BAGLAMUKHI MAHAVIDYA

      BAGLAMUKHI MAHAVIDYA


Baglamukhi or Bagala is an important deity among the ten Mahavidyas worshipped with great devotion in Hinduism. The term Baglamukhi is derived from the word Bagla or Valga meaning the saddle used to control the horse. This very powerful goddess is also called as Sthambini Devi or Brahmastra Roopini. This means she is so powerful enough to make the target motionless and still. Worshipping Ma Baglamukhi is the sure way to control the enemies and win over them.

There are multiple stories of origin concerning this goddess, both of which result in the reputation that she holds today. The first myth starts with a cosmic storm that threatened to destroy the universe. In the height of the chaos, Visnu prayed to Tripura-Sundari, who brought forth Bagalamukhi. Visnu watched as she calmed the storm with her great powers. The second origin myth demonstrates the more violent side of Bagalamukhi, as she was prayed to by other gods to stop the demon, Madan, from his rampage of killing people. In order to stop him Bagalamukhi pulled out his tongue to prevent the power of speech, which is a common tactic used by this scorned goddess.



There are several different appearances that Bagalamukhi holds, however, she is most often associated with the color yellow and even referred to as Pitambrara-devi, “she who is dressed in yellow. She wears yellow clothing, prefers yellow offerings, and wishes that her devotees wear the color yellow, sit on a yellow garment, and use turmeric beads when reciting her mantra. All of these wishes are laid out in the Pujapaddhati, the instructions for her worship.
