About Shri Jhulelal Ji
Also called Lal Sai, Uderolal, Varun Dev, Doolhalal, Dariyalal or Zinda Pir refers to two interwoven legends in the Sindh, in Pakistan which bring together the Hindu and the Islamic traditions of the region in popular folklore. Jhulelal is the Ishta Dev (community God) of Sindhi people. Jhulelal continues to be the unifying force and the centre of all cultural activities of the Sindhi community. The word Sindhi is derived from the River Sindhu (now River Indus in Pakistan). When Sindhi men venture out to sea their women pray to him for their safe return. They offer the Lord a prasad of akha, a sweet made from rice, ghee, sugar and flour. Sindhis all over the world greet each other with the words, \"Jhulelal Bera-Hee-Paar\".
Sindhi Hindus regard him to be an incarnation of Hindu God Varuna. He lived around the 10th Century A.D.(950). Hindu Sindhis also wrote a modified prayer, O Lal Meri Pat Rakhiyo Bala Jhule Lalan... to praise this God. This poem was adapted from Sufi Saint Baba Bulleh Shah in honour of the most revered Sufi Saint of Sindh, Shahbaz Qalandar of Sehwan Sharif, near Larkana, Pakistan, who worked for Hindu-Muslim unity in Sindh. After forty days of Chaliho, the followers of Jhulelal even today celebrate the occasion with festivity as Thanksgiving Day.
