SIKH SPIRITUALISTS

PARTAP SINGH ,Brig.(Retd.)
On a divine mission

Retd. Brigadier Partap Singh ji

With an aim to break the caste/ class barriers and promote the concept of “All are children of one God”, Brig Partap Singh Jaspal (retd) founded the Guru Nanak Data Baksh Lai Mission in 1999. A direct disciple of Sikh saint Baba Nand Singh, Brigadier Jaspal’s sole passion and ambition in life is to share the treasure of divinity which he inherited from his divine master, Baba Nand Singh, and his father, Baba Narinder Singh, IPS (retd).
The mission was launched on the tercentenary of the foundation of the Khalsa, along with a website, www.Baisakhi1999.com.org. Thereafter the mission launched four more websites providing information on the Sikhism. These websites are referred to in religious curriculum by recognised religious indices and association of libraries like the American Library Association.
The mission is non-commercial, as no donations in any form have been accepted since its inception.
Brigadier Jaspal has also authored a book “Eternal glory of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj”, which provides a glimpse of the spiritual personality and inspiring life of the sage of Kaleran. The book is primarily based on his father’s intuitive experiences and face-to-face conversation with Baba Nand Singh. Running into more than 300 pages, the book was displayed at “Pustak Pardarshni” held at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in New Delhi from November 12 to 28.
The mission has many videos to its credit and the latest in the long list are “Satgur Nanak Pargateya”, a tribute to Guru Nanak Dev, and “Sri Harkrishan Dhiayai”, an album on the eighth Sikh Guru. Brigadier Jaspal is also working on an album on Guru Arjan Dev that will be released next year to mark the 400 years of the martyrdom of the fifth Sikh Guru.
Another feather was added to the mission’s cap on the occasion of the fourth centenary celebrations of the Prakash Utsav of Guru Granth Sahib when it screened a three-hour programme at Takht Hazoor Sahib and won applause from the sangat. The programmes of the mission are also telecast in Europe on every Sunday from 8.30 a.m. to 9 a.m. (UK time).
In all humility Brigadier Jaspal says he is merely a servant of society and his sole aim is to spread ideas of humanity. He adds: “I dream of a global community in which there are no man-made barriers of caste, class and creed”. — By Ivninderpal Singh ,
