Sant Attar Singh & Bhai Randhir Singh

Sant Attar Singh
Bhai Randhir Singh


At another house after Amrit Vela, Pooran Ji told the sangat a story about a particular instance with Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji and Bhai Randheer Singh Ji. I have included the clip at the bottom of the post. In the clip, Pooran Ji is telling the sangat about a time when Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji was doing Amrit vela in a Pind and Bhai Randheer Singh Ji showed up. After the Amrit Vela, the sangat began singing a ‘tharnaa’ “Thooray Vajdheyney Jina Ne Japiyaa, Jina Ne Japiya” which Bhai Randheer Singh Ji objected to. However, Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji replied to Bhai Randheer Singh Ji that the sangat in the village were simple people and from the ‘tharnaa’ they would slowly begin doing Naam Simran. Another individual asked Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji why he was giving Amrit to so many people especially those that were not ‘kesh dharee’. He replied by saying that just like a farmer plants seeds, he knows that some crops will grow and some will not, I am planting seeds within all those who wish to take Amrit. It is up to Guru Sahib Ji whether those seeds will grow and sprout or not. He explained the love that gursikhs had with each other, he said it was common for Bhai Randheer Singh Ji to attend Sant Attar Singh’s Divans, and when he would see Bhai Sahib he would stop and say “I cannot continue Bhai Randheer Singh ji is here and he will do keertan.
