Gathering at Naushera Cantt On Baba Ji’s journey back the devotees of Naushera had also requested Baba Ji presence, “O Lord! Please bless us by placing your lotus feet in our area.” Baba Ji, knowing their continuous love and devotion agreed to fulfill their wishes. The residents of Naushera had already begun their preparations and as the train reached Naushera station, they waited ahead anxiously; even all the railway staff and the Station Master had come to welcome Baba Ji. They had already arranged to carry Baba Ji in a throne, through this station that had been brightly decorated with finely embroidered silks draping from roof tops and flags. As the trained stopped at the platform the devotees eagerly waited for Baba Ji’s sweet vision. Stepping out of the train Baba Ji was welcomed by an endless wave of love from these beloved souls, whom all bowed showing their devotion and presenting gifts of money and flowers. The devotees of Naushera requested the service of carrying Baba Ji’s throne to the <strong>Sikh</strong> Temple, as the procession was lead with instrumental bands followed by devotees singing the Guru’s prayers. The streets were lined with all the residents, all awaiting the opportunity of Baba Ji’s heavenly vision, whilst flower petals floated down from the roof tops on to the procession. Just before reaching the Temple, Baba Ji got down from their throne and made their way by foot to the entrance. With humbles Baba Ji bowed to Guru Maharaj Ji and placed a garland flowers on to Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj and after taking Guru Maharaj’s word, sat down to listen to the sweet words being echoed of the Gurus scriptures. At 12 noon food was served whiles the program continued till until 3pm. Meanwhile, Baba Ji left some of Hoti disciples to continued with the task of serving in the free kitchen and went out with a few of the devotees to the river, before heading to Sardarni Kirpal Kaur’s house were their meal had been prepared. She served them and the accompanying devotees with great devotion and also presented a gift of one hundred and one rupees with some beautiful soft cotton cloth for robes with dried fruit to Baba Ji. As well as giving clothing for all the disciples. At the same time others devotees also presented their gifts and gain sweet blessings from Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj. Leaving Naushera After eating at Sardarni Kirpal Kaurs house Baba Ji went back and rested. In the morning the more devotees, this time from Naushera Kula had arrived and requested Baba Ji’s presence, taking them further to their village. Baba Ji nearing the <strong>Sikh</strong> Temple got off their throne and from a distance bowed to Guru Maharaj Ji as the program was already underway. Many blessed souls sat in peace in Guru Maharaj’s presence listening to these heavenly hymns. And with Baba Ji presence all the gifts and powers of the heavens swirled around them trying to serve them in anyway possible with money piling up at their feet. The free kitchen continued until the evening, meantime Baba Ji blessed the devotees and gave fruit to all with their own hands, before taking leave to return to Hoti. 156
Returning to Hoti Now the devotees from Hoti had already arrived to accompany Baba Ji back, which they did that very night from Naushera. They had prepared everything with the help of Khan Sahib and other beloved souls, as on Baba Ji’s return a program was underway, ending that night at 11pm. With the help of everyone, the food that night had been on behalf Sant Mota Singh Ji, which began at 7pm until 12pm, after which Baba Ji and the Hoti disciples rested until 2am then bathed, before continuing their daily meditations. At sunrise they were accompanied by devotees carried in their throne back to the Hoti site. After which all the devotees asked for leave and all were given gifts of fruit and blessings before returning back to their homes. Bringing to an end the first 9 th Maarg (falls in January) celebration in the year of 1960 Bikhrami (1903 Christian calendar), and the pilgrimage to Saidu. Keeping faith in the Lord and meditating on his name After a quite few days, the Hoti site again had returned back to its former ways, with the hustle and bustle of the congregation as many of the devotees had accompanied Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj to Saidu. But today the congregation started early and all the devotees and disciples, who had missed out on the pilgrimage, were eagerly awaiting Baba Ji’s presence. Baba was attending as usual fulfilling everyone’s wishes leaving none empty handed. After the congregation ended, before they left to their hut they went to visit the animals in the barns that were kept at the Hoti site. The horses on seeing Baba Ji began to nod their heads and stamping their hoofs in joy. Baba Ji stroked them gently giving them blessings and before leaving gave orders to the keeper in charge, to double the amount of food given to the animals and that all of the animals should also be given the food from the Guru’s free kitchen. Baba Ji returned back to their hut, where they ate their meal and rested. In the evening the evening pray of Sodhar Rehras Sahib was done in the open air and even the evening meal was served outdoors to all the devotees. Then Baba Ji rested again at 11pm before beginning his usual early morning meditations, which was, bathing at 2am and then sitting in deep meditation until sunrise after which they would be accompanied to Hoti, to attend the congregation which always ended at 10am, completing the morning routine before returning back to their hut. Now on this occasion, after their midday meal Baba Ji sat in meditation on their bed under a tree with the devotees present. At that moment Sardar Nand Singh and his wife Sardarni Nirmal Kaur had come to see Baba Ji, with love they placed a gift at his feet, then bowed and sat in the congregation in which Ragi Lal Singh and many others were present. The Sardarni with folded hands made a request saying, “Maharaj! Please bless me with the Gurus mantra.” All knowing Baba Ji asked, “Why? Haven’t you taken been given the gift of the Lords name from anyone yet?” She replied, "No, not to this day I haven’t.” Now the truth was that she had already been blessed with this. But for some unknown reason she lied. Baba Ji was the knower of all hearts and told her, “Lady! You can go around taking the Gurus mantra from everywhere, but it will only benefit and bear fruit if you have full faith in it and 157
