Chintpurni Devi |
|||
Maiydass was a great devotee of Durga Maa. Maiydass was very ardant in his worship although he lived a day-to-day simple life. He was youngest of three brothers and worked in the family business, but he always put his devotion ahead of his work. Once on his travels to different villages doing his work, he was travelling through woods and fell asleep under a banyan tree. At this point the Goddess came to him in a dream, she cam as a divine girl astride a lion. She spoke steadily instructing him to create a temple in her name in this very spot as under this tree would reside in a pindh form. Maiydass suddenly woke, it was getting late he was in woods and a lot of work was yet to be done. So he went along, but the dream of the Goddess never left the fore front of his mind. |

He constantly was thinking about it during his way back home. From the fear of the Goddess Maiydass went back to the same spot and started praying to the Goddess, after praying for so long. The Goddess appeared again with her roaring lion the woods we're alight again. She blessed Maiydass and his family and said, "I am under this tree in Pindh form. Here my prescene will always reside, I am your Goddess, other devotees who come here will see me any form they wish, in this pindh I will be Sri Durga and Sri Chinnamasta, I will abolish all worries of my devotees and be known as Chintpurni" The Goddess explained her form as Chinnamasta and Sri Durga to Maiydass and then gave him knowledge of her form and her name, Chintpurni. Maiydass was amazed but even his astonishment he still kept his devotion strong and said to the Goddess, "Here is no water for miles. How will I clean and wash your spiritual Pindh?"

| The Goddess asked him to walk with Her and within no time she said to Maiydass turn over any stone and underneath will spring a stream. Following orders and his faith, Maiydass turned a stone and sprung below a pure stream.The Goddess then immersed herself into the Pindh and Maiydass started his life of worshipping Chintpurni Mata. Since then Maiydas went to construct the mandir of the Goddess and he became so happy with his divine experience her built a hut to live in next to the temple to live in which even today can be visited. The temple became so popular it started attracting a population and thus now a town surrounds the temple. | |||
