| ABOUT 700 years ago
a tailor by name Damasheti lived in Pandharpur. Gonai was his wife. Namadeva or Namdeo, as
he is popularly called, was born to them as their son. Everyday Dama went tothe Vithoba temple at Pandharpur, and worshipped God Vithal there. Have you been to Pandharpur? It is situated on the banks of Bhima. God Vithal is worshipped here. He is in a standing pose. Vithal is really God Krishna. After puja, Dama used to offer naivedya or food to the God. Only after doing so did he return home. Once Dama had to go out of town. So, he asked his young son Namdeo to go to the Vithoba temple and offer puja and naivedya to God Vithal. |
