According to the Purnimanta Hindu Panchang, Bala Jayanti is celebrated on the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi Tithi of the Margashirsha month. In the Amanta Panchang, this Tithi falls during the Krishna Paksha of the Kartika month. Bala Jayanti is dedicated to Goddess Bala, who is revered as one of the Dwadasha Siddhividya Goddesses. In Hindu scriptures, the Bala Siddhividya is described as one of the most sacred and profound teachings within the Shri Vidya Tantra tradition.
By worshipping Goddess Bala, a devotee attains knowledge, intelligence, eloquence, memory and spiritual brilliance. The Goddess is regarded as the youthful embodiment of Brahmavidya, the sacred wisdom that symbolizes the first step toward supreme realization.
Among the twelve Siddhividya Goddesses, Goddess Bala holds a prominent place as the presiding deity of wisdom, purity, simplicity and divine radiance. Her form is tender and childlike, yet her power is infinite and supreme. Within the Shri Vidya Sadhna, the worship of Goddess Bala is considered the preliminary and foundational practice before advancing to higher stages of Sadhana.
In the Shri Vidyarnava Tantra, Goddess Bala is described as the youthful form of Goddess Tripura Sundari. She embodies the union of the three divine energies, Iccha Shakti, i.e., the power of will, Jnana Shakti, i.e., the power of knowledge and Kriya Shakti, i.e., the power of action. Through Her worship, the devotee awakens inner qualities of innocence, simplicity, and pure consciousness.
A person who worships Goddess Bala with devotion and discipline on the day of Bala Jayanti attains not only worldly prosperity but also the blessings of self-realization and ultimate liberation.
