It was
some time in 1962 when Maharajji called for Shri
Poornanand of Kainchi village while he himself
waited sitting on parapet wall by the road side near
Kainchi. When he came, they refreshed the memories
of their first meeting which they had 20 years back
in 1942. They discussed about the place around.
Maharajji wanted to see the place where Sadhu Premi
Baba and Sombari Maharaj had lived and performed
Yagyas. The forest was cleared and Maharajji asked
for the construction of a Chabootara (rectangular
platform) covering the Yagyashala. Maharajji
contacted the then "conservator of forests" and took
possession of the requisite land on lease.
The Hanuman temple is built over the
platform mentioned above. His
devotees started coming from
different places and a chain of
bhandaras, kirtans, bhajans started.
The Pran-Pratishtha of idols of
Hanumanji and others was performed
on 15th June in different years.
Thus, 15th June is celebrated every
year as Pratishtha Divas when a
large number of devotees come to
Kainchi and get Prasad. The number
of devotees and the associated
vehicular traffic is so large that
the district administration has to
make special arrangement to regulate
the same. Accordingly some changes
have been made in the whole complex
so that people do not face any
difficulty in movement.
The picture you see along side is of
the gufa (cave) where Maharajji
prayed to God. Kainchi temple is of
a special importance and each and
every devotee's life. It was here
that Ram Dass and other westerners
spent a lot of good time with
Maharajji. All devotees should pay a
visit to this temple atleast once.
