Kabul Wali Mai

Kabul wali mai, or the lady from Kabul is the name chroniclers have given to a
woman who rendered devoted service during the digging of the baoli at Goindwal
under the supervision of Guru Amardas. Day after day says Sarup Das Bhalla in
Mahima Prakash, she toiled away at the site,without anyone knowing who she was,
and where she had come from. One day Guru Amar Das told the Sikhs that lady was
from Kabul and that she had by her love of the almighty and duty towards her
husband attained spiritual insight.
An old manuscript Mahima Prakash sri Guru Amar Das and an inscription at
Gurdwara Haveli sahib at Goindwal mention a lady being in charge of the Manji or
Sikh centre at Kabul they give her name to be Mai Sevan.
Unfortunately nothing else is known about such great soul. There are million other
such great souls who through the years have tirelessly, effortlessly worked hard to
uplift sikhs and Sikhism.
