JAGAT GURU SHRI HEER VIJAY SURI
On way to Gujarat Suriji came in contact with many Muslim rulers. They were highly impressed with the miraculous power of his austerities and oration. They became his devotees and launched many welfare projects.
Deeds of benevolence bring
inner peace.
Khankhana said
Suriji once visited Medta when Khankhana, the son of Behramkhan# was camping there. When he saw ascetics coming he asked
Oh! Heer Vijaya Suri,
the guru of Emperor Akbar ... I would like to pay
homage to him.
Who are you and where are you
going?
We are the disciples of Heer Vijaya Suri and are on our way to
Gujarat from Fatehpur Sikri.
# The brave commander of Akbar's father, Humayun. He was instrumental in Akbar's ascension to the throne. Later, Akbar imprisoned him for his revolt.
