ਸ਼ੇਰਪੁਰਾ ਚੌਂਕ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ੇਰਪੁਰਾ ਰੋਡ - ਜਗਰਾਉਂ ------------------------------------------ ਬਾਬਾ ਨੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਜਨਮ ਅਸਥਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਰਾਹ - Baba Nand Singh Ji was born on the 13th of Katak 1872 AD in the Village of Sherpura [1] Tehsil Jagroan, District Ludhiana, Punjab, India. His father was Sardar Jai Singh and his mother was Sardarni Sada Kaur. He is regarded one of Sikhisms highest saints. Baba Nand Ji was a saint who is said to have meditated upon the gods name at every breath and from a very young age he would go out in the middle of the night and meditate upon Waheguru. His Gurudwara[edit] Later Baba Nand Singh ji would establish his Gurudwara[2] near Kalera in Punjab. He led a simple life and continued with his principles of deep meditation. The food for the dera would come from different devotees though no cooking was done at the dera itself. This practice is still continued by the dera now popularly known as Nanaksar, named after Guru Nanak. The food cooked at the Gurudwaras langar is not prepared at Nanaksar, but is cooked in the nearby villages and no matter how big the congregation, never ever has there been a shortage. No monetary offerings are ever made in front of the Gurudwaras Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, as is the usual practice at other Gurdwaras, however a shortage of funds has occurred there. Baba Nand Ji never used any money on himself, always serving the community with true love and affection. It is said that once Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala came to offer 100,000 rupees for the Gurdwara fund but Baba Nand Ji politely refused the offer. This was the first time someone had ever declined the offer of accepting money for a religious place from a Maharaja and of course the Maharaja felt bad and told Baba Nand Ji, You will not find a donor like Bhupinder Singh. To this Baba Nand Ji replied, You will not find another person who is prepared to sacrifice everything and yet be fully committed like Baba Nand Singh. This made the Maharaja humble and respectful and he bowed his head before him. Baba Nand Ji died in 1943 (13 Bhadron Sanmat 2000) at the age of 73. Today his Gurudwara is generally considered an antidote to the SGPC and has grown into various Gurudwaras and deras in both India and abroad.[3] Baba Nand Singh Ji ਬਾਬਾ ਨੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ Religion Sikhism(Humanity) Personal Born 1872 Sherpur Kalan Jagron, Ludhiana, Punjab, India Died 1943
