63rd Spiritual Coronation Day MSG Maha Rehmo Karam Divas ( MSG Great Grace Day) Satnam-The Sole Support Of the Universe
Having a spiritual blessing is a unique case of spiritualism. Only a spiritual power can achieve this title. Undoubtedly, they live among the common people and live like them, but the secret of that spiritual power is revealed only at appropriate time and revealing the secret is more important than that, because only a burning lamp can light another lamp. Similarly, a spiritual power can be manifested only by a spiritual power.
No common man can do this work. Only a perfect spiritual saint can recognize his own form and by revealing it in front of the world, he makes the whole world face to face with the ultimate truth. Similarly, on 28 February 1960, the first Spiritual Master of Dera Sacha Sauda, Revered Beparwah Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj revealed Revered Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj as His Spiritual Successor- the second Spiritual Master of Dera Sacha Sauda, to the world with that great spiritual power.
The same Satnam on whose support the universe stands and all the Vedas, Puranas and saints and great men have glorified the Supreme Power. On March 1954, Revered Beparwah Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj while initiating Revered Param Pita Ji into the God`s Words had stated:
”Thou are being blessed with the God`s Words while making Thee sit near the royal seat since a very special & specific task is to be entrusted to Thee. Thou will be designated as the Leader of the Living Master & the duty of bestowing the God`s Words to the masses will also be entrusted to Thee.”

Foot-print of God-Himself:
Once upon a time when the Revered Sai Ji went to the village Gadrana { a nearby village of Shri Jalalana Sahib} to conduct a spiritual congregation. The Revered Sai Ji went on a walk along with some volunteers. There the Revered Sai ji made a round circle from His holy stick addressing the accompanying volunteers, “ Come here, We will show you the foot-print of God-Himself.” One of the volunteers from village Gadrana
( who knew that this is the foot-print of the Revered Param Pita Ji) said, ‘ This is the footprint of Zaildar Harbans Singh Ji ( The childhood name of the Revered Param Pita Ji ) of Shri Jalalana Sahib.’ At this, the Revered Sai Ji, while striking the holy stick forcefully on the ground, replied, “ We don`t know any Zaildar. We only know that this is the footprint of God-Himself.”
Sacred Life:
Most Revered Supreme Father God- Himself Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj hailed from the holy village Shri Jalalana Sahib, district Sirsa, Haryana. His revered father`s name was Sardar Variam Singh Ji and the revered mother’s name was Aas Kaur Ji. His adorable father was the owner of huge land & property. His Holiness belonged to Sidhu dynasty. His Holiness was the only child of the adorable parents. His adorable parents were very pious & religious minded. They used to serve the saints & the sages very sincerely. They would keep engrossed in the worship of God. There was no shortage of any worldly things but the desire to have a child for the period of 18 years would torment the adorable parents all the time.
In those days, a carefree & learned fakir happened to visit the village Shri Jalalana Sahib. He was a true saint who used to motivate people to worship God. The adorable parents invited him to their home & welcomed him from the core of their heart. He stayed in the village for a couple of days & during this period, he took the meals at the house of the adorable parents. The adorable mother herself would serve him the food. One day on having pleased, he proclaimed, “ Dear Devotees! Your devotion to worship God & sense of hospitality are supreme. Your supreme feeling for service to humanity is accepted by God. Your desire of having a child will be fulfilled definitely by God Almighty. Your successor will definitely come to your home. He will be called the successor of the whole world. A Supreme Divine Soul will take birth at your home.”
By the extreme blessings of God & the best wishes of the fakir, after a long gap of 18 years, the much awaited wish of the adorable parents to have a child was finally fulfilled. Most Revered Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj incarnated on 25 January 1919. Adorable parents felt overwhelmed happiness. As soon as this holy message reached the villagers & relatives, there ran a wave of happiness. On the holy incarnation of the adorable Spiritual Master, the royal family was congratulated by one & all.
On hearing the holy news of the holy incarnation of the Revered Param Pita Ji, the fakir also reached in the village & extended his best wishes to the adorable parents. The fakir revealed the fact: ‘Dear Devotees! A Supreme Soul God-Himself has incarnated at your home. Treat Him with full affection. His Holiness ( The Revered Spiritual Master) will stay with you for forty years only and after that the task entrusted by God, the work of serving humanity & granting salvation to the souls for which His Holiness has incarnated, will go to the Perfect Spiritual Master who has sent His Holiness as your child.’
The adorable parents named His Holiness as Sardar Harbans Singh Ji. Later, with His blessing, most Revered Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj christened Sardar Harbans Singh Ji as Sardar Satnam Ji ( Revered Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj).
Meeting With Revered Shah Mastana Ji:
His Holiness had been striving for Ultimate Truth since childhood. His Holiness approached many sages & spiritual leaders, heard their sermons in order to recognize a Perfect Spiritual Guide. Whenever His Holiness met the sages and spiritual leaders, verified & tested them but the desired purpose of finding the way to Ultimate Truth was not fulfilled.
Once upon a time, His Holiness attended the spiritual congregation conducted by Revered Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj. From what His Holiness has heard about the Revered Sai Ji & Dera Sacha Sauda, after attending the spiritual congregation conducted by the Revered Sai ji & examining every truth, His Holiness devoted Himself solely to the Revered Sai Ji there & then.
Blessing With the God`s Words:
His Holiness kept attending the spiritual congregation for three years & tried many a time to get initiated into the God`s Words but every time the Revered Sai Ji would say that “ Thou has not yet been commanded to be blessed with the God`s Words. We will call out Thy name at the right time & bless Thee with the God`s Words, till then keep attending the spiritual congregation. The Negative Power won`t do anything untoward to Thee.”
Most Revered Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj conducted a spiritual congregation on March 14, 1954 at ‘Dera Sacha Sauda Anami Dham’ of village Ghunkawali. After the spiritual congregation, His Holiness was personally called by the Revered Sai Ji: “ It has been commanded to bless His Holiness with the God`s Words today; come inside & sit near Our seat, We are just coming there.” When His Holiness ( Thou) went inside, a lot of seekers of the God`s Words were sitting there & there was no place near the royal seat of the Revered Sai Ji. Therefore, His Holiness sat in the last of the seekers of the God`s Words.
The Revered Sai Ji came inside & called out the holy name of His Holiness & asked to sit near His royal seat. The Revered Sai Ji openly declared, “ Thou are being blessed with the God`s Words while making Thee sit near the royal seat since a very special & specific task is to be entrusted to His Holiness. His Holiness will be designated as the Leader of the Living Master & the duty of bestowing the God`s Words to the masses will also be entrusted to Thee.” On this pretext, the Revered Sai Ji declared His Holiness as His Spiritual Successor in a way, but no one understood this truth.
Strenuous Test:
The Revered Sai Ji started conducting test after test of His Holiness since the very first meeting. Following these spiritual tests, the Revered Sai Ji stayed at the Dera of Shri Jalalana Sahib for eighteen days. At the same time the Revered Sai Ji got the building of Gadrana Dera demolished & sometimes the building of Chormar Dera was also demolished. On one hand different buildings of different deras were being demolished, on the other hand it was ordered by the Revered Sai Ji that the building materials like wood, iron, doors, windows etc be collected at Shri Jalalana Sahib.
The Revered Sai Ji put the duty of His Holiness to carry the debris of the building of Gadrana Dera. While the debris of the demolished buildings of different deras was being carried, the Ghukanwali volunteers were asked to take away the already collected debris. His Holiness was still busy in transporting the debris of the demolished building of Gadrana Dera, the Revered Sai ji started the reconstruction work of the Gadrana Dera. An ordinary human being can`t understand this strange working of the Revered Spiritual Master.
In fact, this divine working was a part of the strenuous test being conducted by the Revered Sai Ji. His Holiness has already devoted & dedicated Himself to the holy service of the Revered Sai Ji. Therefore, His Holiness sincerely obeyed the holy words of the Revered Sai Ji. In this way, after conducting different arduous exercises & tests and finding His Holiness fully eligible, the Revered Sai Ji declared, “ We conducted tests of Sardar Satnam Singh Ji & didn`t let His Holiness( Sardar Satnam Singh Ji) know.”
Yet Another Arduous Test:
One day the Revered Sai Ji ordered to demolish the mansion-like personal house of His Holiness & bring the demolished & all other related items of the mansion to Dera Sacha Sauda Sirsa. Outwardly speaking, in worldly terms, it was a strenuous test but His Holiness didn`t care for the public prestige & obeyed every word of the Revered Sai Ji. Acting upon the holy order of the Revered Sai Ji, His Holiness demolished His mansion with His own hands, carried many truck loads of the building material & household items to Dera Sacha Sauda Sirsa & placed the same in the presence of the Revered Sai Ji.
It was the day of the monthly spiritual congregation. At Saturday midnight, the Revered Sai Ji came out. Looking at the huge pile of the goods, the Revered Sai Ji said, “Whose luggage is this? Take it out right now. If someone comes and asks, what will be the answer? Whosoever has the goods, take care of your belongings yourself.” It was cold winter & drizzle and cold waves were flowing from the above making the atmosphere extremely cold. His Holiness followed the holy orders of the Revered Sai Ji & spent the whole night in the open guarding His luggage. In the morning, His Holiness gave away all His belongings to the devotees & sat in the divine presence of the Revered Sai Ji.
Made Satnam- the Supreme Master:
Having pleased with the great sacrifice of the Revered Param Pita Ji, Revered Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj stated: ‘’Harbans Singh Ji ( Revered Param Pita Ji) We grant Thee ‘Truth’ in return for Thy sacrifice, transform Thee from an individual soul to Satnam-the Supreme Power.’’
Sacred House:
A three storey sacred house was got constructed specially for His Holiness. The Revered Sai Ji Himself made His Holiness sit in the sacred house with His own hands. The Revered Sai Ji stated: ”This sacred house is granted to Sardar Satnam Singh Ji as a reward for His great sacrifice.’’ This three-storey round cave was got prepared by the Revered Sai Ji under His guidance. The building materials like bricks, wood, iron etc. of the mansion of the Revered Param Pita Ji have been used in the construction of this sacred house. The Revered Sai Ji further stated: ‘’This sacred house has been constructed by the holy order of the Spiritual Guide only, which was given as a reward to Sardar Satnam Singh Ji. Everyone does not deserve to live here.’’
After that the narrative regarding Shri Krishna Ji’s dialogue with the Gopis from the scripture was read out in the congregation:- Shri Krishna Ji Maharaj while addressing the Gopis says that you have broken the unbreakable bonds like iron and have shown love of highest degree towards me. And in return the elixir of the name of Ram that I have given you is not so much as compared to your love , so I beg for forgiveness. Apologize me. At this. The Revered Beparwah Ji stated, ‘Like those Gopis, Sardar Satnam Singh Ji has also made great sacrifice in the name of His Spiritual Master, in return the elixir of the name of Ram that We have granted to His Holiness is very less. That’s why, We do apologize.’’
Steadfast & Persistent:
After enthroning His Holiness in the sacred house (Tera Vas), Revered Beparwah Sai Ji once again stated, ‘The earlier name of Sardar Satnam Singh Ji was Sardar Harbans Singh Ji. This divine power is the resident of village Shri Jalalana Sahib, district Sirsa. For the sake of the Spiritual Master, His Holiness demolished His own house and tolerated the defamation of the world. That is why His Holiness got this sacred house (Tera Vas) as a reward.
Not everyone deserves to live here. The one who is preordained by the Spiritual Master from above, only he gets a place here.’’ The Revered Beparwah Ji further stated: ‘’Just as the masons have put three shutters in this building (Tera Vas) for its strength, similarly We have put three shutters to Sardar Satnam Singh Ji (gesturing with His holy hand). Come rains, thunder storms, neither His Holiness will be able to move nor anyone will be able to move His Holiness.’’
The Holy Ritual of Spiritual Coronation:
On February 28, 1960, according to the holy order of Revered Beparwah Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj, the royal stage was specially decorated. After seating on the royal stage in the spiritual Majlis, the Revered Beparwah Ji, ordered to bring Revered Supreme Father Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj on the royal stage:
“Go brother, bring Sardar Satnam Singh Ji (The Revered Supreme Father) from the Tera Vas.’’ Hearing this, the two devotee-volunteers started walking towards the Tera Vas . The Revered Sai Ji stopped them stating, ‘’It was not like this brother, ten devotee-volunteers should go together and bring the Revered Shah Satnam Ji on the stage with full hospitality & honour.” When the Revered Supreme Father came from the Tera Vas, the Revered Sai Ji enthroned the Revered Supreme Father on the royal stage with Himself.
By putting a long necklace of new currency notes around the neck of the Revered Supreme Father, the Revered Sai Ji convinced the spiritual followers that now Our Successor is Sardar Satnam Singh Ji. The congregation ground was packed with the spiritual followers. The spiritual followers were saving this rare supernatural sight in their memory. The Revered Beparwah Ji was blessing the devotees with His holy words. While addressing the the spiritual followers, the Revered Sai Ji stated:
“Brother! From today onwards, We have granted Sardar Satnam Singh Ji Our own Form. This is the same Satnam whose holy name the people of the world kept reciting throughout their lives. By holy approval of the Revered Sawan Shah Sai Ji, We have brought Shah Satnam Ji from the abodes above & placed His Holiness before all of you.”
The Revered Sai Ji further stated,
”Some person from His ( Revered Supreme Father Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj’s) community and relatives come and ask, Poor Mastana has got Thy house demolished, what did Thou get? So brother, His Holiness can show them this round cave ( Sacred House). This round cave (Tera Vas) is made of bricks, but the real round cave (Spiritual wealth) blessed to His Holiness (gesturing between His two eyes) is of the highest degree; these three worlds are not equal to even a hair of the spiritual wealth granted to His Holiness. ”
In this way, the Revered Beparwah Ji Himself got the holy ceremony of Spiritual Coronation completed according to Guru-maryada ( Spiritual Code of Conduct). The Revered Sai Ji handed over all the rights and responsibilities of Dera Sacha Sauda and the spiritual followers to His Holiness from that very day itself and made His Holiness His Own Form, God Himself. This pious procedure of Spiritual Coronation is a unique example in front of the world.
It is worth mentioning that after that day Revered Beparwah Sai Mastana Ji Maharaj never went to this sacred house (Tera Vas) presented to His Holiness, but made a separate room in the spiritual abode His residence.A beautiful chair was placed in a beautifully decorated open roof jeep. After the chair was decorated, Revered Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj called Revered Supreme Father Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj, wore long necklaces of new currency notes from head to toe and enthroned on a chair decorated in the jeep. After that Revered Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj stated to the spiritual followers accompanying the royal procession:
“Sardar Satnam Singh (Revered Supreme Father Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj) is very brave. His Holiness has obeyed every order of the Poor Mastana. The more We praise, the less it is. His Holiness has made tremendous sacrifices for Us. We have made Him Our Successor & God-Himself. Go and proclaim in every street & every colony of this city that His Holiness ( Revered Shah Satnam Singh Ji ) has sacrificed a lot for the Poor Mastana and now, His Holiness is the Successor of Dera Sacha Sauda. Everybody should come to know that Sardar Harbans Singh (Jaildar of Shri Jalalana Sahib) has become Sardar Satnam Singh Ji (Revered Supreme Father Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj) from today and has become Absolute Spiritual Master.”
The Name of Ram Resounding Across the Globe:

His Holiness granted immense love to the lacs of the devotees of Dera Sacha Sauda for 30-31 years.
