"19th century mural from Takht Sri Hazoor Sahib. (Pic. NN Singh & P Singh) Showing Guru Hargobind Sahib meeting Mata Sulakhani. Mata Ji called out to Guru Ji, “it has been said there are no children in my destiny, Oh thou with the beautiful beard and white turban, rewrite my destiny” Guru Sahib took a pen and began to write the number 1, his horse moved suddenly and the 1 became a 7. Mata Ji was blessed with seven sons, who gave their all for the Panth." (@moomjamma description)
