Bhadrakali Stotram

[Apolito Ghosh]

Thisstotra is a hymn in tribute to Adya Ma invoking her blessings. Adya Ma is regarded as the physical form (manifestation) of Adya Shakti. Adya Shakti is the primary supreme force of Nature and is regarded as the force essential to the existence of the other forces on Nature. She is worshiped in the form of Goddess Kali. She has a famous temple dedicated to her in Dakshineshwar, West Bengal. The Adya Stotram (hymn) is attributed to Annada Thakur. It is said that Adya Ma had visted Annada Thakur in a dream (around 1915), in the guise of his aunt Choto Ma, and had narrated the hymn Herself. The Stotra describes itself as being a part of the Brahma-Yamala Tantra (an ancient Agama Text).
