These are the photographs
of Lawrence Garden. Originally built as botanical garden modelled on Kew
Gardens, it was named after John Lawrence, Viceroy of India from 1864 to 1869.
Lawrence garden at Lahore – It is now called “Bagh – e – Jinnah” after
Mohammad Ali Jinnah the founder of Pakistan. Shri Nathji used to come here for
regular walks during His stay in Lahore in the 1930’s. He was dressed royally
as always and had a walking stick in his hand, which he swung back and forth
briskly with a delightful swagger. His cloths were always spotlessly clean and
immaculately pressed. His shoes polished and manners amazingly charming. When
Shri Nathji was walking in the Lawrence garden, a certain Parsee couple Mr. and
Mrs. Naazar met Shri Nathji in the Garden. Mrs. Naazar asked the men in His
entourage: “What is His mission?”
“Love Divine”, they said “and it’s propagation in the world!”
Mrs. Naazar said how can a mission like Love Divine succeed in the world of today? Shri Naid to Mr. Naazar who was holding a child in her arms If this child in your arms accepts me, then I can be sure my mission will succeed.”
“Oh, but he would be much too frightened of you!” said Mrs. Nazaar, in a light vein.
In reply, Shri Nathji turned to rhe child and said “Come to me! I am your real mother! This lady is merely your nurse!”
The child immediately beamed with joy and extended his arms towards Shri Nathji, extending his body out of his mother lap. Shri Nathji, in turn, extended his arms and caught the child. Mr. and Mrs. Naazar, both become greatly devoted to Shri Nathji.
When they met Him many years later, they brought the grownup child before Him and said:
“Here is the child you caught in your arms. We have named her Almighty!” When Shri Nathji laughed at this they said:
“Whenever she is happy, good things come our way and whenever she is angry, misery comes our way! She has taken your divine touch. We are almost afraid of her. This is why we gave her the name of Almighty!”
