PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

all gathered at Hoti, listening to the Lords praises been sung. These fortunate souls at
Hoti sat with minds imbued at the Lords feet.
Panna 742: The city of heaven is where the Saints dwell.
Panna 1208: One who enjoys peace in the Company of the Holy, even for an instant,
obtains millions of heavenly paradises. ||1||Pause||
At that moment with great affection families from the great linage of Gani Khan and
Nabi Khan who were blessed souls from the Tenth Guru, Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji
Maharaj at Machivale jungle, had come for Baba Ji’s blessings. These two soul were
the fortunate souls, who when Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj was surrounded
by enemies, carried Guru Maharaj Ji on a throne as a Muslim Saint out of the grasps
of the evil enemy to safety. Guru Maharaj Ji blessed them both and with their own
pure hands and wrote them a beautiful letter thanking them.
These families came to where Baba Ji was sitting out near his hut and paid their
respects and gave Baba Ji the opportunity to see that same sweet hand written letter
(Hukumnama). Baba Ji taking the letter into his hands bowed in reverence to it and
touched it to his eyes and whilst holding it in his lap he went in to a deep state with
tears of pure love rolling down from his eyes. After sometime he opened his pearly
eyes and revealed the state he was in saying in a loud voice, “Dhan Sri Guru Gobind
Singh Sahib Ji, the King of the Khalsa! You sacrificed everything for us ungrateful
people, lived through difficulty and sacrifices. Great are Gani Khan and Nabi Khan,
who carried the King of the Khalsa Army on a throne to safety whilst surrounded by
enemies.”
Baba Ji continued by saying to the families, “You are very fortunate and I am very
grateful for this opportunity to be able to see and hold my Satguru Ji’s handwritten
letter. Thank you for coming, now go and read it to the congregation and give them
the same opportunity.”
Obeying Baba Ji’s words the congregation was given the chance to see and read the
contents of this letter. Baba Ji gave instructions to Sant Aaya Singh Ji to present these
families of Gani Khan Ji and Nabi Khan Ji with 101 rupees with a gift of a large
amount of fruit and a very precious robe, the congregation of Hoti also showed its
gratitude by giving money to the family.
Meanwhile wondering on the banks of the Kalpani surrounded by the Creators natural
beauty and splendor, Baba Ji went into a deep state. After sometime they began to
laugh thinking to themselves that at one time the Muslim Mogul Armies had
surrounded Dhan Guru Gobind Sahib Ji Maharaj forcing him to move to the land of
Malwa, but now those very same Muslim Pathaans come to see me, a Saint who
belongs Tenth Guru, serving and greeting me.
