There was a small village Asota in district Nagaur (Rajsthan). The day was Saturday
-samvat 1811, Shravan Shukla-Navami. A Jat farmer was ploughing his field. All of
sudden the plough was hit by some story thing and the sound - Thlikk ... was created.
He dug that place and found and Idol covered with sand. His wife reached their with
his lunch packet. He showed the idol. She cleaned the idol with her sari (dress)
and the idol of Lord Balaji (Lord Hanuman) was appeared. They bow their head with
devotion. The news of appearance of Lord Balaji spread in the village Asota immediately
the Thakur of Asota also heard the news. At the same night a devotee of Lord Hanuman,
Mean Das of Salasar saw Lord Hanuman or Balaji in dream. Lord Balaji told him about
the idol of asota. He immediately send a message to Thakur of Asota. The thakur
became surprised - How Mohandasji knew minor details without coming Asota Certainly
