That a royal lady has issued this farman, unless the person underĬonsideration has impressed her greatly. The 4 walls of the harem, but also could interact with (select) peopleĪnd were aware of the developments in the kingdom. This also shows that the Royal ladies were not ONLY confined to She would not go out of her way to grant him thisįavor. The place is associated with Lord Krishna, as per Hindu Mythology.įarman of this nature by Hamida Bano Begum (to confirm the order of Akbar) bestowed to Vithal Rai,īrahmin must have been held in high favor/regard by Hamida Bano Begum, Gokul is a small town in Mathura district of present day Uttar Pradesh state of India. The following is the order/farman of Mughal Emperor Akbar:ġ. There is a farman of Aurangzeb, dated 9th April, 1669, issuing orders for the destruction of idols. But, in 1669, it was taken from there into the protection of Rana Rai Singh of Mewar as, only he was deemed fit who could protect the idol.
Initially, the idol was present and worshipped in Goverdhan in Mathura. Note that this temple is located in the former palace of Maharani Ajabde Bai Sa, First wife of Maharana Pratap.

įarman of Hamida Bano Begum | Discussed at the end of this post. Examples :įarman of Wali Nimat Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum | She gave this farman, as a warning, and asked the official under question to return the Jagir to it's righful owner which was usurped by the Mughal official. In such situations, the commonfolk often sought help from the Mughal ladies, who then issued farmans to redress the grievances of the common petitioners. While discussing Farmans issued by Mughal ladies, he mentioned that many times, the officials ignored the farmans issued by the Emperor and harassed the common folk. This point was also raised by S.A.I Tirmizi, Deputy Director of Historical Archives, Govt. The number of farmans issued by the Emperor to 'protect' the saint prove this assertion. There are several incidents of harassments at the hands of Imperial officials. For this reason, he was harassed by Mughal officials.Įmperor Akbar's officers did NOT always demonstrate the same tolerance as the Emperor, towards other faiths. He was the son of Shri Vallabhacharya & propagated the cult of Krishna Bhakti (devotion to Lord Krishna), which had been started by his father. Saint, whose name was Shri Vithal Rai, was a devotee of Shri Nath Ji, aįorm of Lord Krishna. This is because both of them were devotees of Lord Krishna, and this Baz Bahadur of Malwa(wife - Rani Rupmati),Īkbar and Maharana Pratap were fierce enemies of each other who fought against each other throughout their lives, yet their wives had the same saint as their ' Guru'(religious master) Maharani Ajabde Bai Sa, First Wife of Mewar's Rajput ruler Maharana PratapĮ. Mariam-Uz-Zamani / Harka Bai, First Rajput Wife of Mughal Emperor Akbarī. The disciples of this Brahmin saint include the following people -Ī. This Brahmin was a very famous saint and was the son of Shri Vallabhacharya. Hamida Bano Begum was to confirm the earlier farman ofĪkbar(mentioned in present post) given in same regard, in order to give more weight to the Emperor's order. She had to give the farman because, even after the farmans of the Emperor to this Brahmin, he was harassed by the Mughal officers. and they should allow him to worship as per his custom, keeping the welfare of the Empire in mind.Ī few months back, another farman was posted on the blog, which was granted by the mother of Mughal EmperorĪkbar - Hamida Bano Begum, to the same Brahmin. The Emperor had given clear orders that no one should interfere with this Brahmin as regards his faith etc.

This farman is first in the series of farmans, given by the Emperor to prevent this Brahmin saint - Shri Vithal Rai, from harassment at the hands of Imperial Mughal officers. I am sharing a Farman which was given by Mughal EmperorĪkbar to a Brahmin who lived in the suburbs of Mathura.
