🌻 Upasana of Bagala Mukhi 🌻
In reality, I belong to Bangala Desam. I worship Bagala Mukhi. She is one of the ‘Dasa Maha Vidyas’. People who want destruction of enemity at individual level, worship this Devi. She is the ‘killing power’ (samhaara Shakti) of Parameswara.
For people who live righteously and remain as one in mind, speech and actions will have vak siddhi. If they say something, it will become true. There are three types of speech Para, Pashyanthi and Madhyama. In Satya Yugam, one frightful storm came to destroy the entire world.
Vishnu Bhagawan was upset seeing the danger to Jeevas. When He did penance Srividya Mahadevi expressed as Bagala Mukhi and manifested to Srimannarayana and made that storm immobile. Some people think of Her as Vyshnavi Devi.
She manifested on Tuesday on the Chaturdasi (14th day of lunar month) in the midnight. She is the form of ‘Sthambhana Shakti’ (the power that immobilises the enemy). Because of Her, Aditya mandalam (solar system) is existing. Similarly the heaven also is existing.
She can grant worldly pleasures and also other world’s pleasures. She will immobilize the ‘dark powers’ which cause ill luck and bad powers which cause turbulence in sadhaka’s life. Thus she gives assurance to the spiritual progress of sadhaka.
She is also called by other names like Badaba Mukhi, Jaataveda Mukhi, Ulka Mukhi, Jwala Mukhi and Bruhadbha Mukhi. Initially, Brahmadeva did upasana of Bagala Maha Vidya.
Brahma Deva saw this Mahadevi in Tirumala in the form of Bala and worshipped. Brahma also worshipped this Murthi as Sri Padmavathi Venkateswara and started the Brahmotsavas. Brahma Deva taught this ‘Maha Vidya’ to Maharshi Sanaka and others.
The most important one who worshipped this Bagala Mukhi after Brahma, is Vishnu. After that, Parasurama also worshipped her. I came to Peethikapuram while roaming sacred places. I had darshan of Sri Kukkuteswara Devasthanam.
There I saw a cute boy. The boy told me. “I know that you have come from Bangala Desam. I was tied up here in this temple in the form of Swayambhu Datta for a long time till recently. It was extremely sultry.
I was not able to breathe properly. So I requested the priests to do ‘upachaaras’ to cool me. They declined. Having no option, I said I would go out. They said, ‘You don’t go. We will throw you out’. So I came out just now.’
I understood the inner meaning of His words that He was indeed Datta Prabhu, He was not being worshipped with proper devotion, the Brahmins were allowing ‘untouchables’ inside the temple, and that Sri Datta Prabhu Himself took avathar to save the down trodden and people in distress.
I requested Him to give darshan to me in the form of my chosen Goddess. That Maha Prabhu smiled. I had darshan of Bagala Mukhi. My bodily eyes could not see that great lumiscence. I fell unconscious.
Some people there, with pity, put me on a mat under the shade of a tree. Really it was not unconsciousness. He gave me the experience of Brahmananda.
Experiencing that ‘divine ananda’, I lay there for 8 days. There was no pulse beat or heart beat. The people in that village were not able to understand my situation.
