In the Sindhi Village Rahadki has a
specific importance as this is the birth place of Saint
Khotaram, Father of Saint Satramdas. The famous musician
and spiritual master saint Jadaram was the guide of Saint
Khotram on the roads of spirituality. In fact the Bhagat "Heavenlyl
Music, Singing and dance " was started by Saint Khotaram.
Once he was making keertan at "Pitafin" darbar, saint
Tansukhlal head of the Darbar, presented "Ghunghroo" to
saint Khotaram and Dance was become part of his keertan
from the day.
Soon the melodious voice and devotional dance made Sant
Khotaram famous through out the Sindh and he started
traveling from place to place, devotee were offering
various things to him but whatever he was getting during
the keertan , he used to distribute it among the needy and
poor people for the livelihood of self and family he was
depending upon his shop at Jarvaran village.
Once he went to Rajanpur village where a strong follower
of Islam has banned the Bhajan Keertan by the Hindus.
saint Khotaram didn't care about it and started his
keertan this made the so angry to that person that he
brought a stick and broke the leather covering of tabala
of Saint, all those who were present were preparing to
fight with that fellow but saint Khotaram stopped them by
saying "Don't fight with him, this dispute is between him
and his Khuda so Khuda himself will take care of it." It
is said that the person as he went to home started feeling
pain and was complaining that some one is beating his
stomach with sticks. The family came to Santji who was
still doing the keertan and ask for mercy. Sant Khotaram
replied don't ask me pray your Khuda because he had tried
to prevent us from worshiping Khuda. The family prayed to
Khuda and suffering person came to normalcy of the health,
since that day Saint Khotaram become spiritual master of
Muslims also.
After the death of Saint Khotaram, his son established a
Darbar which at present being cared by Saint Sadhram
Sahib. |
