  • Jai Ho Baba Bateshwar Ki
  • the information is too short about this place.
  • All the notepads on the web will get short of pages if a self(an entity who, when get connected to SHIV his OM or and nor the infinite names of that reality) would start writing about. Above, the words are full of source of the self and the entity to believe. This place BATESHWAR which relates to Vatuknath and the hundereds of the stories which has gone through are precious and loose. The spiritual personalities of the past were so strong in their nature and attitude that this place could not lost the powerful waves of positivity and peacefulnes. But the force of the infinite source is so deep and greatful that any identity who is spiritually connected to the source of LOVE and PURITY can easily be effected and could be able to notify & feel the strong current of waves of DIVYA DHARAYEIN. And so is the soil.
