Pearls of Wisdom – Bala Tripurasundari

 Closing eyes to meditate is to think on me. But when I am omnipresent

everywhere and what’s more , physically around you, is there a need?

 If you place your life at my feet, I shall dedicate myself to you. If you
take one step towards Me, I would take eight steps towards You.

 Extend not to others you hand or horoscope, Your boom, in life is

Basis your belief on me.

 I am a child. All Goddesses are around me, to protect me. Generally in

houses, elders wake up first, open the door, do floral decoration,
receive milk from vendor. The same applies in my world. Before
Sunrise, Gayathri Japa is to be done, Sun God will commence his work
after Gayathri is woken up, Then Savithri when flowers come. After
floral decoration, when everyone sings, Madhavi gets up. Lastly I shall
be woken by with milk and fruit. This is the way to begin Suprabatham.
So do not think only I am present here. Every God and Goddesses is
present here along with me.

shall separate myself from you and place you in an entirely separate
world, Regardless of how many rebirths you may take
I will never again enter your thoughts even by mistake.

 During prayer, if you address your personal needs first, I will address
them last. Yet, when you place others’ wishes first and yours last
All your problems, worries and requirements, I shall take care of them
at once. Spending your time for others’ wellbeing
That alone represents true Faith.

 Once you have learned to walk head bowed, looking down

Then I will raise you to an unimaginable height. Never attempt, at
anytime, to flaunt your talent and intellect to me
When love is not accompanied by humility. You will never be able to
catch me!

 Don’t plead loudly with me for Pity, Don’t broadcast your problems in
public, bemoan your fate or express your grief, For the whole town to
know. Never claim you know everything and misconstrue, I know
everything about you, From this day forward, don’t dance to a wrong
tune.

 In spite of whatever happens, whatever you might forget. Never at any

time forget me. Whatever you might lose, even if a bolt of thunder
strikes you. Never lose sight of me. I steer this entire world. Will I not
show you a way out? Never shall I forsake or abandon.

 I know your true nature, a darker side known only to you. I was aware
of all your actions before I came to dwell within you. Although you have
committed mistakes earlier, it’s not necessary for them to recur
Having learned from your past mistakes, don’t forget to reform or
change for the better.

 Don’t question me who bestows all, even before you ask. Questioning
my actions will turn your life into just a question mark. During either
difficult times or while I’m imparting wisdom to you. Don’t burden me
with questions. However, when you accomplish your goals after
reaching me. Don’t forget to question yourself.

 Abandoning me in anger will take you just one second. Yet, never will I
ever have the heart to forsake your family. I think about you more often
than you do of Me. Not realizing this, when you come to me
complaining. I shall merely keep smiling.

 While your thoughts constantly hover around your family. My thoughts

surround and protect you at all times. You are surely aware I’m the
sole reason for your life to flourish today. So, don’t forget to express
your gratitude in some way.

 Never enquire “What have you done for me?” Never make a list of
things you might have done for me or show this to me. Pride will surely
bring about your ruin Remove arrogance, learn to be selfless
Only then can you realize your true “self”.
 If you realize I live within you. Never will you lower your self esteem
Never will you bemoan that this precious life is useless. Remember, I
sought you out even before you started searching for me. I granted all
your wishes even before you commenced praying to me.

 When you breathe the message of Love in your heart, And show
affection to all living beings,Never will you be able to lose sight of Me.
Reduce the habit of behaving irresponsibly and Start lessening the
sufferings and misery of others around you.

 Go and pray for the wellbeing of others. It is only natural to love the
deity you are devoted to Yet, when by actions you endear yourself to
God That is the true significance of Life.

 Piling impurities in both mind and body. You simply disgraced me.
Cease to think about their shortcomings or worth. Never shrug off good
relationships in hatred. Even when the whole world opposes you. I am
here to raise your standing in life. Never forget this
So, Don’t forget to extend a helping hand. To those below you.

 Never, at any time, push away family members who are good at heart
Never think that money alone is sufficient and good qualities are not
necessary. Never hate, shun or mock poverty. All these negative traits.
My heart can never tolerate from anyone at anytime.

 You show no fear, express not the slightest timidity. Whilst asking
favors from me. Why is it that when all your wants are fulfilled
All your goals are accomplished. You shy away from acknowledging
my help? When you come to me with expectation. And face
disappointment instead. When you suffer, all alone and are in deep
 distress. I shall be there with you Comforting you, supporting you
Don’t ever forget that.

 Place your sorrows and troubles at My feet, And soon, they will
disappear.

 Don’t fear either your enemies or opponents, And pounce on them with
anger. Don’t jump with rage into the arena of warfare And react with
fury and in haste, When you do this, I shall stand inert, hands folded
quietly by my side. Yet, Into the battle field I myself shall descend
When you show patience and stand quietly, Hands by your side

 If family and relations make you cry. Shed those tears quickly, but
forget this at once. If people cause you to take a tumble
Fall down immediately, but get up at once. No one can make you weep
or cause destruction to you anymore. Who can annihilate you?
Come to me, stand by my side.

 She teaches us to celebrate the God-like qualities of innocence and

love innate in all children, and to share this love universally without
harboring any evil intentions or deceit.

 She creates a play of events in the lives of her devotees that

completely destroys all negative forces and evil tendencies,
transforming everyone into aspects or reflections of herself!
Many questions and doubts are made to rise in our minds, so this little
child can get the opportunity to wipe them out and cleanse our
thoughts!

 She is generous in taking care of her devotees’ requests and fulfills all
their desires instantly, overlooking their many flaws. She hastens to
stamp out injustice and stands steadfastly by the side of her faithful
devotees.
 Sri Bala resides in all loving hearts. When we have successfully
vanquished all our bad qualities, the heart’s empty space is then filled
completely with love. In the midst of this loving heart, Bala sits in
splendor. However, we have to work hard to “capture” her! If you want
Bala to stay with you permanently, think of her, love her and
experience her always as a little child. Remember, she may be the
youngest among all Gods in terms of size and age. However, none can
equal her strength and prowess in defeating all our enemies and
fulfilling all our wants!

 Sri Bala “is” the very soul of Music and it is through this medium she
has chosen to reveal herself to seekers. She invites to her house many
musicians and delights in hearing them perform. However, nothing
gives her as much happiness as hearing her own songs sung with
complete belief and devotion.

 ? Can we, each one of us, catch a glimpse of Bala, at least in our
dreams? Does she really become a part of you and reside in your
subconscious mind, located in your heart? Can you hear her?
Experience her and talk to her? Yes, definitely Sri Bala will make you
totally aware of her presence both within your heart as well as in
orchestrating events in your life. . If you are truly devoted to her and
sing her songs with complete belief and total surrender, this little child
removes all your problems with one, quick stroke.

 Is it possible for people who were once cruel and wicked, to change
completely and perform philanthropic acts and service to mankind?
Bala’s songs bring about a complete and total modification in both
thought and action. By either listening to them or chanting these songs,
the mind begins to subconsciously grasp all the good values and the
wisdom espoused and constant repetition leads to an alteration of
behavior and action.
 Chanting this every day benefits the sincere devotee and keeps at bay
all destructive and evil forces. Bala alone reigns supreme in her house
and once you enter her enchanted world, she takes care of you
throughout your life!

 Sri Bala showers her devotees with blessings and makes all their
wishes come true. However, she does teach us to be more motivated
towards helping others and educates us to understand the non-
permanence of worldly pleasures. Being with Bala constantly, brings
out the “real” Self or God-Like nature, embedded deeply in everyone.
In other words your true nature or real self is none other than Bala who
is permanently mixed up with you, in your thoughts and actions.

 By heeding her advice, it is possible to effect a total transformation in

the way we perceive and interact with the world we live in.Once this
non-reactive state of mind is achieved, one is motivated to work hard
for the welfare of others, instead.Total surrender at Bala’s feet is the
only way of overcoming all dangers and threatening situations in life.

 Reciting “Bala Kavacham” daily is the supreme medicine to cure all

diseases. By thinking of SRI BALA incessantly, you can remain
oblivious to any pain or suffering caused by the outside world. By
opening our hearts to Bala completely, we are instantly protected at all
times and Bala will perform many a divine miracle in our lives.

 However, the Sri Yantra obtained from Bala Peetam is extremely

powerful and in conjunction with singing her songs, yields results as
desired by the devotee.

 When will I fully comprehend this mischievous child who loves to play
tricks on her devotees by seeming to not reveal herself to them and
then surprises them by enacting many miracles in their lives?
 Sri Bala is always happy whenever her songs are sung with devotion.
The lovely poems that have been written by her devoted sons, Sri
Ezhilmani and Baba.G, are the only bridge that can connect a person
with her. In order to understand Bala a bit more fully, a careful
interpretation of her songs “Sri Bala Andhadhi” and “Virutham” alone is
sufficient,

 Sri Bala loves her devotees and there is certainly no place for false
speech, anger or hypocrisy once you have entered her house and
stand in front of her. Sri Bala shows a lot of tolerance and forgives her
devotees even though they repeatedly commit mistakes

 Bala, many melodies exist in your name, They are like Vedas to us,
when your music is sounded. There’s no need to perform rituals and
sacrifices, Incurable distress and sorrow will be removed, your
Feet shall protect us!

 When will it dawn on me that Bala is the sole source of support and
strength in my life and she will care for me and for all my descendants?
When will I understand that Bala does not require elaborate rituals in
her worship, only humility and love? When will I appreciate the fact that
Bala is present at both the beginning and end of my life?

 Bala is the ever present substratum in our lives, leading us from one
situation to another. Once you have stepped inside her circle, she will
guide you step by step and ultimately identify with your true self as a
non-separate entity.

 Even though I am located, physically, thousands of miles away from

Nemili, Bala’s presence is as tangible whenever I want it to be. She
reveals herself in your mind, whenever you truly appeal to her, through
the medium of music, by singing her songs!
 It is said that even a small photo of Sri Bala is sufficient to protect you
and confer all boons. It is certainly true that once Sri Bala has
accepted you as a devotee, there is no further need to consult various
astrologers, visit temples, ashrams or carry out rituals for fulfillment of
your desires. Bala will provide all that she thinks you need, at the
appropriate time!

 Sri Bala is indeed the most powerful among all deities in this age of
Kali. She is the residing place for all Gods. Understanding her, being
with her and loving her are the only ways of attaining true salvation.

 When will it dawn on me that the NavaGrahas ( nine planets) can

never yield their negative influence over me as long as I have full faith
in Bala? When will I understand that all days are suitable when
worshipping Bala and there are no superstitious beliefs like a
“good/bad day” or an “auspicious/ inauspicious time” while singing her
praises?

 All worries and sorrows are banished forever in the enchanted, child-
like world of Sri Bala. All she wants from us is love and affection.Once
we have reached Bala, events take place in our life only in the manner
she wants and even unpleasant situations reveal a lesson to the
devotees. If Bala really wants to confer boons on her devotees, her
blessings gush forth in a torrent, at the appropriate time.

 You have conquered this entire world with love, Oh Bala! It is with love
you have taught me so many things and taken me inside your heart.
Yet, when I sometimes wonder how all of this came to pass, all I get
from you in response is just a smile! It is impossible to ask you any
questions since the only answer is a smile. There can be no arguments
with you either as you always emerge as the winner!
Why have I forgotten that you neither like questions or like to be
questioned about your mischievous, and divine ways?
 Importantly, serving the needs of others through group prayers
sessions, or parayanam, is the fundamental premise of Sri Bala’s
Dikshai, or holy initiation. Singing Bala’s praises and offering grateful
thanks after wishes come true are also indispensable features in the
worship of this little, precious child.

 Yet, it is sometimes very difficult to achieve the sense of humility and

total surrender that are pre requisites for obtaining Bala’s grace. Bala
reveals her presence even to the most irreverent devotee.

 it is very important to remain simple, humble, practice good virtues and

be of service and help to others. Only when selfishness is removed
from our hearts and replaced with selfless devotion and service, can
Bala’s presence be discerned.

 Chanting her holy name affords instant protection from all dangers
destiny has in store for us. Her glance alone is sufficient to ward off all
evils, burn away foes and prevent many an unfortunate situation in life.
Her tinkling laughter frightens away enemies and those who scoff or
scorn her. Holding on firmly to Sri Bala’s feet and placing full trust in
her, is the only way to gain strength to fight and win over life’s
challenges.

 Bala is a small child and the best way of actually holding onto her is to
treat her as a small child and behave towards her like you might, with
the same love, tolerance and affection, towards your child. At times, it
is inevitable to lose out to Bala in all and any confrontations. Bala
doesn’t like to be questioned about her actions and she will always
insist on having the last word in all arguments. The happiness of losing
to her is ultimate bliss. Filling the heart with constant thoughts of Bala
will surely transform it and fill it with love, which naturally spills over in
interaction with the world. Helping mankind with love and affection is
closest to Bala’s heart!
 Being a small child, Bala’s actions arrive with lightning precision, only
at the moment she wants it to turn up. Bala’s songs are the only bridge
that offers a true devotee a means of crossing the river of unhappiness
and reaching her side. There is no necessity to indulge in austerities,
observe fasts or undergo penance. All unhappiness and sorrow can be
transformed miraculously, the moment Bala’s glance falls on her
devotees . The real significance of this verse is to highlight the
importance of singing Bala’s songs and remaining true to her!

 All actions are carried out in Bala Peetam only at her request. She
moves all the pieces on a giant chess board, causing people to visit
her, allowing them to give her offerings or indeed act as instruments to
carry out all her well-laid plans. So, there’s no surprise that even a
small piece of jewellery cannot easily be given to Bala without her
wish. Constant worship of Bala is the only way to re energise our tired
minds and bodies. Like a fresh burst of power, Bala completely
refreshes us every moment we think of her!

 She promises and assures the devotee that before he faces death, he
shall surely obtain the grace of this most compassionate Goddess.
All arrogance and pride will be replaced by humility and greed by
generosity.

 Donating wealth for poor-feeding and other socially uplifting causes will
definitely reduce the impact of past and current sins in one’s life. This
verse also states emphatically that when Bala has decided to pour her
blessings on a devotee, there is no further delay. Just as the dark and
heavy, thunderclouds burst in an instant to shed rain, the cooling
nectar of Bala’s grace will reach her true devotees regardless of the
nature of the day or time period.

 So, just as a little child craves constant attention, she asks for and
demands our constant devotion. In the same manner that a little child
 seeks instant gratification, Bala makes sure all her wishes and whims
are carried out quickly. She is also possessive and guards her
devotees with love and great care.

 Bala loves to play tricks on her devotees. Even the most faithful have
been faced with many an obstacle in their efforts to get close to her.
She is the giver of all wealth, riches and prosperity. Yet, approaching
her with humility and love is all that is required. There is no place for
ego and pride in front of Bala!

 Bala sorely tests her devotees. However, once you have reached her
feet, there are no more worries or cares. Although all wishes are
granted, Bala teaches her devotees the importance of detachment to
worldly and materialistic pleasures too, and guides them slowly away
from human bondage and all attachments.

 First, it is necessary to obtain initiation or Deekshai from BabA.G. Next,

devotees are urged to pray for the welfare of those around them and
write regular prayer letters to the Peetam. Adherence to these rules
laid down by Bala is imperative in order to obtain good results.

 She is not an object or deity to be worshipped outside our bodies, but

instead as the very existence principle within ourselves!


 Once Bala has accepted a person into her family, she tests them
relentlessly before accepting them into her circle. Even at this time,
she shows her love in the most perplexing way by pretending to act in
a possessive and stubborn manner. Some devotees might lose sight of
her at this point in time. However, those who persevere and stay
faithful to Bala will surely attain salvation at her feet. Bala becomes the
life-breath of her true devotees and cares for them tenderly, like a
mother during their entire life. She is adept at making difficult situations
vanish in a twinkling of the eye, yet, make it seem so easy to
accomplish.
 Without any expectation fame or money, each cassette of mine is
brought out in sheer simplicity and devotion. That is why in every song
I am omnipresent. In every cassette I am alive. Hence my cassettes
are incomparable and invaluable and no other cassettes would equal
mine in this respect.

 I shall be both your Child and Mother. You come to me first, then, I
shall come to you next. What you have thought of asking me, I shall
grant you, before you ask.

 Thinking me as a deity, do not be away from me. Observing

ceremonial purity or following dictates of old custom. Do not stay away
from me. If you go away, I shall not come up to sit in your lap. If you
stop instructing others, I shall instruct you – give you Upadesam.

 I rule this place Nemili. Here things go as per my wish. I started Divine
talk – Arul Vakku through some people, But they all went behind the
speech and forgot the Speaker. So I stopped it.

 Pure devotion is beyond a set of rules. Ceremony and purity are

essential for poojas, but their importance should not be above me.
Custom and Ritual are required, but their significance should not
overtake me.

 Pooja performers will get only 75%. Mantra chanters only 50%. Those
who cook food for visitors get 50%. 100% is for those who are serving
food to the visitors in the dining Hall above. They are my children. They
do service for me without any expectation. Also who does selfless
service to me are my children.
 Does not my green color skirt on the cover page look strikingly
attractive??. You seem to be complementing yourself? All children do
that. They admire their own beauty stand before mirror, talk to
themselves etc. Ornamental dressing looks appealing on children and
Goddesses, particularly a child deity like me, it fits well.

 I like everything, The question of my likes and dislikes, I do not like.

Questions and those who ask questions, I donot like. Questions are to
be asked if necessary. When nothing is to be known, they are
meaningless. Asking questions for the sake of asking, is one kind,
asking arrogant questions quite another.

 Neither mantra chanting confers priesthood on one, nor long drawn

pooja converts a house into a temple. Arrogance is one’s first step
towards downfall.

 People are admitted to my Peetam, in appreciation of their devotion.

So there is no need to do the homework again. When you visit me
here, listen to my songs or sing if you can. Have my darshan to your
heart’s content. No need to do Dyanam with closed eyes, when you
really cannot see me with open eyes.

 I represent all Deities in the Peetam and am physicaly present here as

“ Satjua Swarupini” in a invisible form.

 In the Peetam, concentrate your mind only on Me. My single glance

will take you places.

 I do not consider past deeds of those – who come to me. I consider

their present state, if they believe in or surrender to me. I given them
the things they ask, in excess of their expectations. If one pleads to me
on business loss or family suffering, I lift and protect him or her,
 despite their past deeds. But once their mission is achieved, they
forget me, do not visit my Peetam, on grounds of lack of time. My
mother Raj Rajeshwari always says that those who do this to me would
never be forgiven.

 Bala is not only a music lover, She is music Herself. Hence all my
songs are alive.

 My devotees think about me all the time, even in sleep, and consider
me as the be all and end all in their life. Some who totally surrender to
me and place the given word “CLOSE” before RELATIVE and become
my close relative.

 In the first place people should learn not to be critical of my grants. If

your wishes are granted, it is for you good, if not granted, it is also for
your good. Because if that wish were to be granted, then it would end
in tragedy. So saving you from tragedy is also good for you. This
should also be borne in mind.

 My Grace will be extended only to those who fully believe in me, not to
the half- minded persons an certainly not to the ones who casts dounts
on me or on my powers.

 Ingratitude is the worst sin one can commit. Those who exhibit it to me
will only lead a hell like life on this earth and none can save them from
their own downfall.

 Do’s and Don’t’s of Bala worship: You life depends on accepting,

whatever I offer you. If you consider whatever comes from me as
Special, you will be often invited to visit me. Whoever willingly buys, at
the Peetam, things related to me, be it my Sri Chakram, Dollar, Photo
or Casette and views them as my Prasadam, it will beckon them as
light in their progress in life.
 Do not consider your visit to Peetam or the purchases you make there,
as your expenses. Only outgo from the hand is expense, as incoming
things are income. I enter your house through the portals of these
items. This entry is one of the highest order in the world, as with this
you built a rapport with me. If only you deem the purchase as income,
you will earn more revenue in life.

 There are three kinds of people who visit me. FIRST, those who do not
allot any time for me. I avoid them. SECOND, those who allocate
certain time for me. I allow them to visit me often, THIRD, those who
do their duties thinking only of me, surrendering everything to me, it is
the third kind that are dear to me, and a I am dear to them. I sit on their
lap. So if my glance is comfort, sitting on lap on my own will, should be
bliss.

 Under my presence, one should not speak, pray or sing or weep

LOUD. I can hear your plea well, in your silence. Do not look often at
your watch for time and early departure. Pray for your time, to be good
time, with me.

 Instead of asking in doubt, will my son study well, will my daughter lead
good life, will family suffering end, Say it firmly with sure faith in me
that my son will study well, my daughter will lead a good life, family
suffering will end, I shall then, stand beside you and shoulder your
burden.

 Avoid hastiness at the Peetam. Do not rave and say that we both
started coming to Peetam at same time and his daugher’s alliance is
finalized, but not mine. Have patience. Things will work out for you too
when your turn comes. If you wait, weighty things will happen.

 People follow routes of their choice. Majority do intense pooja and

believe in Japa. Some perform Yoga to obtain benefits of Yoga
 Sastra. Others say Dyanam is ideal. A few adopt tantric system to get
mystic powers through mantra. Would you believe me, if I say, my
Songs in chaste, simple Tamil are dearer to me.

 Those who claim affinity to me, what solutions have they prescribed to
human problems? What did they do to wipe out others’ tears.

 This is the Goddess I have been searching for. My search now is over.
This is the wealth I have attained. I want nothing else. Bala says this is
the bondage of the previous birth. What was left behind, continues now
for one. One ran to search and locate me. In this one attains the bliss
of previous birth’s bondage.

 Those who have single minded devotion and sacrificing attitude

without expectation are always dear to me. Selfless attitude, sacrificing
tendency, ignoring close folks for my sake, equanimity for the poor and
upper strata, true concern for Peetam, not being egoistic on his
achievements, his open hearted approach, his humility are the sterling
qualities I look in a person.
