don’t fulfill this devotee’s wish it will hurt his faith, but also that Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj’s name may be tarred as well as my Gurus. Baba Ji, considered this <strong>Sikh</strong>’s faith and innocence for him to post such a request. Baba Ji considered all the consequences of this situation, until finally he asked the disciple to write a reply. The devotees were amazed at Baba Ji’s compassion on blessing this soul. Many of the devotees in their hearts echoed the words ‘Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj with whose blessing so many devotees even in foreign lands had been and were still being saved! And Dhan Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj! Who had so much compassion on his devotees!’ The disciple obeying Baba Ji’s words did just that and wrote a reply back which Bhai Jeeva Singh Ji received within a week. In joy he went and informed his brother of this whole situation and that Baba Ji had fulfilled his wish. Now reading this letter Sahib Singh was very pleased as flickers of hope began to rise, but still he waited for this to come true. As timed passed after a year Bhai Sahib Singh’s second wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, leaving the whole family ecstatic and in celebration they gave charity by giving to the poor and gained their blessings. All of the family began to have great faith in the Hoti camp and many of the villagers who got to know of this episode also became devotees of Hoti. Bhai Sahib Singh Ji asked his brother to take them to Hoti for Baba Ji’s sweet vision and so that Baba Ji could name the child. When the child reached the age of forty days old, they made arrangements along with other devotees to go to Hoti. With devotion on reaching Hoti, they humbly paid their respects in Baba Ji’s presence, placing the dust from Baba Ji’s lotus feet onto their foreheads and gave a small amount of money as a gift. All knowing Baba Ji asked their well being and then made arrangements for them to stay for the night. The next day a full recital of Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj was kept and on the final day they sponsored a free kitchen. Baba Ji with their own hands placed a robe on the child and then kept the child’s name. The family spent their time at Hoti serving and attending the congregation twice a day listening to Baba Ji’s priceless words. Towards the end of their stay the whole family came up to Baba Ji. Baba Ji noticed that the older wife of Bhai Sahib Singh Ji was sad, but Baba Ji in compassion feeling her pain, thought to himself that one had been blessed but the others arms lay empty. Baba Ji showered her with a sweet blessing saying, “Go you shall also be blessed with a son.” With these tender words her withering heart blossomed and with she was forever indebted to her Saviour. They returned home and within another year the older wife also had a baby boy and the whole family were again overjoyed and forever became faithful devotees of Hoti. Dhan Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj. 174
Blessings on Ragi Ishar Singh Ji When Baba Ji had first returned from Ardh Kumbh Mela they had spoke to Ishar Singh Ji, (as pleased with him, Baba Ji had told the devotees to shower him with money when he performs the Singing of hymns). They asked him of his well being and then inquired on what he does with the money that the devotees give to him when he performs. He replied, “Maharaj to this day I have not saved anything, however much comes I spend it.” Baba Ji advised him saying, “All this money that you earned from this pilgrimage, give to Bhai Gopal Singh Ji Garri wale and he will buy you some land, so incase of something was to happen to you, your children and family will have something to survive on.” He obeyed Baba Ji’s words and gave the money to Bhai Gopal Singh who bought some land for him. A little time later Ragi Ishar Singh Ji passed away leaving behind his wife and small children who had none else to look after them. But due to Baba Ji’s blessing they had land to make a living from. At this time everyone had remembered Baba Ji’s advice and they discuss with each other, saying that, Baba Ji knowing the past present and future had already made arrangements for the survival of Ishar Singh’s children, and sung his praises. Thinking that if Baba Ji didn’t look out for Ragi Ishar Singh Ji all his money would have gone to waste and the family and children would have suffered. Dhan Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj Mahant Takhat Singh Ji and Sant Jevandh Singh Ji of Ferozpur Sant Jevandh Singh Ji had been blessed by Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj; he used to do perform hymns at a school in Ferozpur and was always deeply colored in the Lords love. He was a faithful beloved of Baba Ji’s and many a time he would also sing at the Hoti site with great love, intoxicating the devotees who listened and taking blessings from Baba Ji. During his singing he would also recite the stories of Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj and Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj, but for Mahant Takhat Singh Ji these stories meant little as he did not have much faith on the Hoti site as he had never met Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj or Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj. Mahant Takhat Singh Ji was also on the school committee and so always partook in these activities whole heartedly. On one occasion of the main celebrations Sant Jevandh Singh Ji managed to persuade Mahant Ji to accompany him to Hoti, eventually after some persuasion he agreed but stated that he would not bow down to Baba Ji, Sant Jevandh Singh Ji informed him saying that was his choice as Baba Ji never ever forced anyone to do so. But told him that he may not be able to resist himself, so whilst chatting they made their way to Hoti. On arrival the celebrations were under way with the congregation held out in the open near the river Kalpani. All the devotees, Hindus, Muslims and <strong>Sikh</strong>’s alike had gathered in great numbers, intoxicated in sweet spiritual bliss with the Guru’s hymns underway.
