mehandipur bala ji
There was a dense forest here in Mehandipur. There were dense bushes, wild animals like lion, leopard, baghera etc. lived in the forest. There was fear of thieves and robbers in this village. The ancestors of Baba Mahant Ji Maharaj had a dream and in the dream state they got up and walked away, not knowing where they were going. In his dream state he saw a unique leela –
Thousands of lamps are burning from one side. The sounds of elephants and horses are coming. A very big army is coming, that army saluted Shri Balaji Maharaj Ji, Shri Bhairo Baba, Shri Pretaraj Sarkar and the army left on the same route by which it came. And Gosai Maharaj was standing there watching everything. He felt a little scared and went towards his village. After going home he tried to sleep but he could not sleep and started thinking about the same dream again and again.As soon as he fell asleep. The same three idols appeared, a huge temple appeared and the same voice started coming in his ears and someone was saying to him, Son, get up and take the burden of my service and worship. I will expand my pastimes. And I will show my powers in Kaliyuga. Who was saying that no one was seen at night?This time too, Gosai Ji Maharaj did not pay attention to this. Finally, Shri Balaji Maharaj appeared and said, Son, worship me. Next day, Gosai Ji Maharaj got up and went near the idols. He saw that bells, gongs and drums were being rung from all sides. Sound was coming but nothing was visible. After this Gosai Maharaj came down and gathered people around him and told about his dream. The people who were gentlemen together made a small Tiwari.People made arrangements for the food and Balaji Maharaj showed many miracles to them. Those evil people did not understand anything. From where the idol/deity of Shri Bala Ji Maharaj came out, people looked at it and thought that it was some art. So that idol disappeared again, then when people asked for forgiveness from Shri Bala Ji Maharaj, those idols started appearing.There is a pond at the feet of the idol of Shri Bala Ji Maharaj. Whose water never ends. The secret is that a fine stream of water continuously flows from the hole near the heart of Shri Balaji Maharaj. Devotees get sprinkled with the same water.
The water stream does not stop even after wearing a cloak. In this way all three gods were established, Shri Bala Ji Maharaj Ji, Pretraj Sarkar, Bhairo Baba and the Samadhi Baba were established later. Shri Balaji Maharaj had given personal darshan to Gosai Ji Maharaj. At that time a king was ruling. It was Baba who was in Samadhi who told the king about his dream. The king could not believe it.The king looked at the statue and said, “This is some art.” Due to this Baba’s idol went inside. So the king got the idol excavated but still no trace of the idol was found. Then the king accepted defeat and asked for forgiveness from Baba and said, O Shri Bala Ji Maharaj, we are ignorant and foolish, we could not recognize your power, please consider us as your child and forgive us. Then the idols of Balaji Maharaj came out.After the idols came out, the king believed Gosai Ji Maharaj’s words, and ordered Gosai Ji Maharaj to take charge of the puja. The king built a huge temple of Shri Bala Ji Maharaj Ji.
Gosai Ji Maharaj worshiped Shri Balaji Maharaj Ji for many years, when Gosai Ji Maharaj reached old age, he took Samadhi on the orders of Shri Balaji Maharaj.
He prayed to Shri Bala Ji Maharaj, that Shri Bala Ji Maharaj, I have one wish that my descendants should bear the burden of your service and worship. From then till today, Gosai Ji Maharaj’s family is taking charge of the puja. Bala ji had appeared here about 1000 years ago. Before now 11 Mahant ji have served in Balaji. This is how Balaji was established.
These are the incarnations of Kaliyuga, they are the trouble-shooters. There are very few people in trouble in the area around Mehandipur. Because people have a lot of faith in Balaji. It is said – Balaji Maharaj solves the problems of those who have faith in their heart.
