Baba Ji. Baba Ji blessed them all and were served with sweet rice, curd and other dishes and also blessed them with robes of honour. Baba Ji then gave word saying that the Pataans that had kidnapped the children and their Preacher should be bought to Hoti. And so they were all bough forth in front of Baba Ji. They were all fed, and were given teachings of enlightenment, saying that if they wished their religion to grow, they should read namaz and keep rojas, speak the truth and always be afraid of Allah, and that then their prophet would favour them, while converting someone forcibly was a great sin. The Pataans then asked for their sins to be forgiven and later became the safeguards of their village. Meanwhile Baba Ji sat down both children on his laps and blessed them with his love. Baba Ji gave them great blessings and told them to do perform the Singing of Guru Ji’s hymns for the devotees, also advising the mother and the Uncle to send the children to Bheni Sahib in Panjab where Mata Jiwan Kaur would look after them like her own sons and would teach them the Gurus instructions and make them into great Scholar. So with Baba Ji’s blessing, they were taken to Bheni Sahib and they grew up to be great Ragi singers and scholars. Caretaker of the loved ones In the district of Amritsar there was a very well known area called Raja Sansi where Sant Jevandh Singh Ji, the Beloved Saint and disciple of Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj lived. Sant Jevandh Singh Ji had built a <strong>Sikh</strong> Temple in his fields, which was later one of his disciples a Bhai Jiwan Singh continued to serve and look after. At this site, there were also four or five disciples who stayed here serving food to anyone who came. Also from this village their was another devotee of Baba Ji’s by the name of Bhai Inder Singh Ji who always used to look after travelers who had traveled from great distances. Just as the Lord has created beautiful flowers with thorns and sandalwood trees along side the bamboo shrubs. In this same way there was a villager who lived near by and every morning would come and curse the disciples of Raja Sansi, complaining that they were always singing hymns in the early mornings which were disturbing his sleep. He would slander Guru Maharaj Ji and the disciples would always remain peaceful. This soon became an everyday occurrence. Now even though the water of Ganges is calm and pure, however when put onto a fire it boils and even when the cool sandalwood is rubbed, fire is created and so in this way, with this individual constantly disrespecting Guru Maharaj Ji, the disciples reached boiling point. On many occasions, Bhai Inder Singh tried to explain lovingly to this villager to stop this behavior but to no avail. One morning, he came again insulting and cursing and all the disciples tried to calmly stop him, but when Bhai Inder Singh Ji came towards him to talk, the villager picked up a stick to hit Bhai Inder Singh with. Bhai Inder Singh Ji grabbed the stick on one side and gently pushed the villager back at which moment the villager fell to the floor and instantly died. 184
All the people from the area gathered around as news spread and the police came and arrested Bhai Inder Singh Ji. He shocked and devastated by this all, instantly admitted his guilt of pushing the villager. But the rest of the villagers tried to persuade and pleaded with him to change his story to say that he didn’t do anything and that they would be his witnesses, still he refused to lie. This case went to court, continuing for many months and eventually went against Bhai Inder Singh resulting in him being found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging as his punishment. After his sentence was announced, he gave up everything and surrendered his destiny to Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. He focused on reading the Gurus scriptures and meditated on Guru Ji keeping his mind at Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj’s feet. So in this way he spent day and night imbued in the True Lords love and praying within his heart to Baba Ji saying, “Maharaj! You are the knower of all hearts, even though I am guilty and to blame, this sentence of death I do not deserve. I did not do anything deliberately, I just could not take the insults towards you and when I tried to stop him with a push, he fell to the floor and died. Now you are the only one that can help me. Please keep the honour of your servant.” Now time passed by until there were only a few days left before the hanging and that one morning he had a visit by Baba Isher Singh Ji (Virakat), who advised him that he should appeal for mercy and he would be given bail. The next very morning he filled the papers for an appeal of mercy and when the papers were sent to the higher authorities they rejected it saying that he could not be released. But as the Judge was trying to write this rejection onto the appeal papers, his pen just would not work. Bhai Inder Singh began to pray to Baba Ji from within and when the Judge tried to write his decision of hanging, the writing miraculously changed stating, ‘Freed’ instead! Now the English Judge was very wise and amazed at this occurrence, he asked Bhai Inder Singh “Honestly tell me at this moment in time, who are you remembering?” Bhai Inder Singh Ji replied “Sahib I am a servant of Hoti Mardan’s Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj and they have blessed me, but my guilt was not that of death.” This British Judge was so impressed that he freed Bhai Inder Singh Ji and himself became a devotee of Baba Ji Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj. Dhan Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj! Sant Jevandh Singh is given a last vision Towards the end of Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj’s life, Sant Jevandh Singh Ji had come to Hoti Mardan to attend a celebration and after which he had asked Baba Ji for leave. On this occasion Baba Ji with his own hands presented him with a robe of honour and Sant Jevandh Singh Ji requested saying, “Lord! Now when will I have your vision again?” It was at this time that Baba Ji informed him saying “Sant Ji consider this as your last vision of me. As the physical body does not always meet, but through the Lords name we are always together.” 185
