This was the
era when Sahib Sri Guru Raam Daas Ji was been
seated on the Guru throne. His personal residence
was at "Choona Mandi" the interior Lahore, even
though he has migrated to "Goondwaal Sahib" in
Amritsar. Throughout his life, Guru Ji used to
congress three days at his Lahore residence; where
literal and linguistic personnel, from all walks
of life, religions and ethics, were used to
participate in various thematic dialogues. Mian
Mir also played role in these congressions. Here,
meeting with other spiritualist and clerics also
organized. Guru Ji sent his Son Guru Arjan Dev Ji
Maharaj to Lahore for some reason. He also took
part in conventions. These conventions and
congregations set root cause for the ever sturdy
acquaintance of Hazrat Mian Mir and Sahib Sri Guru
Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj, which spanned over their
lives. Often, Sahib Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji used to
inhabit at Mian Mir's residence.
Hazrat Mian
Mir had intimate rapport with Guru Family. The
friendship with Guru Family was benevolence based,
well-built, and discrimination free. Sahib Sri
Guru Arjan Dev Ji adored substantially to Mian Mir
Sahib. Although extravagant constructions readily
existed by then, but none of them was ranked
nucleus.
For the purpose to form a hub Sahib Sri Guru
Ram Daas Ji Maharaj choose Amritsar the center of
Punjab and purchased ample of land to build a town
named Raam Daas Pur. He built numerous civic
centers in his surveillance. Right in the center
of the town projected and announced to construct
magnificent place of worship. Proposed to name
this place of worship "Hari Mandar" and started
building its surrounding structures. Yet working
was on with the celestial pool as political
situations worsened. Emperor Jalal Ud Din, Akbar,
efforts of religious pell-mell abolished the
project. In
this era, emperor was endeavoring to craft a new
religion "Deen e Elahi", to eradicate fundamental
differences and religious identification. An
intellect evil minded courtier Abul Fazal was not
merely the architect of this religion but also was
the disseminator and supervisor for its
implementation. He also advised Akbar to issue an
ordinance to ban constructing mosques, Mandars,
etc instead started sketching Akbar Khanas
(worship places in Deen e Elahi), and Langar
Khanas. For this reason as one entered the court,
Akbar ordered to touch ground with forehead in
adoration in front of him. Muslim mystics and
Muslim & Hindu Military chiefs dissented this
new born, and the implementation seem hard to be
projected that Jahangir betrayal destroyed his
entire venture.
Hazrat Mian
Mir Sahib Ji was the Closest friend of great Sahib
Sri Guru Ramdas Ji Maharaj and Sahib Sri Guru
Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj, and Sahib Sri Guru Hargobind
Ji Maharaj, also was "Mystic" of Her holiness Mata
Kola Sahib Ji.
Sai Hazrat Mian Mir Sahib Ji was meant a lot
and highly regarded by Sahib Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji
Maharaj, because when Guru Ji decided to build Sri
Harmander Sahib,
The honor was rewarded to his holiness Sai
Hazrat Mian Mir Sahib Ji to lay down the
foundation stone of Sri Harmander Sahib.
By the time
the foundation stone was being laid down a great
event had come about. The mason slightly misplaced
the stone that Sai Hazrat Mian Mir Sahib Ji
positioned earlier. His holiness Guru Arjan Dev Ji
Maharaj rushed to the mason and said loudly, "why
did you do that. Now, Harmander Sahib will remain
quaking ever after on its bases."
The history tells us from Ahmed Shah Abdali up
till 1984, the sayings of Sahib Sri Guru Arjan Dev
Ji Maharaj have proven truly. Guru Ji's
anticipation of the pleasure on the occasion can
be judged well with the fact that he presented his
inherited and sacred "SIMARNA Sahib" to Sai Mian
Mir Sahib Ji.
Afterwards while addressing to the "SANGAT"
Guru Ji emphasized every one to offer "NAZRANA" to
Sai Ji. Her Holiness Mata Ganga Ji was also among
audience on the occasion. She presented her
extremely valuable "MALA Sahib" to Sai Ji. Baba
Buddha Ji presented his "Sacred KHOONDA" in this
proceeding. Other noble Singh and Singhnian also
gave "NAZRANA" to Sai Ji whatever they were
capable of.
By the time,
when Chief Minister of Punjab Dewan Chandoo
detained Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Lal Haveli, one day
he called on all his cabinet and bureaucracy, and
invited numerous people to observe an event in
order to intimidate them from a terrifying
happening. People sighted him and all proceeding
with curiousness to affirm what is set to be
occurred. Chandoo asked his corps to set fire,
place hot plate onto it and bring forward the
criminal. When plate turned hot reddish they
brought Guru Ji ahead. He ordered them to mount
him up on the hot plate and assault his head with
extremely warm sand.
By that time Hazrat Mian Mir Sahib Ji was
seated in his Sangat a person hurried in and
reported the entire scenario covering the
atrocious behavior being conducted in the lawn of
Lal Haveli. Sai Ji did not miss a second and
rushed on to the Lal Haveli with entire Sangat.
Directly
after he arrived, Sai Ji sternly asked Chandoo for
all the proceeding and said "O! Dreadful Chandoo,
I would never forfeit you for all this. Remember
my words your descendants would never last in
upcoming times.
Then he focused towards Guru Ji and said "O my
friend! I cannot see you in this condition,
signify me and I will crush Lahore and Delhi.
Chandoo misplaced Guru Ji from that place very
next day he announced the death of great Guru
Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj, with a fake story that last
night Guru Ji called on guards that I am feeling
anxiety so I want to take bath. They took him over
to the shore of river Ravi, later on Guru Ji
dipped into the water and never arose again. When
Sai Mian Mir Sahib Ji heard that story, became out
raged and extremely shocked. Replied shouting,
"no! I can't believe it, because barely two
individuals in Hindustan can spend night long time
in one breath, me and Arjan" The one who loses his
breath can only sink. Factually, dreadful Chandoo
had killed him and hidden the corpse to cover the
assassination".
Further more,
Sahib Sri Guru Hargobind Ji Maharaj became sixth
Guru after taking over the Guru order and same day
he visited Sai Hazrat Mian Mir Sahib Ji at Lahore
because he knew that Sai Ji's relationship with
the Guru family are highly significant.
When Sahib Sri Guru Hargobind Ji Maharaj
arrived to meet Sai Ji, he was sitting in his
Sangat. Sai Ji marched forward to welcome Guru Ji.
Guru Ji intended to descend down from the horse
but Sai Ji stopped him to do so. Guru Ji
surprised. Sai Ji extended forward his hands to
descend Guru Hargobind Ji Maharaj this way he
imparted the lesson to the world that "only a true
saint can perfectly honor the other saint." Guru
Ji stayed three nights at Sai Ji's residence.
After few days, Sai Ji arrived Delhi on
Jahangir's invitation. He sat down on the lawn of
Lal Qilaa, asked servants to inform Jahangir that
Mian Mir Sahib Ji came from Lahore and looking
forward for the emperor in the lawn. When the
emperor came to know ran out without shoes and
stood toll in salutation in front of Sai Ji. Mian
Mir Sahib Ji firmly asked that why would have the
assassination of Guru Arjan Dev occurred in your
regime. Jahangir affirmed his stance that he had
never been indulged in the decision making
process, had no knowledge whatsoever and sworn to
insure complete justice in the prosecution. Mian
Mir Sahib Ji Sahib informed Jahangir with
comprehensive reality. After hearing the strong
arguments from Sai Mian Mir Sahib Ji Jahangir
sentenced death penalty to Chandoo.
Sai Mian Mir Sahib Ji asked Jahangir "hand
terrible Chandoo! over to me, I want descendants
of Guru Ji to cease him on there own disposal".
Jahangir drafted imperial ordinance accordingly.
Under this
ordinance Sikhs held Chandoo nosily and stretched
him throughout the city with the rope in his neck,
this way Chandoo reached to his doom. The ways
Chandoo was used to pass with subdued pride,
riding on the elephants, killed with ample of
harassment and humiliation, his corpse offered to
dogs into pieces and to take complete avenge.
Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji like Guru Arjan Dev
Sahib Ji also felt affectionate to Sai Hazrat Mian
Mir Sahib Ji and used to meet up frequently.
Once when Sahib Sri Guru Hargobind Ji Maharaj
was imprisoned (about 2 months 10 days) at Qilaa E
Gawaliyar, the jailor was an atrocious person. He
tried to offer Guru Ji a poisonous meal, every
time Guru Ji refused to consume pre-assessing with
supernatural powers. There was a "Bawli" (a small
well) where Guru Ji was used to go over, to drink
water and back to his jail cell to make regular
meditation practice to remain in touch with
almighty "AKAAL PORKH" (((as all Satgur Padshah
and Sai Mian Mir Sahib Ji as well, were supposed
mandatory to practice meditation))). Human body
has its own liabilities and requirements, for
instance, food is the significant factor to
sustain life and survive but Guru Ji had fasted
for nearly 2 months and 10 days and became
tremendously weak and sick.
When Sai Mian Mir Sahib Ji got to know Guru
Ji's intricacies at Qilaa E Gawaliyar, he arrived
at to Qilaa in order to set him free. After taking
him along, galloped ahead to Lahore at his
residence, where Guru Ji stayed 22 days long. Both
saints spent a night at "Amritsar", where Sikh
Sangat has established a huge ceremony to
celebrate the delight of liberation. The entire
city was glowing with the light works.
Qazi Hashim khan (justice) was one of the
disciples and neighbor of Sai Ji had a young
daughter "KOLA". She already had been assigned
voluntarily to prepare meal for Sai Ji and
appointed especially to serve Guru Ji at the
residence of Sai Mian Mir Sahib Ji. Sai Ji had
chosen her specifically to look after Guru Ji as
well. She served Guru Ji for 22 days and nights.
Ultimately Guru Ji left Lahore, by that time she
was not on the spot. As she knew he departed,
screamed and unconsciously fallen down.
Sai Ji was reported in a Sangat, immediately he
came back home, brought her consciousness back and
in a spur of the moment understood that she had
been profoundly fallen in love with Guru Sahib Ji.
The condition lasted 2-3 days. Every time she
called Guru Ji and went unconscious. Sai Ji asked
his followers to take her to Guru Ji along with a
letter from Sai Ji.
Sai Ji's followers carried her in a "PALKI" to
Guru Ji Sahib and when Guru Ji was in "KIRATPUR
Sahib". He asked them for what they are here. They
presented the letter to Guru Ji. While reading he
smiled a bit, galloped to the "PALKI", and
addressed: "BIBI what can I do for you". She
replied boldly: "I seek a son from you". Guru Ji
bowed down, touched her knees and said: "I am your
SON you are my MATA Ji" can you discover another
one like me".
Few days latter, she told Guru Ji I have some
ornaments that I intend to present you in order to
spend for a good cause. Guru Ji build a "SROBER"
named "COLSER Sahib" utilizing her ornaments. Guru
Ji gave her "VACHAN" who ever would have to
Ashnaan "Harmander Sahib" must make "Ashnaan" at
"COLSER" priorly otherwise Ashnaan would remain
incomplete. |
