waddi to waddi bimari theek ho jawegi baba harnam singh ji

waddi to waddi bimari theek ho jawegi baba harnam singh ji Baba Harnam Singh was born in 1897 in Dhasua Nagar in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India.His father was Bhai Usher Singh and his mother's name was Narain Kaur. Usher Singh was a farmer (Kethi Barri) and both mother and father were very religious. Baba Ji had four brothers and two sisters. Both mother and father remained very responsible in their family duties. He earned an honest living while Baba Ji's mother looked after the children. Narain Kaur would wake up very early, have her bath then go to the Gurdwara. On returning she used to remain absorbed in Mool-Mantr Jaap while carrying out her work.Usher Singh would also go to the Gurdwara every morning before going to the fields. Baba Harnam Singh said in his own words that mother used to tell us to remain conscious of our feet while walking. This was in case we stepped on any insects. She taught us to respect animals and not break their eggs.And not to steal or to fight or argue with anyone. Before sleeping, our father would get all the children together and tell us a Sakhi (religious story or event in Sikh history) without fail. In this way, both mother and father helped to form high morals which were acknowledged as of great benefit. From a young age Baba Ji would say "I will become a Sant and I will live by Dhan Guru Nanak Sahib's path".His father encouraged him to continuously repeat Mool Mantr. He would rarely play as most children of his age would. In those days, a firm education was very rare. Schools were in distant towns, not in villages. Therefore he had no formal education. It was common for the Granthi from the Gurdwara to to teach the children. It was his wish to learn Gurmukhi and read Gurbani, so he did, from the Gursikh Granthi. He learned enough to be fluent at reading Gurbani and other religious books.
