PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

families return on the auspicious day with your friends and family and Guru Ji will be
compassionate on you, as everything will be taken care of by the Hoti camp (Dera)
and all you have to do is be present.”
After these words Baba Ji gave permission for all to leave as it was time for Baba ji to
return back to their hut, all left with gifts of food and Indian sweets congratulated the
families, whilst Baba Ji returned back to the hut. As instructed on the night of the full
moon everyone arrived and Baba Ji himself welcomed the groom’s family and the
disciples of the camp served food to all, and provided them with rooms to rest in. The
program continued throughout the night until the early morning when the marriage
ceremony (Anand Karaj) was completed in Guru Maharaj’s presences. Baba Ji not
only blessed the couple but the congregation too, of whom many were non-baptised
Sikhs but after having Baba Ji’s beautiful vision, they all became devotees of Dhan
Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj’s house. Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj!
Blessing on Abdul Gufar Khan
Abdul Gufar Khan was from a village called Shabas Garh, which was on the main dirt
road which people would travel on from Delhi to Peshwar and Kabul. It was this area
which was known to be the main gate entrance from Hindustan into Panjab and so
also became a main stopping for Bandits when traveling through, in turn pillaging the
local areas.
In the past when Bandits robbed and pillaged the people of this area they would first
stop in this village to rest. At that time all that could be heard when the Bandits passed
through were the noises of galloping horses and on their way back through, were
screams and cries of those who had been kidnapped. The area was on one side
surrounded by a crescent of mountain ridges which made a beautiful scene but at the
same time a perfect location for Dacoits and Bandits.
Now in the area Abdul Khan was a very frightening Pataan who had gathered great
treasures and riches through indescribable ways and was known and feared by all. Dr
Diwan Singh was a great devotee of Baba Ji and many a time he would do programs
at the temples of Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji, Bhai Hira Singh Ji and Sant Bhag Singh Ji
as well as places of many other Saints. Doctor Ji was also a friend of the Khan Sahib
of Hoti (Khavaja Mohammed Khan) and both of them well aware of the infamous
Pataan, Abdul Gufar Khan.
Once Abdul Khans evil eyes fell onto another Pataans wife (and as Guru Ji states that
lust is always attached to beauty). Abdul Khan not wishing to control his thoughts and
desires his intentions grew stronger and stronger until finally he decided to bring her
into his own grasp by way of Black Magic. He tried everything possible to get her but
nothing seemed to be working, he became so obsessed with her that 24 hours a day he
was thinking and lusting over of her, even though he had four wives of his own with 8
children.
