Vaishno Devi Temple History

When the population of the ungodly was increasing on the earth and religion was being destroyed. Then the three incarnations of Adishakti Mata Laxmi, Mata Durga, and Mata Saraswati, together revealed a woman. Multiple stories of Mata Vaishno Devi are popular in India. But we mentioned only factual data.


In the first story, a female child was born in Tretayuga to a Pandit Ratnakar in the village of Rameshwar, South India. Pandit named his daughter Vaishnavi. After the age of nine, Vaishnavi came to know that Lord Vishnu had also taken the incarnation of Rama at this Yuga. Then she accepted Rama as her husband and started doing penance to get him.

After Sita's abduction, when Ram reached Rameshwar in search of Sita, he saw this woman doing penance chanting Vishnu on the beach. Rama came close to knowing about her, and then Vaishnavi asked Rama to become her husband. But Rama said that he had already married with Sita. Later he said that when he took Kalki's incarnation in Kali Yuga, then she could become my wife. After saying this, he ordered that till then you should do penance in the Trikuta mountain of the Himalayas. And do welfare to the people of the earth.


Then Vaishnavi is still doing penance on the Trikuta mountain of Jammu, waiting for the Kalki in Kaliyuga. Which is known today as three stone-formed bodies in the cave of Mata Vaishno Devi. Which is in the main Bhavan. You can read this story in the Mahabhagavata Purana.
