Devi Bagalamukhi is the eighth Dasha Mahavidya and is
misunderstood by many people just like Devi Chinnamasta is. Wikipedia article
can be found at : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagalamukhi
Devi Bagalamukhi is known to paralyze enemies. Her moola
mantra itself spells out in detail the requests by Her devotee to enable
paralyzing the speech, mind and motion of his enemies. That does NOT mean that
She can be used to destroy fellow human beings. The keyword in the mantra is “Sarva
Dhustanaam” which is loosely translated as “enemies”. The enemies that are
referred to here are of an esoteric level. Anything that perturbs your divine
peace of mind is an enemy; all the enemies are inside our own selves. The emotions
of ego, greed, anger, etc are our real enemies; it is these emotions that have
to be controlled and subdued.
Once these enemies are subdued, one can return to a state of
mind that is in divine peace. And Devi Bagalamukhi can help a devotee
accomplish that. She will provide you the ability to control your tongue, so
you speak graceful words; She will provide you the ability to control your
anger so you can be in peace with yourself and others and so on.
The Bagalamukhi Shatanama Stotram is a hundred name hymn in
praise of Goddess Bagalamukhi and is really beautiful. I must give credit to
Kishore, my brother-in-law for providing me this stotram. It gives me joy to
listen to it and hopefully you will enjoy it too!
And now the audio: 4 minutes and 12 seconds long.
