Life Story of Jalaram Bapa
Shree Jalaram Bapa
was born in the year 1800 AD in the village Virpur, Gujarat. His
mother, Rajbai was very fond of serving sadhus and saints. No sadhu and
saint could go from Virpur without receiving the hospitality of Rajbai.
Shree Jalaram Bapa's father's name was Pradhan Thakkar, who was engaged
in business. At
the tender age of 16, Jalaram married Virbai, daughter of Thakkar
Pragji Somajia. Jalaram was however not inclined to live household life
and to continue to do business with his father. He is mostly engaged in
serving sadhus and saints. He separated himself from his father's
business and stayed with his uncle, Valjibhai, who was very fond of
Jalaram. It was obvious that Jalaram was inclined to completely
withdraw from marital life. Fortunately his wife, Virbaima decided to
follow the path of Jalaram. So, when Jalaram decided to go for a
pilgrimage for holy places, Virbaima followed him. At
the age of 18, Jalaram Bapa accepted Shree Bhojalram from Fatehpur as
guru and was given a "Guru Malaa and Mantra" in the name of Shree Ram.
With blessings of his guru, he started "Sadavrat" a feeding centre, a
place where all sadhus and saints as well as the needy could have food
any time during 24 hours. Nobody returned from that place without
having food. All this he did single handed with Virbaima assisting him. Soon
his fame spread as an incarnation of the divine. Whoever come to
Virpur, whether Hindu or Muslim was fed by Bapa. Once three Arabs in
the service of Thakore of Rajkot demanded an increase in wages by four
rupees in a month. Being refused, the Arabs resigned and set out to
Junagadh. On their way, they hunted few birds and kept them in their
shoulder bag. When they reached Virpur, Bapa asked them to have their
meals and then go. When they protested that they were Muslims, Bapa
said that in the court of God there was no distinction in caste and
creed and they were welcome. The
three Arabs had their meals in the temple but they were embarrassed
that they were carrying dead birds in their bag. The Bapa touched the
bag and said that the birds were feeling suffocated. The Arabs opened
the bag and found that the birds were alive. They flew away to a nearby
tree. The Arabs were amazed and understood that they were in the
presence of divine person. They fell at his feet and asked whether they
would get a job in Junagadh. Bapa
said "What was the need to have a job in Junagadh? The Arabs serve only
one master." Just at that time, a camel man sent by Thakore of Rajkot
arrived there. He took back the Arabs with him saying that Thakore has
sanctioned an increment of seven rupees in their wages.
There
are many stories about the greatness of the saint of Virpur.
Remembering the stories, we can fill the heart with devotion and
gratitude.
