Baba Wadbhag Singh Ji was born to Mata Raj Kaur on 13-8-1716 at Kartarpur. Parents named him as Wadbhag Singh on his birth. People were suffering the cruelty of the kings. There was a hope for betterment. There were showers of Spiritual Rain (Amrit) from the Sky. The whole of the Universe was happy. Baba Wadbhag Singh Ji showed his greatness and holiness right from his childhood. Baba Ji was having the blessings of all the Gurus. Every one was equal for him. Baba Ji had a parrot that use to pray Satnam Wahe Guru twice daily. Baba Ji did not believe in false manipulated and fabricated stories. He had committed himself to serve the needy.
Baba Ji ordered, Sikhs to burn Nasardin alive as he had burned Sri Thumb Sahib. Baba Ji also asked them to increase the grace/prestige of the holy places. Baba Ji became very popular with this.
Baba Wadbhag Singh use to pray God daily. He thought every thing useless without almighty. He devotes himself to the welfare of the humanity. Baba Ji was sick of this world and thought to live forest. Bibi Bhani Ji wanted to accompany Baba Ji but Baba Ji asked her that she would be called at the appropriate time. Baba Ji took his seat, flag a cage with parrot and a violene. He exchanged greetings with the relatives and reached Darshani Khud via Hoshiarpur and Gagret. He took his bath at Darshani Khud and spread his seat at Mairi under the holy Beri and started the meditation and was lost in his memories. One can still visit this Beri Sahib at Dera Guru Wadbhag Singh Sodhi Ji.
While Baba Ji was lost in his prayers under the Beri Sahib, a shepherd happened to pass that way. He said to Baba Ji, there is a giant under this Beri. He gabbles up all the creatures so you should run away from this place. The giant is very merciless. Baba Ji said to shepherd that giant cannot harm the person who worships God. He does not need to fear. On knowing, Bir Nahar Singh got angry and attacked Baba Ji. Bir Nahar Singh started demonstrating his ugly deeds to frighten Baba Ji but all his tricks became useless before the faith of Baba Ji in God. Bir Nahar Singh said to Baba Ji, “This is my living place. I am living here since long. People are afraid of me. I am the mightiest of all the giant and my kingdom is spread over a radius of 12 miles. I have spared you being an elderly person. Please leave this place”. Baba Ji said to Bir Nahar Singh, you can please yourself. I have come here for meditation (Tapasaya). It is better for you to leave this place and settle elsewhere. This site is now mine.
On hearing these words from Baba Ji, Bir Nahar Singh got angry. He called his army and attacked Baba Ji. Baba Ji took some holy water from his violene, spread it on his army and entire army was made emotional and powerless. Baba Ji captured Bir Nahar Singh and hip army ran away. Bir Nahar Singh was imprisoned in a cage. He began to beg pardon from Baba Ji and explored that he was tired so he may be forgiven. He further promised to act according to the wishes of Baba Ji and would not do any bad or evil deed in future.
