It is said
that once there was a poor Brahmin, because of
his poor health he could not even collect
alms. He used to lie in a small broken hut.
His hut was behind Deviji's temple.
He prayed lying on his cot, to Deviji but to
no avail. He could not get anything to eat or
drink.
Once after fasts of Navratre with great effort
he tried his best to bring prasad from
Deviji's temple but he fell behind the temple.
In his feeble voice he called for Deviji help.
At that time a voice came from Deviji's statue
"devotees look behind my back some poor
devotee is calling me ,bring him here".
Every body ran and from the back of temple
brought the Brahmin and gave him prasad. After
eating prasad he felt better.
He said "Deviji, Help me. I am very poor .I
want to worshipping you and want to organise
your Bhandara.
Deviji was pleased and said, "Take this tobadi.
Whatever will be your wish this tobadi will
grant you. Brahaman was delighted. Since then
he started getting full meal
On Ashtami he invited all his neighbours and
King's soldiers for Deviji bhandara. Every
body was surprised that how can a poor man
like him can organise a Bhandara. Next day to
see this every body reached there.
The Brahmin kept the tobadi on a clean place
and said - "Deviji ki tobadi laavan laddoo
paan mithai" the moment he said this,
everybodies plate was filled with food and
delicious sweets.
People enjoyed the food but perplexed they
went straight to the King and complained that
by performing some magic trick he has fed all
the people.
The King called the Brahmin and asked him to
tell the truth. He told the king that Deviji
has given him this tobadi and because of her
blessings everybody got the food. Nobody
believed him. King confiscated the tobadi from
him and kept it with him.
Brahmin became very sad and prayed to Deviji
and told her everything. This time Deviji gave
him a stick and said that"This stick will help
you also and will also bring back his sister
tobadi." You again invite people for my
Bhandara and feed them.
As per Deviji instruction he again invited
everybody for bhandra. When everybody arrived,
like earlier times with folded hands he said.
"Deviji ki chari laavan laddoo paan mithai"
said this, On hearing this the stick stood up
and started beating everybody.
They all started shouting and starting running
hither-dhither. Some people went to the King
and complained.
On hearing all the commotion and complaint the
King called for the Brahmin and asked him the
reason for this.
Brahmin said, "Maharaj, this also is Deviji
stick. She has given it to me. It recognises
the liers, people who are jealous by nature
and are bad it takes revenge from them. If you
return his sister tobadi to me, then it will
stop beating people."
On hearing this, the King immediately called
for tobadi and gave it back to the Brahmin.
The same moment stick stopped beating people.
Now the king believed the Brahmin. On seeing
the result of devijis blessings king was
delighted .He made an announced in his kingdom
that with true heart all his subjects should
pray deviji so that everybodies wish is
fullfilled and they get happiness. From that
day the tradition of worshipping every sixth
month is being followed.
