To know the history of the temple we must go back to Treta Yug when the virtuous people were tormented by the Asuras (demons) Ravana, Kumb-Karan, Khardooshan, Tadka, and others. The Gods decided to create a divine personality, in the roop (form) of a girl for their protection. The divine girl asked the Gods the cause and reason for her birth. The divine forces told her that she had been created to protect the Dharma and rekindle the spirit of religion. She took birth in South India at the home of Ratnakar Sagar as a girl named Trikuta. Later the same girl was called Vaishno because of her taking birth from Lord Vishnu’s lineage. The religion propagated by this goddess girl was called Vaishno-Dharm. Thus Lord Vishnu engaged in a fierce and long battle with the two Asuras at the end of which he killed them. In the episode of Madhu and Kaitabh, Goddess Durga Devi has been portrayed as the ‘Yoga Nidra’ whose powerful influence renders even Lord Vishnu helpless.

In her lifetime Trikuta attracted many devoted followers including saints. The fame of her divine power and miracle spread far and wide. People started visiting the abode of Trikuta to get benediction.

After some time Trikuta sought permission from her father for taking penance on the seashore. She prayed to Lord Vishnu in the form of Rama who reached the seashore along with his army in search of Sita, his eyes fell on this divine girl in deep meditation. Rama asked Trikuta her name and reason for penance. She replied that she had accepted Rama as her husband by mind and heart.

On hearing this Ram told her that he had vowed to be faithful to wife. However, Ram Ji wished that the penance of Trikuta should not go waste and unfruitful. Therefore, he said to her, “I will definitely come to see you in a disguised form. If you can recognize me at that time then I will accept you.”

It is said that on his return from Lanka, Lord Rama went to see the girl in the form of an old monk (Sadhu) but she did not recognize him as God.

He revealed his identity and assured Trikuta that in ‘Kaliyug’ he would manifest himself as ‘Kalki’ would marry her.

He asked Trikuta to meditate in the Trikuta Range of Manik Mountains, situated in north India. He said that Trikuta would become immortal forever and would become famous as ‘Mata Vaishno Devi’.

Thus Vaishnavi, in the form of a five and a half feet tall rock with three heads or the Pindies on the top is the ultimate destination of a devotee. These Pindies constitute the Sanctum Sanctorum of the holy cave known as the shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji, which is revered by one and all.

I truly believe and pray that those who come into this site with sincere faith will be blessed by Maa Durga. It is my sincere wish that you will help me in promoting Her name around the world and also by helping the poor and needy, which is my soul’s other intention. It is your love and faith in Mata Rani which brings miracles in your life and many of us are proof of that.
