The Mother Who Calls Her Children
Vaishnavi’s devotion, Bhairon Nath’s pursuit, and the Mother’s forgiveness.
IA Life of Devotion
Vaishnavi’s Tapasya
The young devotee Vaishnavi gave her whole life to prayer and meditation. Seeking stillness, she left home and went to meditate in the Trikuta mountains.
IIThe Pursuit
Bhairon Nath Follows Her
Bhairon Nath pursued her up the mountain. She took refuge in a cave, then revealed her true form as Mahakali and struck him down. His head fell on a nearby hill.
IIIThe Mother’s Mercy
Forgiveness on the Mountain
As he died, Bhairon repented. The Mother forgave him and blessed him: a pilgrim’s yatra would be complete only after his darshan. That is why devotees climb on to the Bhairon Baba temple after seeing her.
In the holy cave she remains as three natural rock Pindis — Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati.
