New Delhi: STAR News investigates the journey of Nirmal Baba, also known as Nirmal Singh Narula, in the Indian spiritual community. In a country of blind beliefs and superstition, it is said that Nirmal Baba is known to make wonders with his sixth sense and attained mystic powers. But how true are these. Read on.
Nirmal Baba’s past life:
He was born around 1950 in a Sikh family. Baba got married to the daughter of Dilip Singh Bagga in Jharkhand and has two children (a son & a daughter). Nirmal Baba is the brother-in-law of former speaker of Jharkhand Legislative Assembly, Inder Singh Namdharee. According to Namdhari, he married Baba’s sister in 1964 when Nirmal was only 14-15 years old. After the murder of his father during his childhood, his mother sent him to Daltonganj, Jharkhand in 1970’s. According to our investigations Nirmal Baba during the seventies owned a cloth shop and after a few years he shut the shop Later on he tried his luck in the bricks business and laid the foundation of 'Nirmal Bricks' but failed here as well. In early 1980’s he disappeared and went to Delhi. His friends say he acquired divine powers during this period and develop an inclination towards spiritualism.
Lives in a posh colony in the capital:
He apparently owns a huge home in the Greater Kailsha area of New Delhi. It is said that this man has healing powers and has the ability to scan the individual who is hundreds of kilometers away! Isn’t it strange? Even his family is tightlipped about how he transformed from a business man into a spiritual guru.
Enormous wealth:
He advertises on 35 channels and has over 3 lakh followers on Facebook. Add to this, around 42,000 followers on Twitter. On every congregation (darbar) around 5,000 are believed to be present. Each person has to pay Rs 2,000 to be a part of it. This amounts to a staggering figure of around Rs 1 crore from every darbar he organizes. It is believed that around 7 such darbars are conducted every month which takes the stats to Rs 84 crores per year. This not the end to it.
He gives group appointment, conducts pujas, donations etc.

Every devotee of his who is healed of his problems has to pay 1/10th of his earnings. Plus thousands shell out a lot from their kitty to free themselves from their problems which Baba claims to solve.
He gives group appointments, conducts pujas, donations etc.
What are Baba’s expenses?
Hall where he conducts, advertisement, establishment costs of running his organization - paying employees, website. Taxes he pays.
Do you agree with Inder Singh Namdharee?
Nirmal Baba claims that he has white money and has nothing to hide. He has displayed his bank accounts openly to the public. He pays tax in advance and files Income Tax returns. All these factors make me keep quiet.
STAR News is still not convinced.
Publicly displayed bank account numbers:
ICICI A/c Number : 002-905-010-576
Account Name : NIRMAL DARBAR
PNB A/c Number : 1546-0021-0002-3105

Recent controversy:
Two youngsters, Tanaya Thakur and Aritya Thakur, filed a report against self-proclaimed godman Nirmal Baba at a police station on Wednesday in Lucknow. They want the Baba punished for allegedly cheating ordinary people through his “impractical” solutions.
The Delhi High Court has restrained a US-based website from posting any material on its webpages that is defamatory to spiritual guru Nirmal baba. Justice Manmohan Singh in his interim order directed the portal, www.hubpages.com, not to publish any material on its site which is harmful to the reputation of Nirmaljit Singh Narula also known as 'Nirmal baba'.
Well we feel if he can solve others problems then why is he knocking the judiciary’s door to fix his own troubles.
