Shree Kashtabhanjan Dev Hanumanji Mandir

One time Aksharmukt GOPALANAND SWAMI had arrived in the village of Botad. At that time the chief of Sarangpur who was VAGHA KHACHAR went to Botad to do darshan of Swami. Gopalanand Swami asked him how is going Darbaar? Are you happy or not? At that time Vagha Khachar replied, Oh Swami, we have two droughts. The first one being that for three years it hasn’t rained even once. Secondly, we do not have the darshan of great saints such as you. In this way we have two droughts not one swami, please do help us.
Then after going in deep meditation for a short while Sadguru Gopalanand Swami spoke Oh chief, what if we consecrate someone from which saints will always reside in your village? Then you will have no problems. In this way Swami showered great affection upon the chief and gave the orders to make the idol of Shree Hanumanji Maharaj. In Vikram Samvat 1905 (In year 1848) Aaso vad pancham the idol was ready and by the strength of his Ashtangyoga-penance he consecrated the idol of Kashtabhanjandev - the distress-destroyer God Hanumanji with the Vedic rituals.
Aksharmukt Yogiraj Shri Gopalanand Swami after consecrating Shree Hanumanji Maharaj at Sarangpur has got rid of the troubles of millions of people so known as Kashtbhanjandev (crusher of sorrows).
