Maharaj Jagat Singh Ji, Sant
Sat Guru, Radha Soami
Satsang Beas (1948–1951)[1]
(also known as Sardar
Bahaudur Jagat Singh) was
born on 20 July 1884 at Nussi,
a small village not very far
from Beas in the Punjab,
India. He received His
education in the Mission School
at Jalandhar and later took his
M.Sc. degree in Chemistry. He
joined the Punjab Agricultural
College, Lyallpur, in 1911 as
Assistant Professor of
Chemistry and retired as Vice
Principal of the institution in
1943 receiving the title Sardar
Bahaudur for his meritorious
service.
On 28 December 1910 he was
initiated into the Mystic
Practice of Surat Shabd Yoga
or Nam Bhakti by Huzur
Maharaj Baba Sawan Singh Ji.
He practised it very
assiduously and conscientiously
and, even as a professor, He
was popularly known among the
staff as well as the students
as 'Guru Ji'. He had only two
interests - His official duties
and His spiritual practices,
both of which were performed
with unusual fervour. His faith
in the Satguru was
unshakeable.
Once, while in Lyallpur, he
called upon Sain Lasuri Shar, a
highly evolved ascetic, with a
message from his Huzur
Maharaj Baba Sawan Singh Ji.
He used to carry such
messages frequently between
the two mystics. The ascetic
was so pleased with this
particular message that he
embraced Sardar Bahadur Ji
and offered to open up the
Inner Vision immediately. The
offer, to which anyone would
have succumbed, was politely
but firmly declined with the
words that His own Master
would do this as and when He
thought proper. Unremitting in
the discharge of his duties, He
left the imprint of a masterly
mind on whatever he undertook
to do; and it would be no
exaggeration to say that much
of the reputation of the
Lyallpur College was due to his
painstaking efforts. His help
and guidance was sought by
all, irrespective of their
position, and He was a tower
of strength to the
administration. Although
extremely tender at heart, He
was a strict disciplinarian
whose sound judgement,
humane methods and efficient
handling of situations won Him
high esteem and honour.
Always ready to pass on to
others the credit due to Him,
never standing for any show,
He was unostentatious to an
amazing degree. Many are the
instances where He
anonymously paid fees for
students, even educated some
abroad, without their having
ever known who the donor was
and without Himself knowing
the donees.
Throughout his long service He
made it a point to spend most
of his weekends with his
Satguru ( Baba Sawan Singh Ji
Maharaj) at the Dera, and
many a person in Lyallpur owes
initiation from Huzur Maharaj
Sawan Singh Ji to His
solicitude for them.
After his retirement in 1943,
He spent practically all his
time in meditation and Shabd
Abhyas (Practice) till He
assumed charge of His
Master's work at Beas in April
1948 and engrossed Himself
fully in carrying out the
functions and duties
entrusted to Him, despite His
indifferent health.
He talked little, used words
sparingly, went straight to the
point - often quite bluntly. At
such moments, His quiet brown
eyes would light up with a
flash.
He died quietly early on the
morning of 23 October 1951.
The day before, He had
dictated His will and given
instructions about His funeral.
* Sayings:- "Both renunciation and
attachment pertain to the
mind. Outward forms and
symbols have nothing to do
with them."[citation needed]
"95% of spirituality is 'clear
thinking'."[citation needed]
"Enter this garden of the
world. Take a walk in it. Enjoy
the fragrance of the flowers.
Eat fruits and behold the
beauties of Nature, but do not
get entangled in thorns and
prickly shrubs, lest you may
get abrasions and
wounds."[citation needed]
* Teachings:- "You are to live in the world,
but in a sensible way. Enjoy
the world and its objects, but
realize their true worth. They
are meant to serve you. Take
full service from them but do
not yourself become their
slave. Let not your mind be so
entangled in attachment to
these objects that, instead of
being of service to you, they
become your
master"[citation needed]
"The creator of the entire
universe is one without a
second. He is the vital force at
the root of all activity. Though
he is the creator of the
macrocosm as well as the
microcosm, he himself resides
within all."[2]
"Seek a Perfect Master. Learn
from Him the Science of Surat
Shabd Yoga. Attach yourself
to the Voice of God which calls
within you at the eye centre.
Follow this Divine Melody. Like
a powerful magnet, it will pull
you up and take you to the
feet of the Lord, whence
these currents emanate. These
are the teachings of the
Saints (Sant Mat) in a
nutshell." [3]. *This site is under construction* *NOTE:-"This is not an official site of Dera Baba Jaimal Singh,Radha Soami Satsang Beas,you can visit the official website of Radha Soami Satsang Beas on www.rssb.org we at www.rssb.wapsite.me are the followers of Radha Soami Faith." 11
