 * -IMPORTANCE OF SHAKTI PEETH

IN OUR COUNTRY, THERE ARE MANY PLACES TO WORSHIP AND CRORES OF FOLLOWERS BELIEF IS ATTACHED WITH THE SAME , BUT OF THEM 51 MAJORN SHAKTI PEETHS ARE THERE WHOSE PERSONA IS DIFFERENT THEN OTHERS , AS PER HINDU MYTHOLOGY WHEN LORD SHIVA WAS COMMUTING AFTER DOING TANDAV IN ANGER , AT THAT TIME LORD VISHNU TO STOP THE PLANETS FROM GETTING IT DESTROYED BY THE ANGER OF LORD SHIVA , USED HIS SUDARSHAN CHAKRA AND DUE TO THE SAME THE BODY PARTS OF DEVI SATI WERE CUT IN 51 PIECES , AND WHEREVER SUCH BODY PARTS WERE FALLEN , THE PLACES ARE KNOWN AS SHAKTEEPTH. IN SUCH SHAKTI PEETHS IF LORD GANESHA AND DEVI IS WORSHIPPED THEN IT WOULD BE BENEFICIARY FOR ALL THE DEVOTEES.


 * -MAJOR SHAKTI PEETH OF GUJARAT

OUT OF 51 SHAKTI PEETH, THERE ARE 3 SHAKTI PEETH WHICH ARE SITUATED IN THE STATE OF GUJARAT. ONE OF THEM IS AMBAJI, WHERE DEVIS HEART HAD FALLEN IN TO THER PIECES , SECOND IS BAHUCHRAJI AND THIRD IS PAWAGADH MAHAKALI SHAKTI PEETH.

IT IS SAID THAT, PATAN EMPEROR SIDDHRAJ JAYSINH HAD BROUGHT HARSHIDDHI MATAJI AFTER EXTENSIVELY WORSHIPPING FROM UJJAIN AND DEVI SELECTED LADOL AS A PLACE TO SITUATE. HENCE LADOL IS ONE OF THE ACTIVE SHAKTI PEETH OF DEVI. DEVI HARSHIDDHI IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE GODDESS OF TANTRA SHAKTI MARG. IN MYHTPOLOGY DEVI HARSHIDHHI IS SAID TO BE ANGRY GODDESS BUT IN LADOL SHE IS VERY PLEASANT, CALM AND SMILING.


 * -HISTORY OF DEVI HARSHIDDHI

DEVI HARSHIDDHI WHO IS SITUATED IN LADOL, IS KNOWN AS ASHTHABHUJA DHARI AND IS SITTING ON LOTUS. THIS IS ONE OF THE SIDDHI SHAKTI PEETH AND IT HAS REMAINED CENTRE OF FAITH AND BELIEF SINCE HUNDRED OF YEARS.

THE STORY / HISTORY OF DEVI S ARRIVAL IN GUJARAT IS APPROX 1200 YEARS OLD. THE PLACE WHERE DEVI IS SITUATED RIGHT NOW, PRIOR TO 1200 YEARS IT WAS A DEN OF A YOGI AND DHUNI WAS STANDING AT THE PLACE OF IDOL OF DEVI. AT THAT TIME PATAN WAS BEING RULED BY KING KARNADEV, DUE TO HIS TUSSLE WITH CERTAIN TANTRIKS , THE TANTRIK THROUGH THEIR MELI VIDHYA HAD MANAGED TO LOCK THE WOMB OF QUEEN MINAL DEVI , INSPITE OF THE FACT THAT 11 MONTHS HAD PASSED THE CHILD HAD NOT TAKEN BIRTH , HENCE SABHA WAS CALLED AND ONE OF THE DEVOTEE FROM LADOL WHO WAS PRESENT THERE SUGGESTED THE KING TO VISIT THE YOGI WHO WAS IN LADOL ,

WHEN THE KING VISITED THE YOGI, THE YOGI WAS BUSY IN HIS CHANTING , WHEN YOGI MET THE KING , HE ASSURED THAT DON’T WORRY , A BABY BOY SHALL TAKE BIRTH AND ONCE HE WAS BORN, KING- QUEEN ALONG WITH THE BABY BOY CAME TO MEET YOGI , YOGI REQUESTED AFTER GIVING BLESSINGS  KINDLY BUILD A TEMPLE OF DEVI AT THIS VERY INSTANT PLACE , THE KING HAPPILY ASSURED AND WENT BACK.

MANY YEARS PASSED, KING KARNA DEV PASSED AWAY AND THE BABY BOY THE THEN SIDDHRAJ WAS NOW A KING OF PATAN. HE WAS ONE OF THE WARRIOR AND HE WAS ALSO DEVOTEE OF DEVI HARSHIDDHI AS WELL LIKE HIS FATHER. TO COMPLETE THE SANKALP OF HIS LATE FATHER, HE BUILT A LAVISH TEMPLE AND VARIOUS IDOLS WERE INSTITUTED BY FOLLOWING PROPER RITUALS. HE USED TO COME AND WORSHIP ON EVERY DURGASHTMI.

AS THE TIME PASSED THE MUGHAL EMPERORS ATTACKED THE TOWN AND DESTROYED WHOLE TOWN EXCEPT GARBH DWAR OF TEMPLE. ONE DAY A MAN CAME AND STARTED DIGGING THE LAND IN HOPE OF GETTING SOMETHING, WHO WASA STOPPED MANY TIMES BUT HE NEVER STOPPED , ONE DAY HE WAS STOPPLED BY ONE DEVI SJHAKTI ONLY WHEN HE WAS DIGGING , THROWN HIM AWAY AND SAID HIM NOT TO COME EVER AGAIN , THIS WHOLE INCIDENCE WAS WITNESSED BY MOTI RAM JI MAHARAJ , HE SAID THE SAME TO PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE AND AFTER THE SAID INCIDENT THE JINNODHAR OF TEMPLE WAS DONE AND NAGAR YATRA WAS ARRANGED. AFTER MOTIRAM JI, HIS SON JAYNTILLAL JI MAHARAJ TOOK CHARGE AND CARRIED OUT , EXPANDED THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVI HARSHIDDHI. AND AFTER HIM, HIS SON SATISH BHAI AND HIS NEPHEW ASHWIN BHAI HAVE CARRIEDE ON THE LEGACY AND PERFORMING THE DUTIES EFFICIENTLY. THE CREDIT OF REBUILT AND RENOVATION IN YEAR 2015 ONWARDS GOES TO RESPECTED SHRI PRATAP DADA. HIS VISION AND DEDICATION TO BUILT THE TEMPLE FROM GOLD AND TALLEST AS 61 FEET IS ON THE VERGE OF SUCCESSION. ALONG WITH THIS YATRI BHUVAN, ROOMS TO STAY , ANNPURNA HALL IS ALSO BUILT.
