Story of Khatushyamji

_{The story of Shree Khatu Wale Shyam ji is as follows. Here you will see how Khatu Shyam ji created his Leela and descended his head from Shyam Kund near Khatu Shyam temple. Jai Ho Aapki Khatu Shyam ji In Khatwa Nagari (Khatu Dham), a cow which used to graze on grass daily used to stand on a part of the ground every day. From her udders, the stream of self-milk used to get absorbed into the earth, as if someone is drinking the milk of that cow mother from inside the ground. After coming home, when the owner of the cow tried to extract his milk, he could not get the cow’s milk. This sequence continued for many days. The cow owner thought that there must be someone who takes out the milk of his cow. One day that cow owner chased that cow. When he saw this sight in the evening, his eyes were amazed at this miracle. Cow mother’s milk started pouring into the earth on its own. The cow owner went to the village Rajan with astonishment and told the whole story. The king and his assembly did not believe at all on this matter. But the king wanted to know what was the matter. The king came to that land with some of his ministers and saw that the owner of the cow was speaking right. He asked some of his people to dig that part of the land. As soon as the part of the land started being dug, a voice came from that earth, oh slowly dig, here is my head. I was a brave barbaric in the Mahabharata period and I donated my head to Lord Krishna, as a result, I have got the boon of being worshiped in Kaliyuga, digging my head will get my head from that land and you will have to build my Khatu Shyam temple. When the king woke up in the morning, keeping in mind the matter of dream, started Kudai again, and then soon the head of Kaliyuga Dev Shree Shyam descended from that earth.}

^{THE HISTORY OF KHATU SHYAM JI TEMPLE}

^{According to Hindu mythology, before the battle of Mahabharata began, Barbarika’s prowess was unrivalled. He had made the decision to favour the weaker side in order to remain just, a decision that would have resulted in the annihilation of both sides, leaving only Barbarika as the sole survivor. To avoid such disastrous consequences, Shree Krishna is said to have asked Barbarika for his head (sheesh daan), to which he readily agreed. Shree Krishna was so moved by Barbarika’s devotion and great sacrifice that he granted him a boon, according to which Barbarika would be known by Krishna’s own name, Shyam Ji, in the Kaliyug (present times) and worshipped in his own form.}

THE KHATU SHYAM MANDIR IS BEING BUILT IN RAJASTHAN

^{Shree Krishna blessed Barbarika’s head and drowned it in the Rupawati River after the battle. Once the kaliyug began, the head was discovered buried in the village of Khatu in Rajasthan, at a previously unknown location. When a cow was crossing the burial point, her udders began spontaneously spouting milk. Surprising villagers dug the site, and the buried head was discovered. The then-Khatu king, Roopsingh Chauhan, had a dream in which he was asked to install the head inside} ^{temple. This was the time when the temple was built and the head was placed inside.}
