Vaishno Devi Mandir

About Mata Vaishno Devi Mandir in Katra, Jammu 

I visited Mata Vaishno Devi twice. This blog is about my firsthand experiences at the ancient Hindu shrine. Mata Vaishno Devi, the compassionate Mother Goddess, is claimed to grant all of a devotee's desires and wishes. Mata Vaishno Devi is also known as Mata Rani, Vaishnavi, Ambe, or Trikuta.

How was Mata Vaishno Devi formed?

According to Sanatan Dharm aka Hinduism, the powers of the Hindu Goddesses Maa Saraswati, Lakshmi ji, and Maa Kali have combined to become Mata Vaishno Devi during the Treta Yuga, the second Yuga.

Bhudevi, also known as Vasundhara or Bhumi, is the earth goddess. Bhudevi is also known as Sita ji's mother, as she was born on Earth in the Hindu epic Ramayana. Bhumidevi, the consort of Varaha, Bhagwan Vishnu's boar-like third avatar, is also called Varahi.

When Goddess Bhumi was afflicted by demonic spirits that had taken over the Earth, she sought help from the male trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, but was unsuccessful. When the male trinity appeared weak, their consorts, the female trinity of Saraswati ji, Lakshmi ji, and Parvati ji (Maa Kali), stepped in to help.

The feminine trinity of Hindu goddesses combined their most potent characteristics and powers to create the new Goddess Mata Vaishno Devi. She waged war after war until she achieved victory. The trinity was so impressed by Vaishno Mata's powers that they offered her to remain on Earth and defend it permanently.

Why is Mata Vaishno Devi famous?

Mata Vaishno Devi is well-known for representing crores of people's faith. Throughout the year, crores of devotees visit Mata Vaishno Devi without the use of modern marketing techniques or advertisements. It is one of the most well-known Hindu temples in the world.

The Ramayana Connection of Vaishno Devi

Aside from the aforementioned Bhumi Devi connection between Vaishno Devi and Ramayan, she also has an intriguing story about Shri Ram, Vishnu ji's seventh and gentlest avatar. Much later, Mata Vaishno Devi reincarnated on Earth as the daughter of a Brahmin couple. She had always been a dedicated bhakt, or devotee, of Vishnu Bhagwan. She wanted to marry him when she grew up.

Mata Vaishno Devi would meditate in a cave for hours in order to grant her wish and impress Vishnu ji. Her tapasya paid off when Vishnu ji, as Shri Ram, appeared in front of her. Sri Ram asserted that he was unable to marry Mata Vaishno Devi because he was already married and was searching for his wife Mata Sita, whom the demon King or Asura Ravan had kidnapped and carried to Sri Lanka.  

When Ram ji saw her distress, he promised her that if she could recognise him, he would return to her and marry her one day. True to his word, Shri Ram, popularly known as Lord Rama in the West, returned to Mata Vaishno Devi as an elderly man. She did not recognise him, therefore they could not marry in Treta Yug. 

The Mahabharata Connection of Vaishno Devi

It is stated that before the great Mahabharat war at Kurukshetra began, Arjun prayed to Devi for blessings, as instructed by Shri Krishna, the 8th avatar of Vishnu Bhagwan. Devi was gratified by his devotion and revealed herself as Mata Vaishno Devi. Arjun recites the strotam 'Jambookatak Chityaishu Nityam Sannihitalaye'.

Before the ancient Kurukshetra battle began, Shri Krishna directed Arjun to visit Jammu and seek Maa's favor. In fact, it is widely accepted that the Pandavas built the first temples after Mahabharat at Bhawan and Kol Kandoli. The five stone structures on a mountain near Trikuta Hills represent the Pandeva's brothers.

🕉 🚩 🇮🇳 🔱 ⠀ ⠀ The Mehandipur Balaji Mandir is a noted Hindu temple in Dausa district of Rajasthan, dedicated to the Hindu deity Hanuman. The name Balaji is applied to Shri Hanuman in several parts of India because the childhood (Bala in Hindi or Sanskrit) form of the Lord is especially celebrated there. The temple is dedicated to Balaji (another name for Shree Hanuman Ji). Unlike similar religious sites it is located in a town rather than the countryside. Its reputation for ritualistic healing and exorcism of evil spirits attracts many pilgrims from Rajasthan and elsewhere.⠀ ⠀ The temple of Balaji Maharaj built in Mehandipur is very famous especially in northern part of India. The first Mahant of the temple was Shri Ganeshpuriji Maharaj and the present Mahant of the temple Shri Kishorpuriji is very strict to follow vegetarian and reading holy books.⠀ ⠀ The person who is suffering from evil spirits (Sankatwalas) get relief from distress by methods like Arji, Sawamani, and Darkhast. Bhog of Boondi ke Laddu offering to Shri Balaji Maharaj, Rice and Urad pulse to Bhairav Baba (Kotval Kaptan, head of army and Shri Pretraj Sarkar, king of evil spirits). Saturday and Tuesday are the busiest days in the temple because both these days are the days of Hanumanji. Some other temples near Balaji temple are Anjani Mata temple, Kali Mata at Teen Pahaad, Panchmukhi Hanumanji, Ganeshji temple at Saat Pahaad, Samadhi Wale Baba (the first mahant), are some important temples in Mehandipur Balaji.⠀ ⠀ The temple has been known for many years, for exorcism from evil spirits attachments and black magic or spells.
