Before Becoming Jathedar Of Taksal
Sant Ji was performing a Sehaj Paath & the electricity in the
building went. The Singhs who were there went outdoors due to
the heat indoors and after a couple of hours they went back
indoors. One of the Singhs went straight indoors and saw Sant
was still doing Paath and he asked Sant Ji how have you been
reciting the Paath whilst the electricity was gone (as Sant
Ji had done Parkash of the Pothi and carried on as normal,
even though the electricity had just come back - so he
couldn't have set up the Pothis so quickly). Sant Ji said
what can I say - the letters of Gurbani or shining to me in
gold thus I could recite in the dark. (The guy he told this
was a close companion of Sant Ji).
The Singhs went to Hemkunt Sahib and performed an Akhand Paath
at the Gurdwara Sahib and one of Sant's friends had the
midnight duty for Paath of 12am - 2am and he said he got lazy
on the first night and asked Sant if he would do his duty -
Sant Ji obliged and did all 4 hours to 4am. The next night
this Singh got lazy again and asked Sant Ji to do the seva
again, Sant Ji again obliged. This friend of Sant Ji then
awoke at 4am and saw Sant Ji walking across the ice
bare-footed as the sleeping quarters were a bit away from the
Darbar. He asked Sant Ji if he was mad walking on ice and
didn't he feel the cold - Sant Ji replied Dasmesh Pita looks
after his Sikhs. (someone had taken Sant Ji's chapals while
he was on the role/duty).
Before 1984 - Operation Blue Star
When Sant Ji was arrested he called in Bhai Kulwant Singh
Nagoke (who was a Babbar) and told him to make sure that
Punjab is set on fire whilst he is in jail. Bhai Kulwant Singh
and his associates obliged letting off bombs in various
locations.
Whilst in detention - Sant Ji was asked many questions by the
interrogating officers one of the questions was:
- You are the 13th Jathedar of Damdami Taksal, the first
Jathedar Baba Deep Singh fought on even though His head was
chopped off. Do you think you are as powerful as Baba Deep
Singh?
- Sant Ji replied - Chop my head off and test your theory (the police officers were shocked by the response and his audacity)
Yogi Harbhajan Singh was close friends with Indira Gandhi
(they had the same Yoga teacher), he went and met Indira and
said that he could easily kill Sant Ji if she wished (who was
then at Sri Akal Takhat Sahib). A few days later Yogi came to
Sri Darbar Sahib and Sant Ji called him up to meet him. Sant
Ji started describing the room that Yogi had met Indira in
and said there was a guy mouthing off saying he killed Sant -
Sant Ji then said directly to Yogi - the Sant is before you
if you want to kill him, go and have a pop. Yogi got flustered
and started sweating and Sant Ji laughed and said to the
Singhs look it's cold weather and Yogi Ji has started
sweating, run, go and fetch him water.
In Operation Blue Star - Unity With The Babbars
Many make up much gossip about animosity with the Babars and
Sant Ji (there may have been a little bit - but nothing like
the stories you hear). Anyway whilst the attack was going on
Sant Ji wanted to send a message to Pakistan to start an
attack on India - the Singhs had a transmitter in Sri Akhal
Takhat Sahib but no-one could work it to send the message.
Sant Ji called for Bhai Mehal Singh - who risking his life
went through live fire from the Sarai's all the way to Sri
Akhal Takhat Sahib, but he couldn't also get the transmitter
to work - thus he returned to his Morcha point. If there had
been animosity Sant Ji or his associates could have easily
killed Bhai Mehal Singh whilst he was coming or going from Sri
Akhal Takhat Sahib and no-one would have been any wiser due to
the ongoing fire from the Army.
