Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib and his son, Sai Amolak Das Sahib, were bathing on a river bank when Khanumal approached them on horseback. Khanumal, who was childless, asked for permission to take Amolak Das Sahib for a horse ride. Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib agreed and Khanumal took the child to his home where his wife was present.
One Darvesh/Fakir had told Khanumal’s wife that sacrificing a child of a great sant would bring her a child. So, when Khanumal brought Amolak Das Sahib, the wife wrapped child Sai Amolak in a red cloth, put a red Tilak of Sindoor on his head and whirled him 7 times clockwise and 7 times anticlockwise above her head, killing the child.Khanumal and his wife left the child outside Sant Satramdas Sahib’s shop out of fear.
The villagers were angry and upset, when they came to know about the incidence, but Sant SaiSatramdas Sahib asked them to calm down, saying there was no fault of Khanumal, as he himself did not know what the outcome of his act will be, and that he still prayed for the happiness in Khanumal’s life.
A year later, Khanumal’s wife gave birth to a child. The villagers were still upset and refused to visit and bless the child, but Sant Satramdas Sahib urged them to do so and spread love, not hatred.
“He emphasized that it is the responsibility of all to visit Khanumal’s child and extend love and blessings to him, so that when he grows up, he will spread love and not hate. He stated that the child will give back to society whatever he receives, therefore, everyone should show him love and kindness. Shahanshah Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib made significant sacrifices and let go of material possessions to promote love and forgiveness.”
