During the recent visit of Respected Raj Mami ji and Narinder Mama ji to Chicago, we almost continually talked about Bhapa Ram Chand ji Maharaj.
And in those heartfelt conversations, a thought kept echoing in my mind...
How rare and blessed are those souls who, even long after they have physically departed, continue to live vividly in the hearts and thoughts of those who knew them.
Bhapa Ram Chand ji was one such divine soul — a presence so pure, so deeply rooted in devotion and humility, that even time cannot fade his imprint.
His simplicity, his loving nature, his calm presence, and wisdom — they all left an unspoken mark on every life he touched.
As we shared memories, stories, and small moments we had witnessed, it felt as if he was with us — smiling gently, listening quietly, and silently blessing.
There was a certain energy and peace in remembering him.
It reminded us that true saints don’t just live in time — they live beyond time.
Their lives are not just remembered — they become living guidance for generations to come.
And remembering them — talking about them — is our way of staying close to them.
Of keeping their light alive in our hearts.
However, it also made me think - -
What about us?
What about me?
"Ek din ham bhi kahaani ban kay hee reh jayengay
Par Kahaani aesi ho - ki log dohraatay rahen
Chehray ka hai kya - Vo to maati me mil jaayega
Baaten meri 'Rajan' - log suntay sunaatay rahen"
One day, we too will become just a story —
But let it be a story worth retelling, again and again.
What’s in a face? It will turn to dust one day.
Let it be my words, Rajan, that people keep listening to... and passing on.
" Rajan Sachdeva "
Well said, the reality is that such souls are illumined and guide us towards such luminiousity in our lives.
