Tour of The United Kingdom (April 2010)

With the blessing of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji Pehowa Wale visited the UK in April 2010 to celebrate the Birth of the Khalsa. Masses of Sangat nationwide had requested Baba Ji to visit during the Vaisakhi period so that kirtan darbars could be carried out throughout the country.

Baba Ji was largely welcomed upon arrival in the UK where masses of sangat arrived at the airport to greet Baba Ji. Baba Ji and the Jatha were presented with flowers by the UK sangat as a warm welcome into the UK.

With plans in place to carry out the opening ceremony of the newly built Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar, Baba Ji carried out an Ardas and began the sewa of the Nishaan Sahib on the 14th April 2010. Hundreds of members of sangat also attended to take part and pay tribute to the opening ceremony of the first of many Gurdwaras to be built in the UK under the name of Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji Maharaj Rara Sahib Wale.

Once the Nishan Sahib was flying high kirtan darbars were arranged where Baba Ji carried out kirtan for a period of 7 days. Sangat from all over the world joined in the celebrations and arrived in their masses at Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar, to listen to Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji and seek the blessing of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

With the UK sangat illustrating such love and support Baba Ji was requested to carry out kirtans at Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar on a daily basis. Baba Ji upheld the request of the Sangat and performed alongside the Jatha explaining and enlightening many souls onto the path of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Baba Ji informed all the Sangat that our 10th Guru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji had sacrificed everything for us 311 years ago, simply so that we could become part of the Khalsa Panth and live lives of truthfulness upholding principles of the Sikh religion. Baba Ji stated that some 311 years ago Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji had created the Khalsa Panth and blessed us all with the title of the Khalsa. Baba Ji requested all to follow the path of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and those who had no yet joined the Khalsa Panth to get ready as an Amrit Sanchar was to be held in the coming days.

Although daily kirtans darbars were held at Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar, Baba Ji was requested to carry our kirtan by the majority of other Gurdwara Sahibs situated widely within the UK. However due to the lack of time Baba Ji simply visited Sangat throughout the country further encouraging sangat onto the path of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

An Amrit Sanchar was carried out where many joined the Khalsa Panth and became the sons and daughter of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Baba Ji thanked all the sangat throughout the UK for illustrating such love and support and yet again promised the sangat that they would once again visit later in the year. All the sangat presented Baba Ji with a Siropa as a sign of appreciation for Baba Ji and he Jatha visiting the UK and enlightening many into Sikhi. Baba Ji stated the UK tour was only successful due to the blessing of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji our everlasting Guru Sahib.
