How to Chant Bhrukuti-Kutilat Tasyah (Kali Springs Forth from the Goddess's Brow)
Instructions
Begin with the Saptashati seed mantra 'Om Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vichche'. Chant these dhyana verses slowly, building a vivid mental image of Kali emerging from the Goddess's brow with each line. Recited by devotees of Kali for protection and fearlessness, and as part of the seventh chapter path of the Durga Saptashati. Maintain reverence, as this is one of the most powerful descriptions of the fierce Mother.
Spiritual Significance
It is traditionally believed that the very recitation of Kali's emergence here can drive away malign forces and break spells, for the form that scattered Chanda and Munda's armies is said to manifest its protective power around the sincere devotee who calls upon her.
Origin & History
Source: Durga Saptashati Chapter 7
Author: Sage Markandeya (Markandeya Purana)
The demon-king Shumbha sent his generals Chanda and Munda with a fourfold army to seize the Goddess. As they advanced to capture her, Ambika's face grew dark with fury, and from the knit brow of her forehead the fierce Goddess Kali burst forth, sword and noose in hand. Kali devoured the demon hosts and beheaded Chanda and Munda, for which the Goddess named her Chamunda.
