How Baba Shyam Became Veer Barbarik With The Help Of Loses

About five and a half thousand years ago in the Mahabharata period, a great soul descended whom we know as Bhima's grandson Barbarik. Barbarik obtained divine power and three arrows and bow by doing pure and selfless penance of Navadurga in the secret area located at Ocean Sangam.

After a few years, the armies of Kauravas and Pandavas gathered for the war at a place called Available in Kurukshetra. The conch shell of the war was about to take place that Barbarik came to know about this and he took the blessings of the mother and left for the battlefield.

He intended to help whoever was defeated in the war. When Lord Shri Krishna came to know this story, he thought that in such a situation the war would never end. So, disguised as a Brahmin, he stopped Barbarik's way and asked him where you were leaving.

Barbarik told his aim that he would go to Kurukshetra and fulfill his duty and on this Shri Krishna in the form of a Brahmin asked him to show his skills. Barbarik pierced all the leaves of the tree with a single arrow except one which was pressed under the feet of Shri Krishna.

Barbarik prayed to Shri Krishna in the form of a Brahmin to remove his foot from the top of the leaf, otherwise your foot may be injured. Shri Krishna removed his leg and asked Barbarik for a boon. Barbarik said, O host, you can ask for whatever you want, I will follow the promise completely.

Shri Krishna in the form of Brahmin asked for donation of head. Hearing this, Barbaric did not get upset at all, but he talked about giving darshan to Shri Krishna in his real form because no ordinary person can ask for this donation. Then Shri Krishna appeared in his real form.

He was Mahabali, Tyagi, Tapasvi Veer. Asked for Barbarik's head to present to Ranchandika and also gave a boon that you will be known by my name in Kalyug. My power will be vested in you. Gods will worship your head as long as this earth, stars, moon and sun remain, till then you will be worshiped by people in my Shri Shyam form.
