Khatushyam Ji, worshipped as the savior of the distressed and human connect to divine and emotional origin rooted in the Mahabharata. He was originally Barbaric, the grandson of Bhima and a fearless warrior blessed with three celestial arrows. These arrows were so powerful that they could ensure instant victory for the side he chose in battle.
Before the great Kurukshetra war, Barbaric, moved by justice, vowed to support the weaker side. However, Lord Krishna, knowing the outcome of this, tested his devotion. Disguised as a Brahmin, Krishna asked Barbaric which side he would fight for. Barbaric replied, “I will always fight for the weaker side.” Krishna realized that this would cause constant shifts in power, leading to endless bloodshed.
To prevent this, Krishna asked for a great sacrifice—Barbarik’s own head. Without hesitation and in complete devotion, Barbarik agreed. Before the sacrifice, he requested a boon: to witness the entire battle. Krishna granted his wish and placed his severed head atop a hill, where he watched the Kurukshetra war unfold.
Pleased with his devotion, Krishna blessed him, saying that in Kali Yuga, he would be worshipped as Khatushyam Ji, the one who grants protection and fulfills the wishes of his devotees.
Years later, his head was found in Khatu, Rajasthan, and enshrined in a grand temple. Even today, countless devotees believe that those who sincerely call upon Khatushyam Ji with the words “Haare Ka Sahara, Baba Shyam Hamara” will never be abandoned. His unconditional love, sacrifice, and divine blessings continue to touch millions of hearts…….
Once, a poor devotee named Mohan lived in Rajasthan. He had deep faith in Khatushyam Ji but was struggling to feed his family. One day, in desperation, he prayed, “Baba, I trust you completely. Show me a way.” That night, he had a dream in which Khatushyam Ji appeared and said, “Go to my temple and distribute prasad, and your worries will end.”
Though he had no money, Mohan obeyed. As he distributed prasad, a wealthy merchant, seeing his devotion, offered him a job. In time, Mohan prospered and always credited Baba Shyam for his blessings. His faith never wavered, and he spent his life serving Khatu Shyam Ji.
