Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji - Pt 2 of 2

(By my Brother)

...Sant Baba Attar Singh ji requested his mother to receive Amrit. She wouldn’t. Khalsa ji, I pleaded with Sikh women to receive Amrit, but they say things like, “O my husband is going to receive it and I’ll be blessed to.” But, I say remember Maharaaj Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji’s words,

“Karmee apo apnee, ke nerai ke dhoor.”
“Our actions are our own,
some are close to God
and some are far away.”

Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji continued, “Mata Ji, dearest mother, recieve Amrit and make your life successful.” She said, “O don’t worry about me son, I’ll take Amrit one day.” Sadly, she passed away soon afterwards. Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji was in a nearby village administrating Amrit as part of the Punj Pyare. After the ceremony he got the message of his mother’s demise and he quickly returned home. Thousands of people had already gathered.
All her life she had never missed her daily prayers and meditation (Nitnem and Naam), but she had never received Amrit. Amrit has to be received by a person on the spiritual path so that they can reap the fruits of their spiritual labouring. For example, one particular fruit tree’s seeds don’t germinate until a bird eats the fruit and wherever the bird’s droppings fall the undigested seed takes root. Nitnem and Naam is the seed, but until you recieve amrit from the Punj Pyare it’s not going to take root and grow in you.
Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji’s mother’s body was prepared for cremation. In the next world the Divine Judge, Dharam Raj, was reading her life’s accounts. He said, “I can’t send you to hell because you are the mother of a great Sant. But, I can’t send you to God’s Realm, Sach Khand, because you didn’t receive Amrit. So I am going to do one thing for you, your body hasn’t been cremated yet, go back to the world, receive Amrit then return.” The gathered audience was shocked when Mata Ji rose up and told the story of her accounts with Dharam Raj and that he had given her two more days in which to receive Amrit. Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji as part of the Punj Pyare prepared Amrit and about 20,000 people were blessed with the great gift of Amrit.
It is not easy prepare that much Amrit. When Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji used to sing Waheguru Ji’s praises by doing Kirtan, rivers used to stop flowing! Sants like this are few and far between.
20,000 people came, not all of them had the 5K uniform, Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji said receive Amrit and put your 5Ks on as soon as you get home. The 5Ks are tremendously important but the prayer of a Sant is heard by Guru Ji and flexibility is allowed in exceptional circumstances. The Punj Pyare were exhausted, line after line of people received the Amrit-nectar. O Khalsa
Ji, she was the mother of a Sant so she was allowed to come back, but who’s going to let us come back?

Bhagat Namdev Ji

(By my Brother)
Artist impression of Bhagat Namdev Ji
Bhagat Namdev Ji lived about 200 hundred years before Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaaj. In his house there was a special place kept just for prayer. His father worshipped to God by praying in front of a stone idol, which he kept in that special room. Every night he would take milk before the stone and say a prayer asking God to bless his family by drinking milk. One day his father was going out and said to Namdev, "Just in case I am late, I want you to do the prayers today and make sure you let God drink the milk. Don't wait for me, we must'nt let God go hungry".

Evening came and Namdev was worried. It was getting late and his father had not yet returned... he had never served a meal to God before and wasn't sure what to do. In the end, he had no choice... the sun was setting and he had to keep his word. Very carefully he washed the gold cup and filled it with fresh milk. He was frightened but still went into the prayer room and put the cup before the stone and started to pray.

He prayed and prayed but each time he opened his eyes, the cup was still full, nothing had happened - God had not drunk the milk. So, Namdev prayed even harder, but still nothing happened. He was getting really worried now... What would happen if his father came back and found that God hasn't drank the milk and had gone hungry? His father would be furious that he had let him down. Who knows what bad luck would fall on the family.

Bhagat Namdev started to cry and plead with God... "Please, please come and drink the milk otherwise my father will get very angry with me".

He prayed so hard with a pure heart that in heaven, God heard his prayer. He looked down on Namdev and was very happy. He sent miraculous signs but still Namdev would not stop crying because the milk was still untounched.

In the end God laughed with great happiness and came to the prayer room and sat in front of Namdev and drank the milk. There was a holy glow around the house and everywhere there was happiness that God had blessed Namdev. When his father returned he was surprised to see thousands of people flocking to see the place where this miracle happened.
