“Call Beyond the Line – Baba Deep Singh” is more than a painting; it is a living moment from Sikh history captured at the instant of ultimate decision. Baba Deep Singh, in his iconic blue bana and towering dastar with Khanda in hand, draws the unseen line that separates comfort from sacrifice. His gaze is unflinching, and you can almost hear the silence before the roar, the split second when ordinary men decide to become shaheeds.
Every detail in this artwork pulls you into this masterpiece: the gleam of steel, the tension in the stances. The composition leads your eye straight to Baba Deep Singh, yet the surrounding men, some in thought, some already stepping forward, make you feel like you’re standing among them, being asked the same question: “Will you cross the line?” Displayed above a warm fireplace or in a formal living room, it becomes the spiritual and emotional centerpiece of the space, radiating courage, discipline, and chardi kala.
Story: Baba Ji drew a line on the ground with his Khanda and asked only those who were willing to fight and die to cross the line. Baba Deep Singh Ji then recited the shabad: “Jo to praym khaylan ka chaao, sir dhar talee galee mayree aao.” (Those who wish to play the game of love (follow Sikhism), come to me with your head in your palm.) “It maarag pair dhareejai, sir deejai kaan na keejai.” (If you wish your feet to travel this path, don’t delay in accepting to give your head.) They all crossed the line eagerly.
Owning this piece is like hanging a daily ardas on your wall. It doesn’t just decorate a room; it transforms it into a reminder of fearless faith, of defending dharam against all odds, and of the power of a single vow. For any Sikh home, office, or studio, this is that one statement artwork guests will walk up to, fall silent in front of, and ask about—giving you the perfect chance to share the story of Baba Deep Singh and the line that changed history.
