Beeba Nihal Kaur Ji
Beeba Nihal Kaur Ji took birth in the village of Sewewala in 1922. Her mother
(Mata Nand Kaur Ji) and father (Baba Jeon Singh Ji) possessed great saintly
qualities. Beeba Nihal Kaur Ji’s nature from birth was rare – she remained in
utmost spiritual bliss, which was regularly witnessed by village folk when she
entered Samadhi (a state of nirvana).
When Beeba Ji was two years old, she was taken by her Mother for the darshan
(blessed vision) of the great saint of the century, Sant Attar Singh Ji of Mastuana
Sahib, during his historic visit to Jaito (at the protest of
Gangsar Jaito Morcha in 1924). When Beeba Ji was in
the holy presence of Sant Ji, Sant Attar Singh Ji asked
what the child’s name was. Mata Nand Kaur Ji replied
informally, “Nihal” (blessed). Foreseeing Beeba Ji’s
spiritual greatness, Sant Attar Singh Ji declared to the
gathered sangat,
“100 years from now, the whole
world will be saying,
“NIHAL, NIHAL, NIHAL!”
As she grew older, it was evident that Beeba Ji had a special and deep love for Mata
Sahib Kaur Ji (the Mother of the Khalsa). From a young age, Beeba Ji became
devoted to Mata Ji and started to demonstrate special respect towards Mata Ji.
