It is believed that Baba Balak Nath takes birth in every age. He appeared as Skand in Satyug. He appeared as Kaul in Treta and as Mahakaul in Dwapar. In Dwapar age Baba Balak Nath wished to meet Lord Shiva. He met an old lady on the way to Kailash Dham. The old lady advised him to pray to Mata Parwati. Pleased with his devotion Lord Shiva blessed him to be Paramsidh in the Kaliyug. He would remain a Balak and age would not affect him.
Dev was very religious from his childhood and he used to pray all the times. When he was so much under pressure for marriage he left home and moved towards Girnar Parwat in the search of Paramsiddhi. He met Swami Dattatreya in Junagarh. Here at the ashram of Swami Dattatreya, he got divine knowledge and emerged as Sidh. As Lord Shiva had blessed him that age will not affect him he remained as a child and called Balak Nath.
