Created by:: Ranbir Singh Virk

In Feb.1856 (Samat 1913 Bikrami) at village Garmula (Chack No.169 ) Distt. Gujaranwala (now in Pakistan) Sardar Jawand singh got a son named Mool Singh. He got his primary education at Karyal town from Molawi Karam ILahi. During study he started teaching students also. And when he promoted, in 4th standard, he took part in middle exams and so he took very good marks and completed his middle. So he became a teacher Mudrassa. After that he got married at Badoratte, quit teaching in 1883 and started Ayurveda when a Yogi taught him about recognisation of some Herbs but did not got perfaction so he joined Police and posted at Pindi Bhatian policestation in 1885. There, he met Mian Umardeen and started learning Ayurveda.

When he got perfaction,he took permission from his teacher, resigned police and started practise at village Gurmula. He got popularity in whole area espacially in Sandalbar and Kasoor (Majha) area. With the blessings of Waheguru, he started curing patients suffering from diseases. He was having a perfact formula in infertility. Thus so many people got children with this formula. He taught so many students who got very popular and served very well to patients.Dr. Dalip singh Dyalpura gate Karnal, Dr. Gurcharan Singh Kataria Karnal, Dr. Iqbal Singh Jalandhar, his grand son Dr.Jaswant Singh VIRK ( Nilokheri ) are well known in their areas.
He was not only an Perfect Ayurveda Doctor ( Vaid ) but a Sikh Preacher also.As i heard from my grandfather Sardar Santokh Singh Jee,Bhai Sahab was having such a laud throt that people could listen his lecture from mile of distence without laudspeaker.He was known as a very angry person also.Because if somebody ignore his order in his family,he started beating with his stick (Khunda).There were so many people who learnt from him who to perform religius speech(Sikhi Parchaar).Sir Sunder Singh Majithha use to call Bhai Sahab when and where he got some difficult situations. In thosedays,in virk families their were so many men who got married with muslim women.And Bhai Sahab Started Amrit Parchar between those couples and made them Sikhs (Singh).So muslim Comunity was not in favour of that type of Amrit Parchar (Sudhi Karan).He became very popular and respected person in the whole Sandalbar Area and got a reward as Bhai (Sahab)from Singh Sabha Lahore.He got Namberdari,SafaidPoshi and Zaildari.

Bhai Kartar Singh Jhabar also serve Sikhs due to Bhai Sahab.Jhathedar Kartar Singh Jhabar listened his lecture in Village Varan in 1904 along with his young companions. He was so captivated with it, that wherever Bhai Gurmula delivered his lectures, Jhabbar would attend with his party. In such meetings, often there was commotion and strong opposition to the campaign for shudhi. At such moments, Jhabbar and his party proved useful. The more faith Jhabbar reposed in Bhai Gurmula, the more he began to be appreciated by the latter. Earlier, at an amrit ceremony at Nankana Sahib, Bhai Gurmula had declined to initiate Jhabbar for his undeserving appearance, but on his insistence, which Bhai Gurmula appreciated, Jhabbar was initiated. By and by Jhabbar had become Bhai Gurmula’s companion. Sometimes fighting seemed imminent just for Jhabbar’s over enthusiasm in such meetings. Therefore, Bhai Gurmula forbade him to speak anywhere when there could be a chance of a quarrel.

Then a huge Shudhi conference was held in the village Kotli Dasu Singh, district Sialkot ( Pakistan ).Bhai Mool Singh was speaking at the stage when a group of 50 to 60 people of other religion attacked the audience. Two prominent Sikhs were seriously injured. The attackers advanced towards Bhai Mool Singh shouting “Get that long bearded man”. Jhabbar was standing close by, but he was under vow not to speak whatever might happen. However, Jhabbar spoke out, “Bhai Sahib, now it is your turn to be assaulted”. Bhai Sahib observed, “what are you then waiting for?”. At this signal, Jhabbar snatched a lathi from one of this companions and hurriedly struck down several of the attackers. Frightened, they fled and the danger was averted. Bhai sahab knews that only good education is the key to strengthen the Society. So they started opening Schools.This period was devoted for the spread of education among the Sikhs. Under the guidance of the Education Committee of the Chief Khalsa Diwan, new schools were being opened. In 1913, Bhai Mool Singh Gurmula purchased 13 kanals of land in village Bhanaur close to Gurdwara Khara Sauda, and constructed a school building. In 1917.

He got three sons from his wife Ishar kaur jee (Mata Jee),named (Sardar)Harnam Singh, (Sardar)wariyam Singh and (Sardar) Arjun Singh. (Sardar) Harnam Singh died in 1919.
