Thank you once again for enlightening us with your profound insight. This is pure grace of the Divine Mother flowing through you.

"śodhayāmi" - to purify and consecrate is the correct word. Thank you for pointing out the errors. These are fixed now.

Yes it should be. Think of it as something that helps induce more efficacy to the mantra.

As it is said, you verily become the deity whom you worship. Devi Bala's nature is just as you mentioned and she is considered the stepping stone in Shakta sadhana. Check the Bala mantra japa article where our learned friend Tivraji has talked extensively about her; the former has even provided an advanced krama for enhancing the results of Bala Devi's japa. If within youself, you find a pure and innocent soul who wants to deal with everyone whether enemy or friend purely with love, Bala Devi's sadhana is very suitable. If you feel her qualities resonate with your own, get initiated and practice her mantra sincerely without asking for anything; For those who perform sadhana without expecting anything from the Deity except their grace, the Deity shall give the biggest fruit of all- they shall be along your side during your lifetime and even beyond continue to guide you till you reach liberation. If you are approaching Bala Devi to help you go near to Mother Lalita she will help; However, she will only reveal her entire self and true potential to her devotees who dedicate their life and devotion solely to her ; these are 2 very different situations and is true in the case of any Deity. Decide well what you want and proceed. Personally, I have never considered the different forms of Shakti as different from each other; For me, Divine Mother's multitude forms are just rays of light of different colours but of the same source.

Namaste. what, if any, is the difference between śodayāmi and śodhayāmi?

This most exquisite revelation from Tivraji has captivated and enlightened my mind ever since first encountering it. It is truly wondrous at the highest level my mind can comprehend. But sir I have one question: Hasn’t Mahā Pratyangirā always been? Does she not pervade all of creation since the beginning as we know it, as well as existing outside of time and beyond this universal egg?

Many thanks for your sage advice. May I ask, would getting initiation into Bālā mantra and practicing assiduously, facilitate becoming very pure and innocent in a relatively efficient manner, if worship is performed properly per guru’s guidance?

Hi sir, is the curse remover to be repeated each japa session? Thank you.

Namaste Nesh. I am not an expert in these vidyas but I will help you according to my knowledge. For the purpose you mentioned, there is no need to invoke Pratyangira Devi in the form you mentioned; you can invoke the Divine Mother in her usual form. She is usually invoked as Kroora roopa when an enemy has used kritya prayogam on an innocent devotee to counter such acts. If a purely innocent devotee of hers invokes her in this Kroora form to counter the kritya prayogam, the Divine Mother will kill without mercy(Mahaa Krooraa). Now, for your purpose, you can call out to her in her usual form itself..no need to go for her ugra roopa...each of her forms has a purpose. In her ashtottara she is praised as "ksham hrAm bIja prerita" which means that Pratyangira shakti in her mUla form represents highest enlightenment itself. One last thing, anybody invoking Pratyangira Devi in her Kroopa Svaroopa should keep in mind that she is "bhakta shatru bhakshini" that is she won't differentiate between an enemy or devotee when it comes to justice. So, a person invoking Kroora Pratyangira must be an absolutely innocent and pure hearted person. I hope I was of some help to you. Fear only exists as long as there is ignorance; when doubts are cleared the fear shall vanish.

Namaste. This may not be the right location for the following question. If so I apologize. I have been worshipping divine mother in her terrifying form Śrī Krura Pratyangirā, for the purpose of living a more dharmic life. My hope is that she will swiftly and sternly correct me when I perform adharmic actions or allow adharmic thoughts. I feel confident that divine mother in her Ugrakrtya Pratyangirā makeup will definitely teach me a lesson and put me on a dharmic path, but I am fearful when I worship her. This is because my egotistic mind cannot fully appreciate that whatever she does will be the very best thing for my true self, and instead I worry I might get way more than I bargained for in terms of harsh consequences. Am I making a mistake in worshipping this form of divine mother if I am doing it with feelings of fear and trepidation?
