SAI PARUSHAH (1820-1890)

Sai Parushah was born in Rohri in 1920 in the house of Shri Hansraj, who was goldsmith. His first name was Paru. His mother's name was Chandibai. His parents were very religious minded. They had two other sons also - Chandumal and Jethomal. After finishing schooling he joined service, where he was first a policeman and then became the Subedar. Soon he married Gangadevi, the daughter of Jhamandas goldsmith.
One day after finishing his duty he came home and was about to take meals, when a policeman came to tell him that he was wanted by the captain. He went and did the job. When he started to take food, again another messenger came to call him. This ired him, and he went to the Captain and keeping his official dress before him said, " Sir, I am leaving your job, now I shall serve the real Lord." The Captain tried to make him understand but he said he was fed up with the world. He walked down the distance and reached his in-laws, who also rebuked him saying, "Since you have left the job, you are unemployed, so we shall not allow Gangabai to go with you." He requested them, "At least let me see her face for the last time." When his wife came out he said, " Goodbye mother Ganga; farewell to you." Parumal came back to Rohri and sat on a tree in the dargah of Sai Bedal. Thereafter, he spent twenty five years in doing Bhakti under that tree. Now from Parumal he became Parushah.

The title of 'Shah' was given to him by the faqir of Bhit Shah. Paru Shah was a maser of miracles. Sai Vasan Shah was a special disciple of saint Paru Shah. He was always in a state of ecstasy.

This beloved saint of Sind, went the way of all flesh on a Basaint Panchami night in 1890.
