PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

The devotees of Mache with folded hands requested saying, “Maharaj! The dwellers
of this village have great difficulty with water, please bless us with the most essential
thing for survival, as the water here is very bad and we have to travel a great distance
to get fresh water.”
Baba Ji showed compassion on all and feeling their pain and desperation he smashed
down into the earth with his spear that he was holding and in that instant water began
to bubble out of the earth which grew into a fountain and then said, “O beloved
congregation! This is a blessing and gift from the Creator as who ever bathes in this
water, their diseases will be destroyed and for those who can’t come here, if this
sweet water is taken to them and drank all their pains will cease to be.”
After this occasion the people of this area would gather every year at this very spot
where the water still flows to this day. Whether, Hindus, Muslims or Sikhs all
gathered here together. As after the partition of India this area fell into current
Pakistan and yet still today the Muslim of the area have great respect for this spot and
those who go there even today with faith in their hearts, their wishes are fulfilled and
their diseases are destroyed. In this way with this beautiful blessing given to this
village, Baba Ji returned back to Hoti.
Bhai Chand Lal saved from Bandits
Bhai Chand Lal was another beloved devotee of Baba Ji’s also a faithful Sikh of Guru
Maharaj Ji. From the Sandhu Nagar he would come to Hoti to do selfless service and
listen to Baba Ji’s priceless advice, when he would do his daily job he would always
think of Baba Ji being around him. His job was that of a small self employed
businessman who would go around and by goods and then return to the village and
sell it to the villagers.
On one occasion with a large quantity of money he went to purchase goods by
himself. Now whilst passing by a densely forested area he found himself surrounded
by bandits, they told him that if he wanted to live he should hand over everything he
possessed or else they would kill him. Looking around at these fully armed men he
began to tremble with fear and as we all do, his mind ran into the feet of his protector,
which for him was Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj. Knowing Baba Ji to be always with
him he called upon him within his heart and thought to himself, “Maharaj! Protector,
look out for my honour as you are my only saviour.”
Panna 677: At home, and outside, I place my trust in You; You are always with Your
humble servant.
With your blessing a child with in the womb of his mother will be protected from the
burning heat of the womb.
Panna 962: Where You are, Almighty Lord, there is no one else.
There, in the fire of the mother's womb, You protected us.
“O Lord! Please protect me from these thieves.” With this prayer, all of a sudden a
Sikh Soldier on horseback came riding from no where, armed with a spear in his
hand. Chand Lal felt an overwhelming emotion of relief on seeing this Soldier and
