“Yog Gyanacharya would come to pray to Goddess Ugratara Bajrayogini every day. He would take care of the premises and perform daily rituals. He devoted his life to the goddess. The goddess was happy. One day, the goddess herself appeared before Yog Gyanacharya and told him that she was happy with his devotion and that she would only stay in the premises as long as his line of blood take this responsibility.”
When was this?
“Satya Yug.*”
And you are his…
“Line of Blood.”
Suraj Bajra Bajracharya, Bajrayogini Temple, Bajrayogini, Kathmandu

*The Satya Yuga (Devanagari: सत्य युग), also called Sat Yuga, Krta Yuga and Krita Yuga in Hinduism, is the “Yuga (Age or Era) of Truth”, when humanity is governed by gods, and every manifestation or work is close to the purest ideal and humanity will allow intrinsic goodness to rule supreme. It is sometimes referred to as the “Golden Age”. The Satya Yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. The goddess Dharma (depicted in the form of cow), which symbolises morality, stood on all four legs during this period. Later in the Treta Yuga it would become three, and two in the later Dvapara Yuga. Currently, in the immoral age of Kali, it stands on one leg.
