Ganga Ram sat near Guru ji. Guru Arjan Dev ji looked at him with grace in his eyes. He said to Ganga Ram: “Pandit ji, take the money for the oats you sold to us. You did a great service. You can go home now. You’ve helped us by giving us the oats at our time of need. You didn’t ask for money right away. There was nothing to eat and you gave us the oats. The Satsangat ate. For this reason, I will give you 25% more than you are owed. You came from a far distance. You gave us the oats on credit and trusted us. We will pay you more for this reason.” Pandit Ganga Ram ji folded his hands and said: “Guru ji, I don’t want the money. I only want to do Seva. I want my life to be a blessing. I don’t wish to go home. I will stay here with the Sangat and do Seva for the rest of my days. There is no other home greater that here. You are the greatest family member one could have. My soul will be blessed here. I don’t want to leave your home. I only think of your name. You are in my heart.” Guru ji said: “take the money. Do the Seva but we have to complete our promise. Take the money and send it to your home for your children. They have a right to this money. If you want to go, you can go and take the money. Otherwise send the money through a hoondi. You can come back and do Seva as you are doing now. Guru Ramdas ji will fulfill all your wishes. You will get more Seva to do. We can’t keep this money as it is for a Brahmin. The Langar runs with the Dasvand of the Sikhs. We don’t take money from someone’s earnings. Only the Dasvand. There is no shortage in the Guru’s home. Money comes and money is spent here on Langar.” Ganga Ram was humbled and bowed his head. He said to Guru ji: “Guru ji, I am your Sikh as well. I have offered the oats as a Seva. I only want to do Seva. I don’t want to go home. I have no other wish. I wish to be your Sikh. Wash my doubts away. Have mercy on me and make me your Sikh. I have come to your sanctuary. I have heard that you are gracious and generous; you bless the poor and weak. You have mercy on the poor. You love your Sikhs like a father and mother. I will not leave you. Whoever leaves you is a fool. I have understood who you are and that’s why I am here. I have renounced my family, home and business. I have no attachments with anyone else. I have found you. You are the Master of the Universe. You are the complete Guru.” Guru ji saw the determination in Ganga Ram ji’s heart. He blessed him with Charan Pahul. Ganga Ram ji was given Charan Pahul and initiated into Sikhi. Ganga Ram ji’s doubts were all washed away. Guru ji assigned the Seva to Ganga Ram ji and made him into a Sikh. Ganga Ram ji was in joy and did Seva with determination. His good karma from his previous births had awaken which led him to meeting the Satguru. His mind became purer as he continued his Seva.
As time passed, Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji blessed Ganga Ram ji and called for him. Sitting next to Guru ji, Guru ji gave Ganga Ram ji Brahmgyaan and showed him how to do Samadhi with the Simran of Satnam. He instantly received Aatam Gyaan when Guru ji showed him. The Siddhis were standing all around him with their hands folded. Whatever would come out of his mouth, would now come true. He continued doing Seva at the Sarovar. He possessed many powerful Siddhis. After a few months, Guru ji called for him and said: “go back to you home now.” Ganga Ram ji obeyed the orders, as he understood that obeying was the highest thing. He came back to Bathinda. He was a full Brahmgyaani now, detached from all attachments. His desires and ego had all died. He was not influenced by the world nor did he desire anything from the world. The Satnam resided in his heart. When he came back to Bathinda, the people who knew him were amazed to see him. Everyone respected him. They saw his radiance and bowed to him. He was glowing with Aatam Gyaan. Ganga Ram ji didn’t go home. He sat under a tree about 1 km from his home. He did Simran all day long. Whatever came out of his mouth, came out to be true. He made it known that he denounced his Purohit duties and made his children do the same. For the families that he was a Purohit for, he gave his responsibilities to another Purohit by writing a letter. He made his children denounce the Purohit duties and made them do Simran of Satnam.
There were two Khatri brothers that lived in Bathinda. They were quite rich. The elder was Bidhi Chand and the younger was Siddhi Chand. Siddhi Chand began to do Seva of Ganga Ram ji, as he always sat under a tree away from his house. He brought food for him everyday and brought water for him. Siddhi Chand sat by him all day long. He became his Sikh and did Simran with him. When Ganga Ram ji would come out of his samadhi, he would give Siddhi Chand wisdom as he already was a scholar and explained Gurbani to him. When he would give out an order, Siddhi Chand would serve him right away. Siddhi Chand discarded his ego of being a rich person. We would bring clothes for Ganga Ram ji every month and washed his clothes. He brought delicious food for him everyday and brought cold water for him. He would impress Ganga Ram ji all day long and served him for 12 years, non-stop. He had faith and devotion towards Ganga Ram ji. He knew that he had been blessed by Guru Arjan Dev ji for doing Seva in Amritsar. After 12 years, Ganga Ram ji was impressed with Siddhi Chand and said: “I am happy with your Seva. What is your desire? Why do you serve me? Tell me what you wish for. Guru Nanak Dev ji will give you what you want. You served me with faith and devotion. I am happy. I wish to bless you.” Siddhi Chand heard this and folded his hands. He was filled with joy and said: “if you are gracious, please bless me. I don’t have a son. We have tried many medicines but nothing worked. Please give me a son that will be a saint. Your words can do all of this.” Pandit Ganga Ram ji heard Siddhi Chand. He was a Sikh of the Guru. He noticed that his servant was without a son. He had served him with faith and devotion for 12 years. He said to him: “you will have a great saint born to you. He will be known in the world as a great saint. He will have Gyaan, Buddhi and Siddhis. People will bow to him. When he will be born, he will show miracles. Whoever will see him, will bow to him. He will be born with 10-inch-long hair which will be purely white. He will have Siddhis as soon as he will be born. He will make your family famous and he will be a great saint. He will bless many and will be generous. He will come by the blessing of Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji. The whole world will know him. He will call himself a servant but people will see him as a Guru. He will have a lot of powers. This is your reward for doing my Seva.” Siddhi Chand was over-joyed to hear all of this. He bowed his head to Ganga Ram ji and was in bliss. He continued doing Ganga Ram ji’s Seva.
A year later, Siddhi Chand’s wife was pregnant. There was a great celebration. After 9 months, a son was born with white hair that was 10 inches long. People around the area came to see him. They saw his 10-inch-long white hair. People bowed to him seeing his white hair as a sign of a powerful saint. People saw that Ganga Ram’s words were true. Siddhi Chand brought his son to Ganga Ram ji. He said: “this is my son. Please name him.” Ganga Ram ji named him “Mool Chand.” His life was great. He was a powerful person with Siddhis. He preached Sikhi in Malva and had many powers. The whole world bowed to him. Ganga Ram ji got all of his blessings from Amritsar and became a great and powerful saint. His words were so strong that they blessed others with sons who became powerful saints. All of these blessings came from the Seva of Amritsar Sarovar. The ones who did Simran of Satnam, their names are still spoken in history. Ganga Ram ji and Mool Chand ji are known in the area of Sunaam. There is a great temple there in memory of Bhai Mool Chand ji. The generations of Ganga Ram ji are in charge of that area (during Kavi Santokh Singh ji’s time). They all serve the Sangat there and run the Langar. People come to bow there and do Seva. Their wishes are fulfilled. There were many who did Seva in Amritsar and were blessed in both worlds. They received many powers by doing Seva and Simran.
