Bagalamukhi Mata Katha – Chapter 2: The Power of Speech Stoppage

The Power of Speech Stoppage

With the manifestation of Goddess Pitambara, the chaos pervading the universe somewhat subsided. A ray of hope dawned on the dejected faces of the gods, as if the sun had risen after a dark night. Now, Goddess Baglamukhi was ready to display her power and defeat the demon, ensuring the restoration of truth and righteousness.

Preparation for the Time of Annihilation

The divine radiance of Bhagavati Baglamukhi intensified, and a fierce flame erupted from her third eye. That flame, eager to consume the demon, rushed towards him. The demon, still intoxicated by his own power, was terrified upon seeing the flame. He had not anticipated that a female power could be so formidable. Fear spread in his mind, and his speech began to falter.

The demon said to himself, "What is happening? Why is my tongue faltering? Why do I feel powerless?" He tried to raise his weapons, but his hands became numb. He stood helpless before the Goddess, as if shackles had been placed on his feet.

The Stoppage of the Demon's Tongue

Baglamukhi Mata seized the demon's tongue with her divine hands. Her grip was so strong that the demon could not even scream. The Goddess pulled the demon's tongue and held it in her hands, which was the most powerful weapon of that colossal Asura, his power of speech. The demon's body began to tremble. He tried to writhe, but he was no match for the Goddess's power. All his arrogance crumbled in an instant.

At that very moment, the demon was stunned. All his strength, his speech, his anger, everything was frozen. This was the power of speech stoppage of Baglamukhi Mata, which not only silenced the demon's speech but also stabilized his consciousness. It was a wondrous and unique power, which made the protection of dharma and the end of injustice possible. The devotees were reminded that the Mother can go to any extent to protect her devotees, and her power is capable of overcoming any crisis. The gods began to chant victory slogans, their faces filled with satisfaction and gratitude.

Blessing of Speech Siddhi to Devotees

After defeating the demon, Baglamukhi Mata looked towards her devotees. There was compassion and blessing in her eyes. She bestowed upon her devotees the boon of speech Siddhi, enabling them to propagate truth with their words and raise their voices against injustice. This boon was for all those devotees who seek refuge in the Mother and remain immersed in her devotion. The story of this wondrous power will continue, as we learn how the Mother protects her devotees and inspires them to walk the path of truth.
