I know of the letters but haven't asked about how the gurgaddi was given to the next in line.Ĭan't really say Baba Balak was extra considering he started their namdhari panth and is praised by the namdhari sangat. They still respect the other Gurus but place those two at the most importance (even higher than how one would look at Guru Gobind Singh Ji)Ī majority of them believe in the new guru even though the Gurgaddi wasn't exactly given to him. They believe Guru Nanak Dev Ji, and Baba Ram Singh are the highest of the Gurus. I have a namdhari kirtan teacher (that grew up in Bhaini Sahib) and know several of them.įirst, Namdharis place an importance on their Gurus. Never claimed you to be a Namdhari, so for the record. He also believed in Gurgaddi of the one true Guru: Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji however, his successor wanted to put himself on the pedestal and made lies about Ram Singh calling himself Guru, and made lies that the 10th Guru lived for 120 years and gave the Gurgaddi to one of his servants and that servant gave Gurgaddi to Ram Singh. His group gave Shaheedi for Indian independence and to promote the Kirpan Bill which legalized Kirpans in India, (Civilian Sikhs before were arrested just for owning Shastar), today Naamdharis don't wear it anymore.Įventually what happened if Ram Singh was he was exiled to Burma where he eventually died, his followers believe he will return. Naamdharis were created by Baba Ram Singh who was a Mahapurukh who was one of the key Indian revolutionaries against the British. This Sant Nirankari Mission was completely excommunicated in 1978-1979 during the Sikh Shaheedis against this movement, and this is the only modern fake Guru movement with complete excommunication. He preached in Naam Jaapo over the political Sikh Raj, and was a key opponent of Hindu practices, (before 90% of Sikhs had marriages around Hindu fires, he made the Anand Karaj official for all Sikhs).ĭyal Singh's successor was a drunkard named Bhai Buta Singh and created the new branch called the Sant Nirankari Mission, as well as calling himself Guru, and Dyal Singh's legacy was over the Nirankaris who didn't approve of him joined "mainstream Sikhi", (as in Chack Amrit and follow the one true Guru, Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji).


Nirankaris were created as a branch to revieve Sikhs to Gurbani by someone named Baba Dyal Singh. To understand both of these groups, you need to understand the dynamic of that time they were created.
