The Barefeet Blogger of Mumbai At The Hijra Saint And His Biological Sons Grave

This area is known as Khada Pada..I had thrown away the blue plastic slippers decided to walk back to Ajmer Dargah through a short cut but not very rocky like the earlier one .. from a slope to the right of the graves ..

Marc was going back the same way we had come..a real tough trek..but Marc is a Malang and a very brave one.

The story goes that a Hijra a devout follower of Khwahjah Garib Nawaz made a very unusual request he invoked the Holy Saint to give him a son ,

The Holy saint Garib Nawaz told him to go to the mountains eat a fruit that grows on a tree near Bib Hafiz Jamals tomb..he ate it became pregnant but as the pregnancy the hijras male body could not cope up up with the growth of the child in him , he relented , begged forgiveness of the Holy Saint for going against God and Nature.. and asked the Holy Saint to end his pain.

The Holy Saint told him throwing a ball in the air to follow it, the Hijra did and fell of a precipice below at Khada Pada splitting his stomach, the child and he both died were buried side by side..

This is the Hijra connection with Ajmer Sharif and the Khwajah Garib Nawaz..

This is a tough trek but is the most prestigious pilgrimage site for Hijras from the North Weat and East...

The first when I came here I had dreamed of this place never having seen it Peersaab Fakhru Miya Hujra No 6 interpreted it , and I came her barefeet too in a red djellaba ..

I had also dreamt of Pushkar and never heard or seen it Peersaab was the one who sent me there with a Hindu Pandit..

Peersab Fakhru Miya Hujra No 6 Ajmer Sharif is an exorcist too he does Dua and Tawiz.
