The love of muslim saints for Maaruti
1 – Baabaa Jalaaludin Vasaali
On the banks of mother river Saryu in Pramodvan under the bordi tree is situated a
beautiful shrine. In this adorable shrine lies under shadow of Bhram sleep Baabaa
Jalaaludin Vasaali attaining oneness with Bhagwaan Sri Raamchandraji prostrated in
eternal sleep.
Word Vasaali is related to Farsi language. It means one who has attained living inclusion
in the Lord.
Sufi Husnaparast alias love faith devotee Shaah Jalaaludin was resident of Khuraasaan.
Roaming about this Great soul arrived inMultaan city in Punjaab province.. In those days
erudite orator Pandit Tekchandji was reading out story of Raamaayan. Shaah saheb daily
came to listen the Raam story and thus developed deep love attachment in his heart.
One day completing the story folding and wrapping his book Panditji was leaving for
home. At that time going near saaluting Shaah saheb respectfully said:
―Panditji! For last so many days I have been coming here listening to the story. I get

story telling had to stop. Fearful and to save his life, he was fleeing. On the way he was
met by Shaah saheb.
Panditji had changed his attire. Even so recognising him in his disguise Shaah saheb
respectfully uttered: ― Panditji, changing your attire like this, where are you going?Give
your address to this fan if yours!‖
With fixed gaze Panditji let out: ―Shaah saheb, at this moment I am fleeing for my life.
Otherwise I would have certainly read to you the exploits of dear Bhagwaan!‖ Shaah
saheb was an accomplished person - carefree devotee. Heaaring the fearful voice of
Panditji he said smiling: ―panditji! Do not fear. I will give you tis knife. When you strike
it on the ground, it will become a python and all around will flee frightened. When you
will cover it with earth it will gain its original form of knife. So therefore walk around
with it in your hand. You will be reading to me my Lord‘s story, won‘t you?Then why
should you be frightened?‖ Paditji became confident.
Shaah said: ―Now begin relating the beauty of the prince of Avadh‖ The love permeated
Panditji opening his book sat in the road and began to relate Raam kathaa. He satrted to
relate the beautiful form of Raghupati.At the time of Dhanush (bow) Yagna, the Mahaa
Raajaas of various countries were no compare to the beauty. The Panditji described in
