MATA RAJ KAUR JI, wife of SHRI RAM RAI JI(SHRI GURU HAR RAI JI's son ), got upset with her husband & came from Dehradun to Manimajra & stayed here. RAM RAI JI had changed a verse in Baani in order to please Aurangzeb, where in place of " Mitti Musalmaan Di" was changed to " Mitti Be-Imaan Di". MATA RAJ KAUR JI was a great follower of SHRI GURU NANAK DEV JI & Guru Ghar. MATA RAJ KAUR JI was not able to bear the disrespect & left RAM RAI JI and came to Manimajra. After coming to Manimajra, MATA RAJ KAUR JI did lot of worship & people became followers of MATA JI. Once during rainy season, when beam of MATA RAJ KAUR JI's house started to collapse, MATA JI sent one of her follower to a wealthy person Bhaara Mall & who told Bhaara mall that beam of MATA JI's house is about to collapse & MATA JI has asked to get a pillar put underneath the beam. Bhaara Mall did not pay any attention to this. Then MATA JI sent her follower to Garibu Jatt. Garibu Jatt cut a the trunk of a Ber tree & placed it underneath the beam overnight. MATA JI got pleased with his service & asked him for his wish. Garibu requested with folded hands that his generations to come should not become a subject of the King but they should become Kings. MATA JI gave him a boon that he will become a King & Bhaara Mall will be a tenant under him. With the boon of MATA RAJ KAUR JI, Garibu Jatt became a King & Bhaara Mall a tenant.
