The 9th Mukhi Of Taksal.
Vidya Martand Brahm Giani Sant Ameer Singh Ji.
You were born in village Dargahi Shah, district Jhang on Sammat 1927 Bikrami in the house of Shri Mann S: Prem Singh Ji and Mata Thakur Devi Ji. Mata Ji named you Amir Singh Ji, when you were about fifteen years old after completing your education, one day Shri Mann Sant Jawahar Singh Ji arrived in your town along with the Sangat and started the flow of Gurbani Kirtan. One day, such was the joy of Kirtan that the whole night passed, neither the Saints rested, nor the Sangat broke their fast, there was a joyous and joyful atmosphere on both sides.
The Sangat forgot themselves in enjoying the joy. At this event, Sant Amir Singh Ji’s father S: Prem Singh Ji also came to attend the Saints along with his Barkhurdar.
While enjoying the joy of this divine kirtan, he was inspired that if he could present his child in the company of such great men, he would be worthy in every way. According to this inspiration, he took his child with him and the next day went to Shri Maan Sant Jawahar Singh Ji and prayed that Maharaj! Please place this child at your feet and perform divine kirtan.
Shri Maan Sant Jawahar Singh Ji read everything about the future from the child’s face and with great joy, like a jeweler testing a diamond, he decided to wear it in a crown.
In the year 1942, as per the instructions of the saints, S. Prem Singh Ji took his child (Sant Amir Singh Ji) with Sant Jawahar Singh and others and reached Sri Amritsar. In front of the Sato Wali street, the great Sant Baba Amir Singh Ji and others kept the child (Sant Amir Singh) with them.
S. Prem Singh Ji left the child in the service of the saints and returned. Shri Maan Sant Amir Singh Ji became ready to serve Sant Jawahar Singh Ji and, following his orders, he used to sell the money in the market to run the dera. He kept bringing the money to the saints and at the same time he kept going to the Raga Viya and remained continuously engaged in service for about three years.
It is said that when Shri Maan Sant Jawahar Singh Ji started going to Gurpuri in Sammat 1945 Bikrami, he gave the arm of this child (Sant Amir Singh Ji) to his disciple Shri Maan Mahant Baba Uttam Singh Ji and said, “This great scholar, the famous scholar of the Panth and you, knowing him as Gurudev, will be the head of the Taksal run by Shri Dasam Patshah Ji, take care of him like this.” He ordered the child that from today onwards you will serve him till the end of your life.
The last command of Sant Jawahar Singh Ji, which Shri Maan Sant Amir Singh Ji and others have followed by taking care of Shri Maan Sant Uttam Singh Ji, is the same as what has been said in the praises of Bhatt and the third Patshah Ji – “Your praise will be heard.” (Page 1396)
Where he spent 24 hours in the service of Gurudev, he did not let any deficiency in the service of his teacher Shri Maan Gyani Bhagwan Singh Ji.
Having rendered great service to these great men, Shri Maan Sant Amir Singh Ji engraved the same secret meaning in his heart and took upon himself the heavy burden of maintaining this service, which he received from Shri Maan i.e. Bakshish Singh Ji for six consecutive years with devotion and service, and that priceless wealth, like a cloud, high and low, beyond the various distinctions of the saint household, continued to shower all his lovers with one juice from Samvat 1951 to Samvat 2011, i.e. for 60 years. Not only did Maharaj Ji keep the treasure of Bir open, but along with it, he would continue to study Dasam Bir, Varan Bhai Gurdas, Kabit Savayye, Ghazals Bhai Nand Lal Ji, Sri Nanak Prakash, Gur Pratap Suraj and other great books of Vedanta all day long.
The special quality among them was that whenever a student came to them and whenever he asked for the clarification of some doubt or requested to be reacquainted with some forgotten meaning, they would get his pleasure without hesitation.
Only one or two examples of your great benevolence are given –
Once upon a time, a police officer named Gurbaksh Singh came to his home to take a 9-month leave from the police. He was a great follower of Gursikhism and a lover of Naam-Bani. According to the ancient rituals, from the very beginning he had a great passion for reading and listening to Bani. After spending three months of leave, he started searching for some great person from whom he could listen to the true meaning of Gurbani and overcome his inner deficiency. Thus, he spent three months in search but did not find anyone who would satisfy his mind, a complete farewell of Mahatma. At that time, when he heard the praises of Shri Maan Sant Amir Singh Ji, he came to him and requested that I have a great passion but time is short, only three months are left, please bless me to listen to the entire story in such a short time.
The saints, in their benevolent and kind nature, said, ‘Good! In the morning, listen to the story with the devotees and during the day, we will make you a high devotee.” In this way, he would spend the whole day, leaving his rest, teaching him. Even when he went out to the canal, he would have the book with him, while walking on the way, while lying down after eating prasad in the camp, he would teach him the devotional service. In this way, he taught the entire story in three months and was given leave before the end of the leave.
In this way, another Ravidasiya lover, who was very fond of reading, came to the saints and requested that he also be allowed so that I may be delighted by receiving the gift of this great nectar. The saints’ view was the same, but the other students could not bear to see this and said, “Maharaj! If you have to make this chamar sit among us and teach him the devotional service, then we will all go and teach him only, we will not let the chamar sit among us.”
The saints said, lovers! Every day we listen to the story of Gurbani. “Yes, Chamar is a man who is proud of his body.”
“Sa Jaati Sa Pati Hai Jehe Karma Kamai” [Prabhati M: 1, Page 1330]
But when he did not agree, the saints told that lover, “Bai! You have to do the Santha, we will do it for you alone after all the saints have left.” He agreed. He made him complete the entire Santha by teaching it every day from nine to twelve o’clock. Similarly, another lover whose name is G: Kesar Singh Ji, and in those days he was working in Wazir Hind Press to correct the scriptures etc. of Bhai Sahib Bhai Vir Singh Ji. He came to you and requested for education and from 1925 to 1929 he continuously recited four Kathas of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Then he prayed for the study of Dasam Granth Ji that Maharaj! At the time when you recite Katha in the afternoon, the servant does not get time off from duty, please give him some other time, so you fixed a good time for him in the morning before the Katha of Amrit Vela from Sri Darbar Sahib Ji and in two years on this date, he taught the entire Dasam Granth to me alone. This is an example of one of your great benevolences.
You had such respect for Gurbani that you are your own example.
At that time, Shri Maan Baba Uttam Singh Ji wrote and prepared the holy book of Sri Guru Granth Sahib 15 with his kar-kalams. (Which I have mentioned earlier) When the binding was started, the pages had swelled due to the use of Jajmiri paper, a lot of weight was put on them to press them down, on the same day Mahant Sahib Ji also fell ill. Two months passed, after undergoing many treatments, he did not get better, then Shri Maan Brahm Gyani Sant Amir Singh Ji prayed to his Guru in fear that Maharaj! You know the whole story, the servant thinks that due to putting weight on Sri Guru Granth Sahib, your body is suffering so much, if you remove the weight, you will definitely get better. Mahant Sahib Ji accepted the loving request of his beloved disciple (great man) and removed the weight, he also got better that day.
Seeing your sacrifice, even the loveless king and the foreigner are forgotten. When you obeyed the word of your revered father, Mr. Prem Singh Ji, and went to the shelter of Sant Jawahar Singh Ji, your parents were very sad due to your separation from them, as they were the only son and a talented person. At first, Mata Ji was patient, thinking that he would come back soon after completing his education, but when you did not return after many years, Mata Ji herself went to Sri Amritsar and requested Mahant Baba Uttam Singh Ji to take her child home with her. After going home and being separated from Gurdev, you did not feel any pain, and after staying for a few days, you returned to Amritsar. After some time, Mata Ji came again and requested Baba Uttam Singh Ji as before because she knew that even if he had to go, he would not break his promise to Gurdev and would definitely go. Hearing Mata Ji’s prayer, Mahant Baba Uttam Singh Ji called him and said, “Your mother has come to take you away. What do you think?” Then he said, “Maharaj! Keep me at your feet, and Mata Ji is taking care of my son who is trapped in the trap of attachment. Please grant me the boon of another son.” Mahant Sahib’s love for others was no less than that of his worthy, talented and obedient disciple, Sant Amir Singh. He also wanted to stay with us. So he told his mother, “Now you should leave these thoughts behind, Guru Ramdas Ji will bless your house with another child.” Believing in the words of the great men, his mother went away. After some time, according to “Saadh Bachan Atladha.” his younger brother (whose name was S: Kisan Singh Ji) was born. Then his mother never made much effort to take him away.
A brief indication of his patience is that in the story, many sages would ask the same meaning four or five times, but his forehead never got a scratch.
His dress was very simple, an open kurta, which did not even need to be buttoned. He wore a loose double turban, which was simply tied and in the winter he would wear only a kachhira and a khadar chadar. He always kept the Bhumasana posture to respect his elders. Every day, after getting up at one o’clock and taking bath etc. He used to listen to the Sri Mukhwak of Sri Darbar Sahib Ji as a daily ritual, after which he would come to the dera and organize a Santha, which he would perform every year before Diwali and would start a new Santha after the Gurpurab of Punya in Katak. Thus, for sixty years continuously, he used this invaluable treasure. There is no such country, area, village, city or town from which a gentleman has not been blessed by receiving written knowledge and spiritual knowledge from you, and there is no such thing among the six darshans, from which no saint has not been able to receive education from you.

Countless lovers have attained self-realization from you, who will be mentioned in detail in your separate published life.*
Thus, after carrying the burden of serving the Gurbani sect Taksal on his head for 60 years, he crossed the age of 84 at the age of 84 and sat at the feet of the Guru on 17 October 1954, corresponding to 2011 Bikrami 1 Katak, and behind him, according to the meaning of “Hode Guru Beh Tikya”, he left his fragrant flower garden with his own hands.
“Takht Raja So Beh Ji Takhta Laik Hoi”
(According to page 1088, Shri Man Sant i.e. Kirpal Singh Ji, the jewel of the Panth, the treasure of humility, the storehouse of wisdom, the ocean of patience and the infinite source of sweetness of Dul Dul Pae, knowing him to be endowed with all virtues, he gave permission to complete the story of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaj which he had begun and whose recitation was at the beginning of Tukhari Rag, and said, “Jyoti oha jugati sai se kaya pher palti ai.” [page 966], according to the great saying of Shri Man 108 Brahm Gyani Sant Amir Singh Ji handed over everything to Shri Man i.e. Kirpal Singh Ji by giving a pat on the back.
Due to severe pain, Maharaj Ji was admitted to a special room in the month of Bhadron and was treated for a month and a few days, then he remained in the hospital and said that you are worthy in every way from now on, even then If you want to ask anything else, then ask, the service of this Santha is to be performed in the same way as care, then Shri Maan Sant Giani Kirpal Singh Ji with folded hands and placing his head on the feet humbly requested that your gracious hand be placed on my head, you can make even the dumb understand the meaning of the scriptures.
“Ji bulavah teu bolah Swaami kudreti kavan hamari” (page 508)
I have no power, you yourself have to place your hand of grace on the head of the servant, the servant will follow your orders in every way. After a few days, as per the doctor’s advice, Maharaj Ji was brought to his dera around 20th of Sammat 2011 Assu. Coming to his place of service, he said many words of gratitude. All the students of the dera took their full share in the service, at the end of the day, Giani Kirpal Singh Ji was seated next to him and given auspicious teachings. He said, that the service of the revered Gurudev Shri Maan 108 Mahant Baba Uttam Singh Sahib Ji should be taken care of well. Giani Kirpal Singh Ji again requested with folded hands, Swami Ji! I need your blessed hand on my head, as if you yourself have to get the service done.”
Thus, after hearing the words of devotion, he entrusted everything to his beloved disciple Shri Maan Sant Gyani Kirpal Singh Ji through the grace of God and bequeathed the dera, and on 1st Katak 2011, he left this world with a cheerful face and attained liberation and went to the feet of the Guru.
“Jiyo Jal Meh Jalu Aay Khatana || Tiyo Jyoti Sangi Jyoti Samana ||” [Page 278] During the procession of his body, the eyes of lakhs of devotees were filled with tears of dispassion and love.
At that time, every devotee The sadhu arrived and was saying, “Today the sun of the royal assembly of Seva Panthi Addan has set.”
And “The loss that has been suffered by the Sikh sects and other lovers and the people of the world will never be compensated.”
Such a great benefactor, Bhushan Sant Sri Maan 108 Brahm i.e. Sant Amir Singh Ji’s Katha Sthan, Sri Maan Sant i.e. Kirpal Singh Ji is constantly caring about the Katha and is distributing the storehouse of nectar to the Sangat.
