Bageshwar Dham

Bageshwar Dham is a Hindu temple located in the Gada village, Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is dedicated to the Hindu Lord Hanuman. The temple is believed to be 300 years old and is often referred to as one of the oldest and most important temples in the region.

The temple is visited by thousands to lakhs of pilgrims every day, especially during the darbar organizing days of the week. The glory of the temple is well known that any devotee who brings their issues to the temple in front of Balaji (Hanumanji) has their issues solved and gets everything he wants.

Process

Visiting devotees must apply to the Bageshwar Dham, and once their application is accepted, Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the Bageshwar Sarkar, enumerates their issues on the Dham without asking them.

Information about the issues is then asked from individuals. The prescription already lists all of the issues in full before asking the individual. Mainstream media outlets and people who don’t believe in dharma are shocked to see Bageshwar Dham’s miracles. However, in the end, he had to bow down alongside in front of Balaji.

Unknown facts

Dhirendra Krishna Shastri’s love for tea is unparalleled, with a special fondness for the warmth and spice of Ginger tea. His guru, too, was a lover of tea, and every sip served as a reminder of his guru’s blessings.

It was a ritual, almost sacred, as the guru would take his tea and leave half in the cup before offering it to Shastri. To this day, Shastri ji reflects on the wisdom and kindness imbued in each sip, recognizing that it was these moments over tea that shaped him into the person he is today.

The fragrance of tea is a soothing balm to his soul, providing energy and focus during long hours of work. The ritual of tea is more than just a drink to Shastri – it is a connection to his guru, a source of peace in a world of chaos, and a constant reminder of the blessings that have guided his path.
