The Sada Suhagin Or Mossa Suhagin..

The Sada Suhagin Or Mossa Suhagin.., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

The first time I met a Sada Suhagin I thought he was a eunuch, but being uneducated in the orders of Sufism in India ,, I shot his pictures , we met at Chor Bazar that used to be my Friday early morning flea market haunts,I gave him a silver ring and he offered me plastic beads that he put around my neck I could not refuse , but they were choking me and I was gasping for breath I removed them not in his presence though and the following Friday returned it to him ..he just gave me a smile ... but he mentioned
that you are a Mauliee a true Malang of Ali .. I was not a malang those days nor was I shooting Sufism all this happened many years later.. I did not even know he was a Sada Suhagin.

Than I saw a a Sada Suhagin at Ajmer station many years later with a beard , and in a shalwar kameez , I was too confused and did not shoot him out of respect for his privacy,,.

Than again I met a Sada Suhagin at Haji Malang I shot a lot of pictures and he was dressed as a woman with a beard , he had children too that he had left at his hometown..

Among the Hijra Shamans and Bawas I shot the Sada Suhagin..and than at Nizamuddin Aulia I met Hassan , this young man , he and his friends came to be blessed by me , he touched my feet , he asked me if I was a Malang I said yes, he was from Hoshiarpur Punjab and he informed me his father too was a Sada Suhagin after his death he Hassan became a Sada Suhagin..

I shot a lot of pictures I have hidden from public view , this I am posting for Hassan, at the tea shop, he offered me tea, he was very generous was giving money to the poor , he asked me if I needed money for my fare , or for my needs I told him I was well taken care of .. and he and his disciples escorted me to the bus stop I took a bus back to Juma Masjid to my hotel it cost me Rs 10 ..
Coming here by ricksha cost me Rs 90 from Tughlak Gate ..

I dont know if I will ever meet him.. but he was a good human being..the Sada Suhagin are men married to a higher divinity ...
