History

After living for a month in Shakardara, Tajuddin Baba moved to Waki Jungles after acquiescence of Maharaja.

Patel Sheri Kashi Naath Rao was His Majesty’s (r.a.) devotee. He was suffering from joint pains, for which he frequently used to come to Nagpur for treatment. One day while crossing by the Mental hospital, he saw a great mob of people. Upon questioning, He came to know that the mob is waiting for glimpse of a virtuous His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.). Upon seeing His majesty, Kasnhi Naath bent his head down in respect, His Majesty said:
“Nana, Aap theek Ho Jatey. Hum tumharey Ghar Ayen Gey”
Grandfather, you will be fine, we will come to your house
Kashi Naath Rao’s joints pain was healing, he kept on coming to His majesty without interruption, until he became one of the regular devotees in paying respect to His Majesty (r.a.).
One day, His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.), was touring in Maharaja’s horse cart, upon reaching Paathan Sauwngee, His Majesty commanded
“Nana ko Bulaye hum waki Jain ge”.
Call grandfather, we will go to Waki. Immediately this message was conveyed to Waki which is situated 4 Miles away in South of Paathan Sauwngee.
Kashi Naath Rao Patel immediately arrived with four Buffalo carts, and with a warm welcome accompanied back with His Majesty to Waki. This way His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) reached Waki.
Kashi Naath Rao Patel didn’t leave any effort in care and service of His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.). He assigned numerous servants to server His Majesty (r.a.), along himself dedicated to His Majesty’s service, but His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.), never rested on bed, whenever he rested, he rested on floor, whenever He sat, He sat on floor, and even if relaxed, He relaxed on floor. Whatever the season, His Majesty wore only a Kurta (Shirt) throughout all seasons. His Majesty remained bare Head and Foot.
Likewise, while at Mental Hospital His Majesty revealed various miracles and benevolence for humanity, similarly here at Waki His Majesty’s munificence and miracles carried on.
Baba Tajuddin’s (r.a.) Educational, Devotional & Welfare Centers
While at stay at Waki Shareef, His Majesty (r.a.) formed a Masjid (mosque), Madarsa (School), Shifa Khana (Hospital), and a Adalat (Court) under a vast Tree of Tamarind in Patel’s Farm, and spent most of His time there, busy in devotion and meditation. Devotees paid their respect, and got His Majesty’s benevolence. Patel constructed a dwelling for His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) His Majesty gave name to this place as NAGPUR. Gradually as time passes, people came there and stayed, the population increased densely, and it become a suburb.
Masjid (Mosque)
His Majesty Baba Sahab (r.a.) had given a corner in his back yard of residence as Masjid (Mosque).His Majesty ordered all those who were suffering from Spiritual problems and diseases to pray there. Within few days, they revert back towards Allah Jee, praying regularly, wholeheartedly, and steadfastly, and would return back to there homes successfully.
This was proven that, whoever had prayed in this Masjid (Mosque) he became free from all kinds of spiritual and psychological problems.
Madrasa (School)
His Majesty Baba Sahab (r.a.) named a huge mango tree as Madrasa (School), and directed all weak students to study there, within a day or two, they revolutionized into genius students. A mass group of students came over, and returned, loaded with His Majesty’s benevolence, and bags of Spiritual and Educational knowledge. Numerous students graduated from here becoming, successful Lawyers, Bureaucrat, Spiritual leaders, Lawmakers, etc. Even here, there were not any kind of discrimination between them, in fact the school was open to everyone, extraneously of there ethical backgrounds, religion, sect, cast, or color. Until now, by the blessing of His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) this school is still enlightening and benefiting those in quest of knowledge.
Shifa Khana (Hospital)
Two yards away, on the west of the dwelling, lay a Mango Tree, which His Majesty Baba Sahab (r.a.) called as Hospital. If someone with incurable disease approached His Majesty, Baba ordered him to stay under that tree.
His majesty (r.a.) enunciates:
“Hamarey Shifa Khaney mey dakhil hotey, Achey ho jatey”
Get admited in our Shifa khane (Hospital), and get well soon.
Those who go their, get well at the same moment and some within two to four days while staying there. Once, an Englishman who was frustrated from his long illness, and was so weak, that could he could barely walk, came to His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.). His Majesty gave him dried bread and ordered him to dip it in water and eat it, and stay in Hospital. That Englishman followed the orders, and kept on eating the dried bread with dipping in water, until he completely got well. When his relatives came to see him, they were unable to recognize him.
Adalat (Court)
His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) calls a Mango Tree near the Madarsa (School), as Kicheri (Court). When baffled persons come distressed in worldly problems, His Majesty orders them to stay in this Kicheri (Court), and do not leave until He orders them to leave.
As per His Majesty supreme orders, the distressed stays, beneath that Mango Tree, and when he returns to his home after the permission, the conditions and problems has been resolved. There were not only hundred rather thousand of such devotees who were salvaged, and were benefited. Lot of them was victimized by false case by English Courts, and was trapped in injustice of English courts. After coming to His Majesty Baba Sahib's (r.a.) court, they get bailed in every case, and got the security they were looking. Till today, people come, place their requests in Wire file, and getting the blessings and benevolence.
This way, sometimes His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) stays in Waki Shareef and sometimes in Maharaja’s Palace in Shukardura. Besides, in Waki Shareef His Majesty had named a place as Prade Ground.
Sweet Tree
One day His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.) was relaxing beneath a Neem (Margo's) Tree, a patient came in Baba Sahib’s (r.a.) respect, Baba Sahib (r.a.) ORDERED HIM,
“Fetch the Leaves and Eat"
This person gazed towards the Margo tree, thought of the tree’s sourness, and stood back. Baba Sahib (r.a.) answered his feeling and Said;
“Who said this tree leaves are Bitter, wherever our sight goes, everything is sweet and sweet”
That person obeyed Baba Sahib’s (r.a.) order and ate the leaves; he was in great shock, that the tree leaves were really sweet. Even now, this river of benevolence sustains till present and a complete cure for all kind of diseases.
Returning to Shukardara
During Baba Sahib’s stay at Waki Sharif, Raja Ragoo Jee Rao paid respect and served very frequently. He considered Baba Sahib’s (r.a.) devotion a great asset. Raja’s devotion and care implored Baba Sahib (r.a.) back to Shukar Dara.
Raja Ragoo Gee Rao reserved a dedicated area in his Palace specifically for Baba Sahib (r.a.), and assigned trustworthy servants to serve Baba Sahib (r.a.). They conducted there best possible efforts to gratify His Majesty Baba Sahib (r.a.). Raja Rao also squirrel away a Horse Cart for Baba Sahib (r.a.) along with a driver. But Baba Sahib (r.a.) did not require all these luxuries, But Baba Sahib (r.a.) were only indulge in Allah's reverence. Only the divine light appeared in all sights. (NOOR E ILAHI)
Baba Sahib (r.a.) stayed in Raga Rago Gee Rao palace. His palace was close to the Nagpur Station at the distance of Two and a half kilometer. There was a separate lane going to Raja’s palace. On both side of the road, there were small hunts, in which Baba Sahib’s (r.a.) devotees or in common words ,as Baba Sahib (r.a.) calls “his children” (BACCHAY) lived.
