Shree Shree Sudarshini Bagalamukhi Shakti Dham | Sarania Hills, Guwahati, Assam
Introduction: The Mantra That Silences All Negativity
In the ancient science of Tantra, a mantra is far more than a prayer. It is a precise vibrational formula — a sound code that, when chanted with correct pronunciation, pure intention, and disciplined practice, creates real and measurable change in the world around you. Among all the mantras of the ten Mahavidya Goddesses, the Bagalamukhi Mantra stands in a class of its own.
It is called the Brahmastra of mantras—the divine ultimate weapon. Just as the mythological Brahmastra could neutralize any force in the cosmos, the Bagalamukhi Mantra neutralizes enemies, silences opposition, dissolves black magic, and grants victory in every arena of life.
At Shree Shree Sudarshini Bagalamukhi Shakti Dham, established in 2024 at Sarania Hills, Guwahati, by Tantric Guru Barenya Ranjan Borthakur, thousands of devotees have experienced the transformative power of this mantra through guided Sadhana, Havan, and Puja. This guide explains everything a sincere seeker needs to know.
1. The Main Forms of the Bagalamukhi Mantra
The Bagalamukhi tradition contains several mantras, each suited to different levels of practice and different needs. Here are the most important:
A. The Beej Mantra (Seed Mantra)
ह्लीं HLEEM
The single syllable Hleem is the Beej (seed) mantra of Maa Bagalamukhi. This is the most concentrated form of her divine energy. In Tantric science, Beej mantras are pure vibrational sounds that bypass the intellectual mind and work directly on the energy body and consciousness.
Hleem is classified as a Shakti Beej — a seed sound of divine feminine power. Its vibration is said to resonate directly with the hypothalamus region of the brain, triggering the Stambhana (freezing/paralysis) response that is Maa Bagalamukhi’s signature power.
B. The Moola Mantra (Root Mantra)
ओम ह्लीं बगलामुखी सर्वदुष्टानां
वाचं मुखं पदं स्तम्भय
जिह्वां कीलय बुद्धिं विनाशय
ह्लीं ओम स्वाहा
C. The Simple Namah Mantra (For Beginners)
ओम ह्लीं बगलामुखी देव्यै ह्लीं ओम नमः
Om Hleem Bagalamukhi Devyai Hleem Om Namah — This gentler form is perfect for new devotees beginning their connection with Maa Bagalamukhi. It is safe, auspicious, and deeply effective when chanted with a sincere heart.
D. The Bagalamukhi Gayatri Mantra
Om Bagalamukhi Cha Vidmahe | Stambhana Shakti Cha Dhimahi | Tanno Devi Prachodayat
The Gayatri form is used for meditation and invoking the divine light of Maa Bagalamukhi. It is especially powerful during the Brahma Muhurta (the auspicious pre-dawn hour) and is used by more advanced practitioners.
2. Word-by-Word Meaning of the Moola Mantra
The Moola Mantra is a complete and precise invocation. Every word carries specific meaning and vibrational intent. Here is the full breakdown:
| Sanskrit Word | Transliteration | Meaning & Significance |
| ओम | Om | The primordial cosmic sound — the seed of all creation; used to open and consecrate the mantra |
| ह्लीं | Hleem | The Beej (seed) mantra of Maa Bagalamukhi — carries her full vibrational power; triggers Stambhana energy |
| बगलामुखी | Bagalamukhi | Name of the Goddess — ‘She whose face holds the power to control all forces’ |
| सर्वदुष्टानां | Sarva Dushtanam | Of all evil beings, enemies, and negative forces (‘Sarva’ = all; ‘Dushta’ = wicked/malicious) |
| वाचं | Vacham | Their speech and voice — the power of words they use against you |
| मुखं | Mukham | Their mouth and face — the source of harmful expression |

| कीलय | Kilaya | Nail it down! Pin it! — to fix and stop completely |
| बुद्धिं | Buddhim | Their intellect and scheming mind — their capacity to plan harm |
| विनाशय | Vinashaya | Destroy it! Dissolve it! — eliminate their negative mental capacity |
| ह्लीं | Hleem | The Beej mantra repeated — to seal and reinforce the invocation |
| ओम स्वाहा | Om Swaha | I offer this to you, O Goddess — complete surrender and dedication of the mantra to the divine |
Complete Meaning in Plain Language
“O Divine Mother Bagalamukhi, I invoke you with your seed sound Hleem. Paralyze the speech, mouths, and movement of all evil beings and enemies who seek to harm me. Nail down their tongues. Destroy their wicked intellect. I offer this prayer to you with complete surrender—Om Swaha.”
3. Correct Pronunciation Guide
Sanskrit is a phonetically precise language. Incorrect pronunciation can weaken the mantra’s effect. Below is a complete phonetic guide for each key term in the Moola Mantra:
Phonetic Breakdown
| Word | Correct Pronunciation | Common Mistake to Avoid |
| Om | Ohm (long ‘O,’ close mouth on ‘M,’ feel vibration in skull) | Do not say ‘Awm’ flatly—extend the resonance |
| Hleem | Huh-LEEM (H is aspirated, L is soft, EEM is long & nasal) | Do not say ‘Hlim’ (short) or ‘Hreem’ (different beej) |
| Bagalamukhi | Buh-guh-laa-MU-khee (stress on ‘laa’ and ‘mu’) | Not ‘Bag-la-mukhi’—the ‘ga’ must not be swallowed |
| Sarva Dushtanam | SAR-vuh DOOSH-taa-naam (retroflex ‘sh’, nasal ending) | Not ‘dum’—the final ‘naam’ is nasal and slightly held |
| Vacham Mukham | VAA-chum MOO-khum (long ‘aa’ and ‘oo’) | Not ‘vachan mukhan’—the endings are ‘um,’ not ‘an.’ |
| Stambhaya | STUM-bha-ya (the ‘bh’ is an aspirated ‘b’) | Not ‘Stambaya’—the ‘bh’ is critical, not a plain ‘b’ |
| Jihvam Kilaya | JEE-hwum KEE-luh-yuh (soft ‘h’ in jihvam) | Not ‘Jivam’—the ‘h’ in ‘jhv’ must be breathed |
| Buddhim Vinashaya | BOOD-dhim Vi-NAA-sha-ya (retroflex ‘dh’, long ‘naa’) | Not ‘Vinasaya’—the ‘sh’ is retroflex, not dental |
| Swaha | SWAA-haa (equal stress, long vowels) | Not ‘Swahaa’ rushed—both syllables are equal length |
Understanding the Hleem Beej — The Heart of the Mantra
The Beej ‘Hleem’ deserves special attention because it is the living core of the mantra. In Tantric phonology, Hleem is composed of three subtle energies:
- Ha-kara: The ‘H’ sound (Ha-kara) represents Prana, the life force; it is the breath itself
- La-kara: The ‘L’ sound (La-kara) represents the earth element; it is stabilizing, grounding, and calming
- EEM (Shakti): The ‘EEM’ sound (Ee-kara with anusvara) carries the primal vibration of Shakti (feminine divine power); the nasal resonance ‘M’ seals and contains the energy
When all three combine in ‘Hleem,’ the result is a sound that simultaneously activates Prana, grounds the energy, and channels the pure power of Maa Bagalamukhi’s Stambhana force.

5. How to Chant the Bagalamukhi Mantra — Step-by-Step Rules
The Bagalamukhi Mantra is a Tantric mantra and should be approached with respect and discipline. Following the correct procedure greatly amplifies its power and ensures the practitioner’s wellbeing:
Before You Begin
- Step 1 — Purify: Take a bath and wear clean clothes. Yellow clothing is strongly preferred.
- Step 2 — Timing: Choose an auspicious time: Brahma Muhurta (4–6 AM) is ideal; Tuesdays and Saturdays are especially powerful days for her worship.
- Step 3 — Set the Space: Set up your altar with an image or yantra of Maa Bagalamukhi; light a ghee lamp and incense; offer yellow flowers, yellow sweets, and turmeric.
- Step 4 — Posture: Sit on a yellow cloth or mat, facing East. Keep your spine upright and your mind calm.
- Step 5 — Mala: Hold a Haridra (turmeric) mala or a Rudraksha mala for counting. Traditional practice recommends 108 repetitions per sitting.
During Chanting
- Slow & Clear: Chant slowly and deliberately. Pronounce every syllable clearly, especially the Hleem Beej.
- Visualization: Visualize Maa Bagalamukhi in her golden form — seated on her throne, pulling the demon’s tongue, raising her club.
- Right Intention: Chant with protective intention, not with anger or revenge. The mantra works for protection and justice, not harm.
- Continuity: Maintain a continuous flow without interruption. If you lose count, restart from the last remembered count.
Recommended Counts
- Beginner: Beginners: 21 repetitions daily to build familiarity and connection
- Standard: Regular Practice: 108 repetitions (one mala) daily — the traditional and most effective count
- Advanced: Advanced Sadhana: 1,008 repetitions or more — undertaken under guidance of a qualified Tantric Guru
- Anusthan: Anusthan (dedicated ritual): 1,25,000 repetitions completed over a fixed period under strict rules — the most powerful form
Important Caution
The Bagalamukhi Moola Mantra is a powerful Tantric Sadhana mantra. For beginners, the Simple Namah Mantra or Beej Mantra alone is recommended without special initiation. For the full Moola Mantra Sadhana — especially for specific protection needs or for an Anusthan — it is strongly advisable to seek guidance from a qualified Tantric Guru who can give proper Diksha (initiation) and supervision.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can beginners chant the Bagalamukhi Mantra?
A: Yes. Beginners should start with the Beej Mantra (Hleem) or the Simple Namah Mantra. These are safe and auspicious for all. The full Moola Mantra is best approached after some preparation or under guidance.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: This depends on the intensity of practice, karmic factors, and sincerity of devotion. Many devotees report experiencing a sense of inner calm and protection within the first few weeks of daily practice. Specific worldly results (legal cases, enemy situations) may take longer.
Q: Can women chant this mantra during menstruation?
A: Traditional Tantric guidelines recommend pausing intense Sadhana during this period. However, simple devotional chanting can continue at the discretion of the individual.
Q: Is it necessary to know Sanskrit to chant this mantra?
A: No. What matters most is correct pronunciation, sincere intention, and regularity of practice. Use the phonetic guide in this blog and listen to authentic recordings to develop correct pronunciation over time.
Q: Can this mantra be chanted for someone else’s benefit?
A: Yes. You can chant the mantra with the Sankalpa (intention) for a specific person’s protection or wellbeing. For formal pujas conducted on behalf of another, contact Shree Shree Sudarshini Bagalamukhi Shakti Dham.
Q: What is the difference between Hleem and Hreem?
A: Both are Shakti Beej mantras, but they belong to different Goddesses. Hreem is the Beej of Bhuvaneshwari and Mahamaya (also used in Lalita and Tripura Sundari traditions). Hleem is specifically the Beej of Maa Bagalamukhi and carries her unique Stambhana vibration. They should not be interchanged.
