With the Ultimate Kirpa of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj, Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji Pehowa Wale visited New York for a 14 day tour which was aimed at further encouraging people to join Guru Ji's Khalsa Panth. Baba Ji arrived at JFK International Airport on the 8th April, where an approximate 300 people came to greet Baba Ji upon arrival. Many people from all over the United States had arrived to welcome Baba Ji and take part in the 14 day tour which was to take place.
The Committee of Gurdwara Baba Makhan Shah Lobana had also arrived at the Airport and requested Baba Ji upon arrival to travel straight to the Gurdwara Sahib where many other member of Sangat were awaiting Baba Ji's arrival. Having just landed Baba Ji travelled directly to the Gurdwara Sahib where Sangat greeted Baba Ji with Bole So Nihaal De Jikaareh to demonstrate the appreciation of Baba Ji's arrival.
During the tour Baba Ji carried out 14 consecutive Kirtans at Gurdwara Baba Makhan Shah Lobana where Sangat from all over the world including Toronto, Vancouver, California, Chicago, Milwaukee, Indiana, England, Belgium, Austria and many other places within Europe had arrived to take part continuing Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Mission:

                                                                                            "Aap Japo Avraa Naam Japaavo"
Each day a Kirtan Darbar was carried out by Baba Ji, in which hundreds of member of Sangat flourished the Gurdwara Sahib to listen and learn about our religions teachings set out by Guru Ji. Leading up the Vaisakhi celebrations Baba Ji congratulated the Khalsa Panth and requested Unity within to be a major part of our mission in progressing. Baba Ji further stated that in order for one to become successful upmost Respect and Dignity should be shown to our everlasting Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj.
Baba Ji requested the Gurdwara Sahib to build a Khalsa School so that generations of children could learn about our Sikh History and be enlightened onto the Path of Sikhi. Baba Ji requested all Sangat to donate to the Gurdwara Sahib so that a Khalsa School could be made. On the final day the Gurdwara Sahib Committee announced that $400,000 had been donated from Sangat willing to participate in the construction of the School. Baba Ji then stated that all money donated on stage would be left at the Gurdwara Sahib in all future programmes untill a Khalsa school by the Gurdwara Sahib was made.
Leading up to the 300 Year celebrations in 2008, Baba Ji requested all Sangat to carry out Akhand Path Sahibs in order to begin the celebrations and take part in such an amazing time for the entire Khalsa Panth. The first Akhand Path Sahib was carried on behalf of Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji and by the final day an announcement by the Gurdwara Sahib stated that approximately 300 Akhand Path Sahibs had also been listed by Sangat to take place between now and 2008.
During the time Baba Ji wasn't performing Kirtan the majority of daily hours were spent visiting houses in which the Sangat had requested Baba Ji to visit. It was clear by the final day that Baba Ji had won the hearts of Sangat. An Amrit Sanchar was carried out in which many people of the United States became part of the Khalsa Panth. Following the final Kirtan Darbar Baba Ji was presented with a Siropa, to illustrate appreciation by the Sangat.
Baba Ji stated that if ever there was a need for somebody to uplift the souls of fellow Gursikhs all faith should be vested into Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Baba Ji assured it was from here that all needs of a Gursikh could be obtained. Baba Ji stated the New York programme was only successful due to the Ultimate Kirpa of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj our everlasting Beloved Guru Ji.
