Returning to Panjab Baba Ji eventually decided to return back to his beloved congregation of Hoti as their continued prayers and requests began to pull at Baba Ji. As people found out of Baba Ji’s return, the Saints, spiritual souls and congregation gathered to bid farewell presenting many special gifts. Baba Ji accepted these gifts as gifts from the great river Ganga itself, which on return were distributed to the spiritual souls of the Hoti Temple. Even today some of these sweet gifts give by the congregation of Haridwar are still worn by this spiritual linage. On return Baba Ji again went through Amritsar where they paused for short time, on the first day here news had gotten back to Hoti that Baba Ji was returning and was currently at Amritsar. The people of Hoti instantly made its way to Amritsar to escort Baba Ji back and with joy and love with hands folded they greeted Baba Ji and humbly asked for them to return back with them to Hoti saying, “Maharaj! You are the knower of all hearts, without your presence the people of Hoti are restless and lost, please come back with us as if you don’t return many more of the congregation from Hoti will make their way here, many more wished to come with us now, but we managed to stop them hoping that you would fulfill our humble request.” Baba Ji with love replied, “What you wish Bhai (brother)! The congregation is the Creator’s image itself and their request should not be refused.” On seeing Baba Ji preparing to leave, the people of Amritsar fell into sadness but obeying Baba Ji’s wishes they escorted them and their Hoti congregation to the train station. With tears in their eyes the sweet souls of Amritsar paid their respects to Baba Ji and he blessed them with sweet words to ease their distress, saying, “Beloved ones! You are blessed to be Singhs in The Great Guru Ram Das Ji Maharaj’s area, as in your previous lives you have done great deeds to be so fortunate to live at his feet. Each day you visit the Lords abode itself, so keeping respect you should continue to listen to the words of the Guru and attend the temple, Guru Maharaj Ji will always be all around and ever pervading.” With this Baba Ji said farewell to these sweet souls and continued on with their return journey via Panja Sahib. Before reaching here the people of the area had already found out of Baba Ji’s arrival and began to prepare, gathering with gifts of garlands of flowers and other items, waiting on the station platform. As the train stopped the people rejoiced that they were able to have the presence of this pure soul in front of their eyes. They took Baba Ji in a beautiful procession through the streets singing the Guru’s words all the way to the Panja Sahib shrine, where Baba Ji placed the dust of the earth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj’s land on his forehead and bathed in the pool. With a gift of sweetmeal Baba Ji went to pay his respects to Guru Maharaj Ji and placed the gifts in Maharaj’s feet then after saying a pray they went and sat in the congregation and listened to the singing of the Guru’s words. 101 rupees were also given towards the running of Guru’s free kitchen and Baba Ji was presented with a gift of a robe of honour and money, but they returned the money keeping only the honour as a gift from Guru Maharaj Ji after which, with the rest of the congregation they ate a meal from the free kitchen. 32
Vision to Sant Sukhdev Singh Ji A Nirmala Saint by the name of Sant Sukhdev Singh Gufa Wale found out of Baba Ji’s arrival, his camp was near by. With great respect and love he arrived with the devotees carrying a throne and humbly asked Baba Ji to bless him by putting their pure feet in his camp. Baba Ji accepting his request and was carried to his camp accompanied with the congregation where they all went into the Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj’s prescence. After bowing down to Guru Maharaj Ji, Baba Ji sat on the stage serving Guru Maharaj Ji. People had come gathered from all areas for Baba Ji’s presence. As the Guru’s words were sung the people sat attentively listening to Guru Ji’s instructions in the warmth of Guru Maharaj Ji’s feet. Sant Sukhdev Singh Ji had given instruction to the devotees that were in the free kitchen to prepare many different dishes such as fried Puri’s, with pulses, vegetable dishes and sweet rice. And with the final prayers of the day, Guru Ji’s words were read out, and meals were served to all. Baba Ji was very pleased with the service done by the Sant Sukhdev Singh Ji and his devotees. As he had served them all whole heartedly, word was still spreading of this gathering that even the Khan Sahib of this area came to pay their respects. The congregation that came presented many gifts to Baba Ji showing love and devotion and when the Khan Sahib came to visit, Baba Ji presented him with robe of honour. A Pataan by the name of Ajab Khan also came to pay his respect bowing down and placed a gift in Baba Ji’s feet. When he looked up at Baba Ji, he instantly recognized them as the same Saint who in the Delhi riots helped rescue people and looked after the wellbeing of the innocent as he had once worked along side him as a Soldier. This Pataan’s mother was from Kajjian, Baba Ji’s home village. Baba Ji also recognized him and knew he was a good honest soul and showed him affection and gave him a meal and gifts of almonds and sugar candy. By now the whole day had passed and so Baba Ji rested for the night. The next morning after waking up in the ambrosial early hours and meditating Baba Ji prepared to return to the Hoti camp. All the gifts and money give by the congregation Baba Ji gave to Sant Sukhdev Singh Ji and he, in return he gave gifts of 101 rupees and a cloth for the students of Hoti camp as well as giving gifts to the all the other great souls that had arrived. Baba Ji blessed the people and then asked for leave, the people gathered and carried Baba Ji in throne back to the train station and escorted them on to the train. With love they paid their respect but by now all the areas that the train was to pass through found out of their journey and at each stop people had gathered for a glimpse of Baba Ji’s pure vision with gifts and flowers. At Naushera station the people had decorated the whole station and on their arrival escorted Baba Ji in a throne to Naushera <strong>Sikh</strong> Temple where a program was in full sway. Baba Ji spent a night here before again setting off back to Hoti camp with his devotees. 33
