Sri Bhaini Sahib is a village located in the Ludhiana East tehsil, of Ludhiana district, Punjab,[1] India, holds profound spiritual, political, and historical significance. Situated approximately 25 kilometres from the bustling city of Ludhiana, this village is revered as a sacred site for Namdhari Sikhs.
It was here that Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji ignited the flame of the Indian Independence Movement in April 1857, amidst British occupation, marking a pivotal moment in India's struggle for freedom. With roots extending back to the Treta Yug and connections to Lord Rama, Sri Bhaini Sahib is steeped in centuries of spiritual heritage.
The birthplace of revered Satguru's such as Sri Satguru Partap Singh Ji and Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji, Sri Bhaini Sahib has evolved under the guidance of Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji and the present guidance of Sri Satguru Uday Singh Ji into a modern sanctuary for all humanity.
The village seamlessly accommodates the needs of its residents, fluctuating from a modest population to tens of thousands during significant religious gatherings like the Annual Jap Paryogs and festivals such as Hola Mohalla and Sangeet Samelans.
Within its confines lie sacred shrines, each intricately woven into the tapestry of Namdhari Sikh history, from the 19th century to the present day. Notably, it encompasses three distinct sections: Gurdwara Sri Bhaini Sahib, the Ram Mandir Complex and the Akal Bunga.
Nearby, in the village of Rahian, lies the birthplace of Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji. These sites, integral to Sri Bhaini Sahib's narrative, enrich its historical tapestry.
The village's ethos of service transcends boundaries, exemplified by its continuous langar, extending hospitality to all, regardless of age, gender, belief, or social status. Additionally, Sri Bhaini Sahib boasts numerous sports facilities, including football pitches, hockey grounds, badminton and tennis courts, and even hosts IPL soccer matches, fostering community engagement and physical well-being.
Sri Bhaini Sahib also hosts an Academy for primary and secondary learning, a modern marvel of education spread over several acres. The campus boasts naturally lit classrooms, spacious courtyards, and advanced facilities such as computer labs and science laboratories, enriching the educational landscape of the community.
Sri Bhaini Sahib stands as a beacon of spiritual enlightenment, historical richness, educational advancement, and communal harmony, inviting all to experience its divine embrace.
