Sheetaleshwar Mahadeva has been blessing Chakauti villagers from time immemorial. Most people of Chakauti have enjoyed His Blessings throughout historical times. The legend goes Lord Mahadeva prefers to stay there in a domeless, roofless temple in Chakauti and has thwarted the efforts of several people in the past to build a covered temple there.
Now Chakauti has a new guest in the shape of Baba Swami Seva Dass, who started a number of activities at Sheetleshwar Sthan in Satti in Chakauti. Among all, he has planned a Mahaa Rudra Yagya from June 2, 2011 to June 10, 2011 and a Grand Temple for Lord Shiva by raising donations from the villagers and others.
To execute his plan, he plays with faith and miseries of people. He himself and some of his active volunteers are adicted to Bhaang and Ganjaa, who alongwith Baba have Ganja sessions during day and night. He distributes to his selected devotees Ganjaa alongwith prasaad.
Those with diseases receive Dev Tulsi as his prasad. I was scared to receive Dev Tulsi offered by him on the doubt of it being some sort of unexperimented drug, perhaps some form of Ganjaa, He offers cures for variety of ailments to hapless villagers by using unknown botanical roots (Jarri) and his own magical powers. He flaunts a huge Jataa (unkempt lock of long hair) and prefers to remain Clothless(digambar), though he can also be seen with a loin cloth on. He claims to know peoples past and predict future and throws comments like "you are troubled by planets - Tere ko grahon ki pareshaani hai" and and thereafter demands huge unimaginable quantities of ingradients for the forthcoming Yagya to his targetted doner.
