This foundation started with that hut that Baba Jaimal Singh Ji built here. But to begin with, the seed is very small. But, when the banyan tree grows, so many birds, so many animals, so many people, sit under the shade of the tree. “You see, the seed of a banyan tree is very small. “People know that on these days I will definitly be here.” So that is how the tradition started, and it continued after He retired from the government service, and it is being continued even today. The sangat knew He would be there so they would gather from all the villages and cities to hear His discourses.
In between, He might come if He got leave, but, on those particular days, He saw to it that He would be there. The particular days when He would be in Dera were always the last Sunday of the month. Being still in service, He selected certain days and told satsangis and devotees, “I will be here in Dera on these days for the satsang so people may come to hear satsang.” The rest of the time He was doing his job. They started from the Great Master’s time because he used to be in service for probably 11 years after becoming the Master. Call them Bhandaras, call them monthly satsangs, it is the same thing. Here every day is a Bhandara, nobody is charged for meals.
