Mera naam Sachin Mishra hai, aur aaj main aap sabhi ko apne gaav ki prasiddh Maa Jaalpa Mata, jinhe kai log Maa Jwaala ke naam se bhi jaante hain, unki adbhut aur chamatkaari kahani batane ja raha hoon।
Yeh sirf ek kahani nahi, balki humare gaav ki aastha, vishwas aur Maa ki anant kripa ka pramaan hai।
Yeh baat bahut purani hai… itni purani ki meri daadi ke janm se bhi pehle ki। Aaj meri daadi lagbhag 94 varsh ki hain, is hisaab se yeh kahani 100 saal se bhi zyada purani mani ja sakti hai। Us samay hamare desh me raja-maharajao ka shaasan hua karta tha….
Kehte hain ki isi pavitra sthal par Maa Jaalpa Mata ki murti prakat hui thi।
Meri daadi aur ghar ke bade-buzurg batate hain ki us samay gaav ke purane pujari, jinhe log Panda Baba ke purvaj “Bhuyanar Baba” ke naam se jaante the, unhe ek raat Maa ne sapne me darshan diye। Maa ne kaha —
“Main yahaan mitti me padi hoon… mujhe nikaalo aur meri sthapna karo।”
Subah hote hi Bhuyanar Baba turant us sthal par pahuche। Jab unhone wahaan mitti hataayi, to sach me Maa ki divya murti wahaan prakat hui। Yeh dekhkar sab log ashcharya me pad gaye।
Pujari ji ne bade shraddha aur bhakti ke saath Maa ki murti ko uthaya aur Akohakla ke pedh ke peeche waali jagah par sthapit kar diya। Tab se wahaan Maa ki pooja shuru ho gayi।
Us samay gaav-dehaat me na achchi sadkein thi aur na hi suvidhayein। Mandir ke aas-paas kichad aur mitti hua karti thi। Log zyadatar garmi ya sukhe ke samay hi wahaan ja paate the। Lekin dheere-dheere Maa ki kripa logon par hone lagi। Kai logon ki mannatein poori hone lagi aur Maa ke chamatkaaron ki charcha door-door tak phailne lagi।
Kehte hain ki isi dauraan kisi raja ko Maa ke is sthaan ke baare me pata chala। Raja ne socha ki ya to murti ko wahaan se hata diya jaye ya apne saath le jaya jaye।
Raja apne sainikon aur kai mazdooron ke saath wahaan pahucha। Bahut koshish ki gayi — murti ko khodkar nikaalne ki, hilane ki, ukhaadne ki — lekin Maa ki murti tas se mas tak nahi hui।
Kehte hain jitni zyada koshish ki gayi, murti utni hi adig bani rahi।
Raja ko gussa aa gaya। Wah apne haathi-ghodon ke saath aage badha aur balpoorvak murti aur pedh ko ukhaadne ki koshish karne laga। Lekin kehte hain ki uske haathi aur ghode achanak pachhaad kha kar zameen par gir pade।
Gusse me andha hokar raja ne Maa ke sir par talwaar ya kisi astra se vaar kar diya। Maa ka sheesh khandit ho gaya। Raja us sheesh ko haath me lekar wahaan se jaane laga…
Lekin kehte hain ki wah mushkil se das kadam hi chal paya hoga ki achanak zameen par gir pada। Uska shareer bukhaar aur peeda se kaapne laga। Dar aur kasht se vyakul hokar wah sab kuch wahin chhodkar bhaag gaya।
Usi raat Maa ne phir se pujari ji ko sapne me darshan diye aur kaha —
“Mera sheesh yahaan pada hai… mujhe phir se sthapit karo।”
Agle din subah pujari ji wahaan pahuche। Unhone Maa ke sheesh ko shraddha se uthaya aur Maa ke shareer ke saath jodkar murti ko phir se sthapit kar diya। Is baar Maa ko saamne ki or sthapit kiya gaya।
Aur tab se lekar aaj tak Maa usi roop me virajmaan hain।
Aaj bhi jo log Maa ke darbaar me jaate hain, woh mehsoos karte hain ki Maa ka mukh gaav ki taraf halka sa jhuka hua hai — jaise Maa apne bachchon par sadaiv kripa drishti banaye hue hon।
Koi yakeen kare ya na kare, lekin main maanta hoon ki yahaan Maa Adi Shakti ka sachcha nivaas hai। Meri khud ki kai mannatein Maa ne poori ki hain।
Samay ke saath yahaan bahut vikaas hua। Pakki sadkein baniं, mandir par tiles lagwaayi gayi, taalab ki marammat hui, bijli aur roshni ki vyavastha ki gayi। Maa ke mandir ke aas-paas anya mandiron ka bhi nirmaan hua — jaise Bhole Nath Mandir, Hanuman Ji Mandir, Kher Mata Mandir, Maa Durga Mandir aur Shani Dev Mandir।
Aaj yahaan door-door se log apni mannatein lekar aate hain। Navratri me yahaan jaware aur bhandare hote hain। Har Somvaar shaam ko bhagat hoti hai aur lagbhag har din koi na koi dharmik karyakram chalta rehta hai।
Maa ke charanon me jo shanti aur sukoon milta hai, use shabdon me bayan kar pana bahut mushkil hai।
Main khud kai baar Maa ke aadesh aur unki kripa se yahaan darshan karne jaata hoon।
Agar aap kabhi Satna aayein, to ek baar Maa Jaalpa Mata ke darbaar me avashya aayein…
Maa ka aashirvaad aur unki divya shakti ko mehsoos kariye।
Jai Maa Jaalpa Mata 
My name is Sachin Mishra, and today I want to share with all of you the divine and miraculous story of our village’s revered goddess — Maa Jaalpa Mata, whom many people also know as Maa Jwaala.
This is not just a story; it is the faith, devotion, and belief of generations who have experienced the blessings of Maa herself.
This tale is very old… so old that it belongs to a time before even my grandmother was born. Today, my grandmother is around 94 years old, which means this story is more than a hundred years old. It was the era when kings and royal rulers still governed the land.
Our village, Mahadeva, is situated near Satna city in the Raghuraj Nagar tehsil. The village lies between Dhawari and Pateri. At one corner of the village, just before reaching Pateri, there was an old pond surrounded by nature. In front of the pond stood a large Akohakla tree, and nearby were huge Mahua trees.
It is believed that this sacred place is where Maa Jaalpa Mata first appeared.
My grandmother and the elders of our family tell us that during those days, an old village priest — the ancestor of the present Panda Baba, known as Bhuyanar Baba — received a divine dream from Maa herself one night.
In the dream, Maa said:
“I am lying buried here in the soil… come and lift me, and establish my place of worship.”
The next morning, Bhuyanar Baba immediately went to the place shown in the dream. As he cleared the soil, he truly found the sacred idol of Maa lying there. Everyone was astonished.
With great devotion and reverence, the priest lifted the idol and established Maa near the back side of the Akohakla tree. From that day onward, the worship of Maa began.
In those days, village life was very difficult. There were no proper roads, no facilities, and the area around the temple was full of mud and uneven ground. People mostly visited the temple during dry seasons. But slowly, Maa’s blessings began to reveal themselves.
Many devotees experienced miracles. Wishes were fulfilled, prayers were answered, and word of Maa’s divine power started spreading from village to village.
It is said that eventually news of this miraculous place reached a king. Perhaps he wished to remove the idol, or perhaps he wanted to take it away with him.
The king arrived with soldiers and laborers. They tried everything — digging around the idol, pushing it, attempting to move it from the ground — but Maa’s idol did not move even slightly.
The more they tried, the more firmly the idol seemed rooted to the earth.
The king became furious. Riding with elephants and horses, he tried to forcefully uproot the idol and even the tree nearby. But it is believed that suddenly the elephants and horses lost balance and fell violently to the ground.
Blinded by anger, the king struck Maa’s idol with a sword or weapon, damaging her sacred head. He then picked up the severed head and began walking away with it.
But according to the elders, he could barely walk ten steps before collapsing to the ground. His body began shaking with fever and unbearable pain. Terrified and helpless, he abandoned everything there and fled.
That very night, Maa once again appeared in the priest’s dream and said:
“My head lies there… restore me once again.”
The next morning, the priest returned to the spot, respectfully lifted Maa’s head, and rejoined it with the idol before reinstalling her properly. This time, Maa was established facing forward.
And from that day till today, Maa Jaalpa Mata remains seated in the same divine form.
Even now, people believe that Maa’s face is slightly tilted toward the village, as if she continues watching over and protecting her devotees.
Whether others believe it or not, I truly believe that this place is blessed by the presence of Adi Shakti herself. Maa has fulfilled many of my own wishes and prayers.
As time passed, the temple developed greatly. Roads were built, tiles were laid around the temple, the pond was renovated, and electricity and lighting arrangements were added. Gradually, many other small temples were also established nearby, including temples of Lord Shiva, Hanuman Ji, Kher Mata, Maa Durga, and Lord Shani Dev.
Today, devotees come from faraway places seeking Maa’s blessings. During Navratri, sacred Jaware and Bhandaras are organized here. Every Monday evening, devotional gatherings and bhajans take place, and some religious activity continues almost every day.
The peace and spiritual calm one feels in Maa’s presence cannot truly be described in words.
I myself visit Maa’s darbar many times, believing it is only through her blessings and guidance that I am called there again and again.
If you ever visit Satna, you must come once to seek the blessings of Maa Jaalpa Mata.
Feel the divine energy, the peace, and the grace of Maa’s sacred presence.
Jai Maa Jaalpa Mata 🙏
