A Life Rooted in the Tradition
Acharya Ashish Sharma has been connected with the worship of Maa Baglamukhi since birth. Growing up in the sacred atmosphere of Nalkheda, where devotees have sought the Goddess's blessings for generations, he learned the rituals, mantras and discipline of her worship from an early age: the yellow offerings, the haldi mala, the fire of the havan, and the patience that her tradition demands.
He went on to formal Sanskrit training, which gives him a deep understanding of the Vedic mantras, stotras and ritual procedures (karmakand) at the heart of every puja and havan. Correct pronunciation, the proper order of rituals, and the meaning behind each mantra are central to his practice.
Over more than 25 years, he has performed pujas, havans and anushthans for families from every walk of life: farmers and business owners, students and professionals, families in Madhya Pradesh and families on the other side of the world.
His Approach: Tradition, Honesty and Personal Guidance
What devotees value most about Acharya ji is his personal and honest approach. His guiding principles:
| Principle | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Listen first | No ritual is suggested until he has understood the devotee's situation |
| Proportionate guidance | Sometimes a full anushthan is appropriate; sometimes a simple home prayer is enough, and he says so |
| Faithful to tradition | Rituals follow the traditional vidhi, with correct mantras, offerings and muhurat |
| No false promises | Puja and havan are explained as acts of faith; no guaranteed outcomes |
| Clarity on dakshina | The ritual and its dakshina are explained before the devotee decides |
| No fear, no pressure | Devotees decide in their own time |
| Confidentiality | Everything shared in a consultation is kept private |
| Worship is protective | Maa Baglamukhi's worship is never used to harm anyone |

- Sankalp: Acharya ji recites the time, place, and your name, gotra and intention, dedicating the ritual to you.
- Ganesh Puja and Kalash Sthapana: Lord Ganesha is honoured first, and the kalash is established.
- Maa Baglamukhi Puja: the Goddess is invoked and worshipped with yellow offerings.
- Mantra jaap: her mantra is chanted on a haldi mala.

What Acharya ji Will Never Do
Devotees sometimes arrive after bad experiences elsewhere. So it's worth saying clearly what Acharya Ashish Sharma will not do:
- Promise a verdict, a marriage date, a job, a visa or any guaranteed outcome
- Frighten devotees with claims of curses or "urgent danger"
- Perform rituals intended to harm, control or "silence" another person
- Add hidden charges after booking
- Share a devotee's personal information with anyone
Areas in Which Devotees Seek Guidance
Devotees approach Acharya ji for traditional spiritual guidance in six main areas of life:
| Area | Guide |

| Business growth and financial stability | Business Growth and Financial Stability |
| Job and career development | Career and Job |
| Education and knowledge | Education and Exams |
| Removal of obstacles and all-round spiritual guidance | Sarva Badha Nivaran |
In every case, the ritual is suggested according to the devotee's situation, as a traditional religious practice and not as a guaranteed solution.

Why Nalkheda?
Maa Baglamukhi Temple, Nalkheda stands on the banks of the Lakhundar river. Local tradition holds that Maharaja Yudhishthira worshipped the Goddess here on Lord Krishna's advice before the Mahabharata war. Its swayambhu murti shows Maa Baglamukhi with Maa Lakshmi and Maa Saraswati. For devotees, a puja performed in this sacred place carries special meaning, and serving here is Acharya ji's life's work.

A Note for First-Time Devotees
If you're new to Maa Baglamukhi's worship, or have never spoken to a priest about a personal matter, it's natural to feel hesitant. You don't need to know Sanskrit, your gotra, or the "right" ritual before you reach out. You don't need to be very religious either. Many people contact Acharya ji simply to understand the tradition.
A good first step is to begin a small practice at home: light a diya, offer a yellow flower, and recite the Baglamukhi Chalisa on Thursdays. When you're ready, send the short consultation form. The conversation will be calm, respectful and free.
