 One night the
Sarpanch got a dream and was told by Bhagwan
Shiva that He had already taken birth in the
name of Shadaram in Lohana Khatri Family, at
Lahore Punjab and would come to Mathelo for
their salvation and satisfaction.
Saint Shadaram
Saheb took birth in Lohana Khatri family
ascending to the dynasty of Raja Lav in
Lahore in October 1708. Lahore state is
established by Maharaj Lav, who is elder son
of Bhagwan Shri Ram. Lahore city was
established by Maharaj Lav, who is elder son
of Bhagwan Shri Ram. Lahore city was
established on the bank of Ravi river. At
that time Lahore state’s boundaries were
spread from Ujbekistan and Afghanistan to
the Hindu Kush Parvat.
Saint Shadaram
Ji Maharaj was commonly known as the
reincarnation of Bhagwan Shiva. In his
childhood, he used to devote most of his
time in meditation and had shown many
miraculous performances.
After the age of
twenty, Saint Shadaram left for Tirath Yatra
and for the spiritual welfare of the people.
He visisted Pushkar Raj Tirath, Panipat,
Kurukshetra, Haridwar, Janotri, Ganotri,
Kedarnath, Badrinath, Shri Pashupatinath
Mandir in Nepal, Kashi, Ayodhiya, Allahabad,
Duwarkanath, Jaipur and thousands of small
and large villages and towns on the way,
after completeing the Yatra mission,
consisting of about a period of 40 years.
In 1768 Saint
Shadaram reached Mathelo, a great city of
Sindh. Mathelo was once the capital of Sindh
during the region of Raja Nand. In those
days, river Indus Passed very vlose to
Mathelo hence the business had reached its
high peak. The famous love stiory of Mumal –
Rano realtes to this city. The historical
battle between Dodo and Chanesar, the Soomra
kings was faught at his place. The sacred
river Sarswati disappeared in the desert
near Mathelo. The four Vedas were written
near Mathelo on the bank of river Sarswati.
All these things, historical or religious

region.
In Mathelo,
Saint Shada Ram Sahib kindled the “Dhuni
Sahib” and maintained a daily routine of
Satsang. A great number of people, belonging
to Mathelo and its surroundings used to
attend the daily Satsang. Bhai Tulsidas, a
great business man of Mathelo was so
impressed that he made Saint Shada Ram Sahib
his spritual Guide (Guru) and began to
render his full day in Shewa (Service) in
Shadani Darbar Mathelo.
One day Saint
Shadaram became very much pleased with his
services. He asked him to demand any thing
he wished. Bhai Tulsi was perplexed as
whether he should demand for a son or
salvation from the bondage of birth and
death.
Saint Shadaram

much pleased to bestow him three (Vardans)
blessings:
1. He told him
that he would be blessed with a son and to
name him Takhatlal,
2. He touched him and englightened his inner
soul,
3. He told him to occupy the Shadani Gaddi
for the welfare of human beings who are poor
helpless, needy and down trodden.

settled in Hayat Pitafi and laid foundation
of Shadani Darbar and got dug one well and
started “Dhuni Saheb” (Holy fire). He gave
blessings that any body who would use dust
of Holy Fire and drink water from that will
be free from diseases and other misfortunes.
