Himalayan Devi Yatra led by a four-horned sheep





Nanda Devi, a powerful manifestation of Devi Sati, that is dear to the people of Kumaon and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand, is honoured in a huge 21-day procession attended by thousands of people through the Uttarakhand Himalayas. The occasion called the Raj Jat is held once in 12 years and was attended by over 5,000 people who trekked through 280-km of difficult terrain to complete the Raj Jat. 

Nanda Devi chooses her ram (Male sheep) born with four horns instead of two! The Ram is understood to belong to the goddess and is brought up with a lot of care. At the culmination of the Raj Jat, the sheep is dressed in finery and precious metals and freed so it can ascend the Himalayas on its own. It is in fact the This is how Mahashakti Nanda Devi calls her ram home. 


May Bhagwati Nanda of the Himalayas bless us all with intelligence, compassion and abundance!

Brahmin worships the Devi blindfolded in this temple

 

The Chandrabadani temple in Pratap nagar, Uttarakhand does not have an idol but a Sri Yantra that is worshiped once a year by the Brahmin priests who tie a blindfold on their eyes before offering abhishek to the Goddess. 

The Chandrabadani temple stands at the spot where the torso (neck to waist) of Devi Sati's is said to have fallen during Shiva's tandava that followed the jumping of Mata Sati in the hawan kund of her father Himavat who had dishonoured her husband.  

As Sati's weapons are said to have also fallen  at this spot, hundreds of iron trishuls and statues are found every day around this temple.

May Mata Chandrabadani, the beloved of Lord Bholenath, protect us all!

When Chamunda turned vegetarian for her Jain devotees




According to Jain beliefs, Jain monk, Acharya Shrimad Vijay Ratnaprabhasuriji Maharaj Sahib, who visited Osian town near Jodhpur, Rajasthan, around 43 AD was pained to see buffaloes being sacrificed to please the goddess Chamunda in her temple during Navratri. 

The monk got the king to ban bali, and angered the goddess who subjected the monk to her anger. The monk suffered but refused to abandon ahimsa. The Goddess had a change of heart and agreed to accepting saffron, sandal and dhoop from her devotees. She was called as Sachi Mata by the monk and that is the name by which she is known to this day. In her aspect as Sachi Mata (Sachiya Mata), she is known to protect those who walk the path of the Tirthankars. Her temple attracts lakhs of devotees every year.  

May Mata Chamunda in her manifestation as Sachi Mata bless us all on the path of love, non-violence and cooperation. Jai Mata Di!

Spot where Mata Chandika rested after killing demons Chanda and Munda


Mata Chandika

Chandi Devi Temple, Haridwar
Asura king Shumbha dispatched his the demons Chanda and Munda to kill Chandi Devi, who was a manifestation of Devi Parvati. Chandi's anger created Chamunda, who destroyed Chanda and Munda and followed it by killing the asuras Shumbha and Nishumbha. 

Haridwar's famous Chandi Mandir marks the spot where Goddess Chandi rested after destroying the demons. A big fair is held during Chandi Chaudas at the temple every year. May Mata Chandika, the protector of her sons and daughters, bless us all!

Did this Devi's anger cause the Uttarakhand disaster?




Dhari Devi is Mata Kalika in the aspect of protector of Uttarakhand's Char Dhams (Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri). Her temple, situated on  the Srinagar-Badrinath Highway, is one of the 108 Shakti Sthals mentioned in the Shrimad Devi Bhagwat.

Sadly, the Devi's idol was moved from its mool sthan to make way for a hydroelectric project. A king had attempted to shift the idol in the same manner with similar consequences. The Kedarnath valley had suffered a massive landslide with considerable loss to life and property.

In 2013, according to various reports the Devi was consulted through Tantrik methods about the shift and he was advised against it. However, the company GVK Ltd went ahead with the shift, and ten days later Kedarnath suffered the most massive slide in known history and took massive toll of life and property from which Uttarakhand is still a long way from recovering. The locals strongly believe that it was the Devi's anger that caused the tragedy. 

May Devi Dhari Kalika protect all her devotees!

Shri Radhe Maa - Saint who lived in the Samshaan



Bamakhepa (1837-1911), Ma Tara's beloved son, who was also known as the 'mad saint' lived near the Tarapith temple in Birbhum district of West Bengal and was often found meditating in the smashan bhoomi. People thought him mad because he behaved in strange ways. He was once beaten up by the temple pujaris when he ate the offering meant for the Devi. That night, Maa Tara appeared in the dream of Maharani of Natore. "Feed my son before you feed me." she ordered. 

Thereafter, Bamakhepa, the great tantric master, was always fed before the Devi.

May Sri Bamakhepa, the apple of Maa Tara's eyes, bless us with devotion to her feet.
