Almost every day this week I've been listening to Bhai Jasbir Singh jee's keertan CD. It has two Shabads: "Hau Vaar Vaar Jaao Gur Gopaal" and "Satgur Parmeshar Mera" and "Anand Sahib" ...

Just amazing.. I can't express.. there is so much love in their keertan.. And that love is totally contagious.. the sangat begins to sing also with so much love.. It shows the sign of a person who really sings keertan from their soul and practices the Guru's teachings.

He is certainly one of the truest Gursikhs

But it made me very happy kii inne vade mahapurush ne mainuu aaap bulaaya

Bhai sahib used to say that let your children know about Sikhi so that they can say 'we are proud to be Sikh'. If you want to teach children their language and culture, traditional wisdom says, "Catch ‘em young".

 PERSONS LIKE BHAI SAHIB WERE PRICE LESS FOR US
SO PLS 'SATKAR' THESE PERSONALITIES WHO DEVOTE THERE WHOLE LIFE FOR "MAANAS JAAT".

Whenever I now hear Veerji sing “Waheguru waheguru” which he used to do before commencing any kirtan program, I get the feeling that Veerji has not gone anywhere but is still with us.   I am  a resident of Rajori Garden in Delhi. Every year, Veerji used to have a three day Gurmat samagam at Rajori. The entire Rajori sangat would wait eagerly and impatiently for these three days. ..              Par hun eh intezaar, intezaar hi banke reh jayega... It is our prayer before Guru Maharaj  to keep on sending such souls. May our prayers and ardas be answered by Guru Maharaj.

I got something to tell :  Bhai Sahib passed away Saturday morning right..? And this is the weirdest thing : On Friday night when me and my brother were coming back from a keertan program I linked my iPod to the car and played the Amritsar April 1987 - Bhai Jasbir Singh Jee tracks. It was a long time my brother had heard Bhai Sahib. He asked me whether Bhai Sahib had passed away - because the track was very old and it was old skool keertan. I  told him no he is alive today and he had just just gone to Toronto for the July 2006 Samaagam.   I told my brother that  he still did keertan. Then Saturday morning came. I'm like what ??

BHAI SAHIB JASBIR SINGH A GREAT LOSS TO THE SIKH NATION

Freedom Fighter at akj.org

Back in 2004, when I had just came into sikhi at that time and it was one of my first raensabayees. It was in Toronto. I sat through from beginning to end. Just when I thought I'd go home, (at about 5 am) Bhai Sahib went on and did kirtan. For quite over an hour. I didn't want to budge even to miss 5 min of it. It was such an amazing and uplifting kirtan by Bhai Saahib ji.

Whenever Khalsa Panth was in need, DHAN SREE GURU GRANTH SAAHEB JEE produced Gursikhs of such calibre, who, having got guidance and enlightenment from DHAN SREE GURU GRANTH SAAHEB JEE would realise the need of the hour and their Duty and responsibility and act accordingly. These included Sant Attar Singh Mastuaaney Waaley, Bhai Randhir Singh, Baba Sundar Singh Khalsa Jatha Bhindraa, Baba Gurbachan Singh, Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa, Bhai Veer Singh, Baooji Jaswant Singh Khoji, Bhai Joginder Singh Talwara, and lately Bhai Jasbeer Singh Khalsa and many others had realised their duty in time and did their part of the Nishkaam Sewaa, effect of which is being felt and shall be felt until decades later. Meanwhile DHAN SREE GURU GRANTH SAAHEB JEE shall continue to Churn up and awaken Good Souls and turn them into Gurmukh Souls.

So no need to sadden our inner heart and being and Let's all thank Waheguru jee that HE Blessed us with DHAN SREE GURU GRANTH SAAHEB JEE so that we will continue to have more and more such great sewaadaars as long as world shall ever exist.

Bhai Sahib ji will be greatly missed, we had the pleasure of sitting with him during his recent visits, he came to our house and shared his veechar with us. He started off in AKJ in his earliar years, with conversations with him he had the utmost respect for the jatha, he stressed how he was blessed to have met and done sangat of gursikhs like Bhai Jeevan Singh ji, Talwara ji, and Pooran ji.

Bhai Sahiab ji was definitely in another category of gursikhs. His soul was definitely blessed, and he touched many other, and converted many others. Bhai Sahib ji will definitely be missed

Bhai Sahib was an exemplary Gursikh striding across the contemporary Sikh Society for nearly decade. He was a dedicated Sikh Missionary of great knowledge, zeal and repute who was renowned worldwide. A fearless preacher, very outspoken and having a rational outlook, he preached according to the concepts of Gurmat and Gurbani. He was one of the few towering personalities to whom the Sikh Sangat looked up to.

He was successful in disseminating Sikhi in America, Europe, and South East Asia. He also established a meditation center at Mohali, Chandigarh where a Samagam is held every year based upon Amrit Wela. Bhai Sahib was very strict about Amrit Wela and Naam Kamee.

His demise has created a vacuum, which would be very difficult to fill. The Sikh Community needed him at this crucial juncture when western influences are making inroads into the Sikh Culture. The loss of Bhai Jasbir Singh jee is indeed, a great loss to the worldwide Sikh Community.

I can never forget him : his one kirtan converted me from an atheist to whatever pyaar I have for Guruji today

It's not often you see great gurmukhs like this. Most pyiaar I  have ever seen

Waheguru Fateh

I have an old tape in my car of the Simla samagams where Bhai Sahib breaks into simran for about half and hour with the sangat. It’s sounds so powerful with thousands of voices of the sangat. Bhai Shaib’s simple keertan and katha was just so inspirational, you could hear the passion in his natural voice.

In this day and age it’s all about tunes, jathabhandis and young babas. Bhai Sahib Jasbir Singh Khalsa was part of that “old skool” crew who were simple, passionate and kept it real.

Kharkoo Singh

When such an amazing GurSikh who has done so much for the Khalsa panth leaves for his righteous home and merges with the True Guru, we have to be happy for them. Sad for us, yes, for we have lost such an amazing figure. But i remember meeting him a month ago only, and he was looking very frail and it did prepare me for some news i guessed i would hear of him soon. And i got the call this afternoon and was very very saddened to hear it. But "shukrana" hai uss Malak da, jis ne sanu aise GurSikh parchaarik peje san iss duniya te... we are very greatful for to Maharaj for blessing us with such amazing parchaaraks in the first place..

Nama Singh

Its a bolt from the blue to the whole Sikh Community whose beloved Veerji has left for Sachkhand. He has given the whole world the picture of a True Khalsa. His Updesh, His Bachan can never die. His Jeevan can never die. He has given us a treasure, a treasure that can never be destroyed. Let's follow His Bachan and shape our lives accordingly. That will be our true Shradanjali to the great Gurmukh, Brahmgyani, and beloved Veerji. He's a Panth Ratan. "Brahmgyani Sad Jeeve Nahi Marta II"

How many gursikhs do you hear that had the vadday bhaag to pass away while in the Gurdwara Sahib, after doing keertan? Bhai Sahib passed away in Gurdwara Sahib Akal Ashram and now his soul has gone to Sackhand Akal Ashram ... waheguru..

Sikhyouth

Daas attended Bhai Sahib's deevans a few times when he came here. in my humble opinion, attending bhai sahib's deevans was one of the best times of my entire life. the atmosphere and vibrations in the deevan and the sharda and prem in Bhai Sahib's keertan was overwhelming. Bhai sahib did simran at Gurdwara Singh Sabha on my birthday. i prayed before guru sahib that i have wasted so many years please set me on the right path. guru sahib is amazing. that simran program was unbelievable. i never met Bhai Sahib, i only felt the warmth and glow of his presence. he was blessed by the true Guru, Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth sahib ji maharaj.

Wherever Bhai sahib went, he always asked the sangat to follow the basic principles of Shabad Guru. He set up local cells at different stations to recite Kirtan where Sangat could gather to recite Gurbani for spiritual enlightenment of mankind. He  also opened various platforms for the service of humanity and always inspired people to help the needy people irrespective of caste and creed. He recited Kirtan and Kathas in the praise of God Almighty strictly on the lines of Gurbani.

Bhai Sahib was a Nishkam Sevak of the Khalsa Panth. He had also been awarded for nishkam kirtan in 1996 by the Akal Takht. Today you will meet so many Kirtaniye, parcharaks, but u will rarely got Kirtaniz or Parcharaks who realy want to do seva of khalsa panth, to who you can say yeah hez a Niskam Parcharak .. According To Panth Ratan Giyani Sant Singh Ji Maskeen , Bhai Jasbir Singh Ji was braham giyani. Khalsa Ji was also avery great Sevadar of Sikh kaum . very Big Eye Insitute was runin under Akal Ashram . This hospital is made to serve poor  people of every cast and religion . It is a big loss to Khalsa Panth. This year (2006)  when Khalsa ji did katha at Rakabganj Sahib Delhi .. Lakhi Shah Vanjara Hall was full of Sangat . As bhai sahib came out of pandal after katha a hazuum of sangat went out with him. We were planning to call Bhai Sahib To Our Annual Guru Maneo Granth Smagam .. But i think Guru Ji Was planning some other things for us. Ki sanu Khalsa ji vichoda de gaye ..

Proud Khalsa

There are no words to describe how I am feeling at the moment. Bhai Sahib Ji has left us manmukhs, and he will be with his Guru and master forever. I'm feeling so sad, I just want to cry. I had obviously never spoken to Bhai Jasbir Singh Ji, I had in fact only ever heard his kirtan live at the Gurdwara a couple of times. It's just that Bhai Sahib was, and still is so amazingly chardikala, you could just see his love for Guroo Sahib in his face, you could feel it in his kirtan. I still vividly remember the last time I went to one of his programmes. It must have been atleast 2 or 3 years ago, It was a hot day, and at my local Gurdwara there was a 24hr akhand jaap going on. We found out khanne vale were at the other local Gurdwara, about 15 mins away. We got in the car and went there to listen to Bhai Sahib Ji. It was lovely, while the programme was ending, we found out Bhai Sahib would be coming to the akhand jaap for a little while, before having to leave(he had a plane to catch I think). You should have seen it, all the sangat rushed into their cars and started driving to the other Gurdwara where the akhand jaap was taking place. Somehow we find our car right behind Bhai Sahibs, all the way to the Gurdvara Sahib, I could see all the Singhs and they all were looking fantastic. We got to the akhaand jaap Gurdwara and Bhai Sahib did some great simran.

I will never forget Bhai Sahib, I don't think anyone in the Sikh panth will.

I have never seen any one doing Kirtan with such a love like him.

Just one month before his demise, I visited his residence at Akal Asram Sohana where I found him unhealthy and taking rest. He blessed me by placing his hand on my head. Earlier I met him personally 4-5 times at Akal Ashram. He told me to meditate on the meaning of first 5-pauris of Japji Sahib everyday for 30 minutes. He told this would develop love for Gurbani.

Sarabjeet Singh

Bhai Jasbir Singh Ji was not just a kirtinea. He was a a Sant Kirtinea. He was a true Saint in simple attire. Everyone around Veerji had the feeling of oneness and closeness with him. I felt the same way. I felt  that  no one was as close to Veerji as I was.

Bhai Davinder Singh Sodhi, Ludhiana

Bhai Jasbir Singh's smile was divine. He had such a innocent and beautiful smile (muskaan). When you saw him smile you felt that you were receiving a blessing thorough that smile.
