17th January 1872: On His departure from Sri Bhaini Sahib, bidding farewell to his countrymen. Satguru Ram Singh Ji is seen in a bullock cart having covered himself with Mata Karmo’s black blanket and consoling his perturbed sangat.
“Only naam can purify the mind which is polluted by sin. It is the only truth which will be our companion in life and even after death.” as the Bani says:
ਪਜਹ ਮਰਾਰਗ ਕਮੇ ਗਨਮੇ ਜਰਾਪਹ ਨ ਕਸੋਸਰਾ ॥
Jih marag ke gane jahi na kosa.
On that endless path after death where the miles cannot be counted
ਹਪਰ ਕਰਾ ਨਰਾਮਪੁ ਊਹਰਾ ਸਤੂੰਪਗ ਤਸੋਸਰਾ ॥
Har ka nam uha sang tosa.
There, the Name of the Lord shall be your sustenance.
ਪਜਹ ਪਿਹੈਡਹੈ ਮਹਰਾ ਅਤੂੰਧ ਗਪੁਬਰਾਰਰਾ ॥
Jih paidai maha andh gubara.
On that journey of total, pitch-black darkness
ਹਪਰ ਕਰਾ ਨਰਾਮਪੁ ਸਤੂੰਪਗ ਉਜਨੀਆਰਰਾ ॥
Har ka nam sang ujiara.
The Name of the Lord shall be the Light with you.

Sri Satguru Uday Singh Ji graced the Sadh Sangat of UK from 17th to 20th May 2018. It was an unexpected ‘mini dhora‘. The Sadh Sangat had His pious darshan and blessing during gatherings in West London, Leicester and East London. The first two Asa De Vaars and one evening dewaan were hosted by Namdhari Sikh Sangat Southall. The dhora contingent then went on to Birmingham, Leicester and East London. In London the program of 19th May was dedicated in memory of Sri Bebe Dalip Kaur Ji and on 20th May, the sadh sangat remembered the late Prof Tara Singh Anjan Ji.
Two Asa de Vars took place in the Namdhari Community center in Southall and the ‘shaam da dewaan’ of 17 May, was at the Navnat Community Hall. Shabad Kirtan was performed by local raagis – led by Sant Kirpal Singh Panesar & UK jatha. During the Asa de Vars of 17/18 May 2018, Raagi Kirpal Singh sung melodic raags and shabads performed included:
- ਕੋ ਬਨਜਾਰੋ ਰਾਮ ਕੋ ਮੇਰਾ ਟਾਂਡਾ ਲਾਦਿਆ ਜਾਇ ਰੇ ॥
- ਏ ਸਰੀਰਾ ਮੇਰਿਆ ਇਸੁ ਜਗ ਮਹਿ ਆਇ ਕੈ ਕਿਆ ਤੁਧੁ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇਆ ॥
- ਘਰ ਮਹਿ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਨਦਰਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥
- ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦੇਖਦਿਆ ਦੁਖ ਭੁਖ ਗਈ ਢਾਢੀ ਕਉ ਮੰਗਣੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥
- ਮੈ ਕਰਮਹੀਣ ਕਬ ਹੀ ਗਲਿ ਲਾਵੈ ॥
The closing solaks of Sri Adi Guru Granth Sahib were read to conclude a paath in memory of Mata Kirpal Kaur Bhamra (w/o Sant Joginder Singh Bhamra) who sadly passed away on 6th May 2018. Mata Kirpal Kaur and family has done selfless seva during Sri Satguru Partap Singh Ji’s visits to East Africa and Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh ji’s dhoras to Kenya & UK. She was a devout member of the Southall Sadh Sangat. Shardaanjali (tribute) were said by Southall General Secretary Ajeet Singh.
Earlier the raagis recited the bani of Guru Teg Bahadur – shabad ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ਕਉ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਨਹੀ ਆਵੈ ॥ (Praanee Ko Har Jas Man Nehee Aavai) and the Bhagat Ravidas shabad ਜੋ ਦਿਨ ਆਵਹਿ ਸੋ ਦਿਨ ਜਾਹੀ ॥ (Jo Dhin Aavehi So Dhin Jaahee).

Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji is revered as one of the most influential personalities who shaped the course of history and left an indelible mark on the millennium. He viewed political freedom as an integral aspect of religion and had a profound and lasting influence that altered the trajectory of British rule in India. His wisdom and philosophical outlook continue to inspire humanity, profoundly impacting his contemporaries and generations to follow.
Satguru Ji's progressive stance on gender equality alone places him among the greatest reformers in history. His teachings emphasized the welfare of all humankind, and his charisma during India's struggle for independence not only ignited the spirit of Sikhism but also inspired thousands to follow his path, giving rise to the Namdhari community, often called "Kookas."
A beacon among the world’s great spiritual leaders, Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji infused his spiritualism with action and sacrifice. In the aftermath of the Sikh Empire’s decline, when despair and demoralization gripped the Sikh community, he reignited the teachings and spirit of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Guru Gobind Singh Ji. With a well-defined mission, he instilled discipline and a sense of purpose in his followers, aligning them with the Gurus' vision.
In 2016, Namdhari Sangats around the globe celebrated the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji, honoring his legacy and enduring contributions to humanity.
