Pratyangira Devi is regarded as the protector of the Universe. Like Lord Shiva, Pratyangira Devi gives us self-realization. She is not someone who is associated with Death. Worshipping her protects us from all kinds of dosham, enemies, accidents, diseases, curses, spells, wrath, black magic and obstacles
If the goddess’ mantra is used to cause harm to others for material benefit or take revenge, it affects the person performing such rites, negatively. In fact, many deities have both protective and destructive powers. The Pratyangira aspect of the Divine was shrouded in secrecy for many years. It was believed that only saints and Rishis had direct experience with this energy. It was felt that seeing Pratyangira in any form is an immense blessing.
Maha Pratyangira Devi is a powerful goddess who supposedly destroyed Sarabheswara’s arrogance. Sarabheswara is a fierce form of Lord Siva. She is also called Narasimhika, “She who is the Ferocious Half Human Half Lion of Courage”. The Atharva Veda is also called AtharvAngirasa. Angirasa Veda refers to black magic or witchcraft. Probably the name Pratyangira comes from this. The goddess is also associated with Sri Cakra. She has the power to repel witchcraft. She protects devotees and shows them the right path. Devotees do Pratyangira sadhana to ward off black magic attacks and for prosperity. It has many benefits. Pratyangira is often shown with a dark complexion and fierce aspect – she has a lion’s face with red eyes and rides a lion. She is either fully nude or attired in black garments and wears a garland of human skulls. In her four hands, she holds a trident, a hand-drum, a snake in the form of a noose and a skull. She is associated with Bhairava and is also called Narasimhi. She has another form, Atharvana-Bhadra-Kali.
