Hazrat Sheikh Bahauddin Ganj Bakhsh Kashmiri(R.A)is the famous Wali Kamil of Kashmir Valley. He was in the time of Sultan Zainul Abidin (Badshah). Hazrat Sheikh Sultan Kashmiri (R. A) , Hazrat Syed Muhammad Madani (R.A), Hazrat Sheikh Nooruddin Noorani (R.A), Mir Syed Hussain Qazi Shirazi(R.A)and Hazrat Haji Baba Adham(R.A)are contemporaries and companions. He is trained by Hazrat Khawaja Ishaq Khatlani(R.A)(who was the son-in-law and caliph of Hazrat Amir Kabir Mir Syed Ali Hamdani(R.A). He belongs to the Kubrawiyah Silsila. He was already blessed with Sufi knowledge from birth.
From his childhood, divine love prevailed over him. He preferred to stay away from people. Therefore, for many years, he used to recite the Qur’an in a hut under the heart. He went to Khatlan(R.A)with esoteric guidance. Where Hazrat Khawaja Ganj Bakhsh(R.A)stayed in the company of Hazrat Khawaja Ishaq Khatlani(R.A)After that, he went to Multan(R.A)Wherever he visited the holy shrine of Hazrat Makhdoom Bahauddin Zakaria Multanias(R.A)soon as he visited it, Arbab-e-Baseerat saw that the blessed hand of Hazrat Makhdoom Multani(R.A)burst from his shrine and shook hands with Hazrat Khawaja Ganj Bakhsh(R.A). Hazrat Haji Baba Adham Sahib(R.A)says that when I was in the service of Bahauddin Ganj Bakhsh(R.A), I saw that he had reached the highest place in heaven and power.
The resurrection of the son of a baker increased the fame of Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin Ganj Baksh(R.A)and became famous among the devotees. It is said that Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin Ganj Baksh(R.A)had built a hut of reeds under the Zaina Kadal bridge and spent his time in it in meditation, worship, and struggle. One day Zayn al-‘Abidin came to meet him and asked him to get on my boat and enjoy a short walk on the river. He did not agree, but the Sultan insisted. On this Hazrat spread his prayer mat on water and boarded on it and floated so fast on the river that though some boatmen of the Sultan tried hard to catch him, yet they could not reach him. After this he told Sultan “We have made you the king of our time and I have given you innumerable treasures. ”
It was not long before Sultan Zayn al-Abidin overcame his brother Ali Shah to become king. That is why Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin was called Ganj Baksh(R.A)
There are many such miracles. One-night Hazrat Khawaja Ganj Baksh(R.A)was sitting under a tree meditating at Karshabal’s place. A group of thieves came to this place and distributed the stolen property among themselves and when they finished distributing it, they saw Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin Ganj Baksh(R.A). They were afraid in their hearts that the secret might be revealed. They martyred him out of the same fear. At that moment, Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin saw the incident in a dream and hurried to the spot and carried the body of Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin Ganj Baksh(R.A)to the worship room of the Crown.
The miracles of Hazrat Sheikh Bahauddin Sahib are innumerable,
Once only son of a baker who was a disciple of Hazrat Khawaja Ganj Bakhsh who was given to him by Allah through him died in his youth. There was mourning in the house and at the same time, the mother of the deceased son came to the service of Hazrat Khawaja Ganj Bakhsh with a sigh and lamentation and informed him of this unbearable misery. So, they turned to God and gave him the good news that he was alive and asked him to return home. So, when she returned home, she found her dead son alive. And all the mourning in the house turned into joy.
Once a broken and troubled woman came to the service of Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin and talked about the long-term disappearance of her young son and Hazrat Khawaja Ganj Bakhsh came to her rescue. He tried to avoid it but after his constant sighing, he finally took pity on him and Hazrat Khawaja Ganj Bakhsh looked up at the sky and spread his legs. Suddenly, the missing young man fell to the ground in front of Hazrat Khawaja Ganj Bakhsh and his mother saw his son and hugged him. And kept kissing. Later, after inquiring about the whole situation, he found out that a dacoit had taken him far away to his country. And today he was sent to fetch oil from the market. So, he had just left the pot and the shopkeeper was in his hand when suddenly an unseen hand grabbed his neck and brought him here. And from the coins which he had in his hand; he knew in what country it was. As a result, the incident became popular in the city.
It is said that before this incident took place, Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin Ganj Baksh(R.A)had instructed his friends to tie a rope around my feet and drag me to the graveyard after my death. Lovers and friends became obsessed and worried about putting this into practice. Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin made a coffin out of a rope of grass and placed the blessed body of Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin Ganj Baksh(R.A)in it. Then they tied his feet with ropes and dragged him to the tomb and buried him.
