Nihang Baba Nihal Singh is respected by all. This blog is not agaisnt Nihangs but respects soormeh like Baba Nihal Singh. Please do further research on this gurmukh. Baba Nihal Singh ji has done much more sangat of gursikhs and much more naam / bani abhiyaas then these wannab Nihangs. Niddar also slanders such gurmukhs as Baba Nihal singh (Nihang) , Sant Jarnail Singh(Dam Dama Taksal) and Bhai Randheer Singh (Akhand Kerrtani Jatha). All having darshan of the gurus, where as Niddar has only got his vidiya, and will lead us to a unhappy life.
Where as Niddar talks about these Gurmukhs who have done seva for the panth all there lives, and some of these Gurmukhs carry on doing the seva while we are asleep here.
These stories were found by a gurmukh veer.
Story 1
1964 11 Sikhs were gunned down at Paonta Sahib (Himachal Pradesh) by the Mahant's henchmen.
The sangat of Poanta Sahib had requested head of Tarna Dal (not Nihal Singh, but the one before him) to visit the Gurdwara. They complained that the residing masand was abusing the Gurdwara premises through drinking, raping women that came alone, and making prostitutes dance inside. After several such requests Babaji decided to visit Poanta Sahib accompanied by 13 GurSikhs. They left, from Gurdwara Haria Welan Hoshiarpur, riding horses and horse drawn carts. When they arrived near Gurdwara Poanta Sahib, two GurSikhs carried Babaji's message for the masand requesting initiation of a Akhand Path at the Gurdwara. The masand did not give a definitive answer, instead assured to respond before the next morning. Meanwhile the masand confided with the local police chief, one of his corrupt friends who endorsed and permitted his evil acts.
Babaji started the Akhand Path next morning which proceeded uninterrupted for 2 days. On the 2nd day, the masand came with the police. They arrested Babaji who was outside at that time and fired at the GurSikhs inside, who were conducting the Akhand Path. The GurSikhs had no guns. For they had not come with the intent to fight, but rather to hear the sangat's concerns. As a result they were brutally massacred. Eleven died and two survived. As each Pathi was shot while reciting the Guru Granth Sahib, another simply pushed his body and continued the uninterrupted recitation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Nihal Singh, 21 at the time, continued with his choar sewa (even when he had been shot 3 times) until the last GurSikh was shot. As the Akhand Path was interrupted, Nihal Singh finally fell. The only survivor was the youngest GurSikh, a 11 year old, who was found hiding behind a nagara (drums). Besides him all others were presumed dead. It wasn't until the bodies were being loaded up in a cart that a small child saw Nihal Singh breath and informed the local sikhs. The local sikhs who had gathered by now, screamed to get him some medical attention. Fortunately they succeeded in their efforts. He received medical attention and survived with Vaaheguru's grace. He was subsequently honored by many gurdwaras as "Jinda-Shaheed" Jathedar. The masand was finally removed. Akhand paths are held each year in the commemoration of this event.
Story-2
1980 With the protection of Baba Nihal Singh, Krishan Kaur Khalsa was the first woman to perform kirtan, in recent time, within the confines of Sri Harimandir Sahib. Vikram Singh Khalsa was performing kirtan on the Gurupurab for the birthday for Guru Ram Das Ji. This kirtan was for a Bhog on the roof of the Harimandir Sahib -- not in the main hall. When he finished, he motioned for Krishna Kaur Khalsa to play. As she began some SGPC sevadars moved to stop her but Baba Nihal Singh and some other Nihungs stood in their
way and protected her right to perform kirtan within the confines of the Harimandir Sahib. Still no Sikh woman has performed kirtan in the main darbar.
In 1979, Sikhs of American descent performed Kirtan in Darbar Sahib for the very first time while observing Guru Ram Das's Prakash Utsav. Sardar Vikram Singh Khalsa, Ajeet Singh Khalsa, and Guru Sangat Singh
Khalsa performed kirtan in the main darbar
Story 3
1984: Baba Nihal Singh was Right Hand Man of Sant
Jarnail Singh, and had many gevious with the Indian
Army's and Politians
One Story i heard was that the Army raided the camp and caught Baba Nihal Singh Ji and his Singhs, and tied him upto a jeep and dragged him around the villages on a
rope,tearing his skin apart and painstakenly broke his arms and legs. They tied his beard up with his "nala" from his kachera and beated him continuously. But baba ji ,never gave up and like a Son Of Siri Guru Granth Sahib Jee withstood such pain, due there high jeevan.
You look at these gurmukhs jeevan and then you look at Niddar jeevan, daas asks everyone what good has Niddar has done for the panth which gives him the permission to slander these gurmukhs.
Waheguroo ji ka khalsa, waheguroo ji ki fateh
