Quotes by Master Ishwar Ji

Purpose of the Dera and the Meeting Hall

” My master, the Great Master, Hazur Maharaj Baba Sawan Singh, built up the dera, the ashram, the spiritual center on the river Beas in India and named it Dera Baba Jaimal Singh after his master, as a tribute to his master. It’s become a very big place now with millions of people going there every year, and a great spiritual center. I spent so many years going there. But when I find the Great Master saying the axis of spirituality is shifting here, some months back I went back to the spot and looked at it. I said, “What better tribute can I pay to my master but to do the work that he did for his master?” And to set up, on that very spot, where the crazy man was waiving his hands, Dera Baba Sawan Singh, named after my master.”
“I now, on this Bhandara day, declare that on Route 40 in Bruce, Wisconsin, will be established on the land already acquired by the Institute for the Study of Human Awareness, the Dera Baba Sawan Singh as my humble tribute to my Great Master who has given me everything that I share with you. And much beyond.”
“I think this will be a great place for people to assemble, have satsang, and maybe many Perfect Living Masters will come here, in due course.”

Purpose of the Dera and the Meeting Hall

” The Great Master paid a tribute to his master for the sake of other followers of the spiritual path by building a small dera or a place where they could hold meetings and where they could hold satsangs, initiations, things like that. That he named Dera Baba Jaimal Singh. He named it after his master. I had said I would love to do that to, just out of respect and tribute to my own master so I announced at the last Bhandara in April that I would like to have a Dera Baba Sawan Singh. Since he says the axis of spirituality is shifting to America, I thought it appropriate to set it up in America, the United States of America.”

” So, we chose a place in Wisconsin—Bruce, Wisconsin. I wanted to find out how he chose the place. After all, he must have chosen the place. I found his master had chosen the place by very unique method. The method was that some followers of his were visiting that river, river Beas in India, and walking along the river and they saw a madman putting his hands up and saying, “This is it.” He was crazy. “This is the place. This is the place.” The master says, “This is the place.” I started to look for a crazy guy. I found one. We decided to walk along the river in Wisconsin because we heard there were lot of retreat centers going on there. There were lot of lakes and rivers, so we found one river. The original American Indians called it Ojibwa River, and the French who came along that Mississippi river later named it Chippewa River. So, the Ojibwa River, or Chippewa River there, we’re walking along, and we found some spot which was looking nice. This crazy man began to wave his hands. I said, “This is it.” That’s where we’re going to have Dera Baba Sawan Singh and we are going to construct. “
