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.
