Sardar Hanram Singh

 HH Priya Nathji  gave sermon to His devotees at Sterling Resort in Mussoorie, he mentioned about Shri Nathji’s Association with Sardar Hanram Singh.

  Priya Nathji said that when cards of Shri Nathji’s birthday were printed, then they were not mere invitation cards, but they also carried Divine Blessings. But some people who got the card forgot to offer their thanks on receiving the card. They did not write back that they received the card and inform if they be coming to attend the function or not.

 Once Mahaprabhuji;s Birthday was celebrated at Mussoorie.  Sardar Hanram Singh was the Chairman of Mussoorie Municipality. An invitation card was also sent to him. At that time he was suffering from a serious arm injury. So the card was send with the assumption that as he is injured he will be taking  rest at his home , so he will get Mahaprabhuji’s blessings in form of this invitation card.

  When people were arriving to attend the birthday celebrations,  Sardar Hanram Singh was also seen walking along, with support of two men.   Mahaprabhuji exclaimed – “Sardar Hanram Singh, How come you're here when you have such a severe injury?”

 Sardar Hanram Singh said –  “Huzur!  Your Hukumnama (Divine Order) had come. I received  Your card and I came. “

  Mahaprabhuji used to say that when a devotee comes before God with devotion, God manifests.
