 In
1783 (Shadani Sambat 75, Bhado 26, Shukla paksh 9) Saint Takhat Lal was
born at Mathelo. At the age of 16 he became the 3rd Saint of Shadani
Darbar. He was hardly 7 years old when he was blessed by Saint Shadaram
Saheb that he would be available and present everywhere and whensoever he
desired.
After assuming Gaddi, His name became famous and people used to compare
him, with Raja Harishchandra, Raja Vikrmaditya and Danveer Karan. He also
ran a shop for his livelihood, At evening, he used to come to Darbar and
perform meditation and serve the hungry cows. One night, a Yatri (Pilgrim)
came at Shadani Darbar and knocked at the door. Saint Takhat Lal opened
the door and allowed him to come inside. He served him with meals, Yatri
(guest) went outside, he went to the bazzar-ground, where he found Saint
Takhat Lal singing in the praise of God in crowds. He was very surprised.
He again rushed to Shadani Darbar and knocked at the door. Again he found
Saint Takhat Lal talking with other disciples and he welcomed him to come
inside. Yatri found him at both places at the same time. He was very much
surprised as to how one man could remain present at different places which
were quite far off from one another.
In another instance, one Brahmanchari Sadhu who had came from Haridwar,
after visiting Shadani Darbar he told, the people about Saint Takhat Lal
that he had seen him taking bat at Holy Ganga river daily at Haridwar and
he was quite surprised to see him here. The other people in Darbar told
the Sadhu that Saint Takhat Lal had been there since4 he was only 3 years
old and he had never been to Haridwar. The Sadhu bowed before Saint Tkhat
Lal and became his follower.
In Feb 1839, Saint Takhat Lal proceeded to Amritsar where he went to
heavenly abode near coalser pond which is situated in Golden Temple
Amritsar. At present the same place is called as Sitalani Dera, Chowk Baba
Saheb, where Mahat Gurumukh Singh is living and serving.
