The programme took place on the 15th-16th September 2009 at Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar Pehowa, where hundreds of thousands of people from all around the world arrived to take part in the annual celebrations.
On the morning of the 15th September 2009, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj led at the forefront a nagar kirtan which took place from the Darbar Sahib at Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar Pehowa to the 3 acre diwaan hall where the rehnsbhai celebrations were arranged to take place. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered filling rooftops of Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar, to witness the celebrations and pay tribute to the life of Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji Maharaj Rara Sahib Wale. A special aircraft was arranged to fly over the nagar kirtan and spray flowers over Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. A large scale langar arrangement similar to that arranged at Sri Hazoor Sahib during the 300th Gurta Gurgaddi celebrations, was also in place for the sangat containing countless dishes including pizza, noodles, chips, burgers, etc.
As the celebrations took place throughout the day, countless Ragis, Thadis, Kavishris, Kirtanees and Sant Mahapuraks from all around the globe also arrived at Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar to pay tribute and take part in the celebrations.. Sangat were informed of the countless great deeds Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji carried out during their lifetime, helping those in need for over half a century. An example given of an achievement by such a great soul, was that Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji encouraged over 900,000 people, who were away from religion, to join Sikhism, follow the principles set by Guru Sahib Ji, take Amrit and come under the fold of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj.
Taking into account the love shown by the Sikh Community, Baba Ji agreed to carry out kirtan at the residence of Bhai Gurmit Singh. Upon finding out about the programme all were welcome and hundreds of members of the Sikh Community attended to listen and seek the blessing of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj.

Addressing the sangat, the Jathedars explained the importance of such large scale programmes, informing the sangat of the vital role Sant Mahapuraks and respectfully Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji play in furthering the principles of Sikhism, aiding those distant from Sikhi to come under the fold of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Paying tribute to Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji, the Jathedars stated it was via the blessing of such great souls, that Sant Mahapuraks like Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji dedicate their entire lives preaching Sikhism inspiring thousands to join the Khalsa Panth. The Jathedars congratulated Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji, stating they would stand arm in arm, providing full support for all future programmes. They further went on to state that they would carry out an Ardas, that the life of Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji would continue in carrying out Sewa for the Khalsa Panth.
Sant Baba Mann Singh Ji also carried out kirtan, further enlightening the sangat of the glowing, purified personality and life of Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji. Baba Ji stated it was due to the guidance, love and blessing of Sant Baba Isher Singh Ji, that they themselves decided to dedicate their own life in following and preaching the principles of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Baba Ji further went on to state that in continuance of the 300th Gurta Gurgaddi celebrations a 3rd mahan nagar kirtan (following the first from Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib to Sri Hazoor Sahib and the second from Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar to Sri Harmandir Sahib) was being arranged to take place in march 2010, from Gurdwara Sachkhand Isher Darbar Pehowa to Thakat Sri Damdama Sahib in Bhatinda.
