Maha prathyangira Devi is one of the most powerful Goddesses. She is known to get rid of evil eyes and black magic and protect the worshipper from all negative energies and negative happenings. I had been to Maha Prathyangira Devi temple in Kumbakonam almost 10 years before and that was the first time, I had ever heard of her. Then, I came to know that she is also present in Devi Karu Mariamman Temple in Whitefield. Last Amavasya (new moon day[Jan 2] ), has the opportunity to take part in that homa – one of the best spiritual moments in my life. More on that later. The homa for Devi is performed by offering red chillies into the homa fire. That is what makes this pooja extremely special and watching the whole proceeding and hearing the priests chant the mantras were truly giving me goosebumps. For now, I give you Maha Prathyangira Devi Gayatri mantra.
