Goddess Lakshmi insisted Goddess Parvati for help, thereby Goddess Sharda and Goddess Parvati in the form Kalika, went to the region. Goddess Lakshmi incarnated in spiritual form, because physically, she had already taken birth as Goddess Vedavati who later on would become Sita in next incarnation. So, Mother Parvati herself took a physical appearance, with the soul of “Lakshmi” and Goddess of knowledge, Saraswati. The girl born was named “Kumari”. Saraswati, Kali and Lakshmi dropped three pindies (Sacred stones) as their true forms, where they will be present till the end of Kaliyuga. To make the devil not known about the birth of the Goddess, Lord Shiva shifted the mountain to Earth. When the devil entered the place who was running after Lord Vishnu, saw a little girl. She killed him and there by Vishnu got another name called Murari.
Since her soul was of Lakshmi so she wanted to have Vishnu as her consort. She incarnated in the house of Lord Ratnakar, this time Narada named her “Trikuta”. The girl right from her childhood displayed a hunger for knowledge which was like a vortex and which no amount of teaching and learning could sufficiently satiate. Subsequently, Vaishnavi started looking into her inner self for knowledge, and soon learned the art of meditation and realized that meditation and penance only could bring her closer to her greatest objective. Vaishnavi thus relinquished all household comforts and went deep into the forest for meditation.
When she heard that Lord Rama moved to forest for exile, Trikuta also went to forests. Meanwhile, Lord Rama, during his fourteen years of exile, happened to visit Vaishnavi who recognized him immediately as no ordinary being but the incarnation of Lord Vishnu and immediately asked him to merge her into himself so that she could become one with the supreme creator. However Lord Rama, knowing that it was not the appropriate time, dissuaded her by saying that he would visit her again after the end of his exile, and at that time if she succeeded in recognizing him, he would fulfill her wish. True to his words, Rama visited her again after being victorious in the battle, but this time he did so in the disguise of an old man. Unfortunately, she couldn’t recognize him this time and was distraught. Upon this, Lord Rama consoled her that the appropriate time for her being one with the creator had not come and that time would come eventually in ‘Kaliyug’. Rama also directed her to meditate and set up an Ashram at the base of Trikuta hills to elevate her level of spirituality so as to bless mankind and rid the poor and destitute of their sufferings. Vaishnavi, immediately set off for the Northern part and after immense hardships, reached the foot of the Trikuta Hills. After reaching there she set up her ashram there and began to meditate.
The goddess after halting at Banganga, Charan Paduka and Adhkwari, finally reached the holy cave Shrine. It is said that she stayed in the cave for 9 complete months . After that when she came out Hanuman was there to guard her. She wanted to wash herself but there was no water in the vicinity, so she took an arrow and shot it towards the land when water came out from that place which is now known as Ban-Ganga. After this she moved on further to now situated Shrine and took rest and started to meditate. Bhairav, after knowing her presence went there, where he was stopped by Hanuman . A fierce battle started between the two, so the Goddess was compelled to kill him. Bhairav Nath met his ultimate fate when the Goddess, just outside the mouth of the cave, beheaded him. Bhairav’s head fell with force on a distant hilltop. Upon his death, he realized the futility of his mission and prayed to the deity to forgive him. The almighty Mother Goddess showed mercy on Bhairav and gave him a boon that every devotee of the Goddess would have to have the Darshans of Bhairav after having the Darshan of the Goddess and only then would the yatra of a devotee be complete. Meanwhile, Vaishnavi decided to shed off her human form and assuming the face of a rock she immersed herself into meditation forever.
This shrine is among one of the most religious shrines of Hindus and millions of devotees visits this place throughout the year. It is also true that the Mother Goddess fulfills all the desires of Her devotees. Then what can be said about the fortune of those people who would be blessed with the company of Gurudev and get great dikshas at this place. Gurudev will be blessing all the disciples with dikshas near the cave and in the open area near the Bhairav temple.
