garlands of flowers. The Hoti disciples and their luggage were carried on one chariot
whilst Baba Ji travelled on another chariot with Baba Attar Singh Ji Maharaj, which
were being pulled by the devotees of the area, taking turns for this opportunity. Many
of the devotees wanted to carry on by taking a longer route, but Baba Ji with
humbleness insisted on going straight to Guru Maharaj Ji’s presence saying that they
were a servant of Guru Maharaj Ji’s. Passing through Rampur they eventually reached
the site of Reru Sahib where Baba Ji with gifts paid his respects to Guru Maharaj Ji
and sat near by. The program had already begun with the singing of Guru Ji’s hymns
after which a small prayer was completed to end the program. They with the devotees
went into the free kitchen where a beautiful throw was laid down for them to sit upon,
and an array of different dishes were served to them and the rest of the congregation,
after which they rested for a while before the afternoon program.
Meanwhile news had spread to different near by areas of Baba Ji’s arrival as the
devotees from the areas of Ludhiana, Khanna and many more areas had gathered for
their vision. From Bheni Sahib, Sant Partap Singh Ji with many elders and other
Saints had arrived to see them. Baba Ji showed everyone great respect seating Sant
Baba Partap Singh Ji next to them and gave everyone dried fruits with their own
hands. The atmosphere echoed of their praise. After the evening had finished, Sant
Partap Singh Ji requested Baba Ji’s presence at Bheni Sahib, but Baba Ji humbly with
hands folded said, “Beloved of the Lord! It was your vision and presence; I wanted
which you have given to me here. I have been away from Hoti for quite sometime and
so now I have the desire to return as soon as possible.”
So with each others visions and exchange of loving words over, Sant Partap Singh Ji
with their devotees returned back to Bheni Sahib, whilst Baba Ji went out for a walk
into the open. They walked around looking at the Temple site of Reru Sahib
Gurdwara and other places such as Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji Maharaj’s meditation
place, Gokhe di Tilaee, where Sant Attar Singh Ji Maharaj would sit under a tree in a
Hole and do hard meditation. Sant Attar Singh Ji Maharaj as well as the devotees
were accompanying them and on seeing all of this Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj was
very pleased and said, “Older brother! In this land of Malvaa you have made the name
of Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj shine, by maintaining all the ways of Hoti Mardan,
so from this day on Hoti will come here! So none of the devotees from here have to
travel to Hoti, instead visiting this site will be the same as visiting the site of Hoti and
your beautiful vision will be the same as having the vision of Baba Karam Singh Ji
Maharaj, as we are very pleased. Just as all the sangat has asked for many blessing, I
wish you to ask me for something.”
At which point Sant Attar Singh Ji Maharaj with humbleness made replied, “Lord!
Blessings are asked from others, but this is all yours and you have done all of this, as I
have never ever have thought let alone desired for anything.”
But Baba Ji asked again, “No, I insist! Ask for anything.” Sant Attar Singh Ji Maharaj
replied, “If you insist then bless me with the Lords name and the Gurus teachings, and
the blessing that until my last breath, I may spend my time under this tree and in that
hole in my Lords love.”
On hearing such a beautiful and priceless wish, which was so much higher then any
worldly wish, Baba Ji’s eye’s welled up, on seeing his true love. He embraced him
