Notes from our sources
What did Sati offer in the month of Vaishakh?
Then the month of Vaishakh, in which we observe the jayanti of Bhagavati Baglamukhi — the day that swaroop of Jagdamba manifested. On the Tritiya tithi, the Vaishakh Shukla Tritiya, she again performs the pujan of Shiva with tilahar, with jau and with chawal.
Matangi and Parashuram fall on the 30th of April, and Bhagavati Pitambara on the 5th of May.
On the 30th of April fall Mahavidya Bhagavati Matangi and Bhagavan Parashuram. After that, on the 5th of May, falls Bhagavati Pitambara — Brahmastra Vidya Baglamukhi.
Why do different traditions keep Baglamukhi Jayanti on different tithis?
Because by kalpa-bheda three tithis are available in Vaishakh — Chaturthi, Chaturdashi and Ashtami. Datia Shaktipeeth keeps Chaturthi chiefly because Swamiji Maharaj established Bhagavati there on that day; the speaker says sadhaks of that region and parampara should follow that, but the Ashtami is the most prevalent.
What is the nature of Bhagavati Pitambara?
The speaker says Bhagavati Pitambara is in herself the destroyer of enemies, her very form being for the destruction of enemies. She is Parabrahma Parameshwari, but people know her especially in the laukik world, and her mantras are used most of all for the destruction of enemies. Even if you have taken her shelter for a merely laukik desire, he says, she will certainly draw you away from materiality towards the Parabrahma.
Dehleez raksha vidhan: Saptashloki siddhi, Kaal Bhairav ekakshari japa, samput path over a copper lota, and the water poured on the threshold
The vidhan the speaker gave has three parts. First, siddh the Saptashloki with 7000 Japa; the sadhak did this over six months, from Sharadiya Navratri to a little before Chaitra Navratri, though it was complete in three. Second, at chaitra-navratri take the Ekakshari bija of Bhagavan Kaal Bhairava, the single bija only, and do 1.25 lakh japa, extended to 4 lakh so that the bija became prachand; the sadhak already wore the Yajnopavita from his wedding and did proper sandhya with the Gayatri updesh of a good acharya. Third, from baglamukhi-jayanti, do the Samput path of the Saptashloki with that ekakshari bija, by the samput method on the channel, holding a copper lota of water with Gud, a few red or rose petals and a little rose ittar, praying that the house be fully bound, the dehri sealed, Bhairav ji's guard set on it, and any outside shakti that crosses it to do harm be destroyed and punished by him. A traditional Sabar Mantra with tantric pranav and bija, which he shared privately and does not give here, then sets the charged water in motion; it is poured on both sides of the dehleez, alongside the regular dehri pujan and the atta-deepak.
