Baba Nand Singh Ji ordered, that full size portraits Guru Nanak Dev Ji be placed within the Nanaksar Gurdwara and in houses. Some people, due to ignorance, used to call this idol worship.

Baba Ji used to observe that :

"The portrait is only for remembering Guru Nanak Dev Ji with affection and to enable the devotee to concentrate his mind in perpetually remembering the True Master. No doubt, you shall have to worship only One Universal God. However, remembrance of the Helper, who will unite you with God; is no sin."

In this Dark Age, some people put on the walls of their rooms, photos of actresses, etc. These impart evil impression on their minds. Then why not keep the portraits of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the' house? By seeing it, you will remember the Divine Master, who showered truth, virtues and peace etc. everywhere.

Baba Ji observes that:

"Naam is repeated by tongue. But God can be seen by sincerely worshipping the True Guru."

Baba Nand Ji once explained that there are nine types of bhagti such as hearing the glories of the divine, singing His glories (Kirtan), sewa (service), Naam Simran and so on. Without true Prema Bhagti, without intense devotion and yearning, it is difficult to attain God.

Before the Diwan held on the Pooranmashi night ended, Baba Ji used to address the Sangat as follows:

“Gurmukho, people beg for money, cloth, bread or any such things, but I also beg for one thing from you. What is that? That thing has become extremely rare in this world and that is the NAAM. I beg from all of you some of your time. Get up early in the morning, take your bath, sit and remember God and repeat His Name.”
