VILLA OF SANT BABA RAM SINGH JI (CARETAKER OF THE PALACE)
It's 1700 hrs now, I am sitting down in the holy dust of sangat in the bus. After watching the majestic and splendid palace of the lord it was time to take a glimpse of actual caretaker of lord's palace. To have a glimpse at the wonderful painting of Baba Mahaharnam singh ji we had to go to Bathinda at Sant Baba Ram Singh Ji's villa. It was huge and enormous, a trial of richness and dignity of those who have been blessed by the lord.
Running on the floor fried with the sun, through the garden and then varranda we climbed stairs and reached a room. The room which had the rare painting. The whole sangat was eagerly yearning to have a glimpse, I was one of them, slowly, slowly moving an inch at a time I reached the front row from where i could gaze at the incarnated master. In the painting Baba Mahaharnam singh ji in a royal attire
were standing with three Sikhs who seemed to be the king's attendants. His white turban and white beard were surrounding a face that was as bright as thousand suns together. Through the gray windows I could see a vast era of trees, plants and leaves. As if, whole nature painted in green was surrounding the place. It was magnificent. If I am correct, Baba ji was wearing an orange kurta type thing with a white pajami. And then their were few attendants eagerly waiting for a hukam (order) to be followed the moment it comes out of the holy lips of His Highness.
After that we went for another place at maluka, it also belonged to Sant Baba Ram Singh ji. It had another painting of Baba Mahaharnam singh ji and i was blessed with the glimpse again. Here he was in humble attire but the face was as dignified and royal as it was earlier. I could not look at such a bright face for long so I rather concentrated on his feet.
BHAI ROOP CHAND S/O BHAI SADHU
After maluka we went to Gurudwara Jand Sahib. There is a historical event associated with this gurudwara. It is said that two sikhs Bhai Roop Chand ,Bhai Sadhu (father of Bhai Roop Chand) were carpenters and went to fetch some wood in forest. They felt thirsty while working and took out their leather bag in which they had stored the water. The water was cold and they realized that this cold water deserved to be drunk first by Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji. So they just sat down and started waiting for Guru Hargobind Sahib, they were firm in their belief that Guru Ji will listen to their prayers and will come and drink the water. They were thirsty , but the thirst of guru was winning over the physical thirst for water. After some span of time they felt dizzy and hence were lying there unconscious.
Guru Hargobind Sahib ji was around 50kms away from that place having a session with the sangat. The Guru being omniscient, under the bound of love for his sikhs he took the horse and came to the place where Bhai Roop Chand and Bhai Sadhu were lying. He tied his horse to a tree, drank the water himselfand also gave it to both of his beloved sikhs. Thus this place marks the true love between guru and his disciples, I was far away from my old world where love was synonymous to relation between a boy and a girl. I wonder how many of them claim about being truly in love and how many of them really are. To know more visit this website.
We visited this gurudwara and had a chance to touch and bow in front of the lucky tree, drank the same water at jand sahib, visited Bhai Ke Smadh (Smadh of Bhai Roop Chand and Bhai Sadhu) and then came back home.
I was tired but happy, both of my friends too completed the yatra with their surti, thanks to the technology of today.
