The Five Limbs (Panchanga) of Bala

This is the first English translation of the five limbs, or panchanga, of the aspect of Goddess known as
Bala Tripura. Bala means "girl", this aspect of the Red Goddess is the most highly erotic of Her three
aspects, as the 1,000 names show. Bala is an adolescent woman, Tripurasundari a mother, and
Tripurabhairavi a woman in whom menstruation has ceased.

Bala's root mantra is aim klim sauh

The five limbs of a ritual panchanga are Patala, Paddhati, Kavacha (Armour), 1,000 Names, and Stotra.
The first gives the unfolding of the mantra, usually in coded form. It also describes the meditation image
and the yantra of the devata, as well as various optional rites. The second limb describes the ritual
worship, including worship of the avarana or attendants of the devata, which are really aspects of the god
or goddess. The kavacha is an "armour" used to ward off evil and which may either be recited or written
and then worn on the body. The fourth limb consists of the 1,000 names, of which there are very many
sets in the tantrik literature. The fifth, the Stotra, is the hymn of praise of the ishtadevata, the tutelary
devata of a tantrik sadhaka.

Bala Patala
In the Kali Yuga there is no other Vidya resembling this Vidya. It is said that Shri Bala Tripura gives siddhi
quickly.
One should place "Shakti" (Sauh) at the end of 'Vagbhava" (Aim) and "Kamaraja" (Klim), ending this with
Namah.
Dakshinamurti is the Seer, Pankti is the Metre for pronunciation, the Goddess if Tripura-Bala, "Aim" is the
Seed, "Sauh" the Shakti. "Klim" is the linchpin. Its application is towards Dharma, Artha, Kama and
Moksha.
One should do (six fold) Nyasa on the head, on the mouth, in the heart, on the feet, on the navel lotus and
in all the limbs, O Devi.
One should do Nyasa according to the rules doing Seer, Hand and Limb nyasa, using the bijas of the
mantra, O Maheshvari.
Now I speak of Her meditation, advantageous for all sadhakas:
I meditate on Bala, clothed in red, with a digit of the Moon as Her ornament, effulgent as the rising sun,
with three eyes, holding a book and a rosary, showing the gestures of removing fear and giving, seated
on a red lotus.
Having meditated in this way one should repeat the mantra which gives success. A pure sadhaka should
prepare (the mantra by reciting it) 300,000 times.

One should worship the Shaktis of the pedestal when inscribing the Yantra. The pedestal Shaktis are Will
(Iccha), Knowledge (Jnana), Action (Kriya), Lotus-Girl (Kamini), Giver of Sexuality (Kamadayini), Sexual
Pleasure (Rati), Loving the Bliss of Sexual Pleasure (Ratipriyananda), and Mind-Born (Manonmani) lastly.
One should place these Shaktis round the pedestal using the mantra "Vyoma Parvata Tartiya Sadashiva
Mahapadam Pitha Padmasanaya Namah". This is the pedestal Mantra. Having put, in order, these 16
syllables around the image (Yantra) one should recite the root mantra.

Shri Bala Paddhati

Now I will declare the Paddhati in its spoken form - the essence of Shri Bala Tripureshvari, the Giver of
Happiness. Having done morning acts those who are devoted should worship Devi. This puja is fruitless
for those impure at the Three (Twilights).

Armour of Shri Bala Tripurasundari

Shri Bhairavi said - Devadeva, Mahadeva, expander of devotees who please You, the Armour of Devi is
hidden. Speak of this to Me!
Shri Bhairava -- Listen Devi, I speak of the Armour difficult to get even for gods. One should never reveal
this high secret, which gives the wished for siddhi to a sadhaka. The Seer of the Armour is Dakshinamurti.
Pankti is the Metre. The Devi is Tripurasundari. Its application in puja is the four aims of Mankind. She
wears a pearl diadem, coiled earrings, armlets, a necklace of gems; pearl finger rings; effulgent bracelets
and other jewels; a golden hip girdle, glittering anklets; her navel is adorned with a ruby, and she has a
bracelet of shells, with a Kala of the Moon on her forehead. She holds a noose, a goad, a book and a
rosary in her upper hands and the other hands.
May the Vagbhava Aim protect my head, and the Kamaraja Klim my heart! May the Shakti Bija Sauh
protect me in my navel, genitals and feet!
May Aim Klim Sauh protect my face, and Bala shield me in my siddhi! May Ha Sa Ka La Hrim Sauh
Bhairavi shield my throat, and may Sa Ka La Sundari shield me in the region of the navel!
May Mahatripurasundari shield my brow, and the point between my eyes! Subhaga protect my forehead!
Bhaga shield my throat! Bhagodevi protect my heart! Bhagasarpini, shield my belly!
Bhagamala, shield my navel! Manobhava, protect my penis! May the auspicious Lady, the Queen of
Queens, the Mahadevi, shield my anus!
Mother of the Cosmos (Jagad Ambika), form of Consciousness, protect my feet! Narayani, protect me at
night! Shubhankari shield me in all my actions!
May Brahmani protect me in the East, and Vaishnavi in the South! May Varahi protect me in the West,
and Maheshvari in the North! May Kaumari protect me in the South East, and Mahalakshmi in the South
West! May Chamunda protect me in the North West, and Indrani in the North East!

Mahamaya, protect me in Water! Sarvamangala, shield me in Earth! Varada, protect me in Aether!

Bhuvaneshvari, protect me everywhere!
This Armour is called "Names of the Goddess" and is hard to obtain! The pure person with concentrated
mind should arise and recite it at dawn.
Whoever does it knows no fear or disease. Nor is he afraid of death or anxious about sin. He is never
poor, nor is he vanquished by death. He dwells in the realm of Shiva, O Devi. I say to You that this is most
certainly true.
O Auspicious One, whosoever should recite this Armour having not been initiated into Shri Vidya gains no
fruit, but is struck by lightning.

The 1,000 Names of Bala

Of this 1,000 Name-Hymn of Shri Bala Sundari, Bhargava is the Seer, Anushtubh is the Metre, Shri Bala
Tripura is the Devata. Aim is the Seed, Sauh is the Shakti, Klim the linchpin. The application by reading it
are the four aims of Mankind.
Rishi Nyasa :Hail to Bhargava the Seer on the head; Hail to Anushtubh the Metre on the mouth; Hail to
Shri Bala the Devata in the heart; Hail to the Seed Aim in the genitals; Hail to the Shakti Sauh on the feet;
Hail to the Linchpin Klim on the navel; Hail to the Application on all the limbs.
Aim hail to the thumbs; Klim obeisance to the index fingers; Sauh hail to the middle fingers; Aim hail to the
ring fingers; Klim hail to the little fingers; Sauh to the front and backs of the hands hail Thus the heart and
other Nyasa are related. Meditation-)
f he should recite day and night, without idleness, he becomes peaceful of mind, and all created things in
all the worlds become subject to him, there is no doubt of it.
If one should perform the yoga continually for six months, one becomes the (very essence of) Yogamaya,
without question. Whosoever reads this ultimate hymn whilst meditating on Kamakala has women in a
state of subjugation seeking him, intoxicated with sexual desire, beautiful, mad with lust, with beautiful
enraptured eyes. He knows satiety of love through feminine desire, in this act of subjugation.
On a fortunate day, having written the yantra of Devi on birch-bark, colouring it with rochana, kumkum,
lac, red dye, or sunflowers, making the womb of the yantra (=triangle) of gold or silver hue, very alluring,
one should awaken Bala, having worshipped and established Her. If one should then carry this on one 's
head, throat, shoulder, or near to one's heart or navel, one becomes wealthy, victorious, and gains love.
There is nothing greater than this in the three Worlds for protection, most certainly. Planets, diseases, and
so forth, anxieties, are all banished, one gains happiness and health, it is the cause of strength and virility,
and destroys cruel elements and enemies.
It gives sons, daughters, increases a host of qualities, gives wealth and grain. In whichever city this best
of sadhaka dwells, whilst bearing Her, wealth is gained. In whichever dwelling this stotra is placed and
written out, O Varanana, there I - Shiva, Hari and Kamala always dwell, and it is as if all the sacred waters
spring from this place.

If the best of sadhakas should recite and read this devotedly he knows Knowledge, Bliss and Unity. O
Deveshi, by reading this hymn, one gains the fruit of worship. One should recite it very carefully having
established oneself in the six fold Nyasa. In the best of all tantras is the puja of Bala. There the 16 letters
are the greatest thing. This, the best of all hymns, is found there.
O Sundari, one should never give this to those who are not pupils, the impure, fraudulent, indolent, who
make no efforts, the undevoted, those deficient of Vishnu bhakti, the unstable or the stupid. It should be
given to those who are devoted, as it is the cause of liberation, and augments devotion. O Varanana,
whilst engaging in sexual intercourse (Latayoga), one may read the hymn. One becomes like the Aeon
Creeper (Kalpalata), and the fruit of one's desires are achieved.
If a sadhaka should steadily recite this whilst in Latayoga, offering blossoms to the gazelle-eyed (partner),
he is blessed with the results of 100 sacrifices (Yajna). O Deveshi, Brahma and the other (devatas)
worship his feet, he himself becomes like Shiva -- that discriminating person who is attached to devotion
to Bala. He becomes one with the Bliss of the Absolute, Jyotsna, in the state of Sadashiva.

Shri Bala Stotra

Shri Bhairava said - Parvati, now I speak of the Hymn of Devi Bala. Having heard the secret Panchanga,
one should always conceal it.
(Dakshinamurti is the Rishi of this stotra-mantra of Shri Bala Tripurasundari; Pankti is the Metre; Shri Bala
Tripurasundari is the Devata; Aim is the Bija; Sauh is the Shakti; Klim is the Kilaka; its application when
reciting it is pleasing Shri Bala.

Hail to Dakshinamurti on the head

Hail to the Metre Pankti on the mouth
Hail to the Devata Shri Bala in the heart
Hail to the Bija Aim on the navel
Hail to the Shakti Sauh on the genitals
Hail to the Linchpin Klim on the feet
Hail to the Application when Reciting on all limbs

Aim to the heart obeisance

Klim to the head
Sauh to the peak
Aim to the armour
Klim to the eyes
Sauh to the missile

Aim to the thumbs hail

Klim to the index fingers
Sauh to the middle fingers
Aim to the ring fingers
Klim to the little fingers
Sauh to the front & back of the hands

(Meditation:)
Like the coloured red rays of the Sun shining brightly through red dust, the colour of the Japa rose,
holding book, dispelling fear, and in Her other hands giving boons and holding a fully blossomed white
water lotus. Thus one should establish in one's heart the eternally beautiful form Bala.
One should recite Aim, O Tripura Bhavani. One becomes greater than God or Guru, and has dominion
and so forth of the partner of the Lord of the Mountains.
Within the course of one day, one should recite the King of Your Mantras known as the triple syllable
Kamaraja, that of Kameshvari. The person initiated in Kula should worship the earthly and most beautiful
and alluring courtesan.
One should recite Sauh, O Tripura, Mother of the three Worlds! You Who Manifest, Play, and bring all to
Completion, the core of the Absolute (Brahmapada), Self-Existent! One should worship in the rectangle,
the circles, the eight petalled lotus, within the city of the lotus of six petals, worshipping Bala in the Bindu
Pitha, in order to become greater than Shiva.
Whosoever should recite this hymn of Tripura, which consists of mantra, at night or at dawn, becomes
garlanded (praised) on earth, and in three days becomes equal to Shukra, Saura and Lakshmi.
Thus this stotra of Devi Bala, consisting of ultimate Mantra, is revealed. One should not give it to the
undevoted, and should conceal it as if it were Your own yoni.

Bala Tripurasundari is the child form (about 7 to 9 years old) of Lalita Tripurasundari. According to Her
dhyana, Bala (Baa-laa) is the color of the rising sun

Sri Balas worship is a stepping stone to Sri Vidhya Upasana.

When you chant the moola manthram( the moolamanthram should get from a Guru)
Sri Bala is around you.

Sri Balas dyna slogam

Aruna krana jalaai ranchida saavakassa

Vithruda japspatika pusthaka peedihasta
Idara kara varatya buhla kahlaara samstha
Nivasadu hrutibala nithya kalyana seela
Here Sri Bala is depicted as one, having in her mind, rosary bead garland, book of learning and
showing mudra(holy finger marks) signifying that She is the seat of learning. The last line Nitya
kalyana seela declares that she is invincible and eternal. Thats her swarupa. One can visualize
her in the form of child only in Nemili.

AY 1 ------- Kanaka Durga ammavaru decorated as BALATRIPURA SUNDARI.

|| SHARE IT ON YOUR WALL|| TAG ALL YOUR Vijayawada FRIENDS||
Bala means small child. On this day small kids between 2 -10 years will be given new cloths and
also some gifts. Payasam is offered today as prasadam.
Balatripura is the first goddess in the Tripura traya and she is the main goddess of all in the
sriyantra. Without having got the mantra of bala one is not eligible to perform the sri yantra
pooja.
In the first amnaya of srichakra bala resides, so without worshiping bala one cannot perform
pooja to sridevi. Kanaka durga is decorated as Bala as SRI ADI SHANKARA, has established
srichakra here and so to beget the anugraha of bala she is decorated as bala and one has to
definitely see her beauty in this alankaram. Worshiping her is the vital part in the shakti pooja.
Even listening to her name is considered to be beneficial to the sadhaka.

BAALAA TRIPURA SUNDARI HOMAM

Premordial Energy (Sakti) is worshipped in the yantra form (Sri Yantra). In Bala Tripura Sundari
Homam she is worshipped as nine years' old girl. Tripura Sundari means the Beauty of three
worlds. The State of Tripura in India is named after her. For the Homam the Mantra "Aum kleem
sauh baalaayai namah", the eight syllables mantra is chanted while offering oblation to Agni.
Panchadasaaksaree (15 syllables) Mantra of Sri Lalita "ka ae ee la hreem ha sa ka ha la hreem
sa ka la hreem" is also used in these homas.
