About this ebook

The holy cave of Vaishnov Mata (Holy Virgin) is situated at a distance of 13 KM from Katra town of Jammu Province of the Jammu and Kashmir State. From Jammu city, the cave is situated at a distance at 64 KM. The cave is 5,200 feet above sea level, and is carved in the heart of a triple-peaked mountain called Trikuta. It has a narrow entrance and is about 100 feet long. Along its length, flows a stream of cold and crystal water. In the sanctum sanctorum of the cave there are three projections over a rock which symbolically represents the powers of Vaishnov Mata (Holy Virgin). Along the trek from the base camp at Katra there are important halting stages which have a mystic significance for the true pilgrim. The upward journey starts from Bana Ganga. The main halting stage of Ad Kunwari (Primordial Virgin) is half-way between the cave and the base camp at Katra. From Ad Kunwari begins the steep climb to Hathi Matha (Elephant's Brow). Every year, millions of pilgrims visit the holy cave of Vaishnov Mata. However, the story and the philosophy behind the great shrine is very little known to the people. In this world some great ideas, with the passage of time, suffer perversion. Perverted form of these ideas gives rise to devilish cults which plague the world and destroy peace and harmony, and prevent the spreading of true knowledge. After a certain period of time some great event takes place which paves the 6 way for the destruction of the bushy growth of dark cults; and the minds of men and women are liberated from the shackles of ignorance. In the poem ‘The Holy Virgin’ a sincere attempt has been made to divulge every aspect of the story behind the great shrine of Vaishnov Mata. In the poem you will find Krishna, accompanied by his consort Kamni, going on the pilgrimage to the holy cave. After starting the trek from the base camp, Kamni has some apprehensive vision. Krishna explains the meaning of the dreadful vision, and then through the power of Yoga makes Kamni, in his own companionship, visualize the whole story and philosophy behind the shrine.
