So plan today itself to have the supernatural and supremely
pleasurable darshan of Shri Balaji Maharaj. Going to your home, office or
temple, please Shri Hanuman ji Maharaj that Shri Balaji Maharaj ji should
invite you to his door. Because without his wish no one can go to the door of
Shri Balaji Maharaj.
History
There was a dark forest here in Mehandipur. There were dense
bushes, lion-cheetah, tiger etc. wild animals were lying in the forest. There
was a fear of thieves and robbers in this village. Those who were the ancestors
of Baba Mahant Ji Maharaj, they saw a dream and in the state of dream they got
up and left, they did not know where they were going.
In the state of dreams, he saw a unique leela, thousands of
lamps have been burning from one side. The sounds of elephants and horses are
coming. A very big army is coming, that army bows down to Shri Balaji Maharaj
ji, Shri Bhairon Baba, Shri Pretraj Sarkar, and the army departed from the same
path as the army came. And Gosai Maharaj was standing there watching
everything.
He felt some fear and he went towards his village, after
going home, he started trying to sleep but he could not sleep and started
thinking about the same dream again and again. As soon as he fell asleep. Those
same three idols appeared, a huge temple appeared and the same voice started
coming in their ears and someone was telling them son, get up, take the burden
of my service and worship. I will extend my pastimes. And I will show my powers
in Kali Yuga. Who was saying this, no one appeared in the night.
Gosai ji Maharaj this time also he did not pay attention to
this, in the end Shri Balaji Maharaj appeared and said that son worship me. On
the second day Gosai ji Maharaj got up and reached the idols, he saw bells,
gharials and drums from all around. The sound is coming but nothing is visible,
after this Gosai Maharaj came down and gathered people near him and told about
his dream, people who were gentlemen.
Together they made a small Tiwari, people planned for bhog,
Balaji Maharaj showed them many miracles. The wicked people did not understand
anything. From where the idol/deity of Shri Balaji Maharaj had come out, people
saw it and thought that it was an art. So that idol disappeared again, then
people asked for forgiveness from Shri Balaji Maharaj, then those idols started
appearing.
There is a pool at the feet of the idol of Shri Balaji
Maharaj. Whose water never runs out. The secret is that a small stream of water
flows continuously from the hole near the heart of Shri Balaji Maharaj.
Devotees are splashed with the same water.
Which does not stop the water stream even after offering the
chola. In this way all the three deities were established, Shri Balaji Maharaj
Ji, Pretraj Sarkar, Bhairon Baba and those who are the samadhi Baba were
established later.
Shri Balaji Maharaj had given direct darshan to Gosaiji
Maharaj. At that time the kingdom of a king was going on. Baba, who had
Samadhi, told the king about his dream. The king could not believe it. Seeing
the idol, the king said that this is some art. With this the idol of Baba went
inside. So the king got the excavation done, even then no trace of the idol was
found.
Then the king accepted defeat and asked for forgiveness from
Baba and said, "Shri Balaji Maharaj, we are ignorant, we are fools, we
could not recognize your power, forgive us considering us as your
children." Then the idols of Balaji Maharaj came out. After the idols came
out, the king believed the words of Gosai ji Maharaj, and ordered Gosai ji
Maharaj to take charge of the worship.
Balaji appeared here about 1000 years ago. Before now, 11
Mahants have served in Balaji. This is how Balaji was established. These are
the incarnations of Kalyug, they are Sankat Mochan, 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 removes the troubles of those who have faith
in their mind.
Appearance
Shri Mehandipur Balaji Maharaj Ji's Dham is very holy and wondrous. In Kali Yuga, Shri Balaji Maharaj is the only one in the form of the main deity. This place is famous as Shri Mehandipur Balaji in District Dausa (Rajasthan).
Which is situated between two hills, hence being between two
hills, it is also called Ghata Mehandipur Balaji. Hanuman ji is present here in
the form of a child. Here Shri Balaji Maharaj, Shri Bhairav Baba ji and Shri
Pretraj Sarkar ji are seated directly.
In front of the court of Shri Balaji Maharaj is the court of
Shri Sitaram ji. Shri Balaji Maharaj always keeps having darshan of Mata Sita
ji and Shri Ram ji. Here Shri Balaji Maharaj removes every crisis of his
devotees. Baba Ji fulfills all the wishes of the devotees who apply here with a
sincere heart. At some distance from the court of Shri Ram Darbar Ji, there is
the Samadhi Sthal of Shri Ganeshpuri Ji.
Balaji was a worshiper from the childhood of Maharaj ji and
the first Mahant Gosai ji had also had a dream and gave the burden of his
service. 11 He became Mahant Shri Ganesh Puri, whom we know by the name of Baba
of Samadhi, and the Dham expanded during his tenure.
Whose name was Shri Shri Ganeshpuri Ji Goswami. Any devotee
goes to the court of Shri Balaji Maharaj with true heart and sincere devotion.
Shri Balaji Maharaj Ji never sends them empty at his own rate.
Whether there is any kind of obstruction of ghosts, insanity, epilepsy, paralysis, TB, infertility or any other disease, it gets removed very quickly by the grace of Shri Balaji Maharaj. Although we are living in the age of physical science, but by coming in the place of Shri Balaji, you will forget everything and become a devotee of Shri Charan with whole body and mind. As it is said - "Atheists also become believers, in Mehdipur Dham"
As we all devotees know that devotee Shiromani Shri Balaji
Maharaj does not see rules or regulations. Shri Balaji Maharaj ji sees the
emotion of our mind. As nowadays we get to see on Facebook and other websites
that we should do this, should we not do this? Devotees, without paying
attention to all this, you just take the name of Shri Ram ji in your mind. And
come to the door of Shri Balaji Maharaj. There all the troubles are cut in a
moment. Our Shri Balaji Maharaj Ji is very kind. For him, all the devotees are
the same whether they are coming to Balaji Dham for the last 50 years or have
