Guruji and GuruAmma in front of Devipuram

NithyaVaid

For more detail on Bālā, I would recommend you read Chapter 26 of Lalitopakhyana "Bhaṇḍāsura’s sons slain"

Here's a small excerpt:

73-77a. She was the daughter of Lalitā Devi. She always stayed near the goddess. She was worthy of being worshipped by all Śaktis. She was an adept in martial feats and exploits. Her form and features were like those of Lalitā. She was always like a nine year old girl yet she was a great mine of all lores. Her body was like the rising sun. Her creeper-like slender body was in complexion. She was perpetually present near the foot-rest of the great queen. She was at it were the vital breath of the goddess moving externally. She was her fourth eye. She became furious and thought thus: “I shall immediately kill those sons of Bhaṇḍa who have come here”. After making up her mind thus, Bālāmbā submitted to the great queen.

      """Sampatkarī is a warrior goddess who heads Lalita's calvary (part of army fighting on horseback)

      Aśvārūḍha is a warrior goddess who heads Lalita's elephant corps (part of the army fighting on elephants)"""

      Isnt Sampatkari, the godess heading elephants? and Asvarudha the horses?

          Namaskaar Guruma🙏🙏🙏I seek clarification on the Devi bala as anga devata of Lalitha. Should be chant bala navakshari or bala shadakshari as anga devata of panchadasi??

            Paraśurama Kalpa Sūtra gives a 9-syllable mantra for Bālā. But you should chant the mantra that was given to you by your Guru. Usually, it's a 6-syllable one.

              Do we chant anga , upanga, pratyanga devata mantras before moola mantra for Raja Shyama and maha varahi. I see in PKS and Gurujis Rashmimala audio that he chanted in the beginging

              Please advice. I greatly appreciate

                PKS doesn't specifically mention that requirement, it does however mention that the devotee who's initiated into the mantras of Rāja Śyāmalā, Mahā Vārāhī, and Lalitā should recite the respective vighnahara mantras before proceeding to do japa.

                  Thanks for clearing my doubt. My sincere appreciation and gratitude for the knowledge shared with us. I”ll do vignaharta mantras as prescribed before the moola mantras

                    Sri Matreh Namah 🙏🏼Today I was wondering why Lalitā Devī has a bindu made of kastouri and not a proper third eye.

                    Here is the answer, Bālā is Her third eye. I’m amaze how I get responses to almost all the questions.

                    This path is so magical in so many ways I’m very very grateful ! Harih Om
