Голу Девата ( Кумаони : गोलज्यू) является божеством Кумаони общины Индии .
Храм Читай Голу Девта - самый знаменитый храм, посвященный божеству и находится примерно в 4 км (2,5 мили) от главных ворот Бинсарского заповедника дикой природы и около 10 км (6,2 мили) от Альморы . [ 1 ]
Другой знаменитый храм расположен недалеко от Баугали , рядом со школой Сайник, Горахал .
Голу Девата путешествовал на дальние расстояния на своей лошади и встречался с людьми из его королевства, в практике под названием Голу Дарбар : Голу Девата слышал проблемы людей и помогал им любым возможным способом. У него было особое место для людей в его сердце, и он всегда был готов помочь им. Из -за его полной преданности людям он вел очень простую жизнь, следуя принципам Брахмачарья .
Golu Devata still meets with his people and in many villages the practice of Golu darbar is still prevalent, where Golu Devata appears in front of people, listens to their problems and helps people in every way possible. In present times, the most common form of Golu Devata Darbar is Jagar.[2]
Golu Devata always had a special place in his heart for his white horse, and it is believed that he still rides his white horse to travel around.
He is worshipped as the god of justice and he serves it well. His mantra is the following: "Jai Nyay Devta Goljyu Tumar Jai ho. Sabuk lije dain haije" (Translation: 'Hail the God of justice: Goljyu! Blessings for everyone').!
Origin
[edit]Golu Devata is considered to be an incarnation of Gaur Bhairav (Shiva), and is worshipped all over the region. He is regarded as the dispenser of justice by the devotees with extreme faith.
Historically, he is considered as the brave son of king Jhal Rai and his wife Kalinka, and a general of Katyuri king. His grandfather was Hal Rai and great-grandfather was Hal Rai. Historically Champawat is considered as the origin of Golu Devata. His mother Kalinka is believed to be the sister of two other local deities: Harishchand Devjyun (the divine spirit of Raja Harish of the Chands) and Sem Devjyun. Both deities are also regarded as Lord Golu's uncles.
Tales about his birth differ from place to place, the most popular story about Golu talks of a local king who, while hunting, sent his servants to look for water. The servants disturbed a woman who was praying. The woman, in a fit of anger, taunted the king that he could not separate two fighting bulls and proceeded to do so herself. The king was very impressed by this deed and he married the lady. When this queen gave birth to a son, the other queens, who were jealous of her, replaced the boy for a stone, put him in a cage and cast it into the river. The child was brought up by a fisherman. When the boy grew up he took a wooden horse to the river and on being questioned by the queens, he replied that if women can give birth to stone, then wooden horses can drink water. When the king heard about this, he punished the guilty queens and crowned the boy, who went on to be known as Golu devta.[3][4][5][6][7]
Golu Devata is seen in form of Lord Shiva, while his brother Kalva Devta is in form of Bhairava and Garh Devi is form of Shakti. Golu Devata is also prayed as a key deity (Ista/Kula Devta) in many villages in Kumaon and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand. Normally three days pooja or 9 days pooja is performed to worship Lord Golu Devata, who is known as Goreel Devta in Chamoli District. Golu Devata is offered ghee, milk, curd, halwa, poori, and pakauri .Golu Devata is offered with White Cloths, white pagari and white shaal.
There are many temples of Golu Devata in Kumaun, and the most popular are at Chitai, Champawat, Ghorakhal, Chamarkhan (Tehsil Tarikhet, District Almora). It is popular belief that Golu Devata dispenses quick justice to the devotee.
Many devotees file a lot of written petitions daily, which are received by the temple. Goljyu is most respected god of Uttarakhand as he is like lord Ganesh of Uttarakhand. In every puja or any religious activities, the goljyu is invited.
