Maa Bagalamukhi, one of the ten powerful Dash Mahavidyas in Hindu Tantra, is known as the “Stambhana Shakti” — the power that stuns, silences, and immobilizes evil. Her worship isn’t just for material gain — it’s a deeply spiritual act of gaining control over your mind, speech, and enemies (both inner and outer).
In this guide, you’ll discover the full scope of Maa Bagalamukhi Puja — what it is, how it’s done, why it’s so powerful, and how you can invoke her blessings.
Who is Maa Bagalamukhi?
Maa Bagalamukhi is the eighth Mahavidya among the ten aspects of the Divine Mother. Her name breaks down as:
- “Bagala” – derived from “Vagla,” meaning bridle or to control
- “Mukhi” – meaning face or mouth
Together, her name implies the power to control or paralyze speech, action, and evil intent, especially of enemies.
She is depicted in yellow attire, seated on a throne, pulling the tongue of a demon, symbolizing her power to silence lies, deceit, and negativity.
She grants:
- Victory in court cases
- Relief from black magic or the evil eye
- Protection from enemies
- Control over anger, speech, and mental confusion
Mythological Importance
There’s a beautiful story from ancient texts:
Once, a great storm threatened to destroy the universe. The gods prayed to the Divine Mother, who appeared as Maa Bagalamukhi and stopped the chaos by calming the winds with her Stambhana (paralyzing) power.
In another tale, she defeats a powerful demon by grabbing his tongue, symbolizing the silencing of evil.
Her worship has been used for ages by kings, yogis, saints, and warriors to win battles — not just on the battlefield, but also in the mind and life.
