MIRACLE IN SHAH TALAI

It is told Baba Ji came to Bachhretu Mahadev from Kurukshetra where he had come with saints at the time of Solar Eclipse. There after Baba Ji came to Shaha Talai and met 'Ratno Mai' - the epitome of 'Dwapra's old woman' who had guided 'Mahakaul Baba Ji'. Thus Baba Ji was to compensate but that old woman had done for Him in 'Dvapra Yuga'. So Baba Ji took the most inconvenient work of Ratno Mai i.e. cow-grazing.

 

Tapsya Sathali of Sidh Shri Baba Balak Nath Ji  -  Shah Talai

BabaJi made his shelter below a Banyan Tree. He told Ratno Mai he would meditate below Banyan Tree and graze the cows side by side. He asked her to leavethe bread and 'Lassi' (mashed curd) for Him there for taking after meditation. Baba Ji committed with Ratno Mai to work for her so long she would remain satisfied. Everything remained smooth till twelve years. People startedcomplaining the damage to crop field by the cows by the end of 12th year.
 

Shah Talai Temple Ratno Mai used to ignore such complaints; but the complaint of village head man broke the patience of Ratno Mai and she started rebuking Baba Ji. At this, Baba Ji took Ratno Mai and village head man to the field and on spot there was no damage at all. Everybody was taken aback by this miracle. 
 

BabaJi came back to His place of worship and asked Ratno Mai to take back her cows and let Him go His way. Ratno Mai out of motherly affection/attachment tried to persuade Baba Ji and reminded Him about her providing Bread and Lassi for 12 years Baba Ji responded that that had been coincidental and further affirmed that coincidence would always be predestined. Baba Ji further told that He has kept all the Bread and Lassi safely as He never used them. By saying that Baba Ji threw away His 'Chimata' on the stem of Banyan Tree and the breads supplied for 12 years came out. He further forcibly threw the same 'Chimata' on the earth and spring of Lassi started coming out taking the shape of a pond and the place came to be known as'Shaha Talai'.

 
Vat Vriksh Tapo Bhoomi  The word later the 'Hollow of Banyan Tree'. Nearby is a temple having the images of Baba Balak Nath, Guga Chauhan and Nahar Singh Ji. The soil of this placeis used as anti-worm for cattle-foot diseases.
 
Interaction with Guru Gorak Nath  On Baba Ji's stance for going away from Shahatalai, Ratno Mai repented for her ignorance and got moved. On seeing all this Baba Ji kindfully told Ratno Mai that He would worship in forest land and she could see Him there. He established His 'Dhuna' below a 'Garna Jhari' (a thorny bush) about half kilometer from Shah Talai.Guru Gorakh Nath wanted Baba Ji to join His sect and tried for that. Baba Ji was not willing for that. One day Guru Gorakh Nath along with his 300 disciples and asked Baba Ji for providing them seating. Baba Ji spread His towel and surprisingly a portion of that remained unoccupied even after accommodating Guru Gorakh Nath along with his all disciples. Then Gorakh Nath asked Baba Ji to bring some water in a bowl from a nearby hill-bauli.

Shah Talai Temple Gate  Baba Ji found some magic in the bowl when He filled it with water. Thus He under stood the intention of Guru Gorakh Nath. Baba Ji made that bauli disappear by His Sidhi and told Gorakh Nath about the non-existence of the bauli. Gorakh Nath asked his disciple Bhartri hari to accompany Baba Ji to verify the fact. 
 
Bhartrihari was taken aback by the non-existence of the bauli. Baba Ji told Bhartrihari the factual position and further emphasized the imprudence of Gorakh Nath for shunning the worship of 'Lord Shiva' and in its place recommending his own adoration. Bhartrihari understood the whole game and got lost in devotion to Lord Shiva. This time also, Baba Ji returned without water.Then Gorakh Nath sent Bhairon Nath to bring Bhartrihari back along with water. Bhairon Nath couldn't spot the water and came empty handed without water and Bhartrihari. Thereafter Gorakh Nath asked Baba Ji to serve them milk. Baba Ji called a non-milking barren cow and patted her. The cow started milking and everybody took milk. Amazingly there was still lot of milk in the bowl.
Garuna Jhari Temple   Gorakh Nath threw his worshipping skin to sky and asked Baba Ji to bring back to the earth. Baba Ji aimed the skin with His 'Chimata' and pieces of skin fell on earth. At this, Baba Ji tempted Gorakh Nath to bring Baba Ji's Chimata' back to the earth. Gorakh Nath asked Bhairon to do the same, which Bhairon couldn't.
 
Reaching to Deoth Sidh and Cave Dwelling  After getting defeat in every feat, Gorakh Nath directed his disciples to forcibly put rings in the ears of Baba Ji. Every disciple became faint before doing so. During that struggle Baba Ji made a loud cry and reached a place where 'Charan Paduka' temple is situated. From 'Charan Paduka', Baba ji went to a Caveon the Hill. A demon came out of the Cave and warned Baba Ji to go away. Baba Ji, by His 'sidh-shakti' forced the demon to vacate the Cave for BabaJi's meditation.

Charan Paduka  The demon understood the state of affairs and went away. Then Baba Ji settled there for meditation. Bhartrihari also settled for meditation near that Cave. One day, a Brahamin named as 'Banarasi' from the nearby village Chakmoh came to that area for grazing his cows. Baba Ji appeared before him and interacted. Brahamin told Baba Ji about his barren cows. Baba Ji asked where his cows were. Brahamin took Baba Ji to the place where his cows were grazing. Surprisingly only loins and tigers were there.

Dhoona of Baba Ji   After seeing the stunning posture of Brahamin, Baba Ji asked him to call his cows. Astonishingly, as the Brahamin called, his cows reached him. Seeing the miracle, Brahamin became the devotee of Baba Ji. Brahamin continued to see Baba Ji. One day Baba Ji told him that He would disappear one dayand asked the Brahamin to continue the tradition of 'Dhuna' and worshipping. Brahamin followed the point and maintained the tradition.
 
A lamp remained lighted near Baba Ji whose light spread far away in the nearby villages. Thus people had started calling Baba Ji as 'Baba Deoth Sidh' and later on the place became famous as 'Baba Deoth Sidh'.
