Pujya Param Sant Bahadur Chand (Vakil Sahib Ji), son of Sh. Mani Ram Bishnoi (Sihag),
and mother Smt. Manohari Devi Ji, is a resident of the village of CHAUTALA, District Sirsa, State
Haryana. Country, India. He was born on 10 December 1944 in village Chautala. At the age of 8
years he was admitted in a school of his village, where his teacher while looking at him
commented, “This boy is a great soul”. In school, most of the time He remained aloof from other
students and always concentrated on dhyan. Once He fell sick, and someone told him to repeat
RAM RAM., He did so, and got well. After that He started thinking about what is RAM, how does
it live within ourselves, how it affect our body, how do we get knowledge, how to get RAM etc.
etc. His parents put him in farming. This didn’t suit him. He always thought about RAM and tried
to find him in human being form. There was a Hanuman Temple in his neighborhood where He
used to visit several times a day. He also bought HANUMAN CHALISA (a holy book of Hindus,
Praising Lord Hanuman, the Hindu God). After passing school He joined Dayanand College in
Hissar (Haryana). Where He stayed in Lajpat Rai Hostel and become the President of Arya
Samaj Pracharni Sabha. He used to perform Hawan (a kind of holy worship) every week. He also
read Satyarth
Prakash, and Sukh-Sagar. But these books didn’t satisfy him. He was in search of
that thing which could bring a current flowing inside his body to outside. He felt need of a Guru.

       Then he graduated from Law College at Chandigarh. Once Sardar Bachchan Singh,
Village Chautala (brother of Mahatma Gurdas, a follower of Shah Mastana Balochistani), came
to his house and gave him a holy book, Gurmat Sidhaant. Vakil Bahadur Chand Ji liked that
book. After going through Gurmat Sidhant He started meeting Sardar Bachan Singh Ji at his
house where they used to discuss great saints like Mastana Shah Balochistani of Sacha Sauda
and his disciple Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji (Respected Gurbachan Singh ji) They also
discussed Dera Jagmalwali, where Manager Sahib was living. After reading Gurmat Siddhant,
He (Bahadur Chand Ji) realized that it was impossible to find the real path to reach God without
a Guru. After finishing Law in the year 1968 he started practicing in a court at Mandi Dabwali of
district Sirsa (Haryana).

       One day, he went to Dera Jagmalwali with Sardar Bachchan Singh and listened to Param
Sant Manager Sahib Ji’s Satsang explaining shabad Iss Goofa Mein Akhut Bhandara. Manager
Sahib Ji explained that everything is within us and so is God. We can find him by chanting Guru’
s Naam, Simran and Satsang. After the satsang he got a chance to meet Param Sant Manager
Sahib Ji. Sardar Bachchan Singh introduced him as ‘Vakil Sahib (Advocate)’. Param Sant
Manager Sahib Ji said, “Sanu vi ek vakil di lod hai (We also need a Vakil )”. After that Vakil
Bahadur Chand started visiting Dera. At that time he used to reach Dera Jagmalwali on foot
from his village Chautala which is about 52 km away. He also started performing Sewa in the
Dera. Once writing dohas, a person namely Gurdas resident of village Peepli (District Sirsa)
came to Dera Jagmalwali. Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji said him that he could narrate the
quotes, and Gurdas could write them”. Gurdas said, not to give trouble to Vakil Sahib, he shall
do it himself. At this Manger Sahib Ji said, “He will need to quote these dohas later”. Once Vakil
Bahadur Chand Ji requested Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji that he wanted to live in the Dera
Jagmalwali. Manager Sahib Ji said, “you need to wait another four years”. So for next 4 years,
He kept visiting Dera. A small branch of Dera Jagmalwali was built in Village Chautala on the
land of Mahatma Gurdas where he used go at night to perform sewa.

       After Four years Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji ordered Vakil Bahadur Chand Ji to start
living in Dera Jagmalwali. Then he started living in the Dera where he become in charge of the
book store. During night hours he started performing sewa in the fields of the Dera. Whenever
Param Sant Manager Sahib visited other places for Satsang, Vakil Sahab used to look after the
Dera and perform Sewas. Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji always discussed his experiences with
Param Sant Mastana Ji. Vakil Sahib Ji started writing all
those experiences of Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji and also Sakhies of
Param Sant Mastana ji, which other followers of Manager Sahib Ji and Mastana Ji shared with
him. Once Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji told Vakil Sahib Ji that Satguru is with him. Param Sant
Manager Sahib Ji ordered him to look after all the account work of the Dera. There were a
number of Sadhus in the Dera, but Vakil Sahib Ji was not only performing his
duty but also doing Sewa during night hours and also noting the
Bachans of Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji in his personal Diary. Most of the time he spent in
Simran and Sewa. He never disobeyed the Bachans of
Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji. Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji always praised Vakil Sahab’s
Sewa and Simran and also his tolerance power. In Mandi Dabwali, the premis of Param Sant
Manager Sahib Ji used to have weekly Satsang which was conducted by some Premis and
Sadhus. Once a follower of Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji, namely Mahender Kumar Luthra
resident of Delhi but who was at the time residing at Mandi Dabwali, requested Param Sant
Manager Sahib Ji that the weekly satsang in the areas should be conducted by some Sadhus of
the Dera because his speeches gives impression of SATGURU and it will give blessings to the
Premis. On the request of Mahender Kumar Luthra, Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji asked Vakil
Sahab to conduct Satsang at Mandi Dabwali.

       It was in the year 1991 that Vakil Sahib Ji first performed Satsang in Mandi Dabwali. That
time people who were listening were feeling the soul of Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji amongst
themselves. After that, Vakil Sahib Ji started performing Satsangs in different parts of Punjab
and Haryana. Once in the year 1991, during a Monthly Bhandara in Dera Jagmalwali, Param
Sant Manager Sahib Ji who was not well asked Vakil Sahib Ji to conduct Satsang which Vakil
Sahib Ji performed. After the Satsang Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji said,”Vakil ne saadi Dhun
le layi hai (Wakil has taken his voice).” It was surprised to see that Vakil Sahib Ji remembered
names and addresses of all the devotees of Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji. His memory was
sharp and he also remembered all the Bachans of Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji and whenever
he narrates them in any satsang the people feel Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji’s presence
amongst them. Vakil Sahib Ji also started writing a book on the experiences shared by Manager
Sahib Ji with him. Before leaving his CHOLA, Param Sant Manager Sahib Ji in the year 1998
asked all the Sangat that now Vakil Sahib Ji will look after Dera Jagmalwali. Param Sant Manger
Sahib Ji gave him this duty on 9 August 1998. And since then, He is the GADI NASHIN of
Mastana Shah Balochistani Dera Jagmalwali. Param Sant Vakil Sahib Ji always says that Naam,
Simran and Satsang are the ways to find Satguru who take care of Zinda Ram, which exists in
the heart of everyone. He also stresses on Simran because Simran is the best way to meet
Satguru. He also says that Satguru not only cares for those who have taken Naam from Satguru
but also keeps care of the family members of those premis.
