Though his early sojourn led him to England, it was Daytona in Florida , USA, where he found a permanent residence.

Beyond medical practice, Dr. Kirpal Singh emerged as a luminary and mentor on a global scale. During the challenging epoch of the Covid pandemic, he pioneered the use of webinars and online seminars, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to knowledge dissemination.

Dr. Kirpal Singh, alongside his esteemed wife, Dr. Phyllis Singh, epitomized the principles espoused by Guru Baba Nanak. Their belief in fostering mutual goodwill, love, understanding, universal welfare, and worldwide peaceful coexistence reverberated in their philanthropic endeavors. Notably, they provided substantial financial support to authors, enabling the publication of diverse works. Dr. Singh's generosity extended to backing the "Voice of Manavata" TV shows, where he held a prominent role.
