As per Shakta worldview Maya is the creative power of the Supreme. It is by acts of exclusive concentration that the Supreme is able to create a world of apparent divergence on the substratum of the Brahman.

Etymologically, Bagala means “rope” or “rein” & Mukhi means “face” or “image”. Thus, Bagalamukhi is the Goddess whose face has the formidable power (through her subtle radiation) to control or to rule any situation or form in manifestation.

#Hinduism
One of the main aspects manifested by Bagalamukhi is related to speech and that is why she resonates with the Great Cosmic Wisdom Tara, sometimes she is even considered one of her forms.
#SanatanDharma #Hinduism
#SanatanDharma #Hinduism
It is not that difficult to understand this connection if we realize that intense subtle radiation is often related to the manifestation of light; therefore, Tara manifests as Bagalamukhi when the subtle energy of sound manifests as light.

We get flooded with misinformation with deliberately twisted articles supported with fake translations of our Dharmic shastras supporting Meat eating in Hinduism, sacrifice of innocent animals at the alters of our Divine gods - the most ridiculous claim nowadays is that our Gods
consume meat especially Lord shiva. One of the tenets of Sanatan Dharma is – ‘A diet made from slaughtering another being destroys all the virtues in the person consuming it.’ Due to the adverse effects of the Tama-predominant waves in non-vegetarian diet,

Sattva, Rajas, Tamas
The functions of sattva, rajas & tamas are to reveal, to make active & to suppress respectively.Rajas is dynamic; sattva & tamas are static principles. That is, sattva & tamas can neither reveal nor suppress without being first rendered active by rajas.

These gunas work by mutual suppression. The unrevealed Prakriti (avyakta-prakriti) or Devi is the state of stable equilibrium of these three. When this state is disturbed the manifested universe appears, in every object of which one or other of the three guna is in ascendant.
Thus in Devas, as in those who approach the divya state, sattva predominates, and rajas and tamas are very much reduced. That is, their independent manifestation is reduced.

Hindu scriptures such as Vedas and Upanishads are full of profound knowledge and wisdom. It is sangam of knowledge, inspirations, motivations, intuitions, poetry, philosophy, wisdom, science and vision. Knowledge of Vedas is eternal.
That’s why it attracts even non-Hindus towards Vedas. There are several famous foreign personalities who have shown keen interest towards Vedas, Upanishads and Hindu spirituality. One such famous personality is Hollywood superstar Hugh Jackman.
During a 2014 interview, he had admitted his fascination with Vedic literature and traditions.
It feels really great to see that while our leftist-liberal secular mafia belittles the Vedic tradition and underrate the profound wisdom of Hinduism.
