Khapri Kheda

There was the sub- postmaster, Shri Y. M. Deo, who wished to donate his land in far-away Khapri Khera for the construction of a Mahamateshwari Temple.
He donated the piece of land, only to discover that the government had run a water canal over it and that he would be paid a minimum compensation after several years. This broke the poor man's heart, and he wept and prayed. Here was a genuinely sincere person. His daughter's marriage had not taken place for years. But the moment he delivered up his land at Shri Nathji's feet, his daughter was blessed with a husband. Deo would never tire of narrating this event.
Mahamateshwari would frequently appear to him and his wife in their prayers. Another miracle took place. The owner of a large area of land in Khapri Khera, a certain Shri Ranchod Dasji, heard Deo's tale, and immediately offered a 60ft. by 60 ft. plot of his land as a donation for the temple! It was something that went beyond Deo's expectations!
His wife said: "I have one desire in life now, to be given the strength to build Mahamateshwari's temple at Khapri Khera!"

Shri Nathji, Priya Nath and Priyavari visited the place. There, under a tree, the statue of Mahamateshwari was placed, and Shri Nathji inaugurated the site.
 The sky was rent with the sounds of: "Jai Jai Shri Bhola Nath hare.... Jai Jai Shri Bhola Nath hare... Mahamateshwari ki jai ... Mahamateshwari ki jai...”
 It was a day the people would remember for long. Mahamateshwari appeared to be present, and very vividly alive and real on the spot. A snake passed through the assembled crowd quietly and almost reverentially, without biting anyone.

 Shri Nathji walked around the plot to the sounds of the chanting. Mahamateshwari had entered the region. The temple was not constructed later–because there was no money. Y. M. Deo managed to have a well dug in the area, but that was about all. But monument or no monument, the place had assumed a sanctity no other Mandir would enjoy for a long time to come, for God Himself had set foot upon the ground and declared it a temple. The memorable event took place on March 12, 1978.
