Sacred Mission & Contemporary Overview:

Before the Mahabharata war, Barbarika (possessor of the three infallible Teen Baan arrows granted by Maa Kamakhya) vowed to fight on the side of whoever was losing. To preserve cosmic balance, Sri Krishna asked for Barbarika's head in charity on Shukla Dwadashi and blessed him: 'In Kaliyuga you shall be worshipped by My own name, Shyam, and become the refuge of the defeated (Hare Ka Sahara).'
