Dadi-Nani Ki Kahaani Nani Ki Kahaani Nani Ki Kahaani

Ahirio took a rose dipped in deadly poison and asked Ratanchand to take him to the new
born baby. Ahirio had never seen such a charming baby. He hesitated at first, but soon
extended the flower to the baby’s lips. Jhulelal smiled knowingly and blew the flower in
one breath. The flower flew out of Ahirio’s hand. Then Ahirio saw that the child was no
more in the cradle. Instead, an old man with white long beard was staring at him! All of a
sudden the old man turned into a youngster of sixteen years! Again he saw Jhulelal on a
horseback with a blazing naked sword in his hand and there were rows of warriors behind
him. It was a scene of battle field. A cold shiver passed through the body of Ahirio
bowed reverently.
Jhulelal was born during difficult times.
Mirkshah tried various means to do away with Jhulelal but the latter was always saved by
miraculous interventions.
When Mirkshah finally confronted Jhulelal, he 'heard' a sermon which proclaimed that
the whole of Creation was created by only One God, who Muslims called 'Allah' and
Hindus 'Ishwar'. Jhulelal promised to come to the aid of his devotees whenever he would
be called upon.
Everyone then understood once and for all that Jhulelal, the Water-God, was a holy man
and as such he should be respected by Hindus as well as Muslims.
Some believe that Ahirio proclaimed at the top of his voice that Khwaja Khizr swam the
Sindhu against tide and rested on an island near Rohri!
The world is passing through a stormy time, once again.
Shall we remember to call upon Jhulelal, specially, this 'Cheti-chand'. (Sindhi New
Year)?
With love,
Dadi Ma Nani Ma
