ये हैं बंदा बैरागी, महान बलिदानी, जिसे मुगलों ने उनके बच्चे की हत्या कर मांस खिलाया था

9 जून को बन्दा बैरागी का बलिदान दिवस है। कितने युवाओं ने उनके अमर बलिदान की गाथा सुनी है? बहुत कम। क्योंकि किसी पाठयक्रम में कहीं भी बंदा बैरागी का नाम नहीं मिलता।#Thread
बन्दा बैरागी का जन्म 27 अक्तूबर, 1670 को ग्राम तच्छल किला, पुंछ में श्री रामदेव के घर में हुआ। उनका बचपन का नाम लक्ष्मणदास था। युवावस्था में शिकार खेलते समय उन्होंने एक गर्भवती हिरणी पर तीर चला दिया। इससे उसके पेट से एक शिशु निकला और तड़पकर वहीं मर गया,
यह देखकर उनका मन खिन्न हो गया। उन्होंने अपना नाम माधोदास रख लिया और घर छोड़कर तीर्थयात्रा पर चल दिये। अनेक साधुओं से योग साधना सीखी और फिर नान्देड़ में कुटिया बनाकर रहने लगे।
