Notes from our sources

What is Bala Ganapati worshipped for?
Worshipped on the lap of Mother Parvati, it pacifies ancestral/Masani afflictions, prevents miscarriages, and removes general domestic distress.
Who comes even before Batuk Bhairav?
Shri Ganesh. Bal Ganesh alone is that deva shakti whose head was pierced by the trishul of Bhagavan Shiva. Take it into tantra and there too it is Bhagavan Shri Bal Ganesh who carries out the representation of the oots, and so by the grace of Bal Ganpati the oots are pacified first of all.
Which subjects come first within the Vainayaki Tantra?
First of all there come the twelve names of Bhagavan Ganesh that are given in the Sankatnashan Ganesh Stotram. These twelve names have a separate subject connected with tantra for each, which he says he will have to tell in a separate video, briefly. Out of those twelve names — that is, twelve svarups — the prayoga has been done taking any one svarup. But it is chiefly held that if a prayoga connected with Bal Ganpati is done there, then shaktis of this kind are pacified completely and swiftly.
Which form of Ganpati appeared at the Bhadrapada Chaturthi?
Tell me one thing, he says: the Ganesh Chaturthi that we are celebrating in the month of Bhadrapada — in it one form of Ganpati ji, Bal Ganesh, chiefly appeared. That much is the current katha, that it is Ganpati's birth festival.
How are Ganpati and Batuk Bhairav placed around Bhagavati there?
There, in the swaroop of Bhagavati that is there, the Batuk Bhairav who is there and the Ganpati who is there are both in their bala swaroop, and in bala swaroop they are established as the protection of Bhagavati's east, at different doors. So on one side of a door Ganpati, on the other side Bhairav; then on another side a second Ganpati, a second Bhairav — many gana Ganpatis and many Bhairavs are established there, or that place has been given to them.
