Some glimpses in the History of Darbar Sahib Halani are being shared here. More in depth History of Darbar Sahib is penned in its own publication “History”.
Halani Darbar Gaddi is the bastion of Karmayogis. This is not a Gaddi just made of brick and mortar but is priceless and valuable and is only comparable to Vaikunth.
Sindh Halani Darbar had 4 Gaddis, the first Gaddi continues till today because of the dedication and penance and miracle of Saints. Sai says that this miracle filled Gaddi has been blessed with Riddhi-Siddhi.
During the time of Baba Kishandas Sahib, the construction work of Darbar Sahib was carried out under the guidance of Baba Meherbaksh Sahib. The payment due to the workers used to come from Sakhar, Sindh. Once when the money did not come on time – Baba Meherbaksh Sahib went to Baba Kishindas Sahib and asked for the money. Baba Kishindas Sahib said that he did not have the money. Baba Meherbaksh Sahib said that please do whatever is necessary as the workers were on a dharna(strike). To that Baba Kishindas Sahib said whatever you require take it from under my Gaddi and once the payment comes keep it back. When the Gaddi was opened to his astonishment there was not just money in cash – but there was gold, silver and diamonds. Baba Kishindas Sahib was the beholder of the blessings of Riddhi-Siddhi. These saints have not only exerted themselves doing seva but have motivated the devotees to do seva too. This has uplifted the life of devotees and negated their bad karmas, to make their present birth worthwhile. When devotees come to this wondrous Gaddi with immense unshakable faith they never return empty handed and their desires too are fulfilled.
Sai Sadhuram Sahib being a true Satguru always pays homage to this Gaddi, without taking any credit to himself.
We pray that Halani Darbar should always flourish till eternity.
