2. Who is Apaala Devi?
There are 27 Mantra Yoginis as per Vedas. They are said to be embodiments of cosmic powers (Shaktis). But Apaala Devi is the only one who takes the form of human yet Goddess of the mantra (Mantradhisthana Devata). Grandfather of Apaala Devi, Dirgha Tamasa compiled the chapters of Vedas, worshipping Aswini Devatas. Kaaksheevatha is the father of Apaala Devi.
Alaapa Devi spent a very painful life with leprosy and remained unmarried. Unable to bear all these agonies she decided to kill herself and before this she prayed Ashwini Devatas. Pleased by her prayers, Ashwini Devatas gave back her health and blessed her with a happy marriage. There are 28 Shlokas in Yajurveda about Apaala Devi. She bestows newly wed brides with health.
