Sindh had a very rich tradition of Darbars
or Gurudwara and among the various darbars "Halani Darbar"
hold a significant and important place. It is still a
tradition that people are offering their children at young
age for serving saints and darbars.
This was in the 1890, when Shri Udhavdas Bhambhani of
Halani Sindh got a male child. During the pregnancy period
saints of Halani darbar predicted birth of male child and
asked mother, she used to be devotee of Halani Darbar, to
give the child for the service of Darbar. At the tender
age of five years kid Notan was sent to live with sant ji
in the Darbar, where beside serving he was also learning
Tabala and Harmonium [Indian Musical Instruments] .
This was grace of almighty that Notan, which now being
known as "Madhav" has a melodious voice and was most
impressive while signing gurbani [ Shabads From Sri Guru
Granth Sahib] . Saint Swaroopdas was guiding Madhav on the
spiritual path. on 27th July 1940 Swami Swaroopdas left
for the heavenly abode and Madhavdas become the Saint of
Halani Darbar.
Saint Madhavdas was with a merciful heart hence he always
look to care the poor and deprived class of society, even
for the poors a hospital was also established by him.
After the partiton Swami Madhavdas shifted to Ajmer,
Rajasthan and established Halani Darbar there. The place
become famous for the worship of God and service of poor.
Saint Madhavdas was with spiritual powers. It is said that
one devotee "Roopchand Mevani" went under the weakness of
legs and all the doctors were of the opinion that in
future he will not be able to walk. Family members brought
Roopchand to Ajmer and prayed for the blessings of saint
Madhavdas. The Merciful Santji handed over a wooden stick
to Roopchand, who was unable to even stand, and ask him to
walk with the support of stick. All were surprised to see
that after walking a few steps with the support Roopchand
started to walk without any support on his own.
Saint Madhavdas left the world for heavenly abode on 15th
August 1953 at Mumbai. |
