Story Of Bhagat Puran Singh | Dhadrianwale The Narrative Of Bhagat Puran Singh, A Renowned Humanitarian And Selfless Servant Who Dedicated His Life To Caring For The Abandoned And Disabled. His Story Illustrates Profound Compassion And Service To Humanity.

Bhagat Puran Singh Ji – A Life of Selfless Service to Mankind

In the world where personal gain often takes precedence over community welfare, few lives shine as brightly as that of Bhagat Puran Singh Ji. He was not just a man of immense compassion, but a living embodiment of the Sikh principle: “Sarbat da Bhala” — the well-being of all.


Early Life and Spiritual Awakening

Bhagat Puran Singh Ji was born on June 4, 1904, in Rajewal (Ludhiana district), Punjab, as Ramji Das to a Hindu family. From an early age, he showed a deep concern for nature and living beings. As he grew, he became drawn toward the teachings of Sikhism, particularly the spirit of seva (selfless service). Eventually, he embraced Sikh ideals and came to be known as Bhagat Puran Singh.

His turning point came in the 1930s when he began caring for a disabled and mentally challenged child, Piara Singh, whom he found abandoned outside Gurdwara Dera Sahib in Lahore. This act of love became the foundation of his lifelong mission.


The Birth of Pingalwara

With no building, no funds, and no support—Bhagat Ji began caring for the destitute, the sick, the abandoned, and the disabled. He would carry them on a cart, feed them with whatever he could collect, and offer dignity to those society had discarded. People laughed at him, called him mad—but he kept moving, unfazed.

In 1947, after Partition, he resettled in Amritsar and continued his mission under the name Pingalwara, meaning “the home of the crippled.” What began as a single man's effort grew into a massive movement of care, shelter, and healing.

Today, All India Pingalwara Charitable Society, headquartered in Amritsar, runs hospitals, homes for mentally challenged and disabled, environmental awareness programs, orphanages, free dispensaries, and educational initiatives—all echoing Bhagat Ji's vision.


Life of Simplicity and High Thinking

Bhagat Puran Singh Ji lived a life of absolute simplicity. He wore humble clothes, walked barefoot, and never owned anything for himself. He would collect rations, medicines, and discarded goods for his patients. He even picked up trash, recycled paper, and spoke about environmental protection decades before it became a global concern.

His personal diary was filled not with wealth, but thoughts of service, notes on ecology, spirituality, and care for the forgotten. He was known for his strong stance against moral degradation and consumerism, and he would often publish pamphlets and posters to awaken public consciousness.

Sangats' Feedback

"I get answers to most of my questions related to self, parmatma and the universe, by listening to you"
Param SatkaR Yog Bhai Sahib Ji, waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh. I am one of millions of listeners who listen to your live or recorded kirtan darbars. I feel that your vyakhya of gurbani takes us most near to the message that Guru Sahib Jis wanted to give to this mankind. And by listening to you i get answers to most of my questions related to self, parmatma and the universe. And above all you are spreading message of our Gurus against all the odds and propaganda being done against you. May waheguru ji give you more strength so that you can continue doing so. You explain many concepts that gurbani is teaching us. I want to listen from you about lots n lots written in gurbani about Anhad Naad and Dasam Dwar. Please throw light upon this in your satsang, not only in one but many divans as it is such a vast topic. I hope you will accept this request and enlighten the path of many seekers/ sikhs. This is needed the most as any katha vachak hardly speaks about this. I live in Amritsar and eager to meet you. May waheguru ji bless you with good health n long life.
