Satguru in the Sikh tradition chose his successor (next physical form)when alive and openly announced the successor to the Sangat. Where possible, the next form of the Satguru was placed on the throne of Guruship and the previous form bowed to him. This has been the tradition of Sri Guru Nanak.
It is an established fact that “Satguru” Jagjeet Singh did not leave a successor. He did not announce the next Namdhari leader to the sangat nor did he write about it. In fact, he spent his final 25 days on a ventilator, without any communication. His death left the Namdhari sangat shocked and confused.
