Dhan Baba Deep Singh Ji...

 

 

15th November marks the Shaheedi Divas (martyrdom day) of Anokhe Shaheed (the unique martyr)- Baba Deep Singh Ji. Baba Ji’s Shaheedi (martyrdom) illustrates the power of Amrit, Gurbani and Naam. The All-Powerful Guru can make anything happen. He can make a Sikh smile and recite Japji in bliss whilst being sawn alive, make a Sikh happily accept being cut piece by piece and not move an inch of their body, and make a Sikh fight with their severed head held in the palm of their hand. 

 

Baba Deep Singh Ji was a master 15 languages, scribe of 5 Saroops of Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, a Saint-mystic absorbed in Naam, a Sarbloh warrior that was matchless on the battlefield, a leader that knew how to unite the Panth, a Parchaarik (preacher) who inspired countless, a scholar who learnt the meanings of Gurbani from Satguru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, an embodiment of Seva (selfless-service), and a banner of justice who protected the poor and weak.
