His Majesty Hazrat Baba Tajuddin (r.a.) had a magnificent height
of 6 Feet 9 Inches; therefore even in multitude of throng His
Majesty can be distinguished easily and prominently.
His Majesty’s sanctified forehead was broad, which was always
glowing and radiant; colour was dark brownish; celestial face
was straight & sharp, blessed with a beard, neck was long and
smooth; arms were long and robust; legs were also lengthy and
sturdy; and body was slim and slender. His Majesty’s never wore
anything on his blessed head; and often remains bare footed, had
a Madrasi Dialect, and His Majesty’s conversation was full of
humbleness and gentleness.

His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.), replies evenly in the same
gesture as someone addresses. If someone says “Baba” His Majesty
also calls him Baba. If someone says “Bhai” (Brother) His
Majesty also give equal respect and call him Bhai.

Readers! If I kept on writing on Hazoor (r.a.) Benevolence,
Munificence & affection this itself will need a proportion of
books; when my Uncle requested Hazoor (r.a.) that if it’s
permissible than can I arrange an writer to sit nearby His
Majesty, so he can record His Majesty’s accounts on daily basis,
on this Sarkar (lord) (r.a.) said:
“ Kagaz Kalam Khan sey lay ga “
From where you will bring equivalent Pen & Paper
So, based on this envisage that only on His Majesty’s (r.a.)
benevolence a heap of mountain of books can be written.
Therefore I sojourn on this condense account in order to write
briefly on other accounts.

His Majesty (r.a.) was swift footed, alacrity and fast momentum
paced; walks with steadfastness with eyes closed while in
condition of Muraqba (deep meditation) and Istigraak (Rapt),
irrespective how dangerous the trail. His Majesty (r.a.) never
impaired by anything on path, neither ever struck by stone, nor
ever spiked by any thorn, instead thrones sprawl under His
Majesty’s foot. Beast of Jungles fore kiss the blessed foot of
Hazoor (r.a.), and whoever accompanied him, also did not get
hurt by anything. By observing the pace of speed of His Majesty
(r.a.) one will say it looks like that he (r.a.) is walking
moalaq (in air) floating in air rather than walking on the
ground. Once of Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.) bequeathed buzurg
(venerable) Abdul Aziz Sahib (r.a.) known as “Nana Mian”
(Maternal Grand Father) narrates:
One Day I was walking with Hazoor (r.a.) in a Jungle, and a
flock of people were also along; servants were walking glooming
with shades on His Majesty (r.a.). A Servant named Yaqub (Jacob)
also gave me a chance to serve, I watched Hazoor (r.a.) were
steadfastly and completely Mustaghrik, and cannot be
distinguished who is walking? Hazoor (r.a.) wasn’t looking on
the path at all; it appears that Hazoor isn’t walking on the
ground instead walking Moalak (in air). While walking in this
condition Hazoor (r.a.) stopped instantaneously near a big piece
of rock which was deep rooted in the earth, immediately Sarkar (r.a.)
stood up there and said:
“ Aiyse Rehtey Hein, Aur Agey Barhtey hein “
Stay like this, and go onwards
His Majesty (r.a.) was a swift walker, and can be distinguished
in mass gathering of people with tall heights (meaning His
Majesty R.A., looks superlative and incomparable out of the
crowd).
This was the testimony of your leadership. His Majesty (r.a.)
style of sitting was a true Tughra (monogram) symbol of
“Mohammed “ (s.a.w.s.), and make a true example of Prophet
Mohammed S.W.A.S. Whether eating, sitting, etc.
His Majesty (r.a.) gives great care & importance in all aspects
of life in all ways and means. His Majesty was elevating to
higher and highest crests.

One day I (Author) was coming back from Hazoor (r.a.) devotion
of service at sunset. On a far distant from Pathak (gate) I met
a person who enquired me from where are you coming? I replied, I
am coming from Hazrat Baba Sahib (r.a.) service of devotion. At
that time I was of very young age. He asked me another question:
What evidence do you have to proof that you are coming from the
Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.)? I couldn’t give him any answer, so he
asked on his own? What you were doing over there? I replied: I
was massaging His Majesty (r.a.) foot.
Then he asked: Sniff your hands, as I whiffed my hands it was
fragrance with the aroma of Musk & Anbar. The gentleman grabbed
my hands immediately and rubbed on his entire body, when he was
rubbing my hands on his clothes the perfume was spreading to far
distant vicinity.
I also rubbed my hands on my clothes and placed them separately
in a suitcase. That perfume lasts for years but I never met that
gentleman again.

The Tabarukat (gifts) preserved with me (the Author) at Durbar
Taj Al Aulia, out of them is a Handkerchief, which was used to
absorb Hazoor Baba Sahib’s (r.a.) blessed sweat before His
Majesty’s parda. Until to this date aroma of Amber and Musk
still persist in it. Previously all this Tabarukat were put on
display for Ziarat (honorary visits) yearly, and now on
insistent of devotees it happens twice a year.
So, once on the occasion of Ziarat an elderly lady visited, she
was still tremendously beautiful even at this old age, and was
staying at Anwar Adil Sahab, Akhtar Adil Sahab’s Villa. When
this Buzurga (a Pious lady) paid Ziarat (visit) to this
handkerchief she start crying heavily. After Ziarat we inquired
the reason of crying, she explained: I was staying in Bombay
(Mumbai) hearing a lot about famousness of Baba Sahab’s (r.a.)
Karamat (miracles). I was affected by asthma so I requested Baba
Sahib (r.a.) virtually in my house that your Majesty ‘s Karamat
are famed and well known all over, if my disease cure I will pay
a visit in respect of His Majesty (r.a.). Since I Was very
strict of Hijab (veil) so instantaneously I thought there is
always a crowd of devotees present in respect of Baba Sahib
(r.a.) how could I go there, so I set a condition on paying a
Hazri (visit) that I will visit for sure, but will take the
honour of Kadam Bossi (fore kissing) when you Majesty will be
alone. This was impossible. According to her by His Majesty’s
karam (blessings) she got cured the next day. After few days
according to promise I travelled to Nagpur, in those days Sarkar
(r.a.) was staying Shakar Dara. I reached there after inquiring
the address, when I entered inside Sarkar (r.a.) was alone, I
took the honour of Kadam Bosi (fore kissing), Sarkar (r.a.)
forwarded one foot, and ordered to massage it. I acted
accordingly, during this a gentleman came and stood there,
Sarkar (r.a.) signalled him which I couldn’t understand but he
presented a Bidri (inner core of cigarette wrapped in leaves) to
Sarkar (r.a.) His Majesty took couple of puffs and granted me
that Bidri, I took that extinguished and wrapped in my head
scarf, during that His Majesty (r.a.) ordered to massage the
other foot. I was very hygienic in nature, while I was massaging
my hands were sticking with His Majesty’s Foot. I thought that
might be somebody has applied oil on the body. I thought that I
will wash my hands with soap and water later, after a long while
I got permission to get disperse. I had a program to wash my
hands when I will come out; I walk towards a grocery store in
search of soap. By chance when my hands drawn near to my nose to
correct my veil it was fragrance with the perfume of Musk and
Amber. Now when I smell both of my hands they were perfumed.
Until several days that aroma persisted, and this handkerchief
has the same perfume. At that point I have figure out that it
was not oil on the foot, but it was Sweat and perfume was
because of that.
This Handkerchief was placed in a plastic box, on seeing this
she make a bowl of Silver and placed that plastic box in that.
The reason of weeping, she told that she has lost that Bidri, I
wish I could have ate it. After this she continuously gathered
in Niaz of 26th of month, and yearly Urs (Annual celebration in
memory of departed) and on Youm-e- Wiladat (birthday) of Sarkar
(r.a.).

Why should not the same fragrance in His Majesty (r.a.) sacred
body? His Majesty (r.a.) is a Hasni wal Hussaini Sadaat (Holy
Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s.) descendents through his dearly loved
daughter Hazrat Fatimah Razi Allah Anha) and beloved of Prophet
Mohammed (s.a.w.s.) and Messenger of Hazrat Zahra (Razi Allah
Anha). To depict His Majesty’s (r.a.) commendable attributes is
like squeezing the whole universe in nutshell.
In respect of Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s.) Abi Abdullah has said:
Bay teebe Rasoolillahe taaba Shaiammuha
Fama lil Misku wal Kafooru wal Sandal Arratab.
Rationally by virtue of Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s.) fragrance’s
the fragrance become aromatic and it is a veracity that even the
best of perfumes like Sandal, Musk or Camphor doesn’t have a
fragrance like that.
Hazrat Shibli (r.a.) is one of the concealed pure inner self,
and a pious scholars, he explains that the terrain of Medina
AlMunnawara has a idiosyncratic fragrance which even Musk or
Amber does not contains, and it’s not a matter of bewilderment
or strange at all, because the ambience where the beloved of
Allah Almighty Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s.) exalted and enrich
the air by His sanctified breathe, then what will be the
fragrance of Musk or Amber?
Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s.) had a great affection with the
mother of Hazrat Ans (Razi Allah Anhu) she was Prophet’s
(s.a.w.s.) Aunty, meaning she was from Muharramat (permissible
intimate relative). Whenever Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W.S) visit
her in afternoon he take his rest there. It was practice of
Hazrat Um Sulaim (Razi Allah Anha) that she dried out Sweat from
purified sacred body of Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and gather into a
Jar. Once Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s.) saw that and asked: “What
you will do with this?” She answered: “Sarkar (s.a.w.s.) we use
this as a perfume”. (Muslim, Volume 2).
It has been divulged that Hazrat Baba Syed Mohammed Taj Uddin
AlHasni Wa AlHusseini is a “Sadaat”, from the royal family of
our beloved Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s.) and the messenger of
Hazrat Zuhra (Razi Allah Anha). So, it is acceptable, if hand
touches Musk, it becomes fragrant from the same perfume! This is
matter of the royal family of Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.s.). It
should not be a matter of amaze and astonishment if similar
Raison D’etre of fragrance develops in His (s.a.w.s.) family
too!

Hazoor (r.a.) Routines & Preferred Cuisine
His Majesty Baba Tajuddin (r.a.) was not constraint to time and
routine, whether it was period of staying at Waki Shareef, or
residency at Shakar Dara, people witness that at a while His
Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) is sitting beside a river bank and
after a while sitting in a Jungle under a tree.
Tea was served at Shakar Dara at 4:00 am in service of His
Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) and from that time people start to
gather around His Majesty (r.a.). Sometimes Baba Sahib drink
Tea, sometimes bequeaths to someone else, and sometimes His
Majesty (r.a.) takes a sip and rest is distributed among the
(devotees) attendees. Mostly after daybreak His Majesty Baba
Sahib (r.a.) steps out from the palace. Outside of Shakar Dara
Palace each and everyone, shop keepers, Servant of Rao, and
visitors keep busy in there chores, but in the interim anxiously
keep on watching from time to time towards the palace door, and
as soon as His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) steps out of the
palace, clamour arose that Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.) is coming! The
Mithai Wala (confectioner) run afterwards with there sweets,
Florists run after with their Garland (Gajra) and visitors start
walking behind Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.) devotees overwhelmingly
shower with flowers, someone comes forward and take the
privilege and lay Gajra (flower bracelet) in His Majesty (r.a.)
Neck. Sometimes Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.) also sits down at
locations, people present sweets and flowers, and someone
present gifts and oblations.
His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) response back to Saileen
(requestors) with low voice (Burburana); due to multitude of
crowd sometimes His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) benevolence way of
talking becomes a love filled warning (dant) and hit slightly if
angered, but the devotees do not go away.
Sometimes His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) goes towards city and
sometime goes in direction of Jungle. Occasionally walk towards
jungle on foot also, but mostly travel by transport, and for
that either Cattle Car or Tango was always accompanying His
Majesty (r.a.), but he mostly travel on Tango. When H. M. Baba
Sahib (r.a.) go out of palace on foot and walk for far
distantly, people endeavour that H. M. (r.a.) ride the Tango by
any means. It also happens that H. M. Baba Sahib (r.a.) orders
for Savari (Transport) a Coachman (Coach Driver) by the name of
the Heera Lal presents Tango. H. M. Baba Sahib (r.a.) has given
name of “ Bahadur” to the Horse of Tango.
After His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) rides the Tango then one
Pahlwan (a Stalwart, strong build person) sits in the front and
another sits on the footstep and goes together. The “Bahadur”
Horse standby and waits for His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.)
signal, as soon Bawa (r.a.) spells “Barhao” (forward) the Horse
start galloping immediately on his own. Coachman was not allowed
to hold Bagain (pull up) horse, or to give direction to turn
left or right. Bahadur on His own sprints on the route of
Streets and Jungles. In next to no time the Tango come out of
Shakar Dara limits, a heap of people gather around to have
Ziarat (privilege of seeing) and fore kissing, and the majority
of this mass jogs along side by side of the Tango. His Majesty
Baba Sahib (r.a.) takes a round of the city, and at some places
order to halt the cart and meet people. There lies a secret in
stopping over at places. Generally people who came from far
distant places with aspiration to meet Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.) and
they couldn’t get a chance to meet His Majesty (r.a.) Baba Sahib
(r.a.) meet with them.
It also happens that His Majesty (r.a.) stopover at somewhere
and give them backing and encouragement to predicament people in
crisis.
Whilst His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) move on foot in direction
of Jungle people accompany His Majesty (r.a.) carrying along
with them Tea and Food. Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.) mostly have his
lunch in Jungle. sometimes ordered by himself, sometimes people
present themselves at time of lunch. Everyone untangle his or
her Lunch Box or Food Basket and present in respect of His
Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.). Baba Sahib (r.a.) eats a little
randomly from any lunch box and the rest is distributed among
the visitors.
Dal (pulse), Chawwal (Rice), Machli (Fish) was His Majesty’s
(r.a.) preferred cuisine. In this regard, His Majesty (r.a.)
sometime says these verses:
“Yeh Nahi Khaia to mitti Dhool”
If you didn’t eat this, then soil & dirt

Bequeath of His Majesty Baba Sahab (r.a.) in Mefil-E-Samaa
(Session of Spiritual Music)
Hazrat Fareed Khan Sahab Fiza (r.a.) narrates I paid a visit in
respect of Hazoor (r.a.) when His Majesty was staying at Jungle
of Waki Shareef, at that time His Majesty (r.a.) was sitting
inside of Villa. I opened the door and entered inside, Two
Qawwals (Spiritual singers) were performing. Sarkar (R.A. was
listening silently and this verse was replicating “Bhar Bhar Jam
Pilla dey Saqi” Qawwal (a chanter of religious verses) was an
ordinary one but the Kafiat of the Qawwali (poetic frenzy of
Qawwali was unusual and it was persuading an extra ordinary
influence on me. I said to myself Baba Sahab’s (r.a.)
benevolence is open on the entire human kind & civilization, and
the whole world is getting benefit out of it. I wish if I also
get a chunk out of it. The moment this aspiration came into my
mind, instantly Sarkar (r.a.) order the devotee (me) “Aik Glass
Pani do” (give me a glass of Water), I serve a glass of Water,
His Majesty (r.a.) took couple of sips, and forwarded the glass
towards me, I advanced to take the glass but said heartedly
“Jazb nahi Salook chahta hoon” (I don’t want state of Ecstasy &
Trance, and deep meditation, but state of steady and awareness
with deep meditation). Bawa Baba Sahab (r.a.) took his hand and
start drinking himself. I ashamed of myself asked again
heartedly for this benevolence. His Majesty (r.a.) again
forwarded the glass towards me, but I said again the same in my
heart “Jazb Nahi Salook Chahta Hoon”, His Majesty (r.a.)
repelled his hand, likewise His Majesty (r.a.) forwarded the
glass towards me for the third time, but the misfortune didn’t
left me alone, that thinking and demand persisted, and upon
emerging this thought Hazoor (r.a.) throw the glass on the
ground with force, angered on Qawwal, hit the Dhollak & went out
towards Jungle in the state of Jazb (State of ecstasy & Trance).
Hazrat Nizam Uddin Mehboob-e-Illahi (r.a.) narrates on page
number 127 of Fawaid AlFuwad “Sama mard key wastey kasooti hey”
(Spritual Music is a test for man), and one point author Hazrat
Ameer Ullah Sanjari wrote that at one Hazri (visit) I asked
solicitly Hazrat Mehboob-e-Ilahi (r.a.) that this perturb heart
is astonished on its own, that it cannot practice obedience
ardour as it should be, no question what would be the pinnacle
of recitation and meditation of the Darwesh (pious people), but
when I listen to the spiritual music it brings me absolute
comfort and sob, swear to God at that time my sensual appetites
are mortified and my heart get rid of this worldly carnal life
and transient worldly people, and I do not remember any thing
else.
Sarkar Mehboob-e-Illahi (r.a.) asked again “Kiya Dil Alaieke
Duniawee sey Khali hojata hey ?” (Did the heart liberates from
profess worldly desires?) I replied “Yes” upon this His Highness
said:
“Samaa (Session of spiritual music) is divided into two kinds,
“Hajim” (raiding) and “Ghair Hajim” (non raiding). Hajim is
characterizing as upon hearing Samaa (the spiritual music)
affects in the beginning, e.g.: on a melodies voice, or a
pleasant verse delights, this kind of situation is called Hajim,
and it cannot be defined.
Ghair Hajim (non-raiding) is defined when Samaa uplift mind and
soul and bring in state of Ecstasy upon hearing a verse which
defined qualities of a Saint, or on noble virtues of his Peer (a
guider to the path of the spiritual world). Sarkar
Mehboob-e-Illahi (r.a.) has described definition of Samma in
just two words that “Samaa is man’s test”.

One person met in Hungun Ghat (name of a place) narrated a
miracle. Once we reached in Baba Sahib’s (r.a.) Durbar (Royal
Court), a devotee bought a pair of shoes for His Majesty Baba
Sahib (r.a.). Sirkar (Baba Sahib r.a.) after wearing it, throw
one pair of shoe towards me and other towards the second person.
Now, demon ghosts diffuse on the hit of this shoe. Simply by
smacking couple of times, the whole magic vanishes.
Allah’s Praises, what a healing in these Allah beloved people.

In His last moments, Baba Murshid Said to Maharaja Ragoogee Rao
that my bed would not be lift from your place for decades to
come. Therefore, one can see the mystic succession place for His
Majesty Baba Murshid, and until to this day it exhibits the same
atmosphere as it use to be before His Majesty Baba Sahib veiled
this materialistic world. All the visiting guests and devotees
are being taken great care.

His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) faced acute and extreme hardships
for the benefit and sake of mankind. It also happened that some
one said any vicious words, and the devoted servants felt bad
about that, and intended His Majesty to curse him for misbehave,
but Baba Sahib said, “Nako Hazrat Hamara Darbar, bud dua ka
nahi” (No Hazrat (Mister), Our Court is court of Blessings, and
not the Court of cursing”) even people of that kind got
benevolence and benefit from His Majesty.
You are a true sibling from the family of Prophet Mohammad SAW,
and that is the vitality of being heart maker instead of heart
breaker. That is the reason; your court is the court of
blessings and mercy, which is still provoking today.
During your life before veiling this worldly life, large number
of people blessed and benefited by your blessings and love, and
this still continuing until today. Your Royal Court is
benefiting all caste of people irrespective of there background.
Either a first time visitor or a heartily devotee, every one
thinks Baba Sahib affectionate me and loves me only.
Your beneficence is continuing and ever flowing. Every one
receiving their desire full filled according to there desires.
No one goes empty handed from His Majesty Royal Court, and this
practice is still going on until today.
