Pipasar Dham : Guru Jambheshwar Temple

This village of Pipasar is the birth place of Guru Jambhoji. It is located in the District of Nagaur in Rajasthan. Guru Jambhoji was born here in the year 1451 CE (Vikrami Samvat 1508, on 8th of Bhadwa month Krishan Paksha).

Sathri (small temple) is made here in the boundary of guru Jambhoji’s home where he was born. Some of Guru Maharaj’s home belongings are kept here e.g. wooden sleepers, manual flour mill, hand spice grinder etc.

Rao Duda of Merta came here and he tied his horse to a Khejri tree. Rao Duda saw that a child brought some cows to water them from a holding tank that was constructed outside a well. This child was the divine child Jambhoji. Rao Duda was surprised to see that the child called his cows to come and drink water one by one with the gesture of his fingers. Rao Dudaji told the divine child Jambhoji about his plight that people in his kingdom are revolting against him and that he lost his kigdom of Merta. 

Upon hearing the story the divine child Jambhoji gave Rao Duda a wooden stick and asked him to use it as a sword. Divine child Jambhoji told Rao Duda that he should go back and fight to recover his kingdom using this stick as a sword. Rao Dudaji returned and recovered his kingdom.This is the same well where Guru Maharaj spoke his first shabad.
