Paramhans Bramhleen Sant Hirdaram Sahibji (1906-2006)
Empathy and not sympathy propagated Paramhans Sant Hirdaram Sahibji. Paramhans Sant Hirdaram Sahibji preached to approach each patient who comes to the hospital with empathy, to understand their problems, not just medical but also social before treating them. Our visionaries exhorted us to serve patients with a selfless devotion to earn their goodwill. Our dedicated team at the hospital strives to follow their guidance.
Paramhans Bramhleen Sant Hirdaram Sahibji (1906-2006) was visionary par excellence. He was a devoted reformer, a social entrepreneur, a philanthropist, a leader, a legend, and a practitioner of the art of giving. Paramhans Sant Hirdaram Sahibji popularly known as Santji is an example of an entire life given to social service of the highest order.
Master Hirdaram, renounced the world at the young age of 18 under the guidance of his Guru, His Holiness Baba Hariram Sahib. Sant Hirdaram Sahibji remained bal-brahmachari (bachelor throughout his life) devoting his entire life for devotion of Almighty and for the up liftment of the society.
Santji’s only message to everyone was – “Do something to help your fellow brethren”. His service philosophy is a think-tank for everyone irrespective of the caste, colour, creed or nationality.
To honour Paramhans Sant Hirdaram Sahib’s selfless and lifelong dedicated work to serve the community, the Madhya Pradesh government in 1995 changed the name of the township where he lived and worked from Bairagarh to Sant Hirdaram
Rev. Siddh Bhauji
A visionary and an exceptionally gifted organizer in his own right, Rev. Siddh Bhau has carried forward the mantle and mission of his Gurdev, Paramhans Sant Hirdaram Sahib, with an exemplary dedication & missionary zeal which have few parallels. His simplicity, humility, inspiring leadership and especially that all pervasive passion to relentlessly work for the good of the society, particularly the weaker sections, women, young girls and senior citizens, put him in a class of his own and elevated him to the select club of the truly great.
Rev. Siddh Bhauji is the Chairman Emeritus of Sewa Sadan Eye Hospital Trust. He is totally committed to the welfare mission of his Guru and leaves no stone unturned for completing the welfare projects.

Blindness in children leads to deep impact on psychological, emotional, and socioeconomic growth to the family. A child with blindness is more likely to have delays in developmental milestones, to be more frequently hospitalized, and die during childhood than a sighted child. Such severe vision loss also adversely effects the educational activities, orientation, and mobility from the early stage of life resulting in lack of employment privilege. These differential characteristics between a sighted and non-sighted child is more obvious in developing countries. Moreover, the disability adjusted life years (DALY) loss in a blind child is far more than that of adults with blindness.
