Empowering Lives – Overcoming Drug Addiction with Baba Iqbal Singh Ji

Guiding the Way to a Drug-Free Life

Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, the visionary leader of the Kalgidhar Society at Baru Sahib, spearheads a network of Akal Academies dedicated to nurturing spiritually grounded individuals and helping rehabilitate drug addicts, particularly in Punjab.

Addictions to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco often stem from low self-esteem and negative influences. Baba Iqbal Singh Ji emphasizes the importance of family and friends supporting addicts with love, faith, and understanding. Instead of ostracizing them, share stories of spiritual resilience, such as those of Dhruva, Prahlad, and the sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who displayed remarkable courage during adversities. Encourage them to recite the Divine Name, a practice that fosters strength to resist addiction and offers genuine bliss through spirituality rather than toxic highs.

The Power of Positive Influence

When addicts come into contact with positive role models, their transformation begins. The uplifting aura of good company inspires them to adopt a new perspective, turning negative habits into positive actions. Providing healthy, delicious food and creating a nurturing environment further boosts their self-esteem and helps them rediscover life’s joys.

A Transformative Approach Through Education

The Kalgidhar Trust at Baru Sahib has established schools across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh to provide holistic education. These institutions aim to empower students to become catalysts for change within their communities, promoting a life free from drugs and alcohol.

One remarkable example comes from Moga, Punjab, where two children from an affluent Sikh family were inspired by their Akal Academy education to confront their parents’ drinking habits. Despite initial resistance, the children’s determination led their parents to abandon alcohol and eventually embrace the Sikh way of life.

Impacting Generations for a Better Future

Baba Iqbal Singh Ji’s mission highlights the transformative power of value-based education and spirituality. By cultivating an environment of positivity and resilience, his initiatives offer a sustainable path to combat addiction and create a healthier society.
