Take a Visit To The Wish Fulfilling Ganesh Temple in Sehore

-

Sehore is just not only a district in the state of Madhya Pradesh, but it is also a spiritual place where every true wish of devotees is fulfilled by Lord Ganesh. Here lies the temple of Lord Ganesha named as “SHREE CHINTAMAN SIDDHA GANESH MANDIR”. Lord Ganesh is a Hindu God in Indian mythology. He is the younger son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Lord Ganesh is known for success, wisdom and for a new beginning. However, Lord Ganesh is also very well known as the remover of the obstacles. It is said that Lord Ganesh listen to every devotee and fulfils only those wishes that comes from a true heart. Ganesh is worshipped all over the country and even abroad.

This Ganesh Temple is quite unique in its own terms. Well, it is correct that Lord Ganesh always fulfils the wishes but there is a recognition of this temple. Here the followers come before the god and express there wish and make a reverse Swastik sign. And when there wish is fulfilled they come back to the temple and make a new Swastik sign in the correct format. The Swastik sign is a symbol of good luck and prosperity. That’s why followers of Hindu religion draw the symbol of Swastik before purchasing new products or before starting anything new. Thus, every worship is not complete without a symbol of Swastik.

Historical Importance of The Temple

In India, there are many temples which have there own significance and importance because of there history. The same thing applies over here also. There is historical importance behind the origin of this temple. The history of this temple is around 2,000 years old. It starts in the era of King Vikramaditya when this district Sehore was known as Siddhpur. The King was a follower of Lord Ganesh. On a random day, Lord Ganesh appeared in the dream of the King and said to him that he will appear in the form of a lotus flower in the river. The river was 15 km away from the temple.

Devotees approaching towards the temple

The King exactly followed the instruction as he was guided. He took the lotus flower from the river and headed back towards the kingdom. But on the way, he heard an eternal voice saying that you have a single night left to take the flower anywhere you can. As soon as the sun rises the flower will turn into an idol. Once the flower is placed on earth the flower will be transformed into an idol and will be stuck on the earth on the same place forever. Thus by listening to this eternal voice he started to move forward on his chariot. But later the wheel of his chariot got stuck in a pond section which was full of mud.

He tried to pull the wheel of his chariot but the king was not able to succeed. After some time the sunrises and the flower turned into the idol of Lord Ganesh. Then the king put some effort to move the idol of Lord Ganesh but the idol was stuck permanently. The idol was halfway down stuck inside the earth surface. Later, the king left the idol there and made a beautiful temple of Lord Ganesh.

This is How Wish Are Fulfilled

There is a huge debate sometime back that how is this even possible by drawing a reverse Swastik on the walls of the temple, makes your wish fulfil. However, many research and tactics were examined but there was no scientific evidence that how such a miracle is possible. Later it was proved that everything in this temple works on belief, spirituality and true worship. It is said that since ages, there is this ritual to draw a reverse Swastik. In Indian and Hindu culture drawing Swastik is the beginning of new hope. Before every new work this Swastik symbol is drawn, so that prosperity may come.

But here in this Shree Chintaman Siddha Ganesh Temple, there is the belief that by drawing a reverse Swatik on the walls of the temple can fulfil your wish. However, one should be completely devoted to the god and ask for the wish with complete faith. Once your wish is completed then you need to visit the temple again and draw the correct form of Swastik. After drawing the correct Swatik your ritual will be completed. This is the oldest tradition followed by the followers.
