Śrī Bālātripurasundarī mantra is one of the most powerful mantras in Śrī Vidyā cult. As a rule, one is initiated by a guru only with this mantra when an aspirant expresses his desire to pursue Śaktī upāsana, which is also known as Śrī Vidyā upāsana. This mantra is commonly known as Bālā mantra.
There are three types of Bālā mantra-s and they are known by different names.
1. Bālā mantra consists of three bījākṣara-s – ॐ - ऐं - क्लीं – सौः (om - aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ)
2. Bālātripurasundarī mantra consists of six bījākṣara-s - ॐ - ऐं - क्लीं - सौः -- सौः - क्लीं – ऐं (om - aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ -- sauḥ - klīṁ - aiṁ)
3. Bālā navākṣarī mantra - ॐ - ऐं - क्लीं - सौः -- सौः - क्लीं - ऐं -- ऐं - क्लीं – सौः (om - aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ -- sauḥ - klīṁ - aiṁ -- aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ)
The most powerful mantra of the three is Bālā navākṣarī mantra, because the reverse order of Bālā mantra is encased by Bālā mantra itself. Encasement is known as sampuṭīkaraṇa, where the power, vibration and energy of a mantra are encased between two bījākṣara-s. When a mantra is recited in the reverse order, the power of a mantra increases several folds. When a mantra is recited with absolute concentration, it generates intent energy within the body and gets diffused through the body. In order to prevent the diffusion of the energy and to hold the energy thus generated within the body, a mantra is encased between two bījākṣara-s. These bījākṣara-s are either in the same order, like the one in Bālā navākṣarī mantra or the beginning bījākṣara/s could be in the right order and the end bījākṣara/s could be in an inverted order as in the case of ṣoḍaśī mahā mantra.
The three bījākṣara-s of Bālā mantra are known by different names. Bīja ऐं (aiṁ) is known as vāgbhavabīja. This bīja helps in perfecting knowledge. The second bīja क्लीं (klīṁ) is known as kāmabīja. Kāma generally means desire and here it is the desire to attain Her feet. The third bīja isसौः (sauḥ). This is called seed mantra, also known as parabīja, or piṇḍanātha. This mantra is also known as mantra of Goddess Parāśaktī. This bīja gives power to the aspirant the full potency (known as mantravīrya) to realize the Self.
सौः (sauḥ) consists of three letters s + au + ḥ. S stands for the Being. au is the Powers of Will, Knowledge and Action.The last letter ḥ is known as visarga because it “inwardly” projects the universe through the letter au. सौः (sauḥ) also makes the kuṇḍalinī of a true spiritual aspirant to ascend and can be explained from tantric point of view. To attain sidhhi of this mantra, one has to recite 300,000 times.
There are four dhyāna verses for Bālā mantra and any one of them can be chosen. Normally, the guru who initiates this mantra decides, as to which is the suitable one, for an aspirant. All the mantras have curses and each of these mantras have different mantras for removing such curses. These curses are made by sages, gods, goddesses, etc. Bālā mantra too is cursed by Devi, which can be removed by reciting Tripura Bhairavi mantra 100 times.
Tripura Bhairavi mantra: हसैं हसकरीं हसैं hasaiṁ hasakarīṁ hasaiṁ.

Hi Ravi,
Again thanks for sharing this information with the world. you are doing an wonderful job the spritual community. i repeatedly seeing, you are advised to recite these mantras through Guru. As you know , we lost the tradition of Guru and devotee concepts. Many of us moved outside tamil nadu for survival and managing our lives with different culture. But i am facing very challenging situation to get Guru and only option for the future generation is considering the God as only Guru. if your time permits, i request you to put an audio and we try to pronounce these mantras without any pronucation mistake. Again thanks for your kind service to spritual community.

I do sometimes. Normally this is the procedure I adopt. I generally take birth details and photograph or any link connecting to his photograph. Then I send the mantra suitably modified for the concerned person through e-mail. Then I fix a date for initiation and at the appointed time, I meditate along with him. Then seek his or her opinion through mail. Once initiated, I follow up once in a while to assess the progress. If the progress is good, next level of mantra is initiated. But, in general, I do this rarely, as the progress is to be monitored regularly.

These are the different dhyāna verses for Bālā mantra.
1.For obtaining wealth:
Contemplate Her of golden luster, seated in padmāsana and holding a pomegrate and a lotus in Her hands.
2. For obtaining knowledge:
She should be meditated on brahmarandra* as holding in Her four hands, varada mudra, a pot containing nectar, a book and abhaya mudra, exuding a stream of nectar (from abhaya mudra).
*Brahmarandra is an orifice at the top of the head, a varma point at the top of skull known as athipati. This is the orifice at sahasrāra, the only orifice in psychic chakras that connect upwards, as against other chakras which connect both forward and backward.
3. For curing illness:
She should be meditated with white garments. Description of hands is the same as in 2. She should be meditated having luster like that of moon. Her body should be contemplated as alphabets of Sanskrit.
4. For attraction:
For captivating others, She should be meditated upon as holding a noose and had in Her hands, fully bedecked in gems and jewels and in a pleasant mood.

Most of the Devi mantras are cursed. For some mantras, curse removal mantras are made available to us and for others not available because they have been kept secret. In the case of Bala mantra, the curse removal mantra needs to be recited for one day by counting 100 times. This is what is prescribed for Bala mantra. If you recite more that what is prescribed, the you will be reciting Tripura Bhairavi mantra instead of Bala mantra. There are several mantras for Tripura Bhairavi. You can safely use the following mantra
हसैं हसकरीं हसैं॥ hasaiṁ hasakarīṁ hasaiṁ ||

Mostly these curses are by gods and sages. She is hard to attain and it is difficult to get Her Grace. These curses are by those who practiced hard and yet could not attain Her Grace. In rare cases, the potency of the mantras are kept as secret and in order to remove the curses some alternnate mantras are provided. This is how curse removal mantras came into effect.

Dear Sir,
As I understand from the discussion I am confused a little:
1. we must do 100 times japa of Tripura Bhairavi mantra: हसैं हसकरीं हसैं hasaiṁ hasakarīṁ hasaiṁ. on 1st day and then start japa of Bala Mantra for remaining days
OR
2. we must do 100 times japa of Tripura Bhairavi mantra: हसैं हसकरीं हसैं hasaiṁ hasakarīṁ hasaiṁ. on every day before starting the japa of Bala Mantra for remaining days
Please clarify.
Also, I am the great grandson of Mahamahopadhyaya, Kalaprapurna, Vyakarana Siromani Sri TATA SUBBARAYA SASTRI whom I heard as a great disciple of Sri Bala Tripura Sundari. She is worshipped as our traditional devotee for our family. Some of his students even claim that Sri Subbaraya Sastri was blessed by the goddess Bala Tripura Sundari. Some places like BHU, Mysore University & Vizianagaram Dist of Andhra Pradesh have recorded his Tarka Sastra observations and even published them.
I heard that Bala Tripura Sundari can be either worshipped as a Yantra or as an idol during the japa. Unfortunately our generation members cannot find the exact procedure in which Sri Bala Tripura Sundari was worshipped in our tradition. Can you suggest anything on this.

I welcome you here. You hail from a great lineage. I have heard about your great grandfather.
1. Curse removal mantra for Bala is only for a day. It is said that it should be recited 100 times. It is be done only on the first day and from the next day onwards, curse removal mantra need not be repeated.
2. In general, in our generation, we worship Her in a form. It is difficult to contemplate yantra during meditation. .

I said that in one of my replies. Why we should take a risk on a mantra? We do not know whether the curse has been removed or not after repeating it just 100 times. I said only for that purpose.

The Divine Mother Śrī Bālā Tripura Sundarī, represents the seed of all the triads. Her very expansion is Śrī Rājarājeśvarī Lalita Tripura Sundarī, representing the expanded Kūṭas (sections) of the Most sacred Śuddha Pañcadaśī mantra. She represents everything in the entire Creation, even those that we cannot conceive with our intelligence and knowledge. She is infinite and is the unbounded super-consciousness. As far as concentration is concerned, it is best to practice the yogic breathing techniques classified under Prāṇāyāma. These breathing techniques combined with the alternate nostril breathing, must be practiced for months, to be able to gain a lot of focus and concentration, to perform mantra japa. One must also have complete faith before embarking on these types of spiritual quests. Faith and devotion, combined with the necessity and deep desire to acquire something, may help increase our concentration and seriousness towards such efforts.

What is best for me, may not be the best for you and vice-versa. Mantra suitability can be tested through various means and I personally am not an expert in determining it. I believe that for those who are destined or have a great liking to a particular deity, are best suited for reciting the mantras of that particular deity. It is best to stick to one deity, before proceeding towards others, if such an interest exists or is mandated by one's tradition. In the path of Śrī Vidyā, the upāsana of Śrī Bālā Tripura Sundarī is considered to be the starting point. In some traditions, both Śrī Bālā and Śrī Mahāgaṇapati are preferred and initiated at the very start itself. It is a fact that the upāsana of Śrī Bālā Tripura Sundarī is more than enough, to achieve every single material and spiritual desire that one can conceive and beyond. To do so, it is essential, to follow the daily rituals associated with Her sādhana, which would also encapsulate worshipping Her yantra and reciting Her stotras etc.

Is it true that chanting bala mantra by men makes them unsuccessful and more female in nature.

The very foundation of Śrīvidya is the Bālā mantra. The mantra is capable of making one as rich as Kubera and also liberating one by granting mokṣa. This reference is directly from Mantra Mahodadhi, a magnum opus of Tantra. There are some mischievous or misguided people parroting some nonsense without any factual or scriptural references. Whom you choose to follow, is totally up to you. It is not necessary that one should follow Śrīvidya to attain material and spiritual emancipation. There are many other deity mantras that can be followed to achieve the same objective. It is necessary to always have a proper guru to guide you along the path.

Is it permissible to recite the Bala mantra with the image of Lalita Tripura Sundari? I worship Lalita and do the recitation of Lalita Sahasranama daily. I came across "Om aim klim sauh tripura sundariyai namo namah" mantra with the image of Lalita on YouTube. I like very much the energy that this mantra gives. Since then, I have been joyfully reciting it for a month, thinking that it was for Lalita (the video title was Shodashi Tripura Sundari Mantra). Then when I looked up this mantra the other day, I discovered that "Om aim klim sauh" is a Bala mantra as your wonderful website states. If it's possible, I would like to continue with Lalita image than introducing totally new Bala image for this "Om aim klim sauh" mantra as I prefer for my worship to be simple, and I adore Mother particularly as Lalita. However, if this is not permissible according to the tradition, I will change. I also do not want to do something that will not give any results. Thank you, in advance, for your guidance.

Śrī Vidyā is meant to be learnt under the strict guidance of a well-versed guru. Without the proper guru pāduka etc., I seriously doubt if there would be any progress in the sadhana.

Dear Krishna Sir, I have been reciting Bala Mantra 108 times for over 60 days. Experiencing many mystical/magical things happening around me. People(men and women) stare at me when I enter a room or their space. Many of my relatives have asked me that I am looking fitter, younger etc. Seeing a lot of improvement in health, opportunities to grow, just magical. Some have seen/felt Bala's presence behind/around me. People cannot understand but everybody seem to feel the changed energy and vibration. Kindly share your thoughts on my experience and is this typical what a new sadhak experiences? what should I look for? Thanks sir.

Your experience is not common and I pray that this grows further and helps you progress in all walks of life. I am assuming that you have been duly initiated into this mantra and following your guru's advice.

I will come back here to answer questions as soon as I have time available again. The truth is that I never had much time available. It is out of pure compassion that I contribute here as I can. With what the Divine Mother allows me. She is the one who independently selects the questions and answers.

There are different traditions of Śrīvidyā and each one of them have different ways. The questions you have asked are specific to your tradition and your guru would be the best person to guide. From a general perspective, there are no guarantees of gaining mantra siddhi irrespective of the tradition that we follow. The deiies are not petty and do not seek your virtues. The sādhakas who have the utmost faith, understanding of the deity and the tantric processes and are also very sincere in their worship, are most likely eligible to gain siddhi of the deity's mantra. You may also wish to read about the Vāma mārga and Kaula mārga to gain further insight into the various traditions of tantra and this may help understand things better.

In our tradition the 'oṁ' is used as a prefix to the Śrī Vidyā mantras. The tantras specifying the uddhāra ślokas do not include the Tārā bīja oṁ as a prefix. The other curse removal, life-infusing mantras etc are from the tantras and are applicable in all cases. It is best to follow the mantra as guided by your guru and not follow a book or a website, including ours etc. What we provide is only a reference. Mantras require an initiation from a practicing guru to be effective.

Dear manblunder team, I used to do pooja in a mahakali temple in south india. The pooja of this temple is not done by Brahmins but by Kshatriyas. I've been very ardently reciting lalita sahasranama stotram since a very long time now and I have had great experiences through it. I've never felt the need to chant any additional mantras to please her since so many years since I used to feel she's satisfied by my chanting of lalita sahasranama. I'm also an upasaka whose chanted 10lakh panchakshari japa in 41 days by the mother's grace. I don't know why but I'm getting an innate feeling since a few days that I must start chanting this mantra. I tried putting this thought off since I've not had any initiation from any guru of this mantra yet. But i still find an ardent instinct telling me it's time I start chanting this mantra for further upliftment. I'm very duly sure that I can sit and chant this mantra upto 15000 times daily on those days where I take a sankalpa of chanting this mantra to get vishesha kripa of mother bala and hence she helps me achieve all my 4 lurusharthas in this life. Can you please guide me on whether I should take a sankalpa of chanting a particular amount for 21 days for her kripa and help in my upliftment without any guru for now? If yes, what amount of chanting can I do daily when I'm on sankalpa and what procedure should I follow in order to get achala kripa of Sri Bala. Kindly let me know. Regards.

I would recommend consulting a guru for mantra japa. A self-initiation is only in extreme cases where there is no availability of a qualified guru. In your case, you may seek permission from the priests who may be qualified to grant you a mantra for japa purposes. You can then proceed with the japa in the manner prescribed by the initiating guru along with all the procedures suggested by them.
