Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha
Of all the preserved photographs
of Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha I like these two best as they show a mystical
glow on his face as of a man who has the understanding of Godhead. These are of
his old age, around the time he was in the divine association of Babaji
Maharaj. He was a friend of HH Babaji Maharaj who had the good fortune to leave
his mortal frame in His divine presence. Babaji Maharaj wrote the Nabha Manuscript for Maharaja Hira Singh, in which he explained how a king should rule his subjects.Maharaja Hira Singh was not born as a prince. Maharaja Bhagwan Singh who earlier ruled Nabha from 1864–1871, died without an heir. According to tradition, Hira Singh a distant relative in a village neighboring Nabha was decided upon as the next in line according to the Maharaja of Patiala and Jind. Maharaja Hira Singh then become king and ruled from 1871-1911. He was honoured with G.C.S.I. and G.C.I.I. titles by British. His only son was Maharaja Ripudman Singh became ruler in 1912 after Maharaja Hira Singh.
