THE ORDER WAS STARTED BY BHAI KANHAIYA, A DEVOUT SIKH IN THE SERVICE OF GURU GOBIND SINGH. BHAI JAGTA JI WAS THE SUCCESSOR TO BHAI BHALA RAM AND FIFTH IN THE LINE OF BHAI KANHAIYA. BHAI JAGTA JI WAS A NATIVE OF MAGHIANA IN THE DISTRICT OF JHANG, PRESENTLY IN PAKISTAN. BHAI JAGTA’S UNTIRING COMMITMENT AND PURITY OF HEART WON THE NOBLE SAINT’S CONFIDENCE AND HE WAS ADMITTED INTO THE SEWA PANTHI FOLD. HIS LIFE THEREAFTER WAS ONE OF MEDITATION, SOCIAL SERVICE AND LOVE FOR HUMANITY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ANECDOTES OF BHAI JAGTA’S ACTS OF GENEROSITY, COMPASSION, PHILANTHROPY AND COMPLETE EFFACEMENT OF EGO. EVERYONE APPEARED TO HIM IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. HE SAW THE DIVINE MASTER IN ALL HUMAN BEINGS. HE SERVED EVEN THOSE WHO DISLIKED AND MALIGNED HIM. THE DEPARTMENT OF POSTS IS HONOURED TO ISSUE A COMMEMORATIVE POSTAGE ON BHAI JAGTA JI A SYMBOL OF COMPASSION AND AN EPITOME OF THE NOBLEST VIRTUES OF THE SEWA PANTHI ORDER.
