DescriptionPali- Shri Ballaleshwar.jpg |
This is story of Krityuga in the country Sindhu. In the village of Pali there was a businessman called Kalyan & his wife Indumati. They had a son Ballal who was a staunch devotee of Ganpati. Along with other children Ballal used to worship with small stones being treated as Gods. Once the children went outside the village & saw a big stone. At the insistence of Ballal, the children treated the stone as Ganpati & started worshipping. All of them got so engrossed that they forgot about hunger & thirst or about day or night. Their parents were waiting for the children at their homes. When the children did not return on time, they all went to Kalyan's house and complained about Ballal. Kalyan seth become furious took a stick and went in search of children. He saw children listening Ganesh purana outside the village. In rage he broke the small temples built by the children who fled away. Ballal was caught by his father submerged in meditation and beaten until he bleed. His father tied him to a tree and smashed all pooja materials collected by the children. He threw away the big stone which children treated as Ganpati. "Let me see which God protects you now" saying this he went home. Ballal started entreating Vinayaka. Lord Ganpati was moved by the childs devotion and appeared in the form of a Brahmin before Ballal & helped him. Ballal's thirst hunger vanished, wounds were healed & he felt a new vigour moving in his body. He prostrated before the Brahmin whom he recognised as Gajanan & worshipped him. Ganpati told Ballal to ask for a boon. Ballal said " Let me have unshaken devotion towards you. You must stay at this place & remove the miseries of the people, who come to you." Ganesh said, "I shall forever remain here in this form, I will take your name before mine & be called as Ballal Vinayak." Then he embraced Ballal & vanished into the nearby stone. Then the stone cured from the breakings. Though he was affected by pain, hunger and thirst, he kept on chanting the name of Gajanan till he fainted. That Ganesh that he worshiped is called Ballaleshwar. This particular Ganesha is very mysterious in form and has a very powerful and penetrant look. The idol seems to be quite popular and the temple in Pali is one of the biggest of the 8. |
