Which Chandika of Kashi is worshipped on Margashirsha Purnima?
Among the nine hundred crore Chandikas established in the Kashi region by Nandi ji, the speaker says, Bhagavati Bhima Chandi is one of the chief Chandikas of Bhagavati Annapurna. Her special pujan too is performed on the day of Margashirsha Purnima itself. It is for this reason that this Purnima becomes extremely special in itself, and he asks listeners to do their sadhana and puja in this parva kaal as far as possible.
How many Chandikas are there in Kashi?
It is not five hundred or nine hundred Chandika devis, the speaker corrects: it is nine hundred crore Chandikas. He does not have their namavali — among so many Chandikas he knows only the names of the chief ones. And for their pleasure, when you do seva puja in the Kashi kshetra: their presence has been made for the protection of Kashi, so they will also stay in your protection and will protect their devotees too.
