Bedi Hanuman Temple: The Dham (temple) of Lord Jagannath is considered one of the four Dhams. The temple of Lord Jagannath is located in Puri, Orissa. Lord Jagannath is none other than Shri Krishna, the incarnation of Shri Hari Vishnu. The Lord sits in this temple with his elder brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra. There would hardly be anyone who does not know about this temple. This temple is famous in the country as well as abroad.
People come to this temple from all over the country and abroad to have darshan of Lord Jagannath, but do you know who protects the temple here. You will be surprised to know that this temple is protected by Hanuman ji, a great devotee of Lord Rama himself. There is also a temple of Ramdoot Hanuman ji near Jagannath temple, which is known as Bedi Hanuman temple. In this temple, shackles have been put on the feet of Hanuman ji. Let us know why this has been done?
This is the belief regarding Bedi Hanuman temple
It is a popular belief that the temple of Lord Jagannath was built by King Indradyumna. It is said that Lord Vishnu himself appeared to him and ordered him to build this temple. It is said that Bajrangbali resides in every particle here. Regarding the Bedi Hanuman temple, it is believed that the strong waves of the ocean tried to break the Jagannath temple three times.
Even today Hanuman ji is following the orders
At that time Lord Jagannath ordered Hanuman ji to guard the temple and control the waves of the sea. On the orders of Lord Jagannath, Hanuman ji fulfilled his responsibility very well, but whenever Hanuman ji heard the bhajan or kirtan of Shri Ram anywhere, he would leave the guard and go to that place. In such a situation, the sea waves would get the opportunity and enter the temple.
This is the reason why Lord Jagannath tied Hanuman ji there with golden chains. So that Hanuman always stays at that place and protects the temple. Even today Hanuman ji is following the orders of God.
