Bālā Mantra Japa बालामन्त्र जप
(This is the simple way of doing Bālā mantra Japa)

7. Bālā mantraḥ बाला मन्त्रः
There are three types of Bālā mantra-s and they are known by different names. One has to choose any one of the following. Out of the three, Bālā navākṣarī mantra is very powerful and is the best mantra for recitation. It is capable of giving material comforts. The three syllable mantra is related to herbs. Those who make sacred herbal medicines should recite this mantra. The second six syllable mantra is capable of providing liberation from transmigration.

Dear Ravi Sir,
This is with respect to the slight variation that I observed on Tripura Bhairavi mantra:
हसैं हसकरीं हसैं hasaim hasakarīm hasaim.
Published on Sunday April 15, 2012 under the heading of ‘Bala Mantra’
Again on Tuesday May 1st, 2012, published under the sub head of Curse Removal Mantra, under the Main Topic of Bala Mantra Japa
ह्सौं ह्स्क्ल्रीं ह्सौः hsaum hsklrīm hsaum
Now, I request you sir, please clarify which one is the correct one? or Are both are correct? Because every pronunciation has its own vibrations.
Thank You.
Narasa Raju
October 02, 2013 07:54 PM
Both are right. They are two different mantras of Tripura Bhairavi. This mantra is easier to pronounce - हसैं हसकरीं हसैं hasaim hasakarīm hasaim.
February 11, 2014 09:01 PM
Dear Sir,
योजएद् आदिमे वीजे, वाराह -भृगु पावकान्
मध्यादौ नभो हंसो,मध्मांते तु पावकानम्
आदाबंते च तार्तिये , क्रमाद्वै धूम-केतनम
एवं जप्त्वा शतं विद्या, शाप-हीना फल प्रदा॥
Make what ever one can of it but the mantra is
" ह्स्त्रैं ऐं ह्स्क्लृं क्लीं ह्स्स्त्रौःसौः।

Pranam what does this mean 6. Pañcapūjā पञ्चपूजा *this* (follow as per Karanyāsa) what does it mean to follow as per karnyasa?
December 02, 2016 09:37 AM
Pañcapūja is nothing but offering five upacāra-s such as sandal, flowers, dhūpam, dīpaṁ, water, sarvopacāram (all kinds of upacāra-s). This is to be followed as per Karanyāsa as per karanyāsa.

Respected Guruji, Some scriptures says that bala om - aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ mantra as bala vagdevi mantra by doing anga and kara nyasa with the bija aim as prefix like this aiṁ aṅguṣṭhābhyām namaḥ aim tarjanībhyāṁ namaḥ aim madhyamabyam namah aim anabikabyam namah aim kanishtikabyam namah similarly Hrdayādi nyāsaḥ with rishi as brahma rishi: chands nichruth chandaha

So, a guru’s initiation isn’t necessary for Bālā navākṣarī mantra? I have no access to guru or temples. And I need the grace of Devi to help me. Thank you
February 14, 2018 10:40 AM
It is always better to have a mantra initiated through a Guru. In case this is not possible, please visit the mantra section for Bala mantra and video section for Bala mantra. Thinking of Lord Dakshinamurthy, initiate yourself.
February 15, 2018 11:07 PM
So, I have three questions: 1. Does one NEED to do the curse mantra before chanting the Bala Navaksari mantra? 2. Does one NEED to chant certain Dhyana verses before chanting the Bala Navaksari mantra? 3. Can it be chanted mentally?
February 16, 2018 10:42 AM
1. Yes, curse removal mantra should be chanted 100 times on the first day. Afterwards, curse removal mantra need not be chanted.
2. Dhyana verse is part of mantra japa.
3. Whole mantra japa can be chanted mentally.
February 17, 2018 03:14 AM
The Nyāsas are also highly recommended for mantra japa. These are to activate the nerve centers, increase concentration, as well as to offer protection to ourselves from any disturbances etc. The dhyāna verse is to help fix the deity in our mind, to whom the japa is to be offered. It's important to have deep concentration to enhance the quality of the japa. Consider this as a form of meditation. Since it's normally not possible to have no thoughts, it is also recommended that one go through at least 3 rounds of nāḍi śodhāna prāṇayama, also called alternate nostril breathing. This usually calms the mind and makes us ready for the mantra japa.

Why is Bala Navaksari mantra so powerful? What benefits does it offer?
February 21, 2018 10:50 PM
Bala mantra is reversed in the middle section. First it is aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ; next it is reversed sauḥ - klīṁ - aiṁ; again Bala mantra in regular form aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ. In other words, reversed Bala mantra is done sampuṭīkaraṇa with two Bala mantras at two ends. This makes navakshari Bala mantra powerful.
Benefits depend upon your samkalpa.
