Bhairon Nath was enamored by Vaishnavi’s extraordinary beauty, and losing all good sense he began to pester Vaishnavi to marry him. Bhairon Nath on locating the ashram started observing Vaishnavi secretly, and realised that though a ‘Sadhvi’ she always carried bow and arrows with her, and was always surrounded by langoors (apes) and a ferocious looking lion. He, therefore, sent his most able disciple ‘Bhairon Nath’ to find out the truth. As time passed, a MahaYogi named Guru Gorakh Nath who had a vision of the episode between Lord Rama and Vaishnavi in the retrospective time frame, became curious to find out whether Vaishnavi has been able to attain a high level of spirituality or not. After reaching there she set up her ashram there and began to meditate.Īs predicted by Lord Rama, her glory spread far and wide, and people began to flock to her Ashram to seek her blessings. Vaishnavi, immediately set off for the northern part and after immense hardships, reached the foot of the Trikuta Hills. 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.Only then would ‘Vishnu’ merge her into himself. 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’ when He (Rama) would be in his incarnation of ‘Kalki’. Unfortunately, Vaishnavi was unable to recognize him this time and was distraught. 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. 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. 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. Vaishnavi thus relinquished all household comforts and went deep into the forest for Tapasaya (meditation). 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 close to her greater objective. 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. Sometimes later a very beautiful girl child was born to Ratankar and his wife. Once you have attained the appropriate level of consciousness you will merge into Vishnu and become one with him.” So saying they blessed the girl. Uphold righteousness and evolve yourself spiritually so that you reach higher levels of consciousness.
The Devis added, “Now, go and take birth in the house of Ratankar and his wife who reside in the southern part of India, and who are great devotees of ours.
The young girl asked them, “Why have I been created?” The Devis explained to her that they had created her so that she would live on earth and spend her time in upholding righteousness. A stunningly bright light emanated from the place where the Tejas of the three manifestations coalesced and a beautiful young girl emerged out of this Tejas. As per the legend, during the period when the Goddess was busy in annihilating the Asuras, Her three main manifestations Maa Maha Kali, Maa Maha Lakshmi and Maa Maha Saraswati got together one day and pooled their collective Tejas or spiritual strength.
