Bala Devi

"Sri Bala Devi"
"Bhandaputra Vadhodyukta Balaavikrama Nandita"

The Sonidha King Bhandan sends his thirty sons to fight against the Sri Lalita-Maha-Tripura -sundari devi. Sri Bala Devi, aged nine forever, emerged from all the forces of the Paradevata as her daughter. As one who always lives very close to Sri-Lalita-Maha-Tripurasundari, prepares herself for this conflict.

She wore the Armour that emerged from that of Devi and seated on a Chariot named "Karnee- Radham" fought with all the Sons of Asura King Bhanda and ultimately won over them. Mantrini and Dandini narrated her valour in warfield to the anxious Devi who was immensely surprised as well as delighted by the War Tactics of the young Bala Devi.

Bala Devi is the "Anga" Devatha of Sri Lalitamahatripurasundari. Annapoorna Devi is the "Ubhanga" Devatha and Aswarooda Devi is the "Pratyanga" Devatha of the Para-Devi.

Upasana of Sri Bala Devi liberates the Human beings from the Karmic debts of the Ten Indhriyas of the Body. She is equally associated with the Conquest of Ashta-Maha-Siddhies by Yogis and Ascetics.
