Baalambika who is also fondly called as Sarvamba, Balaamba, Vaalamba and as Sundarambika is our precious child goddess. As per Devi Bhagavatham, it was mentioned that Ma Baalamba is the divine avatar of Ma Shakti Devi, who had taken the avatar in order to destroy the evils and to do good to the noble ones. At present, though we are unable to get the divine vision of Ma Baalambika with our naked eyes, yet, we can imagine as if we are sincerely serving the great beautiful child goddess Ma Sundarambika as her humble servant by gently pressing her legs, by glorifying her with her songs, and by affectionately watching her shining face. Instead of imagining some unwanted things, we can imagine about Ma Baalambika, and we can also consider her as our best friend. Once if we keep on doing like that, then she would stood before us, and would give suitable suggestions to us, she would make us to run a successful life, and we would never get cheated by others.
Ma Baalambika glitters like the god, and she contains a sparkling face. Her childhood is considered as a very glorious stage, since she is still worshipped similar to Child Krishna by the devotees, and in the temples meant for her, Ma Baalambika is worshipped in the form of a child. In general, everyone would like to embrace the child, and especially if it is a cute one. Ma Vaalambika is compared similar to the gold and other precious ornaments. She is priceless, and her main purpose of incarnation is to inculcate bhakti in the minds of the people, and to make them to travel peacefully in the path of spirituality. We should always remember one thing that our child goddess doesn’t require anything from us but by considering her as a supreme person, we must wilfully offer the food items as divine Prasad to her on a daily basis.
We can also imagine that we are travelling along with Ma Baalambika to the Himalayan Mountains, by gently pressing her lotus hands and legs, and also by the way of washing her legs with the sacred Ganga Water, and we can also ask our queries to her from the Devi Bhagavatham. By doing that, we would be able to control our mind, since we have been filled up with full of spiritual thoughts on her. The great Shakti Devotees have expressed their wishes to the divine mother, in order to become even a small dust particle in her body, in order to enjoy the divine pleasure for ever in their life by permanently dwelling in her body. They also sung lot of devotional songs and praised Ma Baalambika for showering her great mercy on us. Most of us are daily wasting our life by spending our leisure time in silly entertainment activities, since we consider that it would give good peace of mind. By watching those people who perform dance, sing songs and sanctifies the glory of Ma BAALAMBIKA, we would be able to realise how importance is to focus our attention towards spending our time on “MA BAALAMBIKA BHAKTI MOVEMENT”.
As per Devi Bhagavatham, Ma Shakti Devi tells, “Always keep thinking about me, me, and me only, then your mind would not be filled up with garbage, and your mind would become pure and pious. Those sincere devotees, like Kalidasan and Vikramaditya have kept their entire attention on me, and hence, they have attained good position, and if you also keep strong faith and bhakti on me similar to my Bhagavathas, then I promise you, that henceforth, there would be no subsequent births for you, and you would be totally merged with me”.
Hence let us imagine ourselves that we spend, most of our time with Ma Baalambika by listening to her wonderful divine speech, and by watching her divine beauty again and again.
