way they also visited many of Guru Maharaj’s shrines in the area before stopping at Baba Budda Ji’s shrine, where they completed their evening prayer of Rehras Sahib. This was also the spot where Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj stayed on their way to and from, Haridwar. From here they went to the site of Sant Harnam Singh Gali Bhaag wale, where this Saint and his disciples served Baba Ji and the Hoti devotee’s food. Now as more and more people and Saints found out of Baba Ji’s arrival they all began to arrive presenting gifts of money and garlands of flowers, fulfilling their souls with Baba Ji’s heavenly vision. Baba Ji stayed at Amritsar for four days but feeling the pull of their devotees back at Hoti they moved on by train. Many devotees accompanying Baba Ji wanted to visit Panja Sahib, Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s shrine, so Baba Ji fulfilling their desire stopped there for two days, where they gave their presence and words of spiritual enlightenment to the local devotees. Their journey took them to Hazaro, as previously the devotees from this area had requested their presence, and so a gathering was held here. Baba Ji stopped here for a night before continuing on to Lanspur Station and boarded the train. On each stop devotees had gathered in masses for their sweet vision. When the train reached Jahangire Station Baba Ji and the devotees made their way to Saidu where they paid their respects to Guru Maharaj Ji. The local devotees served them with great devotion holding a gathering here and resting for the night. The next day they reached Mardan where all were aware of their arrival and the devotees had gathered with instrumental bands with gifts. With love they bowed and greeted Baba Ji, carrying them in a throne to Hoti, as finally their saviour had returned putting all their souls at ease. With Guru Ji’s food prepared it was served to all meanwhile Baba Ji asked the disciples who had stayed behind of their wellbeing and if everything at the camp was running fine, before returning back to their hut where they peacefully sat in their True Lord’s love. 172
CHAPTER SEVEN Blessing of a son to Sardaar Sahib Singh Ji In the village of Jalajan in Ludhiana district, there was a devotee of Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj, by the name of Jeeva Singh Ji. He also had a younger brother named Sahib Singh, both of who were in the army. Both had received their pensions and had retired. Now Sahib Singh had two wives but still no son. Jeeva Singh knowing all too well of Baba Ji’s blessings, had told his brother to visit Hoti. That Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj was now on the spiritual throne of Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj and he should get his wish fulfilled from them as they leave no one empty handed. But Sahib Singh Ji was not very impressed with the idea, as he had given up hope. He had already traveled all around and tried everything and had come to the conclusion that if it was supposed to be then it would have happened, but now he was growing old. He had served many Saints and Holymen but none had blessed him with a son. His brother explained to him that he shouldn’t see Baba Ji like every other small village Holyman, as Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj was one who could bless an empty vessel and fill it up, but warned also that if one was to disrespect them they could empty that vessel. But Bhai Sahib Singh still wasn’t convinced. Bhai Jeeva Singh Ji as a last resort tried again to convince his brother and said, “If you still can’t go then just write a few words on paper and post it to them and they’ll still bless you.” His brother laughed and said, “And that’s why people consider us Soldiers to be stupid, as who has ever received sons by writing a letter.” But Jeeva Singh insisted, “What harm is it to you, a letter will only cost you pennies which you can take from me.” This constant nagging continued for days which eventually got to Sahib Singh. Now reaching the end of his tether he eventually got hold of a envelope and gave it to his bother Jeeva Singh and said, “Here why don’t you write it yourself? As you’re always going on about it, but has this never happened that some one was blessed by post?” Bhai Jeeva Singh taking the envelope off his brother began to write a small letter with great innocence and devotion, saying. “Maharaj! My brother has no son; he has even gotten married twice and has wandered many places to fulfill his wish. He has received his pension so is financially comfortable but his body is growing old. Could you please write down a blessing of a son on the enclosed envelope and send it back.” Writing this he posted it and many who knew him, laughed at his stupidity, as who gets blessings of a child by post. Meanwhile on the third day the letter arrived at Hoti, Baba Ji in the afternoon was sitting outside of their hut giving their presence to the devotees and fulfilling their wishes. At which time a disciple was going through the post. Now on opening this letter the disciple read this to Baba Ji and explained in total confusion the request of Jeeva Singh Ji letter. At first Baba Ji laughed at the strangeness of this request, even the devotees who were sitting nearby laughed. But then Baba Ji went quiet and began to think deeply saying to himself that if now I 173
