Baba Shah Mastana was a great saint. His name was Khema Mal but for remaining always in meditation, people started calling him Mastana Shah. He was the disciple of Baba Sawan Shah belonging to Radha Swami cult. He was very fond of singing and dancing. When he used to meditate, he started dancing which was against the principles of Radha Swami sect. Baba Sawan Shah asked Shah Mastana to refrain from his habit of dancing as women followers were also among the devitees. Mastana Ji, however, failed to do so and Baba Sawan Shah asked him to dig, khoh wich (jump into the well). Mastana Ji like a sincere pupil jumped into the well. When other followers of Baba Sawan Shah reached the well they found Mastana dancing inti the well. They asked him to come out from the well but Mastana Ji refused to do so until Baba Sawan Shah came to the well and asked him to come out and allowed him to establish his own way of preaching. Since then Baba Mastana set up Sacha Sauda and his followers used to dance when they perform Satsang. Back
