DESAN, MAI, a childless woman from a Sandhu Jatt family of Patti in Amritsar district, once approached Guru Hargobind praying for the boon of a child. The Guru advised her to remain content with what God had willed for her, but, as she persisted in her request, he made a prayer for her. Mai Desan, says Gurbilas Chhevin Patshahi, had in course of time seven sons, whose descendants now inhabit the village of Chabba, 8 km south of Amritsar. Gurdwara Sarigrana Sahib at Chabba marks the spot where Mai Desan is believed to have met the Guru.
