Bagalamukhi Sahasranamam Audio



Bagalamukhi Devi is the eighth Dasha Mahavidya and is a very powerful deity. I had the blessing of meeting Swami Divya Chetananandji Maharaj at the beautiful Para Shakthi temple in Michigan, during the Rajagopuram Kumbhabhishekam celebrations in 2015. This temple has been built by the Great Dr. G. Krishna Kumar, Whom I consider as a form of Para Shakthi Devi Herself ! Swami Divya Chetananandji Maharaj is an ardent bhaktha of Devi Bagalamukhi and I was able to speak to Him for about fifteen minutes. Initially of course, I asked Him if I could get mantra deeksha of Bagalamukhi moola mantra. He did not give me that; but told me that even to get a darshan of a Siddha Purusha and Santh, one has to have Divine grace and hence I should be happy.
He told me I should be positive and be happy that if I did not have the grace of Devi, I could not be reciting their Sahasranamams or performing their homams. I reflected and meditated on what the Guruji had said and two days later I called up and said in Hindi: “Guruji, thank you for your advice. Now I am Poorna ( full ); and I have no need for anything; I am happy and contented; thank you for raising my awareness.”

The Bagalamukhi Sahasranama Stotram is a thousand 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: 35 minutes long.

Bagalamukhi Shatanama Stotram Audio


 

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.
