With deep reverence, we remember the supreme sacrifice of the revered 4 Sahibzade, Mata Gujri Ji, and countless beloved Gursikhs, whose martyrdom was not merely an act of faith but a steadfast stand against injustice, oppression, and forced conversions. These unparalleled sacrifices laid the foundation for a future rooted in courage, truth, strength, and knowledge.
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj placed the highest importance on value-based education. Master of Punjabi, Braj, Persian, and Sanskrit, Guru Sahib ensured that Sikhs were not only spiritually elevated but also intellectually empowered. With farsighted vision, Guru Maharaj sent Sikhs to Kashi (Banaras) to study Sanskrit and classical knowledge, nurturing scholars alongside saints and shaping enlightened minds grounded in righteousness.
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj also entrusted Bhai Deep Singh Ji with the divine command to transform Damdama Sahib into “Guru Ki Kashi”, a sacred centre of learning where education, spirituality and courage would flourish together. This historic directive marked the beginning of a new, enlightened system of education, deeply rooted in Gurmat.
Following the philosophy of Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s ideal of the Sant-Sipahi, revered Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji took the noble initiative in 1986 to establish Akal Academy Baru Sahib. This sacred vision gradually expanded into a network of 131 Akal Academies across Punjab and four other states. With nearly 100 schools situated in rural areas of Punjab, Akal Academies continue to strengthen rural education by integrating worldly education with spiritual wisdom, self-discipline, self-defence, and resilience.
Carrying forward the legacy of revered Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, Hon’ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji, Mukh Sevadar (President) of TThe Kalgidhar Trust continues the awareness campaign to rebuild Punjab by strengthening and empowering rural education. Seeking the blessings of the revered Sadh Sangat across North America, the campaign now reaches Virginia.
We warmly invite all to come together in this collective responsibility, to strengthen education, preserve values, and build a future aligned with the vision of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

After the fierce Battle of Chamkaur Sahib, where the Vadde Sahibzade, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Ji and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh Ji, along with forty Gursikhs attained Shaheedi, Shah-e-Shahanshah Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji proceeded alone through the dense forests and reached the jungles of Machhiwara Sahib.
At this moment, Guru Sahib was alone. Vadde Sahibzaade and 40 beloved Sikhs had attained Shaheedi, and Mata Gujri Ji, the Chotte Sahibzade, Mata Sundri Ji, Mata Sahib Kaur Ji and the beloved Sikhs were separated. Neither Guru Sahib’s self-established Anandpur Sahib, the fortress, the Khalsa Fauj, nor any form of worldly comfort remained.
Yet, Sahib-e-Kamal Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji was neither sorrowful nor distressed.
Instead, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Maharaj Ji remained immersed in gratitude and remembrance of Akal Purakh, acknowledging that everything received from Waheguru had been returned to Waheguru.
In this divine state of complete surrender to the Almighty, Guru Sahib recited the sacred Shabad, a heartfelt message addressed to the Divine Friend -
Mittar piaare nu haal muridaan da kahinaa ॥
Tudh bin rog rajaiyaan da odhan naag nivaasaan de rahinaa ॥
Sool suraahi khanjar piaalaa bing kasaaiyaan da sahinaa ॥
Yaarre da saanu sathhar changaa bhath kheriaan da rahinaa ॥ 1॥ 1॥
Meaning -
“O Beloved Friend (Waheguru), convey the condition of Your disciples.
Without You, even royal comforts feel like illness, and fine garments feel like nakedness.”
Guru Sahib expresses, true comfort, honour and peace exist only in the presence and remembrance of Waheguru. Worldly power, possessions family and comfort hold no value without divine connection.
Even in the forests of Machhiwara, separated from all worldly support, Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji stood spiritually victorious, reminding humanity that true wealth lies in remembrance of Waheguru.
Today, we reverently remember the Shaheedi of the elder sons of Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Ji (17 years) and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh Ji (13 years), whose lives remain a timeless testament to faith, courage and righteousness.
After months of siege at Anandpur Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, along with Mata Gujri Ji, the Sahibzade and the devoted Sikhs, chose to leave the sacred city following assurances of safe passage. These assurances were soon treacherously broken. As the Mughal forces attacked from behind and while crossing the Sarsa River, the Guru Sahib’s family became separated into three groups. Guru Gobind Singh Ji, accompanied by the two elder Sahibzade and forty devoted Sikhs, eventually reached Chamkaur Sahib.
Guru Sahib, along with the Sikhs, took control of the Kachi Garhi, a mud fortress built on a small hill. The fortress was soon completely surrounded by the Mughal forces, vastly outnumbering them. Despite the overwhelming odds, Guru Gobind Singh Ji steadfastly upheld the principles of Dharma and the fight against injustice.
It was strategically decided that, the next day, groups of five Sikhs would sally forth to confront the enemy. Each group fought with extraordinary valour, inflicting significant damage upon the Mughal forces.
Sahibzada Ajit Singh Ji, at the age of 17, humbly sought permission from Guru Sahib to join the battlefield. With unwavering faith and extraordinary courage, Babaji fought fearlessly, inflicting significant damage upon the Mughal forces and attained Shaheedi, leaving behind an enduring legacy of valour.
Following Baba Ajit Singh Ji, Baba Jujhar Singh Ji, only 13 years old, also requested permission to enter the battle. Guided by the ideals of the Khalsa, Babaji displayed extraordinary courage, striking down large numbers of enemies, and embraced Shaheedi, exemplifying supreme devotion to Dharam and righteousness.
Throughout the battle, Guru Gobind Singh Ji continued to shower arrows upon the enemy forces and after every Shaheedi, the Guru Sahib Ji inspired the Sikhs with Jaikara, proclaiming the victory of the Khalsa and affirming that spiritual triumph transcends physical loss.
The Shaheedi of Sahibzada Ajit Singh Ji and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh Ji remains a timeless lesson for humanity, demonstrating that true strength lies in faith, moral courage and unwavering devotion to truth.
Where Values Grow into Lives of Purpose
As Hon’ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji continues the USA and Canada Awareness Campaign, seeking the blessings of the revered Sadh Sangat across North America, the journey reached Canada with a spirit of seva, guidance, and value-based living.
This Sangat Darshan became especially heartfelt with the gracious hosting by Baljeet Kaur Ji, a distinguished alumna from the 2009 batch of Akal Academy Baru Sahib who spent 7 formative years at the Academy from Grades 6 to 12. She later completed her B.Tech from Eternal University, Baru Sahib, continuing her educational journey within the same value-driven ecosystem.
Carrying forward this legacy, the 2nd generation of her family is also studying and being nurtured at Akal Academy Baru Sahib, a reflection of deep-rooted faith in value-based education.
The gathering became even more meaningful as family members from different places came together to seek blessings from Hon’ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji. The occasion was graced with Ardas, and the warmth of the moment was further reflected when Hon'ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji spent time with the infants of the family, Ishroop Kaur & Ishveer Singh, filling the atmosphere with joy and affection.
This was followed by a deep and meaningful discussion on pressing societal concerns such as drug abuse, religious conversion, gaps in rural education and low levels of women’s empowerment. The interaction helped create awareness and brought the Sangat together with a shared purpose to rebuild Punjab across different sections of society.
Through initiatives such as value-based rural education, drug de-addiction and rehabilitation efforts, support for underprivileged Sikhs, and programs like AIRWE (Akal Institute of Rural Women Empowerment), The Kalgidhar Trust and Akal Academy continue to offer holistic, Gurmat-guided solutions.
We warmly invite the Sadh Sangat and alumni to come together and become an essential part of this collective movement to rebuild Punjab through education, values, and seva.
