Monday 5th December 1904 is a historic day as on this day
a God intoxicated soul was born at the village Halani
Bhalani of Nawabshah district as the third son of
Rizankabai and Saburam Bhagwani. The formal education of
this boy Hardasram was started in the year 1910.He was in
the standard forth when he promised his teacher that he
will never complain about any body or any thing and will
remain satisfied with what he will get. In the year 1921
Hardasram Sahib passed the exam of Matriculation and after
completing Junior Primary Teacher Course in 1923 joined
the Government service as the school teacher. During the
vacation [sometime between 1924 - 1930]Shri Hardasram
Sahib were on the pilgrimage of Vasan Ghot Darbar Rohari,
Where he saw Bhagat Kanwar Ram Sahib First time and at
that very moment felt that Bhagat Sahib were the spiritual
guide for whom Hardasram Sahib were looking. Sai Hardasram
become disciple of Bhagat Sahib and started visiting
various places with the group of Bhagat Sahib.
Life principles of Sai Hardasram Sahib were, speak truth
and only truth, always be ready to do good deeds and work
for betterment of others. Since the school days he was
loving and feeding animals and birds specially dogs. He
used to share some of his daily food with dogs, with the
growing age he learn to serve deprived blind and elderly
persons of the society. Sai Hardasram Sahib were believers
that we are travelers on the earth so we must not think of
comforts but must think only achieving our aim of
spiritual freedom. He was used to carry on his shoulder a
Godadi [Bed] which made him famous as Godadi Waro Saint.
He was used to pronounce "Satnam Sahai Kami Na Kai" and
bless devotee with Tungur Paiso [old Indian currency 64
paisa equal to one rupee]. The spiritual and miracle
powers of Sai Hardasram Sahib are reflecting from the
daily Garlanding at the Samadhi of Bhagat Kanwar Ram Sahib
at Raharki, Which was constructed near the Samadhi of Sai
Satram Das Sahib.
After the partition all other three brothers of Sai
Hardasram migrated to India but he opted to live in Sindh
though in 1949 he visited India on traveler visa but it
was in 1953, when Sai Pesuram [son of Bhagat Kanwar ram]
visited Pakistan and brought Sai Hardasram and Sai
Govindram permanently to India. Sai Hardasram was feeling
uncomfortable at Amravati, he also spent some time at
Ahmednagar with younger brother Pribhdas but finally
settled at Jalgaon. He established Sant Kanwar Ram Seva
Mandal trust at Jalgaon, to help and serve elderly person
and woman.
Once some devotee ask Sai about the marriage and Sai
smilingly replied that he had two wife one Guru Bhakati,
living in the heart and another is wealth serving the
needy people. Sai Hardasram Sahib always asking to
devotees to share their earnings with the trust. Though he
was against the use of spiritual powers in day to day life
but he made a well at Jalgaon full of water previously the
well was to give only 8-10 buckets of water but since the
day Sai added a tumbler of water to the water of well it
become unlimited water source for the city.On 18th October
1977 Sai Hardasram Sahib left us for heavenly abode. His
physical appearance disappears but his works are
continued. Devotees from all over the world are gathering
every year at Jalgaon for the annual Varsi Utsav of Sai
and worshiping Godadiwaro Ghansham Sai Hardaram Sahib. |
