Both Hindus as well as Muslims used to flock to Maniknagar. Muharram and Gyarahvi (the death anniversary of Mahaboob Subhani) were celebrated with as much enthusiasm as the Hindu festivals. Consequently many Peers, (Muslim saints) came to visit Maniknagar to have Shri Prabhu’s Darshan and seek his blessings.
The fifth Nizam of Hyderabad Meer Afzaluddula was childless. He was aware of Shri Prabhu’s divine powers. He was advised by his noblemen that he should seek Shri Prabhu’s blessings for progeny. The Nizam sent one of his noblemen Apparao Arab to Maniknagar with a gift of a Jageer for Shri Prabu worth Sixty thousand rupees in lieu of Prasad (blessing) for a child. |
