Goddess Bala is revered as a 9-year old girl and is hailed as the epitome of eternal beauty, power, wisdom, siddhi powers, courage, and compassion. She is portrayed seated on a white lotus, with four hands- one holding a book, which symbolizes wisdom, another holding a rosary bead, which symbolizes yogic and spiritual powers. The other two hands show Vara and Abhaya mudra (boon and protection bestowing poses). Scriptures and Siddhas praise that propitiating Bala can invoke her blessings to gain ultimate wisdom, wealth, power of speech, and siddhi powers (supernatural powers).
What Will I Receive?
You will receive the sacred grey ash powder from the homa and Kum-Kum (Red Vermillion Powder), which will be blessed in the rituals. Keep this on your meditation altar and wear it on your forehead during meditation or at other times to expand the Divine blessings into your life.
Dr. Pillai explains this:
The ritual is the carbonization of thoughts. Carbon is our information bearing atoms. The carbon residue (ash) given out as Prasad is to be placed on the third eye area of the participants and carries the blessings of the archetypes invoked.
Please Note: Your Prasad will be shipped from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, after the entire set of rituals are performed. For international shipping, please allow 2 – 4 weeks for delivery.
