Sri Kurmadas

INTRODUCTION: 

Sri Kurmadas was born in a village at Maharashtra. He was born without having limbs in his hands and legs. Since from his childhood, he was an ardent devotee of Lord Vital. Once he got an opportunity to listen to the discourse on Lord Vital and was very much interested to reach the holy place, and to worship his beloved Pandurangan. He expressed his desire to the villagers, but they felt that it would be very difficult for him to reach Pandharpur, since he was a handicap person, and also pandharpur was far away from their village. But somehow he managed to go to Pandhari and started rolling over the roads, and due to that his body was fully wounded. He then met a rich man, who gave proper food, and took along with him to Pandharpur. They reached a village called Bahula. By then, his body was totally wounded.

He was unable to move from that place. He then stayed back at Bahula and shared his worries to the rich man, and he was depressed very much towards the difficulty which he faces in reaching Pandharpur. Immediately Lord Krishna revealed his true form and gave his darshan, and gently touched his body through his lotus hands, and immediately his handicap has been removed from his body and he has become a healthier person. Kurmadas was very much delighted, and ask the Lord to stay in the village Bahula itself, and to bless his devotees. Immediately the Lord has been changed in the form of Idol, and a small shrine has been constructed in that place. Even today, Bahula is considered equivalent to Pandharpur. Afterwards, even without learning, due to the grace of Lord Vital, he has got sufficient knowledge in all the divine texts, and composed several songs in praise of Lord Krishna, and sung in the Pandharpur temple. After his death, he has attained SALVATION.

Let us worship the great saint and be blessed.
