From Baru Sahib to Oxford – Dr. Tarundeep Singh’s Inspiring Journey in Psychiatry

The journey of Dr. Tarundeep Singh, an alumnus of Akal Academy Baru Sahib, is an inspiring reflection of how education blended with spiritual wisdom can shape global leaders. Currently practising as a psychiatrist in Sussex, UK, and pursuing specialisation in Adult Psychiatry at Oxford, his story is a testament to the vision nurtured by Baru Sahib.

Meeting with The Kalgidhar Trust President in the UK

During a recent UK Alumni Connect event, Dr. Tarundeep Singh had a heartfelt meeting with Dr. Davinder Singh Ji, President of The Kalgidhar Trust. This emotional encounter was a reminder of the deep-rooted values and blessings that continue to guide Baru Sahib alumni across the globe.

How Baru Sahib Shaped His Life

A School That Became a Second Home
Dr. Tarundeep’s journey began with two transformative years at Akal Academy Baru Sahib, nestled in the serene Himalayas. Here, he was immersed in:

• Gurbani and Seva (selfless service)
• Theatre, debates, and cultural exchange
• A nurturing environment of discipline, compassion, and spiritual growth

These formative experiences became the foundation of both his personal integrity and professional success.

Serving Humanity Through Mental Health

Today, the same spiritual and ethical values he learned at Baru Sahib guide his compassionate work in the field of mental health. As a practising psychiatrist, Dr. Tarundeep is making meaningful contributions to society while staying deeply connected to his roots.
