'Shah Satnam Ji Prem Pura Dham', Mehanda Garhi, Hansi, Hisar, Haryana

Shah Satnam Ji Prem Pura Dham

This Ashram is located at 127 km to the west of Sirsa, on Sirsa-Hisar-Rohtak-Delhi National highway, Dist. Hisar. In 1982, while coming back from Dera Sacha Sauda Ashram [U.P.] to Sirsa, after conducting a satsang [Spiritual discourse] there, Beparwah ji asked to stop all the associated members for a while and made this place holy by visiting there in person and dropped a bottle of water there. Some of the satsangis [devotees], inhabitants of Garhi village were not able to attend regular satsangs due to the poor economic condition, but they had great yearning for Divine glimpse. As per the holy precepts, they started naamcharcha [spiritual gathering] in their village and whenever ParamPitaji would visit in U.P. Ashram, all of the devotees had a chance to have the darshan [Divine glimpse] in Garhi. In 1995, Beparwah ji asked the heads of Fatehabad block to choose a suitable place for constructing an Ashram in that region. They selected the same place which was made holy by Sai ji by visiting there and His Holiness Guruji granted the permission for erecting the Dera over there. Just after laying the foundation by Param Pitaji, the masonry work commenced in an awesome way. Three and a half acre land's boundary work, a double storied round Tera Vaas [sacred abode], verandah, kitchen, a few rooms for the ladies and a large hall for the comforts of visitors were instituted there. A 20x20x15 feet water reservoir and a water tank to purify the water were built there for serving the purpose of drinking water. The construction was started at 8:00 AM and with the holy grace, finished at night 11:00 i.e. just in 15 hours. Respected Guruji had favored the devotees greatly with this Ashram's construction. Now, whenever Guruji visit U.P. Ashram, always visit this ashram too and gives an exhilarating experience to the sadh sangat[spiritual community]. With this Ashram's evolution, love among the people belonging from this area has been growing immensely and no. of devotees is also increasing day by day with the Divine grace. Earlier, water in this Ashram was not found suitable for drinking purpose. Therefore, females used to bring water from any other place, 3-4 km away from Dera. Several people asked Param Pitaji about the unsuitability of water for drinking and Beparawahji sermonized, "Indeed, Almighty God will accede to your genuine desire. The representatives of that area saw Public Health department's head, Xen, Mr. Sukhbeer Singh. With the Divine grace, after completing the requisite proceedings, water works were sanctioned by the concerned department. Suitable land in the close proximity to a canal was purchased and 330x330x10 feet diggie was built and several arrangements for purifying the water were also made. To providing water to the villagers, underground water pipes and an electric motor for uninterrupted water supply have also been placed. This is another benediction bestowed by Beparawh ji. Sadh sangat cannot repay the debt of Guruji by any means. A celibate volunteer has been assigned the duty to look after this Dera, who involves in farming and other requisite caring of the Ashram with the cooperation of sadh sangat. Besides this, in concert with all they arrange water and meals for the devotees visiting there. They used to conduct monthly namcharcha in this Ashram too. With this Ashram's erection, sadh sangat is progressing by leaps and bounds.
