The notes
01

The visual shows the Mahabhairav form from whose mouth flame issues, as his dhyana mantra describes

A form of Mahabhairav from whose mouth flame issues

· 01:32–01:47

The speaker says the video being watched relates to a form of Mahabhairav from whose mouth the flame of fire issues, and that this subject comes in that form's dhyana mantra.

Before opening the day's subject the speaker points to the visual accompanying the session. It relates, he says, to one particular swaroop of Mahabhairav, from whose mouth the jwala of Agni issues — and this description is what comes in that form's dhyana mantra.

02

The prayoga is worked in groups and strikes from behind — the lowest grade of kshudra tantra

Group-worked prayoga, and the lowest grade of kshudra tantra

· 05:27–06:31

He says that when these people perform prayoga in the tantra kshetra, their tantric prayoga is of the same character as they are — worked in groups, moving in groups, striking from behind — and that in kshudra tantra it is the worst and most worthless kind.

03

The power is obtained by befriending a Sanatani guru, serving him and taking diksha from him

Diksha taken from a Sanatani guru, and two mahashaktis

· 06:32–07:05

He says they befriend a pure Sanatani guru who has shakti and samarthya, serve him, take Diksha from him and are made to perform sadhanas — and that the sadhaks of that level have always performed the sadhana of two mahashaktis: first Bhagavati Tara and second Bhagavati Shamshan Kali.

04

Take the case of a neighbourhood sadhak initiated in Shri Kula or Kali Kula, in Kadi or Hadi

A neighbourhood sadhak initiated in Shri Kula or Kali Kula, in Kadi or Hadi

· 07:06–07:27

Suppose, he says, there is a sadhak in your own area or neighbourhood who is initiated in the Shri Vidya kula or the Kali kula, in Kadi or Hadi — take him as initiated in Shri Kula, in Kadi.

05

Such a sadhak enters the vidhi of brihad nyasa in his daily sandhya

Brihad nyasa in the nitya sandhya of the kula parampara

· 07:28–07:50

He performs his nitya sandhya according to the parampara of his kula, and in doing so he enters the vidhi of brihad Nyasa.

Such a sadhak, the speaker says, will be performing his nitya sandhya every day, according to whatever the parampara of his kula prescribes. And when he performs sandhya according to the kula parampara, he will go into the vidhi of brihad nyasa.

06

Why does a sadhak who performs brihad nyasa not touch a deva vigraha?

The body itself becomes the form of the deity

· 07:51–08:15 · Also a question

Because for the one who performs that paddhati there is an adesh that he does not touch any deva vigraha. There is a proper segment of rules for it — in that kshetra, done in that way, he will not offer pranam to a vigraha, because in adopting brihad nyasa his body becomes the very form of the deity, and a deity cannot bow to his own vigraha.

07

Hanuman would be ashamed if Shri Ram offered him pranam, even in leela

Hanuman would be shamed if Shri Ram bowed to him

· 08:16–08:36

Suppose Hanuman stands in the role of a servant of Bhagavan Shri Ram. Hanuman would never wish that Shri Ram, even in leela, should offer him pranam — he would be ashamed, a little shame would come to him that the Prabhu had bowed to him.

08

Vigraha pratishtha already contains the paddhati of nyasa, so the deity is directly present

Vigraha pratishtha has already had nyasa done in it

· 08:37–09:02

Because the vigraha is already nyasa-ed. Understood technically, the whole procedure of vigraha pratishtha already contains the paddhati of nyasa; the deity is already present in it in a direct manner, and it has already become a deva vigraha. There are rules here, and for this reason it is forbidden — such sadhaks then do not offer pranam or go for darshan of a vigraha.

09

Karuna is the opening they exploit, as Prithviraj Chauhan's repeated mercy was exploited

Karuna as the opening, and the example of Prithviraj Chauhan

· 11:18–12:17

He says karuna can only be in the heart of Sanatanis, and that these people take advantage of exactly that karuna. He cites the account of Prithviraj Chauhan, who released his enemy again and again — eighteen or nineteen times, he says — and says such catastrophes happen precisely in the pursuit of karuna and daya.

10

The body is made devi-swaroop and the shaktis brought under control, while the Devi herself is never worshipped

The body made devi-swaroop, and the Devi never worshipped

· 12:18–12:37

He says that after being given knowledge of tantric siddhis out of compassion, these same people obtain those siddhis, make their own body into the devi swaroop and bring those shaktis under their own control — and once that samarthya is theirs, they will never have the Devi worshipped.

11

The asuras took boons from Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu and Bhagavati, then seized the yajna share

Boons taken from Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu and Bhagavati, and the yajna share seized

· 12:38–13:04

He asks where the asuras and rakshasas got their samarthya: they took boons from Brahma, from Shiva, from Vishnu, from Bhagavati — and then in their raksha samskriti and their own kula did they have anyone else worshipped, or only themselves? He points to the yajna anushthans of the rishis, whose share they began to take themselves, removing the devas and seizing the share of the ten Digpalas.

12

The siddhi is obtained, the vachan given, and the power then turned to running one's own religion

Siddhi obtained, then the power turned to running one's own religion

· 13:05–13:28

Obtain the siddhis, he says, carry the body's capacity and samarthya to that limit, establish your dominance; the Devi's siddhi and kripa have been obtained, the vachan given — and then those persons become the ulema and maulvis themselves, their disciples worship them, and their own religious matters are run on that strength.

13

Hindus repeat a hybrid puja as though it were correct, on the strength of Sabar mantras

Hybrid puja repeated by Hindus as though it were correct

· 13:29–14:06

He says some Sanatani Hindus repeat this hybrid puja as though it were perfectly correct — "you know nothing, so-and-so sahib walks with Kali ji, look at this Sabar mantra, look at that one" — and that the whole subject of the Sabar Mantra has been made a mess of.

14

In a hundred-page Sabar mantra book from a large publisher, ninety-five pages carry Islamic mantras

Ninety-five pages in a hundred filled with Islamic mantras

· 14:07–14:37

He says that in the Sabar mantra books of the well-known writers and large publishers, if the book runs to a hundred pages you may take it as written that ninety-five of them are filled with Islamic mantras — Hanuman ji's, with Sulaiman and the rest running in them; Bhairav ji's too; and as for Narasimha ji and Kali ji, forget it entirely.

15

The objection is not to the shabda of a Sabar mantra but to the devata running alongside it

Not the shabda but the devata running alongside

· 14:38–15:10

He says he is not talking about the shabda but about the devata. The matter of the shabda is separate — in Sabar there may be such words — but if a devata is also running alongside, that becomes something to think about.

16

The prayoga and its prabhava are absolutely present in the largest incidents

The claim that prayoga and its effect are present in large events

· 15:11–15:26

Asked in effect what one should think about the largest incidents, he says the prayoga and prabhava of all these things is absolutely present in them — they do it, absolutely.

17

Whoever fears more does more totka, and this is a panth in which totka is done most of all

The more one fears, the more totka one does — and the discipline of secrecy

· 15:27–16:03

Remember this, he says: whoever fears more, does more totka. Frightened people do totkas the most, and have a habit of doing them at every turn. He calls this a panth in which totka is done most of all — more than you will see anywhere else — but says they observe secrecy with very great nishtha.

18

An incident from the Orkut years, around 2008 to 2010, before things reached their present pitch

An account from around 2008 to 2010, before things reached their present pitch

· 16:04–16:52

He recounts an incident he places at around 2009 or 2010 — one of the three years 2008, 2009 or 2010, he says, and not 2011 — from the days of the social media site Orkut, before Facebook, when these things had not reached their present pitch.

19

The boy had an attractiveness that did not belong to his age or that time

An unaccountable attractiveness at an age when there was none

· 16:53–17:49

The speaker says he was so attractive to look at that it stood out. At that age, he says, children who play are not especially fit, and in earlier times such fitness did not exist anyway; but this boy looked so striking that it was itself a matter of attraction.

20

He offered namaz five times a day but bathed only on the day of Jumma

Five prayers a day, but bathing only on Jumma

· 17:50–18:38

He offered namaz five times a day, but bathed on only one day — the day of Jumma. On the other days he would not bathe, but would still go all five times. Asked why he did not bathe when he went so often to God, he said that nothing of the kind applied, that it was so among them, and that there was no problem in it.

21

He took one exactly fixed fielding position, facing a single house, and neither bowled nor cared to bat

A fixed fielding position facing one particular house

· 18:39–19:22

He did very little: he would take one fixed place while fielding, would not bowl, and did not mind whether he batted — an average cricket player, but he would stand in one exactly fixed spot, from which the house of a particular family, whose elder daughter had just entered college, was visible directly opposite.

22

He would read and blow on sight, which the other boys took for a joke about tona

Reading and blowing, and what followed

· 19:23–20:00

The speaker says the boys teased him at the time, joking that somebody was doing tona or totka — but in truth he had been taught some such thing. He would begin reading on sight: he would read and blow, read and blow, for the whole five minutes. Later the girl became completely fixed on marrying him and left home.

23

After the quarrel he moved to the college gate, and the girl began meeting him

The quarrel, the college years, and the family taken up

· 20:01–21:12

The children had gone and told the household that he did such-and-such; there was a quarrel and the playing stopped. Later he did the same thing at the college gate, and gradually the girl began meeting him without anyone knowing. Afterwards, the speaker says, when the whole matter came out, that man's entire family was taken up — thoroughly.

24

The aim was to break the family's standing in society so that their mano bala would break with it

Breaking the family's standing so that the mano bala of others breaks too

· 21:13–21:50

To destroy their honour completely in society so that their mano bala would break — so that people would laugh at them, so that they would stop leaving the house, and then much could be done. And once that family was struck, the mano bala of those standing beside them would break of itself, and the dominance of the others would gradually grow.

25

The kriya he had been taught required that he not bathe

A particular kriya that required not bathing

· 21:51–22:40

When the matter was opened up, the speaker says, it emerged that he did not bathe because a special kind of kriya had been taught to him, which he used to sit and perform there — and that it does not work if one bathes. He says the kriya was so kshudra that anyone listening while eating would be unable to eat afterwards, and does not describe it.

26

The indriyas go inert and the vivek is destroyed, so that even a foul smell is not registered

The senses go inert and the vivek is destroyed

· 22:41–23:11

He says the effect is such that the indriyas of the person become inert. Otherwise how could anyone come to love a body giving off a foul smell? But the mind does not work there; the sense is not working, so the person is completely vashikrit. The vivek of thinking and understanding comes to an end, decisions cannot be taken, and the person becomes favourable to whoever performed or commissioned the prayoga.

27

The girl is only the route; the target is the whole respected family behind her

The target is the whole family, reached through her

· 23:12–23:55

No. He says the aim is not merely to remove the girl but, through her, to break the whole substantial and respected family. Through her, the programme of mixing things into the food of that household had already been completed, and its effect had already fallen on the house.

28

The girl begins speaking in the exact tone and manner of the one working on her

The exact tone and manner of speech copied

· 23:56–24:21

He says many such cases can be seen and heard of directly, in which the girl has no awareness at all of what is happening to her or of what she is about to do — and she speaks in exactly the manner the boy speaks. The tone, the manner, the way of explaining, the way of speaking: exactly the same thing, copied. This, he says, is their effect.

29

The first step is learning the mantras from your own gurus, then composing mantras of their own

Learning the mantras from your own gurus, then composing mantras of their own

· 24:22–24:55

The very first work, he says, is to learn the mantras from your own gurus, take Diksha, perfect them, obtain the kripa of the devi-devatas and obtain boons. And when samarthya of that grade is obtained — such that one can compose mantras oneself and give them potency — the next work is to increase one's shagirds in society.

30

Hindus are recruited because their household deities are strong and pure, so siddhis come quickly

Because the household deities of a Hindu are strong and pure

· 24:56–25:20

Because, he says, the devi-devatas of their houses are strong, being pure and holy — so the effect of such kriyas and such mantras upon them will be the greatest, and siddhis will come quickly. And a Hindu, he says, only wants siddhi with his tongue hanging out, without knowing what he is walking into.

31

Diksha of that kind makes you a captive for life and binds your entire parampara

A lifelong bondage, and the whole parampara bound

· 25:21–25:52

Once diksha of that kind has been received, he says, you become that person's captive for the whole of your life and your entire parampara is bound there. The first thing that will be done is that you will be told not to worship the devi-devatas of your own house — you should do this instead, you should worship Shiva ji — and you will not be allowed to.

32

The pity is not for the self-declared mahaguru but for the discrimination of those who follow him

Pity not for the teacher but for the discrimination of the followers

· 25:53–26:24

He says he does not laugh at those who, calling themselves self-perfected mahagurus on YouTube and Facebook, propagate Islamic mantras while being Hindu — that one is doing his proper work. It is at the vivek of the people commenting "guruji, guruji" and offering pranam that he feels pity, saying their minds are not working and they cannot see the size of the game being played with them.

33

Worship at a mazar or such a place is a soft target whose effect enters life immediately

The soft target, and the immediate result in one's life

· 26:25–26:40

He says these people make a very soft target: they will have you worship some baba, some mazar and such things, and its effect will come immediately into your life. He then explains why the effect comes.

34

At the birth of the seventh generation the bound ancestor is released automatically

At the birth of the seventh generation the ancestor is automatically released

· 26:41–27:17

When the seventh generation is born — take the father of your grandfather's grandfather — then as soon as you were born his mukti happens of itself; he will not remain bound. Unless you have given him a place and worshipped him, which is a separate matter, then even if no kriya karma was done for him, he will move on from that yoni and will not stay stuck there.

35

How far is purity and impurity reckoned?

Seven generations for shuddhi and ashuddhi

· 27:18–27:30 · Also a question

This is also why the subject of shuddhi and ashuddhi is reckoned only up to seven generations, he says. If seven pass, only then is one pure; if seven pass, only then is one impure — a matter listeners will have heard in the discourses of sants.

For this reason, the speaker says, the matter of AshauchA state of ritual impurity, such as following a death or birth in the family, during which certain rites and recitations are restricted. — shuddhi and ashuddhi — is also reckoned only up to seven generations. If seven pass, only then pure; if seven pass, only then impure — the whole subject, he says, listeners will know and will have heard in the pravachans of sants.

36

Cremation leaves no remains for tantra to work on, since Agni's touch alone purifies

No remains left, and gati after a time

· 27:31–28:01

In Sanatan, he says, when someone dies no remnant of his body survives: he is handed over to Bhagavan Agni Dev, and those whom Agni touches become pure by that alone. The asthis are immersed in Ganga ji or in some such divine river nearby. He may wander as a bhoot or pret on account of his karma, but no remnant of him is left, and after a time his gati will occur.

37

Tara and Bhagavati Shamshan Kali are the root of those mantras in ninety per cent of cases

Tara and Bhagavati Shamshan Kali, in a maximum of ninety per cent of cases

· 28:02–28:28

He says that there, generation upon generation, the dead of ten and twenty and no one knows when remain living — kept so by the same people through mantra bala; and the root of that mantra will be Tara and Bhagavati Shamshan Kali in a maximum of ninety per cent of cases. They can never do it with Hanuman ji, he says; they will do it only with Ma, and it is these tantratmak forms of Ma that they use with authority in mleccha tantra.

38

One per cent of them succeeds, and that one makes the whole hundred

One per cent succeeds, and that one makes the hundred

· 28:29–29:03

Out of a hundred, he says, success will be obtained in one per cent — but that one per cent who succeeds makes the whole hundred completely. Whereas here, he says, if one man obtains siddhi he sets about spoiling everyone: how did you come to know more than me, bring him down, strike him — and it is in this that Hindus remain stuck.

39

The first thing that happens is that the auspicious shaktis of the kula become impure

The auspicious shaktis of the kula become impure first

· 29:04–29:30

When a Hindu comes within their limit and is given these things, he says, the very first thing is that whatever auspicious shaktis are worshipped in his kula become impure. Understand it, he says, as your entire spiritual property being seized in the way physical property is seized — and there the story ends. Then your helplessness is how to get out.

40

Nobody leaves because it is pleasant at the beginning, and nobody reports his own case

Because it is pleasant at the beginning

· 29:31–29:57

Because in the beginning, when things start working, great pleasure comes, he says — and for that reason people never want to get out. Nobody will report anything negative about their own case; they will only say baba is such, baba is so, taking pleasure in saying my baba, my baba.

41

The kula shaktis do resist the incoming shakti, but they were never credited in the first place

They resist, but you never credited them in the first place

· 29:58–30:30

It is not, he says, that when these outside shaktis enter a kula and family the kula shakti already present there offers no resistance or makes no attempt to stop them. It absolutely will. But since they have not intervened visibly in your prarabdha and have shown you no miracle, you were already not accepting that they have any standing or any samarthya.

42

Sanatan traditions never cut prarabdha; they have it undergone quickly and destroyed

Prarabdha is not cut but made to be undergone quickly and destroyed

· 30:31–30:50

Sanatan traditions never cut prarabdha in that way, he says. They have you undergo it quickly and destroy it completely, so that you should not suffer it again. They do not postpone it — they do not say, very well, give him happiness now and it will come again after two months, we had given it, take it as your own affair.

43

A pure Hindu's worship at such a place transfers his punya straight to what is seated there

A pure Hindu's worship transfers his punya to them

· 30:51–31:33

He says these old things of theirs are seated in all those places by mantra bala, and afterwards, when a Sanatani, a pure Hindu of pure blood performs pujan there, they are at once nourished and at once pleased. When a pure Hindu bathes in Ganga and goes to such places, all his punya is offered to them — so they will be nourished. If they are being nourished today, he says, the cause behind it is Hindus themselves.

44

The claim that Daksha's curse bars Shiva from being kept at home is rejected outright

The claim that Shiva may not be kept at home because of Daksha's curse

· 31:34–32:13

He describes a baba at Har ki Pauri, whose video he says he shared, repeating that Daksha Prajapati had cursed Shiva that his worship would not take place in anyone's house, that for this reason he is worshipped only in the shamshaan, that Shiva ji is a dweller of the shamshaan, and that one should therefore not worship him at home or give him a place. He calls this the head that will have Shiva ji turned out of your house.

45

The teaching that performing puja makes the deities displeased is equally rejected

That doing puja makes the deities angry

· 32:14–32:29

He says that even in this time of social media, where jagriti is being spread that one should do seva-puja and do it properly, there are still such people saying that the deities become displeased by doing puja-paath — and that he had shared that video too.

46

Can a curse touch Shiva, Vishnu or Bhagavati at all?

No curse can attach; they accept it only as leela

· 32:30–32:45 · Also a question

No. He says Bhagavan Shiva himself states that he has no concern with curse or boon and that no curse can attach to him; no curse can attach to Bhagavan Shri Hari Narayana, and no curse can attach to Bhagavati. They accept and take one on merely for the sake of leela.

47

The Sudarshan Chakra ends the daityas sheltering in the ashram of Shukra's mother

The daityas in the ashram of Shukra's mother and the Sudarshan Chakra

· 32:46–33:20

He recounts a video on Shukracharya he had shared: when the daityas go into the ashram of Shukra Dev's mother, Bhagavan Vishnu's Sudarshan Chakra arrives and all of them are ended by it. Before the ending, Bhagavati who is Shukracharya's mother — whose name he says is not coming to mind — stands before the Sudarshan Chakra saying you may not go.

48

Narayana manifests and she asks not for revenge but for a place in his own nija dham

Narayana appears, she asks for a place in his own dham

· 33:21–33:36

At that time Bhagavan Shri Hari Narayana manifests and explains that she should not stop it; whereupon she prays for the attainment of the divya dham, that he should give her a place in his own nija dham and afterwards do as he pleases. After granting her mukti, the slaying of those rakshasas takes place.

49

The episode is retold as though his mother was simply killed, to explain Shukracharya's curse

Presented as though the mother was simply killed

· 33:37–34:03

It is twisted, he says, and presented as though his mother was killed there — and that for this reason Shukracharya became enraged, began to hold enmity towards Bhagavan Vishnu, and cursed him at that very moment.

50

What did cursing Bhagavan cost Shukracharya?

His own tapobala reduced to zero

· 34:04–34:29 · Also a question

On account of giving the curse, when he curses Bhagavan, his own Tapobala becomes zero right there — Shukracharya's own.

And on account of giving the curse, the speaker says — when he gives a curse to Bhagavan — for that very reason his own tapobala becomes zero right there. Shukracharya's own.

51

The curses of crores of births burn to ash at his mere remembrance, so no curse can attach

Those whose mere remembrance burns the curses of crores of births

· 34:30–34:59

Because, he says, the curses of many crores of births are burnt to ash in a moment by the mere remembrance of his name — can any curse attach to him? Curses run by his mere remembrance and boons bear fruit by his mere remembrance; and yet people have had him cursed, saying the curse landed and therefore his worship will not take place.

52

The baba forbidding Shiva at home wears a Shiva ring on his own finger

A Shiva ring worn on the finger while forbidding Shiva at home

· 35:00–35:29

He points out that the baba saying this is himself wearing a ring of Shiva ji on his finger — so what, he asks, does he do on entering his house: cut off his finger and leave it outside, and stick it back with glue when he returns, since a Shivling is entering the house on his ring?

53

More than half a household's problems have their solution hidden in the chaukhat

The chaukhat holds the capacity to stop every kind of tantra

· 36:46–37:05

Remember, he says, that your house will be safe: more than half of your problems have their solution hidden in that Chaukhat. The capacity to stop every kind of tantra is in the chaukhat.

Your house will be safe — remember this, the speaker says. The solution of more than half of your problems is hidden in that chaukhat. The capacity to stop every kind of tantra is in the chaukhat.

54

Take the case of a wayward member of the household who met an akal mrityu

A wayward member of the household and his akal mrityu

· 37:06–38:02

Suppose, he says, there was in your house a sadhak, or some wayward boy who ate and drank everything — chicken, fish, liquor — and suppose that by Bhagavati's kripa he met an Akala Mrityu, whether by a tantra strike or from any cause whatever.

55

A death falling on Holi, Diwali or a Purnima changes what becomes of him

Death falling on Holi, Diwali or a Purnima

· 38:03–38:25

So the matter is this, he says: if such a boy dies an untimely death, but by chance his death occurred in some special parva kaal — Holi, Diwali, suppose a Purnima, Kartik Purnima and so on — and you are a sadhak.

56

Narayana bali, Tripindi and pindikaran are performed for one who died an untimely death

Narayana bali, Tripindi and pindikaran

· 38:26–38:55

In tantra, he says, it is those who die who become bhoot and pret. For this person who has attained death, on account of the untimely death you had Narayana Bali done, had Tripindi Shraddha done, had japa and pindikaran and the rest done — so that he should go into the pitr kula according to his prarabdha; and wherever you went, to whatever tirtha dham, when you have that process performed there, he comes and stands in the pitr kula, though he will not go into the deva kula.

57

A pitr of the upadevata category cannot reach the divine lokas, so his place is the threshold

A capable pitr whose gati is in this loka takes a place at the threshold

· 38:56–39:12

If he has remained only a pret of the Upadevata category, then even though he has become a capable pitr, his gati is in this very loka and he cannot go to the divine lokas. So his place will be in that same chaukhat, and he will remain present in that chaukhat as an ugra devata for your house.

58

He holds the capacity to eat any mleccha tantra prayoga made against the house

The capacity to eat mleccha tantra, with no separate puja required

· 39:13–39:35

When a prayoga of mleccha tantra of any kind is made, he says, this one will hold the capacity to eat that mleccha tantra. And for this you do not have to do any separate puja-paath, bhog, prasadi or offering — none of that bhagat-style business of give this, give that, of one bali becoming two, of two chickens cut and three crows cut. None of that has to be done here.

59

By Devi Ganga's kripa he stands awake at the threshold with the kula pitrs and earns his own gati

By the kripa of Bhagavati Devi Ganga, standing with the kula pitrs

· 39:36–39:59

He will remain awake in that place of his own accord, the speaker says — by the kripa of Bhagavati Devi Ganga he will stand there together with your kula pitrs, and by that very work he will obtain his own gati.

Of his own accord, the speaker says, he will remain awake in that place. By the kripa of Bhagavati Devi Ganga he will stand there together with your kula Pitr. And by that very work he will obtain his gati.

60

He is nourished through the daily panchbali — grain for the ants, sugar scattered, the dogs fed

Through the daily panchbali — grain to ants, sugar, feeding dogs

· 40:00–40:18

Through the panchbali you perform daily, he says: when you put out grain for the ants, when you put out food, whatever sugar powder you scatter, whatever you feed to the dogs. By these very means he obtains nourishment of the body in that yoni, and having been nourished he stands ready there for the protection of your family.

61

No panchbali, no chaukhat, no gau seva and contempt for elders make such protection impossible

No panchbali, no chaukhat, no gau seva, and contempt for the varnas

· 40:19–40:41

If you have never done panchbali in your life, have no chaukhat at all, never do gau seva, never water plants in the heat, speak badly to your wife or husband, abuse your in-laws, do not respect your elder or younger brother, have no respect for the learned, abuse Brahmins, call Kshatriyas impotent, call Vaishyas looters, and use SC-ST language about Shudras — if no one in the world is right for you and you alone are the great one — then such a being will never help you.

62

With conduct that bad he will drink the blood of your throat after death instead of standing guard

After death he will drink the blood of your throat

· 40:42–41:05

Instead of standing with you, the speaker says, after death he will then drink the blood of your throat. All this is possible only when there is at least one person in the house who walks the path of dharma and is dharma-nishtha, and when there is a place in your house where such a being can be given room.

63

No separate puja, dhoop or deep is required — the arrangement is a system of tantra already built

A system of tantra already constructed

· 41:06–41:14

No. He says no separate puja-paath, dhoop, deep or batti is to be done for them and nothing extra is required — this is a system of tantra already constructed beforehand.

And no separate puja-paath is to be done for them, the speaker says; no dhoop, deep or batti; nothing extra at all. This, he says, is a system of tantra already constructed in advance.

64

Narasimha tore open Hiranyakashipu seated on that very threshold

Narasimha tore Hiranyakashipu seated on that very threshold

· 41:15–41:41

He points to the day Bhagavan Narasimha sat upon that chaukhat and tore open the chest of Hiranyakashipu, drew out the entrails and wore them as a garland — and refers listeners to the Sahasrabahu Narasimha stotra, which he says may be found on the Sahasrabahu channel on YouTube, for that whole tandava and where he sat to perform it.

65

Whose place is the threshold of a house or temple?

The dehri, dehli and chaukhat belong to Narasimha

· 41:42–42:03 · Also a question

Whose place, he asks, is the dehri, the dehli, the chaukhat — whether it be the temple of any deity or the house of anyone? The deva who sits on the chaukhat will be one and the same, the greatest deity: there the authority of one deity alone is greatest, Bhagavan Narasimha's. It is not there that Bal Gopal sits eating makhan-mishri; there Narasimha sits tearing open the hearts of such vidharmi shaktis, wearing a garland of entrails and drinking blood.

66

A wayward relative given sadgati at a tirtha attains Narasimha's sanidhya there for a fixed term

Attaining Narasimha's sanidhya at the threshold for a fixed term

· 42:04–42:30

Whatever shakti of your house it may be, he says — even one who met an untimely death and was of wicked disposition — if you happened to have his sadgati performed at Ganga ji or at some tirtha kshetra, then even if his full mukti could not occur, in that same place, obtaining the sanidhya of Bhagavan Narasimha by his kripa-drishti, he will stand ready for the protection of your house for as long as he has been given time to remain in that yoni and guard it.

67

The demand for a written source comes from people who do not follow what is written anyway

You do not follow what is written either

· 42:31–43:04

Asked where it is written, he answers that they do not accept what is written in any case. It is written, he says, that one should rise before sunrise and complete sandhya while the stars are still visible — do you do it? It is written that if you earn ten thousand, three thousand of it should be put into service for your pitrs, for Gau Mata and for panchbali — do you do it?

68

The share you keep back comes back as an illness and eats you

It returns as illness — their share must be given

· 43:05–43:25

What you eat up, he says, then comes back as an illness and eats you. Those people will take their share come what may; the cut has to be given. This is compulsory, because you are a human being, their blood is inside you, and you were born on account of them: it is a rin. If you want release from that rin, do tirtha yatras and live and move according to the vidhi.

69

Live within niti and niyam and the pitrs give a thousand in place of a hundred

A thousand in place of a hundred

· 43:26–43:46

Cry as much as you like, he says: it will make no difference to them, they are bound and can do nothing even if they wish to. When will they? When you live within niti and niyam — then they will give you a thousand in place of a hundred.

70

Does the pitr-protector who stands at the threshold need a shrine, an image or a temple?

The threshold pitr-protector needs a chaukhat in the house, not a than or a murti

· 43:47–44:12 · Also a question

No. If there is no chaukhat at all, he asks, where is he to come from and at which place will he stand to protect you? He is saying: I am standing here, look, I used to perform the seva-puja of Bhagavati as long as I was alive, and by Jagadamba's kripa I have this samarthya — give me a place. You will then build a than for him and install his murti; there is no need at all of a murti, a than or a temple. He needs a chaukhat in the house.

71

A vessel of water for the pitrs must stand in the kitchen all twelve months

A vessel of water in the kitchen for the pitrs, all twelve months

· 44:13–44:39

A vessel of water. He recalls that at this month's Sankranti he had said to keep water in a ghada for one's pitrs without fail. For all twelve months a vessel of water must certainly be in your kitchen — that is the place of the pitrs, and the pitrs who dwell there bring release from diseases.

72

What relation does Bhagavati bear to the pitrs?

Daughter of Himalaya through Bhagavati Mena, hence granddaughter of the pitrs

· 44:40–44:59 · Also a question

He asks: whose daughter is Bhagavati? Himalaya's. Who is her mother? Bhagavati Mena. Who is the father of Bhagavati Mena? On that reckoning, he says, if you look at it so, Bhagavati is the granddaughter of these pitrs — she has been called the daughter of the pitrs.

73

Who receives worship first at any large function?

Nandi-mukh shraddh — pitrs first, then Ganapati, then the rest

· 45:00–45:22 · Also a question

You cannot worship Jagadamba first, he says. Whenever a large function occurs, if a pandit ji or brahman ji who follows the vidhi-vidhan has come, he will first of all have the Nandi shraddh performed — the Nandi-mukh shraddh, the shraddh performed at a time of gladness. There the place belongs first to the pitrs, the right belongs first to the pitrs. After that it is Ganapati ji's, and only then that of the other devi-devatas.

74

The vessel goes in the Ishan kona, with an evening ghee lamp on kusha beside it

The Ishan kona, and an evening ghee lamp on kusha

· 45:23–45:53

Keep the vessel of water in the Ishan kona, he says, or leave the corner aside if you wish — people begin discussing kona and vastu and at once grow weary of how many rules there are. If you keep a good vessel which you wash daily and fill with water, and in the evening light a ghee lamp on kusha at that place, you will be saved from diseases a great deal.

75

What effect do the pitrs have on disease?

A hundred per cent disease worn down until it decays

· 45:54–46:22 · Also a question

Whatever the cause of a disease about to arise in your body — a dosha, a dosha in the kundali, prarabdha — the pitrs, he says, carry the hundred per cent of it down to a level at which after some time it decays. It does not stay as it was: a lifelong disease will end in five or ten years, and a disease of five or ten years will end within a year. That is their samarthya in that place.

76

A house will keep an RO and every fashion but not one earthen ghada

An RO in the house but no earthen ghada

· 46:23–46:45

Because, he says, you will not give that place. You will keep an RO and whatever else is in fashion nowadays, but you cannot keep one earthen ghada, or any good and beautiful vessel for drinking water, and cannot keep one place for them — as there used to be in earlier times. That, he says, is the reason earlier people used to be very well and free of disease.

77

A symbolic sharp weapon at the main door is the third fixture, kept for the Kula Bhairav

A symbolic sharp weapon at the main door for the Kula Bhairav

· 46:46–47:28

The presence, at the main door of the house, of a symbolic astra-shastra for the sake of the Kula Bhairav. Formerly, he says, sharp weapons of some kind were kept near the main door in front of everyone's house — small or large, symbolic — and it was upon these that the Bhairava of the kula used to be worshipped.

78

The kula vadhus should cross the dehri only with the head covered

The kula vadhus cross the dehri with the head covered

· 47:29–47:59

When you have fixed a dehli or dehri at the door of your house, he says, then in accordance with the maryada of that dehri the kula vadhus of the house should always cross it only with a dupatta kept over the head. He notes that saying this will bring a woman card played against him, that he is of old thinking, and answers that this is the cause of their ruin, that it is his duty to tell and he will tell.

79

The threshold belongs to the pitrs — it is stepped over, never trodden on or given to pets

Not stepping on it, and not seating dogs and cats there

· 48:00–48:52

A foot must not be placed there at all — the place belongs to the pitrs, so step over it and come and go. When you seat dogs and cats and rabbits upon it and coo over them, he says, then afterwards they do that same cooing in your life, and you may weep and curse as much as you like, but you will have to undergo it.

80

A person can mock niti and niyam only for as long as his dhan bala lasts

Only as long as he has the strength of wealth

· 48:53–50:00

A person can mock niti and niyam only for as long as he has dhan bala, he says. When he is seized by disease and the diseases begin to give him pain and there is no release from them, when his children begin to be ruined before his eyes and he weeps and begins showing and telling it everywhere — at that time all this tearing to shreds of niti, niyam and maryada is of no use.

81

Can the pitrs help directly?

Kept pure and served, they have the capacity to help in person

· 50:01–50:31 · Also a question

When you keep your pitrs in a pure state and serve them in the proper manner, he says, then they hold the capacity to help in a direct manner. He calls it an experience of his own life, and says he does not usually relate his own experiences because they will not be digested — whatever is beyond your reach appears imaginary, as Brahmaloka does when you have not seen it, or as air would if you had not seen it.

82

Lie in an open unlit field at eight or nine on an ugra ratri and see for yourself

Lying in an open unlit field at eight or nine on an ugra ratri

· 50:32–51:03

In villages, towards the fields where there is no light, on some special tithi — at the time of Holi, at the time of Diwali, or in some such parva kaal, some special ugra ratri when the possibility of tantric prayoga exists — lie down for a while at night, at around eight or nine, in an open place where there is no electric arrangement and the sky is clearly visible. Then, he says, you will see many things flying. You will see it directly; no siddhi is needed.

83

Call it with abuse if you want a real test — and he offers his own prayashchitta for the words

Call it with abuse — and his own prayashchitta for the words used

· 51:04–51:59

If you have a wish to take a real risk and to see whether or not something happens, he says, then when you see something flying past or sitting, call it with abuse — shout loudly and call it, saying, come here, show me who you are if you have the samarthya. He asks mothers and sisters to close their ears, apologises for the words, and says he will go and perform prayashchitta in the nisha kaal, in the fourth prahar puja.

84

Like the man bursting firecrackers, you will not be left in a state to say nothing happened

The firecracker analogy — you will not be left in a state to say it

· 52:00–52:36

He compares it to a well-known viral video in which a man bursts a firecracker in his mouth, then bursts one in his hand and the hand disappears while he says nothing happens, then sits on a cylinder and sets it alight. That is what will happen, he says — nothing will happen, but you will not be able to say so, because these things will not leave you in a state fit to speak.

85

Should dogs and cats be kept in the house?

The character becomes like that of the animal kept

· 52:37–53:49 · Also a question

He says he will tell how people become characterless: look at those who keep dogs and cats in the house. Those whose threshold dogs and cats begin to cross, who go about carrying them in the lap, and where the dog or cat begins to eat from the same plate of food — their character too becomes like that of a dog or cat as time goes on. He says this is his own experience and that he is naming no one personally.

86

Wanting to live like Bhairav or Datta means leaving home and family, not keeping their symbols

Then adopt their life and leave the household

· 53:50–54:02

If you have a great wish to become Bhairav, a great wish to become a Bhairav sadhak, a great wish to become like Bhagavan Datta, he says, then adopt a life like theirs — leave home and family, and after that keep what you like.

You have a great wish to become Bhairav, the speaker says; a great wish to become a Bhairav sadhak; a great wish to become like Bhagavan Dattatreya. Then adopt their kind of life. Leave the household and family. After that, keep and go about with whatever you please.

87

If the Yudhishthira argument holds, your vehicle should travel above the ground as his did

If you are Yudhishthira, your vehicle should travel above the ground

· 54:03–54:54

To the four or five who argue that when Yudhishthira went, the dog in his form as Dharmaraja went with him, he answers: will you deny that? Then are you as truthful as Yudhishthira? He says it is read in the Mahabharata that the wheel of Yudhishthira's chariot stayed above the ground, in the air, because he was so great a knower of dharma and so lived in truthfulness — so those who cite him should find their own Ducati and Range Rover flying in the air.

88

Bhagavan Datta struck the nagara at the ganika Pingala's house

The nagara struck at the ganika's house and the rain of gold

· 54:55–55:30

He relates a story he says came in a good video by some gentleman about Pingala, whom Bhagavan Datta held as a guru: she was a ganika, a nagarvadhu, at whose house people stood in line, and a nagara was kept there which had to be struck at the cost of so many gold coins for her to come out and be seen once. Bhagavan Datta went there in the state of an avadhut and began striking the nagara again and again.

89

A rain of gold followed, and Pingala became his disciple

A rain of gold, and she became his disciple

· 55:31–56:05

She came out flustered, wondering which rich man or chakravarti had come to strike the nagara so many times, and saw a faqir; laughing, she said, where will you give so much from — but tell me what I should do for you. He rained gold: God is God, he says, siddhis are in his every pore, and it is Bhagavan Datta who is directly the lord of all the siddhis. When the rain of gold occurred she became his disciple, and he took what he learned from her and held her as a guru.

90

Datta walked with a cow as well as a dog, but only the dog is ever cited

You see Datta's dog but not his cow

· 56:06–56:29

If you have samarthya equal to Bhagavan Datta's, so that you can have a rain of gold made, then keep a dog and go about with a dog, he says. But Bhagavan Datta walked with a cow — why do you people not keep that cow? Datta's dog is visible to you and his cow is not. Keep the cow too.

91

There is no samarthya in the mantra itself — it lies in conduct and discipline

Not in the mantra but in conduct and discipline

· 56:30–57:12

If you cannot do it, he says, then stop blaming the devatas, the pitrs, the mantras and the learned. There is no samarthya in the mantra — the samarthya is in your conduct and in your discipline. Is there any niti or niyam in your life? When there is not, why are you saying anything to anyone else?

92

A house is secure only once the mantras, stotras, kavachas and mala mantras of the protective deities are perfected

Perfecting the mantras, stotras, kavachas and mala mantras of the protective deities

· 57:13–57:42

Until you perfect the mantras, stotras, Kavachs and mala mantras of the protective deities and become capable, he says, you will remain unsafe.

Know one matter, the speaker says: how you should now keep your house completely secure. So long as you do not perfect the mantras, the stotras, the kavachas and the mala mantras of the protective deities, and become one possessed of samarthya — for so long you will remain unsafe.

93

Is bhava alone enough to bring the deity?

Draupadi had bhava, but she had also done tapa of that level

· 57:43–58:13 · Also a question

No. Merely saying bhava, bhava — that if there is bhava the devi-devatas will come — will not happen, he says. Along with bhava one must also be worthy. Bhagavati Draupadi had within her the bhava by which Shri Krishna came at a single call, but she had also performed tapa of that level. All the great women and great men at whose single word Bhagavan used to come had first performed tapa of that level, and were then living that bhava — they were not presenting a false bhava got by listening to the tales of kathavachaks and turning sweet.

94

The first two tasks are a chaukhat at the house and drinking water kept in a ghada in the kitchen

Make a chaukhat, and keep drinking water in a ghada in the kitchen

· 58:14–58:26

The very first work you should do, he says: make a chaukhat at your house; and in your kitchen let there be an arrangement for keeping drinking water — not in tanks, but in a ghada or in some such vessel. These two things must certainly be there.

The very first work you should do is this, the speaker says. Make a chaukhat at your house. And in your kitchen let there be an arrangement for keeping drinking water — not in tanks, but in a ghada or in some such vessel. These two things must certainly be there.

95

An abhimantrit iron trishul, however small, belongs at the main door

An abhimantrit iron trishul, however small

· 58:27–58:40

Third, he says, near the main door of your house there must certainly be a trishul — symbolic if need be, small if need be, but an iron trishul, one that is fully Abhimantran-ed. He says the whole vidhi for this was already given on the channel two or three years ago.

96

Every member of the family must be brought to sadhana, and that is the sadhak's responsibility

Every member of the family must be made to do sadhana

· 58:41–59:02

The fourth thing is every member of your family: if you are a sadhak, that is your responsibility. Your doing it alone will not work. Gradually have everyone perform sadhanas, even for half an hour, he says — and if in twenty-four hours you cannot take out even half an hour, then dhikkar upon your life, and you have come here by mistake.

97

Birth in a Sanatani household has taken place for the sake of sadhana alone

Birth in such a house is for the sake of sadhana

· 59:03–59:32

Why, he asks, has your birth taken place in the house of a Hindu, as a Sanatani? However calamitous your condition, however destitute you may be, your birth has taken place for the sake of sadhana alone. Had that not been the intention you would have been given birth abroad, or among others of that kind. There were some good deeds behind it, that even if the birth was in the lowest family, a path has been given to you — because what you may obtain here will be obtained nowhere else.

98

Which mantras are open to everyone to begin with?

Panchakshari, the 32 Namavali and Jayanti Mangala

· 59:33–59:49 · Also a question

Begin with the devi-devatas of your own kula, he says. Of what is authorised for you: everyone can do Panchakshari, everyone can do the 32 Namavali, everyone can do Jayanti Mangala.

How will you first have it done, the speaker asks. Have it done of the devi-devatas of your own kula. Of whatever is authorised for you: everyone can do Panchakshari; everyone can do the durga-32-names; everyone can do Jayanti Mangala Kali.

99

When should nyasa be learned?

Learn nyasa after five or ten thousand, and do not stop at two or three thousand

· 59:50–1:00:25 · Also a question

When you have done five or ten thousand, also learn to do the Nyasa of it, he says. And do not get stuck on the view that we have only to do two or three thousand japa, only four or five thousand, that we do not have to do more japa, that our work is done with this much — it is by saying exactly this, he says, that people are cheated and drawn to someone: do not labour.

100

Experiences begin at five or ten thousand japa, but nothing is accomplished by that alone

Experiences begin, but nothing is accomplished by that alone

· 1:00:26–1:00:52

Nothing is going to happen with five or ten thousand, he says: take it to five or ten thousand and even then much will begin to be experienced, but nothing is going to be accomplished with that much. See at what level those you have to deal with directly have made their preparation — the samarthya within you too should be of that level, and only then will the work be done.

101

Tapobala is lost at every turn through curses and abuse, and its prayashchitta must be done

Stop spending tapobala at every turn — and his own reckoning for it

· 1:00:53–1:01:35

Stop the loss of tapobala at every little thing, he says — giving curses, giving abuse as he does. He says he sits with a quota, that he will speak so much and abuse so much and will then perform its prayashchitta; that if he is doing ten thousand nama japa through the day, then two or four abuses are nothing against those ten thousand, and it is a compulsion because without abusing you will not understand. There is a cause behind his, and it is a good cause; yours will have no good cause and will be given out of dvesha — so do not give it, since it is a loss of tapobala.

102

With which sadhana should one begin?

The kula devata first, otherwise any of these mantras

· 1:01:36–1:01:52 · Also a question

Now begin sadhana, he says — first of all of the devi-devata of your own kula; otherwise make whatever choice you wish from among all these mantras and then do japa and the rest. If you do it in conformity with the niti, niyam and maryada, you will have great benefit.

103

Which outward observances are compulsory?

Kada, mudrika, kanthi, waist thread, foot kada and shikha

· 1:01:53–1:02:21 · Also a question

In the Sanatan samskriti — in the tantra marga, the Nath marga and the Vedic marga alike — the Yajnopavita is a separate matter, he says, but even after that: wearing a kada on the hand, wearing a mudrika on the fingers, a kanthi or a mala at the throat, a waist thread at the waist so that it is bound and not left open, a kada on the foot, and a shikha on the head. These, he says, are certainly compulsory.

104

Grow the hair for a year or two without letting scissors touch it, men especially

Grow the hair for a year or two without scissors, men especially

· 1:02:22–1:03:21

Try growing the hair once, he says. If you are not under some compulsion, not in a service where the hair must be kept short, then grow it: without letting scissors be used, grow your hair for a year or two, and afterwards you may have it cut if you wish. He addresses this especially to men, and to those who are getting no siddhi, having no experience, whose circumstances have become poor and mean, who are always weeping — let those people grow their hair. It is not a matter of a mannat: keep it groomed, try it for a year or two, and within a year and a quarter you will understand, and there will be a difference of earth and sky.

105

Mahabhairav should be taken up after the initial sadhanas, his stotra having that capacity today

Mahabhairav, whose stotra has that capacity today

· 1:03:22–1:03:32

After the initial sadhanas, certainly do Mahabhairav, he says. In today's time there is that kind of capacity in his stotra; a great deal can happen.

After the initial sadhanas, the speaker says, certainly perform Mahabhairav. In today's time there is that kind of capacity in his stotra. A great deal can come about.

106

Where does the practice usually go wrong?

Wanting results in four or forty days, and changing deity, baba and dham

· 1:03:33–1:04:06 · Also a question

The trouble comes, he says, when you are already sunk in the pit and at that time you want the work to be done in four days or forty days — then you are stuck, and it does not happen. It will happen, but it will take six or seven months, and you have no patience within you. So you keep changing deity, keep changing baba, keep changing dham; nothing happens, and after two years you are standing in the same place and sunk deeper.

107

What is the best approach when one is already in difficulty?

Take help from one person only until you are safe, then build your own capacity

· 1:04:07–1:04:23 · Also a question

The best thing when you are in difficulty, he says, is to take help — but from one person. Let the help be only this much, that we remain safe. After that, at the point where you become a little safe and get a little stability, increase your own samarthya.

108

What daily schedule of japa should a householder keep, and in what order?

Half an hour fixed, bath, asana, dhoop deep, guru-Ganapati smaran, then purashcharana

· 1:04:24–1:04:44 · Also a question

Take out time, he says, and make a schedule even of half an hour of japa. If your time is not fixed, then whenever you get time in the twenty-four hours: if you have eaten, bathe, change your clothes, sit on the asana, light dhoop and deep, do the five minutes of initial smaran of Guru and Ganapati, and then come on to the main purashcharana you have to do.

109

At minimum, an anushthan of five lakh Panchakshari — a hundred malas make ten thousand japa

Five lakh, with a hundred malas making ten thousand japa

· 1:04:45–1:04:58

If you can do nothing else, he says, do at least an anushthan of five lakh of Panchakshari. If you do a hundred malas, then a hundred malas means ten thousand japa.

And if you can do nothing at all, the speaker says, then perform at the least an anushthan of five lakh of Panchakshari. If you do a hundred malas — a hundred malas means how much? Ten thousand japa.

110

The count builds to thirty lakh Panchakshari, after which Mahabhairav is done with samput

Thirty lakh Panchakshari, then Mahabhairav with samput, and the forty-second day

· 1:04:59–1:05:16

You will get the practice, he says, and will comfortably do a hundred malas of Panchakshari in an hour. When you have done five lakh of Panchakshari, then ten lakh, then twenty lakh, and go on until the day you take it to thirty lakh — then when you sit to do Mahabhairav, after forty-one days the forty-second day will not be able to stay empty. Doing samput with this same Panchakshari, again and again, you will keep Mahabhairav awakened.

111

Such a sadhak need not even touch the afflicted person to act

No need even to touch the afflicted person

· 1:05:17–1:05:31

Wherever the need arises — if it seems to you that the prayoga and effect of some foul kshudra tantra has fallen upon your daughter, your sisters, your wife or mother, or upon anyone at all — you will not even need to touch that person, on account of your tapobala.

112

You sit and remember, and the method of the counter-prayoga arises in the buddhi of itself

You sit and remember, and the method arises of itself

· 1:05:32–1:05:48

You will simply sit and remember, he says, and your buddhi will become so firm that all these things will come into your mind of their own accord — how the prayoga is to be done, what prayoga is to be done. By mental strength you will become capable of catching that whole thing and turning it back.

113

With thirty or forty lakh Panchakshari behind it, diksha makes the growth swift

With thirty or forty lakh Panchakshari behind you, initiation makes it swift

· 1:05:49–1:06:00

And if by chance your diksha has taken place, he says, it will not take you long to become tremendous — provided you have kept up thirty or forty lakh of Panchakshari japa. Prarabdha is in its place, suffering is in its place, and the samarthya of the mantras is in its place.

114

Having reached Pratyangira in krama diksha, little effort remains for her mantra siddhi

Little effort needed for her mantra siddhi once you have gone that far

· 1:06:01–1:06:20

If in Krama Vidya diksha you have gone as far as Mahapratyangira, he says, then you will not have to make very much effort for the siddhi of Bhagavati Pratyangira, for the siddhi of her mantras. And if her kripa has come and you have done the purashcharana of the mantras, then when all this falls before you, the capacity to break it in a second will be within you.

115

People never get prepared because they wander between mantras and never grip one deity

Wandering between mantras and never gripping a deity

· 1:06:21–1:06:54

They keep wandering, he says, asking which mantra we should do — they are unable to grip the deity at all. He gives his own case: he does seva-puja in the Vindhya kshetra; if tomorrow he goes to Patan Devi he will take darshan of Bhagavati there, but will not do japa of any mantra of Patan Devi — even there he will do japa of the mantra of his own Vindhyavasini, will read her kavach, will read her mala mantra, will recite her sahasranama.

116

Whose mantra does one do at a tirtha or a kunda?

Only one's own ishta, in all ten kundas

· 1:06:55–1:07:34 · Also a question

If tomorrow you go to Kamakhya ji, he says, then do there whatever is written in the video for the sake of Bhagavati Kamakhya — but whose japa will you do everywhere? In the kunda, whose japa is to be done? Going to the tirthas, for the sake of siddhi, which one? Only that of your own ishta-aradhya. Not differently in each place — that having gone to Pitambara Mai you are doing Baglamukhi japa, dushtam vacham mukham there; having gone to Dhumavati, Ma Dhumavati dhum dhum dhuma there. Not that. In all ten kundas his japa alone will run, because the root is the same.

117

Begin with Datta's dev diksha vidhan, the chaukhat, the water place and daily panchbali, then jeev and plant seva

Datta's dev diksha vidhan, chaukhat, water place and panchbali daily, then jeev seva and plant seva

· 1:07:35–1:07:52

The beginning is made from the house, he says. So first of all your dev diksha vidhan of Bhagavan Datta; the chaukhat of your house; the place for drinking water; panchbali — let all this be daily. After that comes jeev seva, and after that the seva of trees and plants: begin the seva of some one tree or plant.

118

Tapobala rises and the malin pitrs turn shubhra, capable and engaged in your protection

Tapobala increases and malin pitrs become pure and protective

· 1:07:53–1:08:07

Your tapobala will begin to increase, he says. The pitrs will begin to become of a shubhra hue; the upa-pitrs and the malin pitrs will become capable and pure and will become engaged in your protection, becoming those who stand with you at every step.

119

On which tithi should the Gita paath of one's aradhya be done?

Paakshik Gita paath — Ekadashi, or the deity's own tithi

· 1:08:08–1:08:30 · Also a question

After doing this for three to six months, he says, your next work — and in between, from time to time — on Ekadashi you should do the Gita paath of your aradhya, or on whatever tithi is your aradhya's. Do it once a month or once a paksha; do a paakshik paath. If you do Bhagavati's, then do it on Ashtami, Navami or Chaturdashi; do it on Purnima or Amavasya. If you do Ganapati ji's, do it on Chaturthi, do it on Chaturdashi. On Sankranti, everyone's can be done.

120

On which tithis is the Gita paath of Bhagavan Shiva done?

Panchami, Trayodashi, Dwadashi, Chaturdashi, Amavasya, Purnima — choose one

· 1:08:31–1:08:42 · Also a question

If you have to do the Gita paath of Bhagavan Shiva, he says, then do it on Panchami, do it on Trayodashi, do it on Dwadashi, do it on Chaturdashi, do it on Amavasya or Purnima. Choose one tithi and begin doing it.

If you have to do the Gita paath of Bhagavan Shiva, the speaker says, then do it on Panchami, do it on Trayodashi, do it on Dwadashi, do it on Chaturdashi, do it on Amavasya or Purnima. Choose one tithi, and begin doing it.

121

Where should a mantra be perfected before going to a tirtha?

In a temple first — Mahabhairav in a Shiva temple, even one mala

· 1:08:43–1:08:59 · Also a question

In five or six months a great difference will have come, he says, and only then should you go to a tirtha and perfect the mantras. Before that, perfect the mantras in a temple: if it is the Mahabhairav mantra, then perfect it in a Shiva temple alone. Do only one mala of japa — he says he is not saying you must do a hundred malas of Mahabhairav; but Panchakshari after five lakh.

122

One with no guru should do four lakh japa of the ekakshari of Datta's dev diksha vidhan over a year

Four lakh minimum of the ekakshari of Datta's dev diksha vidhan, over a year

· 1:09:00–1:09:27

Assuming you have no guru, he says, then take the dev diksha vidhan of Bhagavan Dattatreya: if you did even one lakh japa of the Ekakshari, four lakh japa, then a great deal will come about. Do a minimum of four lakh japa of the ekakshari. It will take time — take a year — but after a year there will be a difference of earth and sky between your condition today and your condition then.

123

An advertised course sells the siddhi of all ten Mahavidyas over Zoom

A young man selling siddhi of all ten Mahavidyas over Zoom

· 1:09:28–1:10:11

He describes an advertisement that keeps appearing on Facebook in which a man speaks about the ten Mahavidyass, claiming to have transformed the life of several thousand — five thousand — people, though from no angle does he look fit to transform even his own life. He says the man announces classes on Zoom for the siddhi of the ten Mahavidyas, that he appears to be barely twenty-two or twenty-three years old, and asks the listener to consider what he is going to do.

124

Repetition makes a falsehood feel true, which is why reference must be taken from the shastras

Repetition makes a falsehood feel true — so do svadhyaya

· 1:10:12–1:10:53

Because, he says, when you see a negative thing again and again, however much a lie the man is telling, on hearing it again and again it begins to feel true to you. That is why one says: take reference of the shastras. Who knows, he says, perhaps we too are sitting and telling lies — so read the shastras, read the Puranas; do svadhyaya. Do not accept me, but listen to what I say and accept that.

125

Bhagavati reckons the consequence, and the samarthya you gain stays yours regardless

Bhagavati will see it; the samarthya you gain remains yours

· 1:10:54–1:11:07

Bhagavati will see it, he says: whatever the punishment or the result, good or bad, that will remain between you and us. But the samarthya you obtain — there is no telling to what level you will become capable of doing good to your family with it.

Bhagavati will see it, the speaker says. Whatever its punishment, or whatever its result, good or bad, will remain between you and us. But with the samarthya you will obtain, there is no telling to what level you may become capable of doing kalyan to your family. Remember this, he says.

126

After the house is secured, the next stage is japa in the temple near it

Japa in the temple near your house

· 1:11:08–1:11:45

One more matter after this, he says: first you secured the house, you did japa and tapa in the house, which is the whole subject discussed. The second subject that comes after it is japa in the temple — whatever temple there is near your house.

127

Hanuman's devotees fill the temples on a Tuesday, but look at the bhakti taking place there

Hanuman's devotees come, but see what kind of bhakti takes place

· 1:11:46–1:11:57

On Tuesday the devotees of Hanuman ji will certainly go, he says — but do look at the condition of the temples. Hanuman ji's devotees will certainly go, but what kinds of bhakti take place there you will understand very well.

On Tuesday, the speaker says, the devotees of Hanuman ji will certainly go — but do look at the condition of the temples. Hanuman ji's devotees will certainly go. But what sorts of bhakti take place there, you will come to understand very well.

128

At a new Shiva temple, ghee was poured over the Shivling while Jaunpur was being discussed

Ghee poured over the Shivling while Jaunpur was discussed

· 1:11:58–1:13:01

He describes going to a newly built temple to perform a good shringar for Baba, and finding women already there: where had you gone, oh I was in the village at Jaunpur, when did you come, I came just now — all this while Shiva ji is being bathed and a full anointing with ghee is being done. Shiva ji, he says, is listening to the story of Jaunpur; my wife is pregnant, and so on.

129

Gossip runs before, during and after the puja, and then the complaint is that Shiva shows no kripa

Gossip before, during and after, and then the complaint that Shiva shows no kripa

· 1:13:02–1:13:11

And they say we come every day, he says — and this is what must happen every day. Then afterwards they say Shiva ji is not showing kripa, we worshipped Shiva ji our whole life. At the time of death, he says, the devatas of Jaunpur will come to take them. Discuss the place you have gone to; do seva-puja concerning the one for whose sake you went. Instead, before the puja, after the puja and during the puja, all three, gossip about one another is running.

130

In that atmosphere he forgot the whole Rudrashtakam mid-japa

The whole Rudrashtakam forgotten

· 1:13:12–1:13:32

He says he was doing an ordinary japa of the Rudrashtakam and forgot — he forgot the whole Rudrashtakam. What is going on, he asked himself; where have we got stuck, what place have we come to, what is happening. Those who disturb themselves, he says, will disturb others too.

131

Basaha Baba is Nandi Baba, and when he was called out everyone in the temple lost their place

Basaha Baba is Nandi Baba, and everyone in the temple forgot everything

· 1:13:33–1:14:00

A baba ji arrived, he says, perhaps a shopkeeper of some shop, and started off first of all with Jai Basaha Baba, Jai Basaha Baba. Basaha Baba, he explains, is what Nandi Baba is called; basaha means the bull. So he first propitiated Nandi Baba as Basaha Baba — and hearing his mantra, everyone sitting there forgot everything.

132

Those sitting in japa, tapa and puja in a temple are not to be disturbed

Do not disturb those doing japa in a temple

· 1:14:01–1:15:00

Nobody teaches these people, he says, that if ten people are sitting in the temple doing japa, tapa and puja, they are not to be disturbed. If we too have to do it, and to do it with bhava, then do it quietly — not deliberately come and start ringing the bell, and all this forced and crooked business. Do not, in the attempt to show yourself a great devotee, commit such indiscipline in a temple; better, he says, that you do not go at all and call Basaha Baba at home.

133

After the house and the temple, the tirtha dham comes next, undertaken for the kula pitrs

Moving towards the tirtha dham, and thinking for the kula pitrs

· 1:15:01–1:15:21

So the house is done and the temple outside the house is done, he says; after these two, advance towards the tirtha dham. Think for the sake of the kula pitrs. If you want the samarthya and awakening of the mantras completely, then the responsibility of restoring all those whom you have destroyed in your life, your kula and your ancestors, is this generation's.

134

This generation has seen the old ways and borne the tragedies, and the future rests on it

A generation that has seen the old ways and holds the future

· 1:15:22–1:16:01

You are a generation, he says, that has seen all the things of earlier times and has borne great tragedies, and the future rests on you. If you dismiss these things as superstition and walk away with abuse, then when your next generation suffers it will abuse you; and if you prepare it today, that same generation will thank you tomorrow and call you my great grandfather.

135

The sankalp to take is that Bhagavati give sadbuddhi to a wrong-minded member of the house

A sankalp for a wrong-minded family member, that Bhagavati give him sadbuddhi

· 1:16:02–1:16:45

He is not saying, he clarifies, that you should take a sankalp that Bhagavati manifest before you. Take a sankalp: if there is someone in your house of wrong understanding, then perform puja taking a sankalp for his sake — that Bhagavati, give him sadbuddhi. Unity will come into the family, and only then will you be able to fight those who wish your destruction.

136

Society once held up the charitra of Ram, Lakshman and Bharat as the example of family conduct

Ram and Lakshman, and the brother who is Bharat

· 1:16:46–1:17:48

Without deva kripa the family too will not survive, he says. Formerly the charitra of Bhagavan Shri Ramchandra ji Maharaj was shown, and the charitra of Lakshman ji, and people used to give that example in society — these two brothers are like Ram and Lakshman; the younger never sets aside the word of the elder; if this one is Ram then that one is Lakshman, and that one is Bharat in person, who never speaks to his elder brother meeting his eyes. Today, he says, it is Spiderman and Hulk; the world of Marvel is running.

137

The child made Bal Mukund at Janmashtami is made a joker on 25 December

The same child made Krishna, and then made a joker on 25 December

· 1:17:49–1:18:18

There is no discussion of Krishna and Balaram at all, he says. When Janmashtami comes, all the boys are made Bal Mukund and the girls are made Radha ji, and that is that. Then 25 December comes, and on that day the same child who had been made Krishna becomes the Santa uncle, a joker. Can Krishna ever become a joker, he asks — the very child you make Bhagavan Shri Krishna you then make a joker again.

138

Bhagavati Sati took the form of Sita to test Shri Ram, and Shiva renounced her for it

Sati taking the form of Sita to test Shri Ram, and Shiva's renunciation of her

· 1:18:19–1:18:53

Had you heard the Puranas, he says, you would know why Bhagavan Shiva renounced Sita — that is, Bhagavati Sati, not Parvati ji — when she assumed the form of Bhagavati Sita and went before Ram ji to test him. He notes this whole subject is according to kalpa bheda, but that at least this much must be known: because she took on the form of Bhagavati Sita, Bhagavan Shiva renounced her, saying that you had gone into the form of the Mother alone.

139

Ram and Sita regard Hanuman as their first son, which is why he is king of Ayodhya

Hanuman regarded as the first son of Ram and Sita

· 1:18:54–1:19:26

In the form of Bhagavan Hanuman ji it is the Mother too, he says: Bhagavan Shri Ramchandra ji Maharaj and Bhagavati Maiya Sita regard Hanuman ji as their first son. It is for this reason that Hanuman ji is today the king of Ayodhya — the rajpath was given to him, and seated in Hanumangarhi he is ruling.

140

The kathavachaks taught ras leela and Krishna the rasiya in place of paurush

Ras leela and Krishna as a rasiya, in place of paurush

· 1:19:27–1:19:59

Had you known this episode and taken it seriously, he says — not merely as imaginary tales for entertainment — and had the kathavachaks explained this subject to you, this ruin would not have happened. If they had leisure from showing ras leela, from making Bhagavan Shri Krishna a rasiya and going on with rasik, rasik, and if they had given that kind of message into society, then today you too would have made your child possessed of paurush.

141

A child dressed as Krishna should be made to recite eighteen shlokas of the Gita

Eighteen shlokas of the Gita, beginning with Dharmakshetre Kurukshetre

· 1:20:00–1:20:30

Krishna ji, he says, had the whole eighteen adhyayas of the Bhagavad Gita by heart — so recite eighteen shlokas to us; now sit. Recite Dharmakshetre Kurukshetre, the first shloka; sit down. Have the child memorise shlokas in the sitting room: you had become Krishna, so now you will have to memorise shlokas, and along with it you too will come to know them. And where the Bhagavad Gita has been memorised, kalyan is bound to happen — whether laukik gati comes or not, paralaukik gati will certainly come, since there are so many subjects in the Gita mahatmya.

142

Knowing only how to put on a swang, your own life becomes a swang

You know only how to put on a guise, and your life becomes a guise

· 1:20:31–1:20:50

You know only how to put on a swang, he says — and for that very reason your life becomes a swang, and then you are left weeping that Bhagavan does not come. Bhagavan does come, he says; you simply do not recognise Bhagavan.

You know only how to fashion a swang, a guise, the speaker says. And for exactly that reason your life becomes a swang, and then you are left weeping that Bhagavan does not come. Bhagavan does come. You do not recognise Bhagavan at all.

143

After the family and the temples are saved, the next duty is that everyone become mantra siddha

Everyone should become mantra siddha

· 1:20:51–1:21:19

So first save yourself, your children and your family, he says; then save the temples near you. And after that the next duty is that all should become mantra siddha. By the samarthya of mantra the invocation of the devatas takes place, the tattvas of the devatas become present, and it is on their account that you will be able to secure yourself properly in such a calamity.

144

What does japa and purashcharana do to the intellect?

Sharpness of buddhi and the ability to read a planned narrative

· 1:21:20–1:21:58 · Also a question

When you do japa of the mantras and do purashcharana, he says, prakharta comes into the buddhi. You will be able to gauge things and to understand how and what is happening in all these pre-planned matters. He asks why one is unable to make that assessment even while seeing it before one's eyes, and answers: because you do not have the samarthya of mantras and are of dull understanding.

145

When should one begin visiting tirthas, and how often?

After six months to a year of purashcharana, every six months or year

· 1:21:59–1:22:15 · Also a question

When you have done the purashcharana of the mantras for a year, or for six months, properly and in sequence as far as possible, he says, then begin coming and going to the tirtha kshetras near you — a Shakti Peeth, whatever kshetras there are of the twelve Jyotirlingas. Go every six months, every year.

146

Ask to be called to their dham as readily as you ask for wealth

Ask to be called to their dham, as you ask for wealth

· 1:22:16–1:22:33

They alone will give you the samarthya, and you will have to ask, he says. Just as you always ask for wealth and possessions and all the rest, so also tell them to call you to their dham.

They alone will give the samarthya to you, the speaker says; you will have to say it. Just as you are always asking for wealth and possessions and all the rest — in the same way, tell them also to call you to their dham.

147

How should one conduct oneself at a dham?

The dham should be gupt; reels and photographs only for oneself

· 1:22:34–1:22:45 · Also a question

When you go to their dham, he says, do not go only to wander about — going and wandering and coming back, going and making reels and coming back. First of all, the dham should be gupt. Reels and photographs should be only for yourself, that yes, we had gone; they should not be for showing.

148

What japa should be done at a dham, and how much?

A sava lakh japa, possible only with daily practice of a hundred malas

· 1:22:46–1:23:05 · Also a question

Second, he says, when you go there, certainly perform the purashcharana of the mantra — and only if you have the practice will you be able to do a purashcharana. If you do a hundred malas of japa daily, then going to the dham you will be able to complete a japa of a sava lakh and return.

149

Where in a tirtha may one sit to do japa?

The whole tirtha kshetra is fit; the garbhagriha is not available

· 1:23:06–1:23:31 · Also a question

You will not get to do havan there, nor darshan, he says — you will get shikhar darshan; search out a place for japa and do japa anywhere at all. You will not get to sit in the garbhagriha and do japa. Whatever place of the tirtha there is in a tirtha kshetra is suitable for you. You have come from outside; you are not a resident there.

150

The Devi Bhagavata, the Ushanas Purana and the Durga Kalpadruma are cited but never followed

Devi Bhagavata Mahapuran, Ushanas Purana, Durga Kalpadruma and other tantras

· 1:23:32–1:24:01

Whatever the subject may be, he says — be it the subject of the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam, the subject of the Ushanas Purana, the subject of other tantras such as the Kalpadruma and the durga-kalpadruma-tantra — these people will be foremost in giving the reference of all of them in writing, but they will not accept the thing itself. This, he says, is the irony; it is the maya of Bhagavati.

151

Can one do purashcharana while living without discipline?

The beginning is always from discipline, within the maryada of grihastha dharma

· 1:24:02–1:24:29 · Also a question

Live with rule and discipline, he says. If you very much wish to live undisciplined and unrestrained, with every kind of licence, and to do mantra purashcharana while living just anyhow, then that much samarthya must come within you first — only then will you become like that. The beginning will always be from discipline alone, and always in conformity with the maryada of whatever grihastha dharma you are in.

152

Upadesh of that grade belongs only before worthy persons, or the root tattva is missed

Only before worthy persons, or the root tattva is missed

· 1:24:30–1:24:46

Upadesh even of this level, he says, should for this very reason be given before worthy persons. Giving pure-grade upadesh before the unworthy, if such a notion arises in their mind, means they will not understand the root tattva — from what level the speaker has spoken, what you have to do first and what afterwards. They will simply say yes, discipline, in the way certain sants pronounce on the whole subject.

153

A viral sant claims a pig's touch in Vrindavan carries the merit of Ganga

The claim that a pig's touch there is as meritorious as Ganga

· 1:24:47–1:25:33

He describes a viral video of a sant who was asked about pigs touching one during the Vrindavan parikrama, which makes one feel glani and impure, and who answered that even the pigs of Vrindavan touching you is as meritorious as Ganga. This, he says plainly, is not maryada.

154

Then those who say so should carry a pig on the head as Shiva carries Ganga in his jata

Then carry the pig on your head as Shiva carries Ganga in his jata

· 1:25:34–1:26:02

If that is so, he says, then by his reckoning all those who have made such statements should go about carrying a pig in their hands, since it has been compared with Ganga — and should say, we are going about carrying Ganga. Ganga is in Shiva ji's jata; let the baba ji too put a pig on his head and say there is Ganga in our jata as well, since it is Ganga in person, when you are making the comparison.

155

How should upadesh about matters like purity and impurity be given, and to whom?

Such upadesh should be ekantik — given only to the one worthy person, never to the general class

· 1:26:03–1:26:32 · Also a question

He says he has spoken this after much consideration and that it is not a matter of abuse: if such upadesh is to be given at all, and if the person before you is worthy, then it should be an ekantik upadesh — meant for him alone. It is not for the general class at all.

156

For whom is it true that there is no difference between a dog, a pig and Ganga?

One who has attained the avadhut and divine state

· 1:26:33–1:26:47 · Also a question

If he has attained the avadhut state, he says, if he has attained the divine state, then no difference between dog, pig and Ganga ji will appear to him. But you have to remain in discipline for now; you have not yet attained that grade of nivritti. If you now go about carrying a pig in your hand, you will be play-acting — saying we are doing it because baba ji said so. That, he says, is folly, great folly.

157

The listener has not done his own pindadan, nor his pitrs', nor entered vanaprastha

You have not done your own pindadan, nor entered vanaprastha

· 1:26:48–1:27:07

You have not yet performed your own Pind Daan, he says, nor given the pind of your pitrs; you have not entered vanaprastha; you have not renounced everything. You are still new and young, your marriage is still to happen — and you are saying that touching a pig will bring you sadgati. What is your standing, he asks; before you an upadesh of that level should never be given at all.

158

Teaching that the family is only this birth's debt is meant to ruin a householder

Teaching that the family is only a debt of this birth

· 1:27:08–1:27:31

These unrestrained upadeshas, he says, in which there is talk of leaving the family, of dishonouring one's parents — that we are one jivatma, that there is only this birth's rin between my body and your body, that for this reason we are your son but you are nothing of ours — all of this, if you are inspired by it, is only and solely to ruin you. Your condition, he says, is simply not such that you should take up these things.

159

Telang Swami had the samarthya for such speech — Ramakrishna Paramhansa went to him for diksha

Telang Swami had samarthya — Ramakrishna Paramhansa went to him for diksha

· 1:27:32–1:28:21

Telang Swami was possessed of samarthya, he says: Ramakrishna Paramhansa too had gone to him to take diksha; he had samarthya. Saying it will feel bad, he adds — in what worth of crores of vehicles do these people travel, what chariot, what retinue do they keep before and behind. He says he speaks from YouTube and Facebook because he is a timid person and lacks the samarthya to come and say it before them; if you have samarthya of that level, come and say things at that level.

160

The ultimate harm is sandhya karma abandoned and the distinction of purity abolished

Sandhya karma abandoned and the distinction of purity abolished

· 1:28:22–1:29:02

The harm, he says, is ultimately to Sanatan Dharma; people will have to undergo it. He calls these heads, and says their proceedings will ruin you in one way or another: they will have you deprived of sandhya karma, and will keep no distinction of pure and impure — whereas suchita and ashuchita, shuddhi and ashuddhi, have been discussed again and again, and how shuddhi is to occur, and that you are not to remain in ashuddhi. And there you are being told that if a pig touches you there is no difficulty, that it too is as holy as Ganga ji.

161

What is the proper reading of the saying that tirtha residents are divine?

True in principle, but not where they act wrongly or live in ashuchita

· 1:29:03–1:29:17 · Also a question

There is a subject about the human beings of the tirthas, he grants — that the human beings of a tirtha are of that kind, are these in person, are that; all of it is fine. But if they begin doing wrong deeds, or are fallen into ashuchita and are drinking madira, he says, they are not carrying that much with them in the present time.

162

What is the state of one who has done heavy purashcharana?

Intoxicated by mantras, seeing Jagadamba everywhere

· 1:29:18–1:29:33 · Also a question

Yes, he says, if you have already done a very great deal of mantra purashcharana, you are no longer within your own limit: by reason of the purashcharana of the mantras you have gone into an intoxication, not from drinking any liquor. Jagadamba's kripa has come upon you. In such a state, if a person who drinks or a ganika collides with you, you will have no awareness at all of who is before you — you will see Jagadamba everywhere.

163

Forcing the vision of God into everything licenses whatever one does

Forced seeing of God in everything, and what it leads to

· 1:29:34–1:30:16

But this forced showing — that God is in this, God is in that, therefore whatever we do — he asks the listener to consider what grade of ruin they are bringing on themselves. He says one reads at intervals in the newspaper of a person who went to a place and had his kidney cut out and removed, something of his gone missing; how does it happen? By exactly these things, he says, and you do not understand.

164

When should the japa of the Mahabhairav mantras be begun?

After five lakh Panchakshari, then daily with samput

· 1:30:17–1:30:39 · Also a question

The japa of the Mahabhairav mantras should be begun, he says, at the least when five lakh japa of Panchakshari has been completed; after that one should begin doing its japa daily, making samput.

The japa of the mantras of Mahabhairav, the speaker says, you should begin at the least when five lakh japa of Panchakshari has been completed. After that, making samput, one should begin its japa every day.

165

The prayoga is used when such tantra is felt to be working on you or a family member

When such tantra is felt to be working on you or a family member

· 1:30:40–1:30:51

Whenever it seems to you, he says, that a prayoga of tantra of that kind is being made upon you or upon any member of your family — at that time you should use it.

How is this to be used, the speaker asks. Whenever it seems to you that a prayoga of this kind of tantra and the rest is occurring upon you, or upon any member of your family — at that time you should make use of it.

166

The dehliz and chaukhat of the house are the finest place for it

The dehliz and chaukhat of the house

· 1:30:52–1:31:04

The finest place for performing the prayoga, he says, is the dehliz, the chaukhat of the house. At that same place, whether you perform an Utara or give a bali of any kind — of lemon, of coconut, whatever is given by way of an utara — it is done there.

The finest place for performing the prayoga, the speaker says, is the dehliz, the chaukhat of the house. At that very place, whether you perform an utara, or give a bali of any kind — a bali of lemon or coconut, whatever is given by way of performing an utara — it is done at that same place.

167

Jal, chhak and every laag are all offered at that same threshold

Jal, chhak and laag all offered at the threshold

· 1:31:05–1:31:13

At that same place you have to offer jal, he says; at that same place you have to offer chhak; and whatever Laag you offer, all of it will have to be offered there.

At that very place you have to offer water. At that very place you have to offer chhak. And whatever laag you offer — all of that will have to be offered right there, the speaker says.

168

A tantric kriya turned in reverse stops at the threshold and never reaches you

A reverse tantric kriya stops there — if the chaukhat is strong

· 1:31:14–1:31:24

That place, he says, is such that its effect will not fall upon you. If in a tantric kriya anything is done in reverse, it will stop right there. But for this, he says, your chaukhat must be strong.

That place is of such a kind, the speaker says, that its effect will not fall upon you. If in any tantric kriya something is done in reverse, it will stop right there. But for this your chaukhat must be strong.

169

Keeping the chaukhat strong means keeping it pure, never trodden on, with dhoop and deep burning

Its seva must continue — kept pure, never trodden on, dhoop and deep burning

· 1:31:25–1:31:40

That is, the seva of the chaukhat must keep being done, he says. Always keep it pure and holy; never place your foot upon it; let dhoop and deep keep burning there. Then more than half of the things possessed of samarthya will remain present there for your protection.

170

Recurring dreams of eating such things, of vomiting, of wrong places signal what has been fed

Recurring dreams of eating such things, of vomiting, of wrong places

· 1:31:41–1:32:02

If for some reason it seems to you that by a prayoga of mleccha tantra something has been fed to someone, he says, then in such a state two or three things will certainly be with you, if you are a sadhak or sadhika. The first is that in dreams and the like you will again and again see things connected with mleccha — eating them, vomiting, their emerging from wrong places; such matters will always be seen by you.

171

The remedy is water from the bathing of a tirtha's presiding vigraha, drunk directly

Water from the bathing of a tirtha's presiding vigraha, drunk directly

· 1:32:03–1:32:14

Kamarupa Kamakhya, Vindhyachal dham, any tirtha sthan — such water as is connected with the snana and the rest of the shri vigraha of the principal deity of that place. Make an arrangement to drink that water directly.

Kamarupa Kamakhya, Vindhyachal dham, any tirtha sthan at all, the speaker says. Such water of that place as is connected with the snana and the rest of the shri vigraha of the presiding deity there — make an arrangement for drinking that water directly.

172

It is given daily on an empty stomach for at least one paksha

On an empty stomach daily, for at least one paksha

· 1:32:15–1:32:24

Make that water present in your life, arranging for it, he says, and give it daily on an empty stomach to whichever person has such a trouble. It should certainly be given on an empty stomach for at least one paksha.

Make the presence of that water in your life, the speaker says; get the arrangement made. And give it daily on an empty stomach to that person who has such a trouble. For at least one paksha it should certainly be given on an empty stomach.

173

The utara, the seva-puja of one's aradhya and heavy kavach japa run alongside it

Utara, seva-puja of one's aradhya and heavy kavach japa

· 1:32:25–1:32:40

Along with it, he says, keep performing the utara, the seva-puja of your own aradhya, the japa and tapa, and more and more japa of the kavach. This thing will be finished from the very root — and not only finished: the one who did such a thing will also obtain his due punishment, since all those matters come under the mahatmya.

174

Is self-abhimantrit water the same as water from a tirtha kunda?

A very great difference between the two

· 1:32:41–1:33:06 · Also a question

No. The effect of doing it having yourself made the water Abhimantran-ed, and your using directly the water of the kundas of the tirthas — between these, he says, there is a very great effect and a very great difference.

If you do it having yourself performed abhimantran upon the water, that has its effect, the speaker says. And if you use directly the water of the kundas of the tirthas — between these there is very much more effect, and a very great difference.

175

The present situation asks that people be awake and furnished with mantra bala

Be awake, and be furnished with mantra bala

· 1:33:31–1:34:00

Given the present state of things, he says, it is necessary that people be as awake as possible. And if you are not furnished with mantra bala, you will be able to do nothing. It is by the samarthya of the mantra alone that buddhi and vivek work at such a level that you can make your preparations subtly — of which, he says, many examples are available in history.

176

The intellectual class asks where the siddhas and tantriks were during the invasions

The objection of the intellectual class about the British and the invaders

· 1:34:01–1:34:30

He says one more thing before ending the live: in many places you will find people of the intellectual class saying that if there are devi-devatas, or if there used to be some siddha and capable person, then where were these tantric people at the time of the British and when the invaders attacked — and, of today's events too, where were these people, why did they not come and save, why did they not protect.

177

The timeline never held a direct attack; compassion was exploited from the start

Never a direct attack; compassion exploited from the start

· 1:34:31–1:34:47

The whole timeline, he says, was never such that an attack occurred directly and the tantriks were unable to perform their prayoga — not at all. As he had said at the beginning, there is a thing called karuna and daya within Hindus, and it is exactly this that has been taken full advantage of from the start.

178

Virachari sadhaks and the kings of the time broke the invasions on the strength of their siddhis

Virachari sadhaks and kings broke them with their siddhis

· 1:34:48–1:35:04

The first attacks were never direct, he says: read history, and when an invasion occurred, the Virachara sadhaks of that time and the kings and maharajas, on the strength of the kind of siddhis they had obtained, broke the backs of these people.

179

After such defeats they sent their own scholars to learn, and traitors here assisted them

They sent their own scholars to learn, and traitors here helped them

· 1:35:05–1:35:44

When such a defeat came to them, he says, these people would analyse: what is this thing? And it would emerge that there are siddhas there, people of this kind, siddhis of this kind. Then the same tragedy would follow: first they would send, with folded hands, their own learned men, those of their own who were of that sort; those people would learn all the things; after learning they would go and prepare it there. And the traitors here, the wicked people of that kind here, would then go over and give them support.

180

Why does destruction take more energy than protection?

Destruction takes many times the energy of protection

· 1:35:45–1:36:31 · Also a question

Because, he says, at whatever level of consciousness the one who creates and protects lives, the samarthya of the one who destroys is many times greater — samarthya meaning that it moves together with buddhi. At whatever level you can think for protection, he thinks many times more for destruction. The energy required for the destruction of a thing is many times that required for its protection. The destroyer projects his things without thinking that only so much damage will be done when we act; whereas the protector has to think that my samarthya is only this much, we will only be able to do this much — how shall we do more?

181

How much protection do five or ten malas a day give a family?

One sadhak's ten malas cannot cover a household of five or seven

· 1:36:32–1:36:54 · Also a question

When you analyse all this, he says, you will understand how deception has kept being done with you. It is the same today: if one person in your family is doing sadhana, a japa of ten malas or five malas a day, and there are seven members in your family, or five — then when a tantric prayoga occurs, five or six of them are bound to be broken. How many people, he asks, will a japa of ten malas protect?

182

Once the family's one sadhak is occupied elsewhere, the tantric gets his chance

The tantric gets his chance

· 1:36:55–1:37:10

And within that, he says, the sadhak's marriage takes place and the sadhak becomes engaged with his wife in a different sadhana. The story ends there. The tantric has got his chance and will perform his own sadhana. If you will not do it with your wife, he will do it with your family — and after that you may keep weeping.

183

What is the relation between tapobala and effect?

The less the tapobala, the less the effect

· 1:37:32–1:37:52 · Also a question

Nothing will come of a thousand or two thousand, he says again and again. In whatever matter you are encouraged, however little the tapobala remains, that much less will its effect be.

If you keep encouraging yourself, nothing will come of a thousand or two thousand, the speaker says — he is saying it again and again. In whatever matter you become encouraged, however little the tapobala remains, that much less will its effect be.

184

Searching always for the comfort zone, comfort will one day take away the things that give it

Comfort will one day take away the things that give comfort

· 1:37:53–1:38:13

Leaving laziness and comfort, he says, remain on the path of sadhana; do more and more, and you will get the effect of things. If you keep searching always for the comfort zone, then the comfort zone will one day give you such comfort that the very things by which you obtain comfort will not remain with you.

185

Messages arrive asking how to work a prayoga on the strength of a thousand japa

Messages asking for a prayoga after a thousand japa

· 1:38:14–1:38:29

Remember, he says, those people who are accomplishing siddhi in a thousand or two thousand. People send messages saying, we have done a thousand japa, how shall we do a prayoga — it is to them that he is speaking. One has to speak with much deliberation, he adds, or people will straightaway attach it to somebody, saying he said it to this one or that one; use your own buddhi and vivek.

186

When the one member who did japa becomes occupied elsewhere, no energy is left for the family

When the one who did japa is involved elsewhere, nothing remains

· 1:38:30–1:38:45

When the members inside a family are simply not prepared, he says, and the one member who used to do japa and tapa has for some reason now become involved somewhere else — then what energy is left there for your protection, for the family? From where will the protection come?

187

My eating does not fill your stomach — the complaining member must take up a mala himself

My eating does not fill your stomach — take a mala yourself

· 1:38:46–1:39:35

Learn to stand your family up along with yourself, he says. When family members are struck they begin weeping that this has happened to me, and when all goes well for them they have no concern with the devi-devatas. When such people say, we were doing so much puja, why has this happened to us — then, he says, give them two slaps and say: we eat food; you stop eating, and see how much strength you get from my eating. If you want protection for yourself, sit with a mala yourself and do it.

188

Men who have their clothes washed by mothers and sisters end up Lakshmi-less, however rich now

Such men end up Lakshmi-less, however rich they are now

· 1:39:36–1:39:57

He says he sees many in this condition, having their clothes washed by their sisters while the mothers wash the clothes; and that some are of so low a disposition that they have even their undergarments washed by their sisters. People who commit such misdeeds, he says, are like the mlecchas, and one day they are left without Lakshmi, however rich they may be now.

189

From what age should a child wash his own clothes?

From eight or nine years, and it is not only a girl's duty

· 1:39:58–1:40:16 · Also a question

When a child becomes eight or nine years old, he says, teach him fully to wash his own clothes himself. It is not only the duty of girls that a girl, being a girl, should wash everything, that the sister will wash — the brother will wash, the brother will wash his own, and the sister will do her own.

190

No one should wash another's undergarments, machine or no machine

No one should wash another's, machine or no machine

· 1:40:17–1:40:31

If you do not wash your own clothes yourself and your mother is washing them — a washing machine is a separate matter, he grants — but as for what is washed by hand, and even in a washing machine, no one should wash another's undergarments. Each should wash his own with his own hand and keep his own things.

191

Taking service from the mother you should be serving attaches a dosha that must be undergone heavily

Taking service from the mother you should be serving

· 1:40:32–1:41:04

Such a dosha attaches, he says: understand at any time what you are doing, at what level you are doing a debased act, having your sister do it. It has to be undergone heavily. You are having your clothes washed by your mother — where you ought to be doing her seva, in place of that you are taking seva from her. Does shame never come? And you expect that our kalyan should occur: from where will kalyan come?

192

What must come before expecting improvement?

First correct your own life

· 1:41:05–1:41:23 · Also a question

First make an improvement in your own life, he says. Only then will there be some chance of the things you hope for in your life — that this should turn out well, that that should turn out well — actually happening.

193

They were calling during your good phase, and you gave it no importance then

They were calling then, and you did not see them

· 1:41:24–1:41:51

Why? Because when the time was good, when you were full of wealth and grain, when everything was going well in your kula parampara and family — at that very time you gave these things no importance. At that time these people were crying out: ask after us, we too are hungry and thirsty, your duty stands towards us as well. At that time it was not visible to you. When that karma of yours was completed and that phase passed, now you are undergoing it.

194

Why can a person not simply become capable of helping their pitrs now?

The sukshma sharir must become shubhra before one's puja properly reaches the pitrs

· 1:41:52–1:42:35 · Also a question

The first thing, he says, is that it will simply not be possible — because so long as your Sukshma Sharir does not become completely shubhra, the puja you perform will not properly reach them at all. For it to become shubhra, your prarabdha must be cut. When the prarabdha is cut the tapobala will increase, the sukshma sharir will become shubhra, you will become capable; then when you perform the nyasa paddhati and process you will become deva-swaroop, and then they will begin to be nourished and will begin to do your kalyan.

195

One who has truly worshipped remains tript and could never say that nothing came of it

One who has truly worshipped remains tript and cannot say that

· 1:42:36–1:42:59

Whoever says that we worshipped so many years and nothing happened to us — know in truth, he says, that that person never worshipped at all. One who has performed puja will remain tript. He can never say that we did seva-puja for five years or ten years and obtained nothing. There is a satisfaction beyond material wealth in what you are doing now: in the deep daan you do, in the havan you do.

196

Swinging a bell and reading the Hanuman Chalisa over an agarbatti is what gets called puja

Ringing a bell and reading the Hanuman Chalisa with an agarbatti

· 1:43:00–1:43:20

What sort of puja will they have done, he asks — the puja of swinging a little bell; the puja of lighting an agarbatti and reading the Hanuman Chalisa. To this these people give the name of puja: having read the Hanuman Chalisa and rung the bell they do a very great favour, and say we read the Hanuman Chalisa for ten years and nothing happened to us.

197

Where puja and deep daan have truly been done, wrong intentions cannot arise in the mind at all

Wrong intentions cannot arise in the mind

· 1:43:21–1:43:37

If you have truly performed puja and seva, and if you have done Deepdaan, he says, then ill-will simply will not come into your mind. Wrong thoughts will not be able to arise at all — that is the very first thing that will happen here. But the money for deep daan has to go somewhere else, so the deep daan will not be done.

198

After a week of ten malas a day, the mantra runs within you at every moment by the eighth

By the eighth day the mantra runs within you at every moment

· 1:43:38–1:44:03

If you do japa of the mantras for even one week, ten malas each day, he says, then on the eighth day your condition will become such that that mantra of yours will begin to run within you at every moment. It will begin to give you delight, in complete peace. Before any wrong thought comes, it will come into your attention that we have done japa of the mantra, and this mantra is running.

199

A shakti seated within, a form of Jagadamba, is watching every thought as it forms

A shakti seated within, a form of Jagadamba, watching

· 1:44:04–1:44:20

You will see somewhere or other, he says, that this is watching. Within our own mind another shakti too is seated; this is a form of Jagadamba, and here we are about to entertain such a thought — this should not be done. That awareness will be there.

Somewhere or other you will see, the speaker says, that this is watching. Within our own mind another shakti too is seated; this is a form of Jagadamba, and here we are about to entertain such a thought — this ought not to be done. That awareness will be there.

200

Who remains satisfied whatever comes?

One who does purashcharana, havan, tarpana, marjana and seva

· 1:44:21–1:44:49 · Also a question

Those who repeatedly perform the purashcharana of the mantras, who do Havan, Tarpana and Marjana, who perform gau seva in the panchbali, who perform the seva of mother and father, who perform the seva of plants — their heart and their atma will both remain tript. Whether they obtain anything or not, even if someone abuses them four times and goes, they will remain in satisfaction; there will be no restlessness in their mind, their heart or their eyes, and by the samarthya of the mantra they will become calm.

201

Calm here means lava within and stillness outside, not cowardice or sweetness

Not cowardly or sweet — lava inside, calm outside

· 1:44:50–1:45:08

Calm, he says, does not mean that he will become a coward and turn sweet. The one possessed of samarthya will remain calm: there is turmoil within him, but he is calm; on need arising, the flame is about to burst out. Inside there is fire, there is lava, completely. This, he says, is the samarthya and capacity of the mantras.

202

Even after ten years without material gain, such a sadhak knows the grade of attainment within him

A sadhak of that samarthya knows the grade of attainment within him, even without material gain

· 1:45:09–1:45:21

For this very reason, he says, even if after ten years he obtains no material achievement, he knows what grade of achievement is within him.

And for exactly this reason, the speaker says, even if after ten years he obtains no material achievement, he knows what grade of achievement is within him.

203

Many sadhaks never spend their tapobala, refusing to make a sankalp and expend it

They refuse to make a sankalp and expend it

· 1:45:22–1:45:44

Many times, he says, people do not spend their tapobala at all — you will find many such examples when you go inside this field. They could have done a great deal by their tapobala had they wished, but they simply do not make a sankalp and expend the tapobala. They say: whether she gives it or does not give it is her wish; we will only do this.

204

A sadhana for a good wife is entirely permissible, and applying the Devi Pranava is right

Doing it for a good wife, and adding the Devi Pranava

· 1:46:57–1:47:20

Reading a listener's comment, he says: absolutely do it, brother, for a good wife — there is no difficulty in this. And to another he says that applying the Devi Pranava is right as they have said; it can be done in that way.

Answering comments, the speaker replies to a listener about doing this for a good wife: absolutely do it, brother, for a good wife. There is no difficulty in this. And on the Devi Pranava, he tells the listener that in applying it they are speaking rightly — it can be done in that way.

205

When Chandi moves, nothing is able to stand before her vega

When Chandi moves, nothing stands before her vega

· 1:47:59–1:48:14

When Chandi moves, he says, no one is then able to stand before her vega. Bring that; bring that velocity. Nothing will be accomplished by playing this theatrical game — those who wish to set up a darbar and do all that theatre should leave this channel; he will not speak to them.

206

How does one actually call Chandi within oneself?

More japa, initiation, nyasa vidhi — or the authorised mantras

· 1:48:15–1:48:36 · Also a question

If you truly want to call Chandi within you, he says, then understand the samarthya of the mantras: do more and more japa, become initiated, learn the nyasa vidhi and perform it. And if no guru is to be found, then by doing the authorised mantras — Jayanti Mangala and the rest, Saptakshari, Panchakshari — again and again and again, make your body wholly deva-maya.

207

The body is made deva-maya so that on the day of need whichever deity is near may come and be present

On the day of need, whichever deity is near may come and be present

· 1:48:37–1:49:04

So that on the day the need arises, he says, whichever deity is present nearby may come. If Bhairav is to be present in your body, let it happen; if Narasimha is to come into your body, let him come and tear open such vidharmis. That samarthya, he says, is what the energy of the mantra alone will make in you.

208

You are not the one who should have to escape — the samarthya within should make that unnecessary

You are not the one who should have to escape

· 1:49:05–1:49:18

Reading out a comment that we do not need to do a kavach in order to escape from mlecchas, he says: remember one thing from today. Escape from whom? The samarthya within you should be such that they have to escape from you.

Our pandit ji says we do not have to do a kavach in order to escape from the mlecchas, the speaker reads out. One more matter, and remember it from today, all of you, he says. Escape from whom? The samarthya within you should be so much that they have to escape from you.

209

How much purashcharana of the Kamakhya Kavach is prescribed?

Until the presence of the ten Mahavidyas in the body is complete

· 1:49:19–1:49:39 · Also a question

Let Chandika be manifest within you at that time, he says. Do so much purashcharana of the Kamakhya Kavach, so much purashcharana, that the presence of the ten Mahavidyas which is in your body in a subtle form should be complete. On the day some mleccha stands with the intention of doing you harm, let Chandika manifest within you that same instant — let him tremble on seeing you, let him be stambhit on seeing you.

210

The Bagla Pratyangira paath is written to give the capacity to stambhit even the wind

The reciter obtains the capacity to stambhit even the wind

· 1:49:40–1:49:51

It is written in Bagla Pratyangira, he says, that one who performs its paath obtains the capacity to stambhit even the wind. But if you set about doing it straight away there will be trouble — which is why, he says, he tells people to become fit to that level first, and then the devi-devatas will themselves make a way.

211

Panchakshari japa continues meanwhile, its full vidhi being in a separate video

Keep doing Panchakshari — the full vidhi is in a separate video

· 1:49:52–1:50:04

Keep doing japa of Panchakshari, he says. You are getting nothing — do Panchakshari. The whole proper subject of Panchakshari has been told several times on the channel; there is a separate video, a short video of it and a full video, everything. Do it.

212

When may one take up the prayogic side and the Mahavidya forms?

After becoming fit, once Bhagavati gives the way, and after initiation

· 1:50:05–1:50:21 · Also a question

After that, he says, when you become fit and Bhagavati gives you the way, if you keep doing that too then a great deal will come about. Then do the prayogic things and the forms of the Mahavidyass, having become initiated. It will happen; it will certainly happen; everything will happen — accept this, he says.

213

The need to escape will fall on him, not on you

You will not need to escape at all

· 1:50:22–1:50:43

The need will not fall upon you, he says: when you perform sadhana of this kind, the need to escape will fall upon him — take it as settled. You do not have to escape; how did you come to say that you have to escape? The samarthya within you will be such that on seeing you he will wet his trousers. He then closes, saying let us meet again.
