Kambar Darbar: A Sacred Legacy of Sindh

Sain Vali Vilayatrai: The Embodiment of Supreme Knowledge

As noted by Padam Shri Professor Shri Ram Panjwani in his book Sindh Ja Sant, Sain Vali Vilayatrai was one of the most revered saints of Sindh. He manifested on Janmashtami night in 1825, and astonishingly, foretold the date of his departure from this world nearly a year in advance.

His spiritual power was so immense that devotees would enter a trance merely by meeting his gaze. One glance from him could liberate souls. A remarkable incident mirrors the story of Rishi Markandeya from the Shrimad Bhagwatam, who witnessed the Lord’s Maya. Similarly, a devotee Bhai Lilaram burdened by sixty years of sin was instantly absolved by Vali’s divine grace. He was the epitome of Gnan—Supreme Knowledge.

Sain Jiwatsingh Sainani: From Worldly Pleasures to Bhakti Marg

Born in Kambar, Sain Jiwatsingh was initially immersed in worldly pleasures. Yet, a single glance from Sain Vilayatrai transformed him into one of Sindh’s most humble and powerful saints. His devotion to his Guru and to Bhagwan Krishna was unwavering. He emphasized Bhakti and the chanting of Parmatma’s name, composing over a hundred and twenty five Kalaams in praise of his Guru and Krishna. Like his Guru, he too announced his departure a year in advance.

Sain Vishindas Sainani: The Karam Yogi

From childhood, Sain Vishindas displayed the qualities of a truly enlightened soul. He inherited the spiritual legacy of both Sain Vilaytrai and Sain Jiwatsingh. A true Karma Yogi, he dedicated his life to selfless Seva, always attributing reverence to his Satgurus and never allowing anyone to touch his feet. He announced his departure 40 days in advance, continuing the tradition of divine foresight.

The Establishment of Kambar Darbar

Kambar Darbar was founded in the village of Kambar by Sain Jiwatsingh in sacred memory of his Satguru, Sain Vilayatrai, who later made Kambar his final abode. Upon Sain Vilaytai’s departure in 1987, Sain Jiwatsingh constructed his Samadhi there, and the site became known as Sain Vali Vilayatrai’s Darbar.

Later, Sain Jiwatsingh’s Samadhi was built adjacent to Vali’s by Sain Vishindas. When Sain Vishindas left his mortal body, his Samadhi was added to the same podium by the trustees.

The Journey to India

Adi Chainibai, lovingly known as Adi Darbar Wari, took care of Dabar after Sain Vishindas left this world. As the devotees who had migrated to India after the partition insisted that she must migrate too, so she migrated to India. With the help of Shri Hari Dilgir, a respected civil engineer and renowned Sindhi poet, she took a portion of sacred ash from the Samadhis in Kambar. Similar majestic Samadhis were constructed in a serene location in Kandivli, Mumbai.

Kambar Darbar in Kandivli, Mumbai

Spread across a large plot in Kandivli, the Darbar comprises four buildings. The main Darbar building has three rooms:

• The first houses the Guru Granth Sahibji.
• The middle room enshrines the three Samadhis of the Satgurus.
• The third room displays large portraits of the Satgurus, Sain Vishindas’ Sukshma Sareer(Phul), Mata Sahib’s Phul and picture, Dadi Gopi Sahib’s Phul and picture, Dadi Kamla Sahib’s picture, and a life-size image of Shrinathji.

A spacious Otla (Thalla) connects the rooms and serves as the venue for Satsangs and spiritual programs.

Expansion and Facilities

Block A, adjacent to the Darbar, initially had a few rooms. As the number of devotees grew, Blocks C and D were added. In 2008, Block E was constructed to house a well-planned medical center.

Together, the buildings offer over 100 rooms to accommodate guests from across India and countries like the USA, UK, Spain, New Zealand, UAE, Singapore, and more. The 3-day Diwali Mela attracts over a thousand devotees, making it a truly grand celebration.

Hospitality and Seva

Every effort is made to ensure the comfort of the Sangat. Tea and Langar—including breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are served with immense love. There are no charges for any service, and donations are never solicited.

There are no signboards asking for donations. Yet, contributions flow abundantly, guided purely by devotion. If someone wishes to donate for a specific cause, they are respectfully guided—without expectation.

Literature and Medical Services

Biographies (Jeevan Charitra) of the Satgurus are available in Arabic Sindhi, Devanagari Sindhi, Hindi, and English. Sain Jiwatsingh Sahib’s Kalaams are available in Arabic and Devanagari Sindhi, with meanings. All books are distributed free of charge.

The charitable dispensary offers OPD and specialized medical services at minimal fees, among the lowest in similar trusts. Many doctors, highly specialized in their fields, have remained associated with the Darbar for years—drawn by its spirit of selfless service and humility, as taught by the Satgurus.
