It has to be appreciated Seva Panthis, like the other Sanatan Sikhs, also had a good knowledge of ancient Hindu religious texts. Karam Das Udhasi speaking on behalf of Seva Panthis comments:

‘On show is only [Adi] Guru Granth, but, if a person comes of such a thinking and desires a religious [Hindu] text to read and wants to appreciate it’s teachings, then, he won’t be turned away by us [Udhasis and Sevapanthis].’
(Karam Das Udhasi, transcript of a recording, 06-03-2001)

The founder of Tikana Bhai Jagta Ji Sahib, Goniana Mandi, Batinda, Punjab

Baba Karam Singh explains how Seva Panthis also visited Hindu religious festivals such as Kumbh Mela (held every 12 years), and other festivals:

‘Seva Pathis then went there [Kumbh] when we [Udhasis] sent them a invitation that:
‘Oh Maharaj we are all to gather at such such a place. There we to inaugurate, plan something etc.’
There they attended all our functions and we attend all there functions.’
(Baba Karam Das, transcript of a recording, 06-03-2001)


Shriman 108 Mahant Bhai Tirath Singh Ji 'Seva Panthi' (1925- )

Like the Nirmalas and Udasis drawing from Hindu scriptures, the Seva Panthis drew upon the common lessons of human love and compassion found in the holy Koran and Adi Guru Durbar to expound the philosophy of oneness of Nirankar God and all mankind.
