purpose? Or is it a misprint or mistranslation?Jai KaliTo from this

once my guruji said that kubjika word is used for

unawakened kundalini as it is coiled up (hunchback).

since maa lies in muladhara in dormant mode till we

awaken her, may be this is the reference that was

being made.i think this is not a typo.

 

just my guess anyway :)

Namaste Kanna,

I think I first saw the name kubjika in a version of kalisahasranaama

posted on . Kubjika is name 657. (See

/message/6023). But I

have seen the same list in other places; it's in the files of group

GoddssKali (See GoddessKali).

 

On http://www.shivashakti.com/bagala.htm there is a hymn to

Bhagalamukhi, but only the English is given:

"Hail to you every day O Proclaimer, Speechless One, Beggar, Ruler of

Earth, Cosmos and Men, Cool One, Cruel' One, Reconciling One, Wicked

One, True Mother, Giving Success Quickly, Lame One, Proud One,

Crippled One, All-Exterminator, Dull One, having-the' Yantra of all

Yantras, O Shri Eternal Bagalamukhi, O Beautiful One"

 

Jai Kali
