Jullundur

The devotees from Jullundur had made appropriate preparations for the Master’s children during the two-day sojourn, and had selected the Gita Center, a large hall adjacent to a Hindu temple, to serve as sleeping quarters. It was interesting to watch the devotees worshipping the statue-deities of Krishna, Vishnu and Shiva by ringing the big temple bell, carrying lights around the shrine, and singing devotional hymns. Master explained that most religions remind their followers symbolically of the Inner Principles of Light and Sound in one way or another.

All Satsangs in this city were given either in Hindi or Punjabi, but here and there the Master would make some comments in English. One of them was:

When I went to America recently I told the people over there on television that if they want peace, then they should rise above isms, and kings should rise above crowns and countries.

During one evening Satsang a Western devotee spoke some words in praise of the Master. He told an audience of more than 2 000 of the doubts he had had just prior to his initiation as to the True Successorship of Kirpal Singh Ji to the Great Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji. However, his doubts were resolved at once when one night Master Kirpal appeared to him in His astral form and stayed with him for several hours.

Initiation Day in Jullundur was the climax of Master’s stay there but there was not enough room for His foreign devotees to sit in.
