खाटू श्याम जी मंत्र और फाल्गुन मेला
Khatu Shyam Ji is worshipped as the Kali Yuga avatar of Barbarika, the grandson of Bhima, who gave his head in sacrifice and was blessed by Krishna to be worshipped by his own name, Shyam. Known as "Haare ka Sahara" (the support of the defeated), he is one of the most beloved deities of Rajasthan and North India. The Phalgun Mela at Khatu draws millions. These are the mantras and prayers for Khatu Shyam Ji.
Khatu Shyam Aarti
The beloved aarti of Shyam Baba, sung morning and evening at Khatu and in homes — "Om Jai Shri Shyam Hare". Wave the lamp before Khatu Shyam Ji with devotion.
Khatu Shyam Chalisa
The forty-verse Khatu Shyam Chalisa, recited for the grace of Shyam Baba, the giver of refuge to the helpless and the fulfiller of wishes.
Shyam Baba Mantra
Chant "Om Shyam Devaya Namah" and "Hare ka Sahara Baba Shyam Hamara" with love — Khatu Shyam, being a form of Krishna, responds to the call of the devoted.
Krishna Prayers — Shyam is Krishna
Since Barbarika received Krishna's own name "Shyam", recite the Krishna Aarti and Krishna Chalisa, and chant "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya", for Khatu Shyam is Krishna himself.
