Gurudwara Ratwara Sahib (Mullanpur)

Gurmat Roohani Mission Charitable Trust, Ratwara Sahib. He was born on June 17, 1918 in Dhamot, Tehsil Pyal, Dist. His father Sardar Kartar Singh and mother Mata Inder Kaur both were religious and deeply connected to Sikh way of life. He got baptized (amrit paan) at the age of four years. He started reciting Gurbani, meditation and J*p (repetition) of Guru Mantra (Waheguru) while studying in the school life. He passed his matriculation examination in the year 1934. He joined Purison Commercial College and did the course of steno and telegraphy. As there was a religious and spiritual atmosphere at home, he remained in touch with many saints right from his childhood. He enjoyed the company of some prominent saints like Sant Attar Singh Ji Mastuana, Baba Nand Singh Ji Kaleran, Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji, Sant Attar Singh Ji Reru Sahib, Sant Dasondha Singh Ji Namdhari, Sant Jodh Singh Ji, and Sant Attar Singh Ji Attale wale. He was eager to surrender himself completely and was in search of the real master. His childhood actions and habits were different than those of ordinary children. He could recognize his toys from his previous birth and direct his mother to find them from the box. Before his birth, he had told his mother in a vision that he would not die as a child like the previous birth and would live for a longer life span. He used to find a lonely place in the early morning for prayer and Nam J*p and would recite WAHEGURU mantra 70000 times. Once in the school, on being asked by the teacher to read the word to***co aloud, he preferred to keep quiet and face the consequences of his teacher's wrath. Sant Ji's father-in-law, Baba Hira Singh was also a realized soul. He came to his native village Dhamot to perform Akhand Path ceremony and foretold his father "You will be blessed with a son and a daughter will be born in our house. As per God's wish, they will be tied in marriage". It so happened, he was married to Bibi Ranjit Kaur in the early age as per the customs of that time. As the time went on, he continued his Nam Sadhna and kept himself busy most of the time in religious affairs and kirtan etc. He was hardly 17 years old when his mother took him to Rara Sahib to introduce him to Sant Isher Singh Ji. At the very first sight of the Holy Saint, he surrendered himself totally. He felt the abode of God in him and started listening the cosmic music within him. The Holy Saint went into deep meditation for 40 minutes after hearing his answer to the question. "Who are you and where do you come from?" The Holy Saint remarked "For the first time ever, my wedded soul has met another wedded soul, so far I have been meeting widows. You have to take just one step to completely merge with the super cosmic energy." These remarks had a great impact on him as mentioned in Gurbani

He decided to fully concentrate and practice the real spiritual experiences. He got away from home and went to Mastuana, Kamalpur, where Sant Shamsher Singh lived. He reached Khara and then Jwahar ki Kothi. He selected a thick jungle of "capparis" trees nearby, where he used to sit in samadhi (posture of meditation) for nearly 22 hours everyday. Jiledar Harcharan Singh used to serve him food only once a day as instructed by him. http://www.ratwarasahib.com/
