Gurdwara Baba Bhumman Shah: The Glorious Legacy of Sikhism

Gurdwara Baba Bhumman Shah: The Glorious History of Sikhism in Punjab.

Gurdwara Baba Bhumman Shah is situated about 18 km from Dipalpur, 39 km from Okara, and about 8 km from Haveli Lakha.

"Sadasi" is a sect of Sikhism. This sect worships the Sikh Gurus as well as the five Hindu deities Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, Durga, and Surya. But the Sikhs do not consider them part of the Sikh religion.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Sikh Gurus expelled the Adasi Mahantas from their Gurdwaras.

History of Gurdwara Baba Bhumman Shah:

The Sikh Gurdwara Reforms Act of 1925 excluded Adasi, Nanak Panthi, and Santani Sikhs from the definition of "Sikh Khalsa" as Qadianis are non-Muslims in our constitution.

After this time they became closer to Hinduism rather than Sikhism.

"Adaasi" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Adas" which means "separate" meaning to be isolated and separated from the world.

"Babasri Chand", the son of the founder of Sikhism, "Babaguru Nanak", took the path of monasticism and detachment from the world, and this was the beginning of the Sikhism "Adasi" sect.

The Adasi sect began to influence Sikhism and by the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, this sect had a large number of Sikhs as its followers.

But then he was excommunicated from Sikhism in the early twentieth century for violating the fundamental beliefs of Sikhism.

After Baba Srichand, the founder of the Sadasi sect, the most famous was Mahant “Baba Bhaman Shah (Bhumia)” who was born in Bahlulpur at the beginning of the 18th century.

He studied Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islamic beliefs as a child and moved to Depalpur after boyhood.

During this time, Bhumia decided to become a monk and in this regard entered the service of Adasi Mahant Baba Pritam Das in Pakpattan.

After staying for some time, he became known as Baba Bhumman Shah.

During this time, he stayed at Hazrat Baba Farid, Golden Temple, and other Sikh holy places, and after that, he settled in a village called "Qutab Kot" in the suburbs of Depalpur, which was later named after him "Dera Bhuman Shah" which became famous.
