Saint Mangla Ram was born in
August 1858 (Shadani Sambat 150, Shukla Paksh 7, Savan 24, at morning 6’
O clock) in the house of Shri Bharoram at Hayat Pitafi. He came in the
service of Darbar in 1890. He began regularly to serve in Darbar. Due to
his utmost, selfless service and devotion, he surpassed all the followers
and succeeded to Shadani Gaddi. He became head of Shadani Darbar in 1909.
Mostly he prayed God in night when all the people were sleeping. He
possessed a great power. The words uttered by him hit like an arrow. He is
commonly known as :Sankat Mochan” (Trouble Shooter) Shadani
Saint. There are many examples he
helped his followers in the time of trouble.
Some viallagers of Chanar village came to Hayat Pitafi and settled there.
They used to come to Darbar for Katha and kirtan. There was a Pipal tree
on the way and from that direction they were pelted with stones by that
tree. They narrated this story to Saint Manglaram. Saint Manglaram took
water in his hand and threw the water in that direction from where stones
were being thrown and addressed the Ghosts loudly “ YOU ARE HEREBY
COMMANDED TO LEAVE THE TREE AND DO NOT TROUBLE THE DISCIPLINES OF DARBAR”.
From that day the Ghosts disappeared and no such incident was reported
there after.
In 1918, cholera disease broke out in whole of the Sindh province. The
panchayat of Hayat Pitafi approached Saint Manglaram and told him that in
every town and village 7 to 10 persons had died due to cholera disease.
Saint Manglaram gave directions that Dhuni of Saint Shadaram Saheb and
water of the well of the Darbar Saheb may be scattered on the boundaries
of Hayat Pitafi village. Till today, there has been no innocent of any
infectious disease, Ghosts or any dacoity.
In December 1932 ( Shadani Sambat 224, mangir 22, Kirshna Paksh 9 ) Saint
manglaram decided to leave for the heavenly abode. He asked all his
disciples and followers of Shadani Darbar, to obey the orders of Saint
Raja Ram Saheb. He placed coconut and five paisa before Saint Raja Ram. He
also handed over Gaddi (throne) of Shadani Darbar to him. Then Saint
Mangla Ram put one cotton sheet over his body and through meditation and
prayer he went to his Heavenly abode. He had won over everyone’s heart
through selfless services.
