Maharaz Jee left his body on 11 November 1987. He left behind a hukum nama (direct order) stating that his successor would be Her Holiness Maharani Pali Darshan Das Jee, Mother of the Mission. In 1978, while praying at the Shishganj Sahib Gurudwara in New Delhi, Maharani Jee had a vision where a supernatural power said to her that she had suffered enough and from henceforth her problems were his. He told her that she did not need to keep travelling to the Gurudwara. “I will come to you”, said the power. Soon afterward, on 16 February 1978, she went to visit Loni Dera (spiritual centre) with her mother where she saw Maharaz Jee and immediately recognised him as the supernatural power she had seen in her vision at the Gurudwara.
Maharani Jee then began to perform service at the Loni Dera. Later on in 1978, in the presence of devotees and holding the Holy Ganga (Ganges) River as a witness, in the town of Haridwar, Maharaz Jee announced that Maharani Jee was his spiritual life partner and said “From now onwards, I share all your joys and sorrows. You will now be known as Pali Vasdev”.
Maharani continued to perform sewa in a selfless manner day and night at the Loni Dera. Acknowledging her true and steadfast devotion to him and dedication to the mission, Maharaz Jee said to her “You are part of my spiritual power”. You are the Mother of Das Dharam because without a mother Das Dharam is incomplete”. It was then that he changed her name from Pali Vasdev to Maharani Pali Darshan Das. She is the only person to whom Maharaz Jee gave his own name.
Maharani treated everyone equally and as her own. She did not differentiate between devotees; she loved everyone as her own and treated everyone with respect. Time and again we hear from those near to her that she had no worldly attachments. She did not seek anything for herself; everything she sought was always for the mission. In the end, Maharaz Jee bestowed honour, total love and affection to our beloved Maharani Jee, the Mother of our mission.
Maharani Jee was the head and patron of the mission Sachkhand Nanak Dham International for 27 years before she left her body on the 13 August 2015. In future newsletters we will continue the stories of both Maharaz Jee and Maharani Jee as Father and Mother of the mission.

Maharani Jee’s Hukum Nama (Direct Order) to the Sangat and Her Last Wishes
This is our beloved Maharani’s Jee’s last Direct Order to the sangat (congregation).
My dear loving members of Maharaz Jee’s sangat (congregation), today I would like to address you on our mission, because life is uncertain, and no one knows when it may come or go. In my true self and under no duress or coercion, I declare that the next mission patronship goes to Rai Bahadur Kartar Singh, son of Das Inderjit Singh. This is my order and you have to obey it.
I am informing you of this because in my experience (and what has happened to me over the past 27 years) no one truly followed Maharaz Jee’s Hukum Namas (direct orders) anywhere. They were not followed by Maharaz Jee’s most trusted and faithful Das Jees in whom Maharaz Jee had deep trust in terms of spreading the mission. Instead they opened their own preaching shops under different names, and yet claimed that they were Maharaz Darshan Das Jee’s devotees. Today after much reflection, I have chosen a Patron who will tread in Maharaz Jee’s footsteps with honesty, bravery and humanity. He will give time and love to all sangat members and will forge ahead with further building the mission. This is my wish for him. I am not able to give this duty to a double-minded person or a person I do not trust. You are all well aware of my 27 years of progressive dedication and total sacrifice for this mission as a woman.
So today I declare to all Sadh Sangat (members of the congregation), whether in America or in London, Das Rai Bahadur Kartar Singh is my successor after my death. This is my order. Had Maharaz Jee’s Hukum Namas been understood and followed, where he had indicated that Maharani is Das Dharam’s “Mata” (Mother) and he is “Pita” (Father), today I would have had numerous loyal children surrounding me.
I have full faith in my trustees that during this trying period, they will not do anything against my order. I am proud of Darshan Das’s Dera (in Birmingham) and it is my last wish that it should not go into the hands of the opposition; I have put my blood and sweat into this Dera.
I have travelled from home to home relentlessly reciting Maharaz Jee’s name. Maharaz Jee said to me as he was leaving for London “Your duty is to preach my message and my Naam in every corner, alley and household”. So Sadh Sangat Jee, my India Sangat is witness to this as we did sewa together. I stood bravely and with courage as instructed by Maharaz Jee. For any of my shortcomings and mistakes, I ask for the Sangat’s forgiveness.
The above is my steadfast Hukum (order) without any change. Where ever the various committees are working, they should do so in unity and love, with complete trust and faith. It is my wish that you all be happy and that Maharaz Jee blesses you with his grace. This is from the heart of a Mother and a Mother’s voice.
I used to tell Maharaz Jee, that his fragrance should be emitted from every plant and leaf. Yet who recites his name today? Who says that they want to take the name of Darshan Das to greater heights? A sewak came to me once and appeared sad. I asked him whose name he was promoting. Are you promoting the name of the person where you do sewa, or that of Maharaz Jee who touched souls and blessed all with the spiritual path to the Lord’s house?
This Dera (Loni Dera) was constructed for the unity of mankind, and Maharaz Jee worked hard on its construction. Thereafter, I carried on with his instructions. He said Biba “You have to do our mission work because you know everything”. This was the Hukum Nama which I do not have with me now. The Hukum Nama was written as: “My dear Pali, come forward, this mission has to be taken ahead and “Biba” you come forward and help me. Nanak Patshaa will bless you and I am always with you”.
