The family in which His Highness Param Pita Shah Satnam ji took birth was an elite class family and he being a Sole kid of the family he was loved by all. Basically the family was the landlords of the village and was well respected one.The parents were a pious soul and belonged to Sidhu cast of Jaat Sikh community. Although they were into practice of respecting all other religions too.

LOST HIS FATHER AT 5

Shah Satnam Singh Ji was only 5 or 6 years old when he lost his father, thereafter his upbringing was the biggest challenge for the mother. So, she took the courage and with help of her brother raised her son with high moral ethics of religion, well enough studies of those times and inherited all the best qualities to make her only son a good human being. One more thing to add on here Shah Satnam Ji was born after the wait of 18 long years and millions of prayers by parents and well-wishers of the family.

HIS DEVOTIONAL JOURNEY

Since childhood Shah Satnam Ji was carrying a heart full of mercy and devotion to God. The urge to find God’s true love was so high and burning that, Shah Satnam ji used to meet and greet many Saints and all other devotees of God. But that desire to feel the real truth of God was not satisfied. The quest kept on growing he wanted to achieve top most form of Moksha and eternal love of Almighty. As written in destiny by Almighty and timing, finally Shah Satnam Ji met the Spiritual True Master – Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj at Dera Sacha Sauda Sirsa. Right after meeting Shah Mastana Ji, Shah Satnam Ji got sure that his quest and thirst of attaining Almighty’s love is going to end but it was not all that easy for him. His Master kept him attending his holy discourses but did not initiated Shah Satnam Ji with method of mediation (naamdaan).But at the same time Baba Mastana Ji assured him -do not worry we will call you when the right comes till then keep on serving our devotees and no harm to your body or soul will be done by death or any negative powers till the time we initiate you.

BLESSING WITH THE METHOD OF MEDITATION

And finally after the wait of 3 years that day came in 14th March 1953.There was a Satsang in Ghukeywali village of Sirsa. After finishing Satsang Mastana Ji called Shah Satnam Singh ji Maharaj and said come and sit nearby my chair. Tonight, it is an order by Almighty to bless you with holy words,and to make you worthy to carry on a very special responsibility. You will be the leader of Zindaram/Ruhaniyat( Spirituality). On that particular day Shah Mastana ji was very happy so does Shah Satnam ji, as they both got what they were waiting for times to make it bigger for times to come.

HIS SPIRITUAL TEST

Thereafter, Shah Mastana ji took many tests on various parameters in spiritual terms of Shah Satnam ji. One of them is – asked him to bring all household stuff to Dera and then throw it out. Once thrown out entire stuff Mastana Ji checked his dedication by further saying to Shah Satnam ji why you kept all that household stuff outside of Ashram. Go outside and safeguard it yourself, else distribute it to the needy. As per the given instructions, Shah Satnam Singh ji responded and distributed the entire stuff without any second thought. Many tests undertook for 7 years period and then came the holy day of 28th February 1960.
