Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib along with his life partner Mata Suchet Devi
and many of his followers reached Hyderabad on the invitation of the wedding of Shree Jeevandas Bhojwani who was
Shree Kundandas Teerathmal bhojwani’s beloved son.
Thousands of people came to receive Shehenshah Satguru at the railway station.
Many People were singing devotional bhajans, some of
them were playing dholak and some were playing flutes.
People were dancing happily on the arrival of such a great Sant.
Sant Sai Satramdas Saheb along with all those who came to receive him
reached the venue where the actual wedding ceremony was going to take place.
The Panchayat of Hyderabad, people from the nearby villages and
cities, Bhojwani family, their relatives and many other Sadhus and
Sants had gathered to welcome, Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib, carrying the
garlands of flowers for him and were showering beautiful rose petals on
him .
Sant Sai Satramdas Saheb participated in all the wedding ceremonies and blessed the groom on the ceremony of Sehra bandi, and he himself made the groom wear the traditional head gear (a beautiful traditional headgear/turban/ which a groom wears at the time of the wedding). The groom’s father also asked Shehenshah Satguru Sant Sai Satramdas Saheb to bless the groom by carrying out certain traditions typically done by the father at the wedding.
Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib along with his devotees did bhakti and keertan at the wedding ceremony and transmitted love and happiness in the hearts of the people, present at the wedding.
Mata Suchet Devi also was requested to perform all the rituals which are actually done by the groom’s mother, and Mata Saheb very happily participated, in all the rituals.
At the wedding ceremony, numerous wealthy women adorned in lavish gold jewelry and costly attire were present, sporting golden bangles, ornate gold necklaces, and elegant earrings. Even the local women were dressed in fine clothing and pricey jewelry. However, Mata stood out in her simple dress and modest jewelry.
During the wedding ceremony at the bride’s house, the women from her side were also beautifully dressed and their jewelry sparkled in the wedding lights. In comparison, Mata Suchet Devi appeared modest amidst the grandeur.
when Sant Satramdas along with his disciples came back to Raharki
Saheb, he asked Mata Suchet Devi if she enjoyed at the wedding ceremony.
Mata Suchet devi told Shehenshah Satguru about her experience at the wedding function and also told Sai, that the ladies in the wedding were wearing expensive clothes and precious jewellery and everyone was enjoying and feeling so happy.
Sant Sai Satramdas Saheb with his divine smile looked at Mata Suchet
Devi and then, with a sudden gust of wind, a corner of Sant Sai Satramdas Saheb’s mattress lifted, revealing a stash of precious gems, gold, valuable ornaments, diamonds, and more beneath. Sant Sai Satramdas Saheb, with a serene smile, said to Mata Suchet Devi, “Take whatever you desire, as you have the right to adorn yourself with beautiful jewelry.” This sight and the radiant light in Sant Sai Satramdas Saheb’s eyes filled Mata Suchet Devi with blissful happiness
Mata Suchet Devi was spiritually awakened, and she bowed her head before, Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib and said “”Shehenshah Sai, I have witnessed the divine light in the darkness of ignorance and comprehended that my dignity lies in serving you. Your loving blessings have taught me that material possessions are insignificant, and my true wealth is my inner self-awareness, which is the “Naam Ratan” that grants salvation through meditation. Today, I humbly request at your divine feet to bestow upon me the gift of “Naam Daan” instead of these worldly possessions, so I may truly prosper in life.”
Maata Sahib’s life was transformed by her aspiration for spiritual wealth and receiving “Naam Daan” from Sant Satramdas Saheb. She felt a sense of unity in all things and became deeply devoted to selfless service. She would assist at Sant Satram Dham by washing clothes, cleaning the temple, tending to guests, and ensuring that no one left without taking prasad.
Maata Sachet Devi was so dedicated to service that every day she would personally ensure that the food for all guests, including the sick, was ready on time. She would present lovely gifts to female guests before their departure and, for those in a hurry, pack their food in a brass tiffin box. The food (Bhandara Saheb) at Sant Satram Dham was always served promptly without any delay, and the service at Bhandara Sahib never ceased
Maata Suchet Devi would donate her jewelry to poor and orphaned girls. The hands of those receiving would tire, but Maata Suchet Devi never got tired of giving. She would even prepare bridal trousseaus for orphaned girls and those from poor and needy families
She was always connected to the selfless service and meditation.
Mata Suchet Devi was widely known as Badi Amma Saheb among devotees at Sant Satram dham. She was a dignified and selfless woman, her face radiated with divine light. Known for her beauty and sweet, honey-like voice, she was an expert in treating various health problems in women and children, including throat issues, headaches, stomach issues, and even poisonous bites. Mata Suchet Devi was a noble woman, truly a miracle worker for all.
