not permitted inside nor she could stay there. She could only come to attend congregations alongwith her husband or other elderly male member of her family and immediately leave thereafter. Thus His Holy Place was totally free from the presence of Kamini and Kanchan. Babaji never talked to any woman alone. At the Holy Place of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj food was not cooked, nor there was any need to collect the food materials. No instructions were ever given, no one was ever asked nor any arrangements ever made to collect or bring such items. There were times, when food was not available for few days. In such contingencies the Behangams had to survive by eating tree leaves, but no one went asking or begging or collecting food.
Food is the sustainer of life. Man cannot survive himself, cannot live without food. Man lives on the support of food. Food is the asra, adhaar of life. Sri Guru Amar Das Ji says, that true Nam is my true Support, is my sole Asra and Adhaair and this Divine True Name has satisfied all my hungers and has become my sole support. Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj proved beyond a trace of doubt that an institution could live and sustain itself on the sole support of Nam. The Holy Dwelling Place of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj was the only such place where prevailed total Dependence, total Reliance on Nam only and nothing else. There was no dependence and reliance on langars, on money, on rich people, on big farms, on buildings/deras etc. Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj proved beyond any doubt that the Nam is the Supreme Support and all other wants and dependencies cease forthwith with the sole support on Nam. Such is the unique glory of total Reliance and total Dependence on “Nam Ke Jahaj” Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Mahan Babaji used to explain and stress that a true sikh does not go for, does not run after charities, money, gifts etc ignoring and leaving aside the true Lord, the True Giver of such things, the Divine Donor. Where the Majestic Darbar of the Lord of Kali Age, Lord Guru Nanak is in full Bloom and Nectar in the form of the Divine Name is continuously flowing, diversion of attention towards any form of Maya causes cracks in true love relationship with the Lord. Diversion of mind from the Dataar to Daat is like committing a spiritual suicide. While glancing through spiritual history, I have not come across a single instance in all the ages, of such a place where sadhus, sanyasis, had not gone for collecting, begging for food or food items from the 'people or their houses. Surprisingly in the midst of Kali age, Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj established a holy place which, in all aspects, was totally devoid of any influence of any form of Maya. The Holy Dwelling of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj was far above the sway of the three Gunas of Prakriti. There is no such place in the entire world, which had displayed such complete and perfect reliance, complete dependence on the Lord. The diversion of attention from the Lord to anything material is a sign of deficiency and weakness in true faith and total reliance on the Lord. The setting up of SachKhand on the surface of Mother Earth, in this materialistic dark-age of Kalyug, establishment of SachKhand in its pristine purity and glory, totally free from all the impurities of this materialistic world, goes to the credit of Mahan Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj. My father Baba Narinder Singh Ji, while hailing praises and Glory of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj in a deep state of divine rapture used to proclaim in loud voice: “Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj Bibi Bholan Rani, then used to take harmonium and start raising the 'dhuni' in form of kirtan, and the entire sangat present used to sing loudly: “Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj No publicity was ever made in any form, neither any letters sent nor any invitations issued to anyone. The Holy Darbar used to be invariably at far-flung places, away from towns and not well connected by road or rail. But still devotees in lakhs used to come to attend the Holy Darbar like swarms of bees, like chatrik birds, like bumble bees to taste the Nectar of Lord's Honey and to get themselves drenched in the Nectar of Swanti Boond of this unique Darbar carved out on this Mother Earth by Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj. This was the only Sacred Darbar on the Globe where except for hailing the Glory of the Lord, no third person ever crept in. No siropas were ever presented to anybody, how high he may be, no one was ever praised and no Ardaas was ever performed in anybody's name. All Glory to the Greatest of the Great, The Highest of the High, The Purest of the Pure, my Beloved Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj totally disinterested in worldliness, richest in desirelessness. Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj is One without a second. How true and satisfying is the dhuni “Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj
