On
Saturday, Shravan Shukla-Navami -Samvat 1811, a miracle transpired. A
Ginthala-Jat farmer of village Asota in district Nagaur of Rajasthan
was ploughing his field. Unexpectedly, the plough was hit by a
particular stony thing and the sound - thlikk ... was created. He dug
up the soil of that place and found an idol covered with sand. His wife
reached there with his lunch packet. The farmer showed the idol to his
wife. She wiped the idol with her sari (dress). The idol was that of
Balaji i.e. Lord Hanuman. They bowed their heads with devotion and
worshipped Lord Balaji. The news of appearance of Lord Balaji spread in
the village Asota immediately. The Thakur of Asota also heard the news.
Balaji ordered him in the dream to send the idol to Salasar in the
Churu district. The same miraculous night, a devotee of Lord Hanuman,
Mohan Dasji Maharaj of Salasar saw Lord Hanuman or Balaji in dream.
Lord Balaji told him about the idol of Asota and immediately sent a
message to Thakur of Asota. The thakur was surprised to know - How
Mohandasji knew minor details without coming to Asota? Lord Hanumanji
had appeared for its utmost devotee-Mohandasji. Certainly it was the
kindness of Lord Balaji bestowed upon his devotee. Mohandasji spent the
most memorable times with Balaji. It is believed that Mohandasji spent
his whole youth with Balaji as a friend and took samadhi(alive burial).
The idol was sent to Salasar and was permanently affixed at the place
known as Salasar Dham.
Dhunia of Mohandas ji is the place where the holy fire lit by great
devotee Mohandas ji is still burning. The devotees take holy ashes
from here. It's in the Balaji temple jai hanuman.
Sri Mohan Mandir is situated near Balaji temple. The footprints of
Mohandasji and Kanidadi are found there. This place is the samadhi
sthal of both holy devotees. The continuous Ramayan reading has been
taking place here from last eight years. In the temple premises of Lord
Balaji, Akhand Hari Kirtan (Chanting of the name of Rama) is
continuing for last 20 years. Such is the miraculous & divine
blessing of Balaji that even birds and squirrels join in the Aarti to
seek the blessings of Lord Hanumanji. This is an unbelievable sight
witnessed by nay devotees.
