Bullock cart story:
It is said that once near the Samadhi of the shaheed Baba Nihal Singhji the sugar canes were grown by the sons of Sardar Gulab Singh, Attar Singh and Watan Singh, the residents of village Tallan. After the crop was ready, the owner of the sugar cane crop brought the bullock cart and parked the same at the samadhi of Shaheeds. He also tied the bullocks at the nearby placeAfter cutting the crop, he loaded the bullock cart with the sugar canes. When they wanted to leave with the crop the bullocks could not move. The additional bullocks force was added, but the cart could not move. Thereafter, the crop was removed from the cart. The cart was then taken away from the place of samadhi and again loaded with sugar canes. Now the bullocks could easily carry the load without any difficulty. The owner then understood the mistake, begged excuse from Babaji and became true disciple.
Stay of Naanga Sadhu at Tapasthan :

stay. But the Sadhu did not hear anyone and stayed for the night. However, in the morning Sadhu was found in very bad condition with his body full of dirt. When the Sadhu was asked about the reason of his bad condition, he explained that at this sacred place only a Godly person who is having full faith in God can stay.
Water Bucket Story :
During the time of Baba Harnam Singhji, the people used to drink water from the well provided at Tapasthan. Babaji himself used to do the water service. However, a bucket and a rope was provided at the well side so that anybody can take out water at any time for quenching his thirst. Once Shri Niranga a muslim by caste of Madhopur village stole the water bucket, but when he went to Baiin river for fetching water, used to become blind. However, when he returns, he can see again. Similarly when he goes to Madhopur village, he will againbecome blind and when he returns he can see again. After experiencing, he realized his mistake and returned the bucket.

Construction of Cow Shed :
Sardar Wazir Singh son of Sardar Narain Singh of village Tallan once thought of constructing animal feed shed near the Samadhi. When this fact was known to the people, they advised him not to do so as this act is not good because it will spoil the sanctity of the place of Shaheeds. When he refused to act on the advice of the people, they warned him of dire consequences.
However, Sardar Wazir Singh got the animal feed shed constructed near the Samadhi and was very happy to do so.
Within few days he started suffering from a serious disease of eyes. His vision started diminishing rapidly day by day. He consulted various doctors but did not get any relief. Even the eye specialists could not help him and the medicines failed to cure him.
At last a learned old man of the village advised Sardar Wazir Singh to demolish the animal feed shed immediately and construct the same at a place away from Samadhi and also beg excuse from Babaji. This proposal was easy and acceptable to him. As such he immediately demolished the shed and shifted it to far away place from the Samadhi and begged excuse from Babaji from the core of his heart. He further devoted himself for spreading the teachings of Bababji and became his true disciple. Thereafter, his eye disease was cured and vision became normal within few days.

When he was about to drive his bullock cart over the Samadhi, his companion advised him to go through the side of Samadhi as it is not good and we should pay respect to Shaheeds. Sardar Khajana Singh did not believe in the existence of Shaheeds and told that he will carry his bullock cart over the Samadhi. He further, said that he will see when Babaji breaks his leg and did not hear to the advice given by his companion.
He crossed over the Samadhi in his bullock cart safely but when he reached near the Ram Ram pond of his village fell down from his cart and got fracture in his leg.
