Pujniya Mata Saheb Hassi
Devi was born in 1826 ( Shadani Sambat 118, Akhar 25, Shukla Paksh 8)
At morning 10 A.M at Khanpur Mahar, Sindh (Pakistan). She was married to
Saint Tansukhram Saheb in 1846. She became head of Shadani Darbar in 1852.
She was very quite pure and pious lady. She performed all prayers and
services to all the persons who visited Shadani Darbar.
Mata Sahib served all
the guests and followers who whenever came in Darbar. She cooked food for
all the guests with her own hands even in the days of Saint Tansukh Ram
Saheb and after assuming the Shadani Gaddi, She , as usual, performed all
the services of Bhandr (Kitchen) with her own hands. In the days of
dearth, she used to go to the lands and picked up wheat grains and fed the
guests.
Her services to guests and Bhagti made Mata Saheb a great Shaktiwan Saint.
Her words never went void. Apparently she was a woman but possessed the
courage and qualities more than the men. No one could have courage to
discuss with her. Besides, she was more merciful to her followers.
Once famine broke out in Sindh. She prayed to God for mercy and put the
bag of wheat in one iron vessel. She used to take out wheat continuously
for six months from that small vessel and fed whole of the village. With
the grace of Saint Shadaram, the small vessel never went empty. Every
villager was happy and nobody remained hungry due to famine.
In 1856 the construction of Darbar Saheb was in progress at Hayat Pitafi
Mr. Brown, the collector of District Shikarpur, visited Hayat Pitafi on
inspection. He saw bricks, mud and other building material in the street
near Darbar Saheb. He objected and ordered for the removal of the same.
The followers of Darbar informed Mata Saheb about the anger of collector
Mr. Brown. Mata Saheb said to the followers “ COLLECTOR BROWN HAS NO
SHAME TO HIDE HIS NOSE, HE IS A SHAMELESS PERSON. WHY DIDN’T HE THINK
THAT THE WORK OF DARBAR WAS IN PROGRESS AND THAT’S WHY IT WAS LYING”
On the very day, as the collector Mr. Brown was riding a horse for back
journey to Shikarpur, all of sudden, he fell down on the ground and his
nose was seriously wounded.The holy words of Mata Saheb came true. All
staff members of Collector, told Mr. Brown came to Darbar Saheb and
apologiesed and bowed his head before Mata Saheb for pardon. Mata Saheb
paradoned him and blesses him for early recovery because the Saints are
always merciful.
On 13th April 1880, Mata Saheb visited Holy Haridwar and took bath in
Sacred Ganga. She offered prayers and Holy rites.
Manglaram was serving in the Shadani Darbar, Mata Saheb became very much
pleased with the services of Mangalam. On 30th April 1909 (Shadani Sambat
201, Baisakh 12, Krishna Paksh 10) She handed over Gaddi (throne) to Saint
manglaram and on the same date she went to heavenly abode.
