दोहा
श्री गुरु चरण सरोज रज नीज मना मुकारा सुधारी, अरनाओ रघुवर विमला यशो जो दयाका पहला चारी,

विद्यावान गुनी अति चातुर, राम कजा करिबे को आतुर,
प्रभु चरित्र सुनिबे को रसिया, राम लखना सीता माना बसिया,

सुक्ष्म रूपा धरी सियाही दिखावा, विकता रूपा धरी लंका जरावा,
भीमा रूपा धरी असुर संहारे ,रामचंद्र के कजा सवारे,

लाया सजीवन लखना जियाये, श्री रघुवीर हरषी उर लाये,
रघुपति किन्ही बहुत बडाई, कहा भरता समां तुम प्रिया भाई,

सहस वदन तुम्हारो यश गावे, अस कही श्रीपति कंठ लगावे,

तुम्हारो मंत्र विभीशाना माना, लंकेश्वर भये सबा जगा जन,
युग सहस्र योजन पर भानु, लील्यो ताहि मधुरा फल जानू,

प्रभु मुद्रिका मेली मुख माहि, जलधि लांघी गए अचरज नही,
दुर्गम काज जगत के जेते, सुगम अनुग्रह तुम्हारे तेते,

राम दुलारे तुम रखवारे, होत आग्न्य पिनु पैथारे,
सब सुख लहै तुम्हारी शरण, तुम रक्षक कहू को डरा न,

आपना तेजा तुम्हारो आपे, तीनो लोक हांका ते कम्पी,
भूत पिसाचा निकट नहीं आव,महाबीर जब नाम सुनावे,

नसे रोग हरे सब पीरा, जपत निरंतर हनुमत बीरा,
संकट से हनुमान चुदवेय, मन क्रम वचना ध्यान जो लाव,

सब पर नामा तपस्वी रजा, तीन के कजा सकला तुम सजा,
और मनोरथ जो कोई लावे, तासु अमिता जीवन हल पवई,

चारों युग परताप तुम्हारा, है पारा सीधा जगाता उजियारा,
साधू संत के तुम रखवारे, असुर निकंदाना राम दुल्हरे,

जो सत् बार पाठ कर कोई,छुतही बंदी महा सुख होई ,

जो यह पढ़े हनुमान चालीसा , होय सिद्धइ सखी गौरीसा ,
तुलसीदास सदा हरी चेरा , कीजे नाथ ह्रदय माह डेरा .

दोहा
पवन तनया संकट हरन मंगला मूर्ति रूपा,
राम लखन सीता सहित हृदय बसहु सुरभूप,

About History of Sidhpur, Siddhpur, SreeSthal

2009-11-01T20:55:00.000-08:00

Sidhpur is also known as Sri-sthal or a "pious place". It is mentioned in the Rig Veda to be existing at that time as the Dashu village. The legend is that the great sage Vyashya had donated his bones to God Indra here at Sidhpur. Sidhpur is also believed to be located at the junction of two rivers Ganga and Saraswati. Even in the Mahabharata, the great Indian epic, it is mentioned that the Pandavas had visited the place while they were in exile. During the 4-5th A.D a large number of people settled in this part. They were Gurjara people from Iran.

Around the 10th century, under Solanki rulers, the city was at the zenith of fame and glory. The ruler Sidhraj Jaisingh built his capital at Sidhpur, thus the name Sidhpur which literally means Siddhraj's town. He built a temple dedicated to Shiva, and also beautiful palaces and one huge tower, some say of 80 metres long. He also brought large numbers of Brahmins from Kashi (Varanashi) and had them settled here. During the 12th century Muhammed Ghori destroyed the town on his way to Somnath. Around 30,000 people were killed in the raid, and the Solanki Empire was destroyed.

During the Sultanate time the place was under the rule of local dynasty ruling from Palanpur. Later on in 15th century the place was brought under the Mughal rule by Akbar. Under the Mughal rule the town developed and flourished.

In order to understand fully the meaning of what was exposed at Siddhpur and the strife it caused, we have to know what the Rudramahalaya was, how it came to be built at Siddhpur and how a Jami Masjid was raised on its site and from its debris. The Report of the Minorities Commission provides some historical background. So does the Note from the Government of Gujarat. But the information is meager and leaves a lot to be told. Both of them were dealing with a communal problem and were not expected to give a detailed history of Siddhpur, the Rudramahalaya and the Jami Masjid.

The Note from the Government of Gujarat gives no information about the historical or religious importance of Siddhpur. The Report of the Minorities Commission says that Siddhpur is a historical city and that it was ruled successively by Hindu Rajas and Muslim Sultans. There is no reference to the religious importance of Siddhpur as a place of Hindu pilgrimage. The article by B.L. Nagarch brings out that point when it says that as the obsequies offerings to the paternal ancestors must be made at Gaya, so corresponding offerings to the maternal ancestors have to be performed at Siddhpur. Nagarch tells us also that the ancient name of Siddhpur appears to have been Sristhala or Sristhalaka and that the name of Siddhpur was given to this place in honor of Siddharaja Jayasimha who completed the Temple of Rudra-Mahadev in the twelfth century here.
The Puranas regard Sristhala as the most sacred spot in the Sarasvata-mandal of Gujarat. The Bhagvata Purana associates it with Kardama rishi, who had his hermitage here, and also with Kapil muni who was born in this place on the bank of the sacred Saraswati River. It was also known as Vindusara. It is said that anahillapataka or anahillapattana, the capital of medieval Gujarat before Ahmadabad came up in the first quarter of the fifteenth century, was founded where it was because of its nearness to Sristhala.
Anahillapattana, now known as Patan, was built in AD 745 by Vanaraja, the founder of the Chavotkata or Chapa or Chavda dynasty. It reached its greatest glory, however, in the reign of Jayasimha (AD 1094-1143), the most illustrious ruler of the Chaulukya or Solanki dynasty of Gujarat. Jayasimha was very much devoted to Sristhala and visited it often in order to keep the company of sages and saints living at this place. There is a popular legend that Jayasimha defeated and captured Barbara, a demon who was molesting the holy men at Sristhala. Barbara, we are told, became his obedient servant and performed many superhuman deeds for him. That is how Jayasimha earned the sobriquet of Siddharaja. He built at Sristhala a temple dedicated to Rudra Mahakala which became known as Rudramahalaya or simply Rudramala. Because of its close association with Siddharaja, Sristhala became known as Siddhapura which name was corrupted to Siddhpur in course of time.

The spiritual fame of Siddhpur, however, proved to be its misfortune when Gujarat passed under a long spell of Muslim rule towards the close of the thirteenth century. Thereafter it attracted the attention of every Islamic iconoclast. Its temples were reduced to ruins and its holy men were either killed or scared away. Its spiritual importance had become greatly reduced when Munhata Nainasi, the famous historian of Rajasthan, visited it in Samvat 1717 (AD 1660). NaiNasi was at that time the Diwan of Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur who had been appointed the Governor of Gujarat by Aurangzeb in AD 1658. He has left for us a brief description, historical and topographical, of Siddhpur as he saw it. Siddhpur, writes Nainasi is a pleasant city. It was founded by Sidharao after his own name. He invited from the East one thousand Auditchya Brahmins who were well-versed in the Vedas and gave them seven hundred villages around Siddhpur. He had built a big temple named Rudramala. That was razed to the ground by Sultan Alauddin. Even so, several temples survive today. Beyond the city, towards the east, there is the river Saraswati. A temple dedicated to Madhava had been built on its bank. A ghat [flight of steps leading to the river] has also been constructed. The temple was destroyed by the Mughal but the ghat can still be seen. A Turk has built his bungalow on the Ghat.
Siddhpur was liberated from the Muslim stranglehold by the Marathas in the first quarter of the eighteenth century. By the first quarter of the nineteenth, the Marathas lost to the British and in the settlement that followed Siddhpur was included in the princely state of Baroda along with Patan. The Marathas made no attempt to revive Siddhpur as a centre of Hindu pilgrimage. Nor did they try to restore Patan as the seat of a Hindu government. Neither the spiritual nor the political capital of Gujarat at one time has retained anything of a great past except wistful memories.
