Betul


Shri Nathji’s devotee Bhatt Sahib Betul has served as an Additional District Judge at Betul, then in the Central Provinces in India. Khaskalam a friend of Justice Bhatt, who came for Shri Nathji darshan at Lahore lost his betting, but latter found it miraculously delivered at his residence in Betul. In 1973, and again in 1978, when the train carrying Shri Nathji from Delhi to Nagpur passed through Betul railway station, Shri Nathji raised his hands in the air and blessed the soul of Khaskalam, who was no longer in the world.

In 1822 the District Headquarters was shifted to the present place, which was a village called Badnur at that time. The literal meaning of Betul is "without (be) cotton (tool)".
