Jammu, MAY 16:
Dharmarth Trust today celebrated Bagalamukhi Jayanti with traditional fervour and gaiety here at Natraj Temple inside the premises of historical Shree Raghunathji Temple, Jammu.
In this connection, a Hawan was solemnized by Pujaris of Shri Raghunath Temple followed by Aarti in the temple of Mata Bagalamukhiji. Ashok Kumar Sharma, IPS (Retd), Trust’s Secretary participated in the Hawan.
Giving details about the significance of Bagalamukhi Jayanti, the Temple Priest said that Mata Bagalamukhi is one of the ten Mahavidyas (great wisdom Goddesses) in Hinduism. “Mata Bagalamukhi Devi removes the devotees’ misconceptions and delusions (or the devotees’ enemies) with her cudgel. She is also known as Pitambara.”
Ashok Kumar Sharma said that Trust has the history of paying focused attention towards religious activities in the region and the people associated with this over hundred year’s old institution never fail in fulfilling their responsibility of carrying out conventional religious obligations.
He said that today’s celebrations of Mata Bagalamukhi Devi Jayanti and several others in the past are being carried out flawlessly in the temples and shrines of Dharmarth Trust since decades and every constituent of the Trust gives his or her hundred percent in ensuring success of these religious functions and events.
He urged the younger generation to visit the shrines and temples to have knowledge of rich culture and traditions associated with this great land of seers and saints.
Later, a Langar was also organized for devotees who took part in the celebrations.
