Rudragana sadhana as the quick-fruit practice for those with no time for long anushthans
One wish, fulfilled very soon
The speaker says not everyone has time for long sadhanas and anushthans, so he always tells people to get the Rudragana sadhana done and kept. In his view it gives results very fast — almost everyone who does it with one wish sees that wish fulfilled very soon.
The speaker opens by saying that today's experiences relate to the Rudragana sadhana. In life, he says, not everyone has much time for long sadhanas and AnushthanaAn extended ritual observance — such as 108 recitations of a scripture — carrying its own strict rules.s. For such people he always says, in his live videos too, that every person should get the Rudragana sadhana done and keep it done. The reason, he says, is that it is a sadhana that gives fruit very quickly. In his view, of all the people who do this sadhana with one particular wish, that wish is almost always fulfilled, and very soon. The experiences he is about to share are of SadhakOne who undertakes a sadhana; the practitioner as distinct from the ordinary worshipper.s who gave permission for their experiences to be told, and he says he will tell three such experiences in this one video.
Two traps of a new sadhak who starts getting experiences: telling people, and hunting for divya drishti
The wrong person can take away even what you have
The speaker says that whenever someone new enters the sadhana path and begins to get experiences, two things happen: he starts telling people about his dreams and experiences, and he goes to "knowers" asking how to increase them — how to see with open eyes what he sees with closed eyes, how to open the third eye and talk to deities. He says this hurry brings many unpleasant things into people's lives, because if you land with the wrong person, even what you already have will be taken away.
Before the first story, the speaker describes a pattern he says he has always seen. Whenever a person newly enters the sadhana path and begins to receive experiences, two things happen in his life. First, if the person is new and does not know everything, he starts telling people about his experiences — that he gets such-and-such dreams, such-and-such experiences. Second, there is another kind of person who starts going to meet other "knowers", asking how to increase this: what I can see with closed eyes, how do I see it with open eyes? People are in a great hurry, he says, to gain divine sight, to open the third eye, to have the eye open so they can see everything, see the deity and talk with him. It is because of this hurry, the speaker says, that many unpleasant things start happening in people's lives — because if you end up with the wrong person, even what you already have will go away. He says something exactly like this happened to the SadhakOne who undertakes a sadhana; the practitioner as distinct from the ordinary worshipper. of the first story.
Case: a kul-shakti bandhan lifted after a gana appeared during Rudragana sadhana
A village sadhak's bandhan, a langot-clad figure at the door, the deity's return
The speaker tells of a good Sadhak whose Kul Shakti, a fierce and awakened deity, had full grace on him until a sadhak of his own village, learning of it, performed kriyas and did a Bandhan on that shakti or his body, so that the deity stopped coming and no sadhana gave a full result. While doing the Rudragana sadhana, he saw near his door — probably in tandra, the speaker adds — a figure in only a Langot with chimta and kamandal and long loose hair, who vanished as fast as he came, leaving every hair standing. The very next day the deity's sawari came upon him again and told who had done the bandhan, how, which Utara to do, and what to do for his brother's illness; around then the bandhan and the troubles ended.
The first experience, the speaker says, is of a very good SadhakOne who undertakes a sadhana; the practitioner as distinct from the ordinary worshipper. who does sadhanas and on whom the shakti of his kul had full grace. Someone from his own village — a sadhak who came to know that his Kul Shakti came upon him, and that it was a very fierce, very awakened deity — performed certain kriyas and did such a Bandhan of that shakti, or of his body, that the deity stopped coming upon him altogether. After that he had no experiences. He tried many sadhanas, but got no positive result from them — what should have happened was not happening. Something would happen for a short while, and it would seem the sadhana had some effect, but fully speaking he had in a way fallen into a bandhan. The speaker now tells what happened when the first SadhakOne who undertakes a sadhana; the practitioner as distinct from the ordinary worshipper. did the Rudragana sadhana. While he was doing it, near his door he saw, as if directly — though the speaker says he wants to state it was probably a state of tandra, a half-sleep — a person standing there wearing only a langot, holding a chimta and a kamandal, with long, loose hair. He stared for as long as he could without blinking. Anyone in sadhana who suddenly sees someone standing there will be frightened, the speaker notes. After a while the figure vanished — came with great speed and went. This was his first experience, and a very intense one: his whole condition was shaken, every hair on his body stood up, and even the slight tiredness in his body was gone, wondering who had suddenly appeared. The very next day, the speaker says, his deity's sawari — the Kul Shakti coming upon him — began again. On coming, the deity told him everything, one thing at a time: who had done the Bandhan, how it had been done, and which Utara was to be performed. His brother had been unwell, and the deity told him what that was and what was to be done for it. Around that same time, the speaker says, all these things ended — the bandhan was finished, and the troubles were finished by the deity too.
Rudragana sadhana is not effective in a total lunar or solar eclipse
Partial, penumbral, or an eclipse whose sutak is not observed locally
The speaker states one rule of the Rudragana sadhana: it is never effective when there is a total lunar eclipse or a total solar eclipse. It is done in a partial lunar eclipse, a penumbral lunar eclipse, or an eclipse visible elsewhere in the world but whose sutak is not observed in your own region. He says such sadhanas come traditionally through guru parampara, and that the simplest vidhan is on his channel in two videos, one on the Chandra Shiva eclipse practice and one on Rudragana.
The speaker gives one rule of the Rudragana sadhana: whenever there is a total lunar eclipse or a total solar eclipse, the sadhana is not effective. It is meant for a partial lunar Grahan, a penumbral lunar grahan, or an eclipse that can be seen elsewhere in the world but whose Sutak period is not observed in the region where you live. Sadhanas of this kind, he says, come to you in the traditional way, through guru parampara. Their simplest vidhan, he adds, he has put on his channel: there are two videos, one called Chandra Shiva for the lunar eclipse and the other on Rudragana. Listening to both, he says, gives the full vidhan — what the benefit is and how it is to be done.
A Ramcharitmanas chaupai as the mantra of Rudragana sadhana
Hari and Hara complete each other, so both graces come
The speaker says that in Goswami Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas many verses are mantras — every chaupai, everything written in it, is a mantra — and one of these is what is used in this sadhana. Since Narayana ever worships Sadashiva and Sadashiva ever remembers Narayana, Hari and Hara complete each other, and so this sadhana brings the grace of both.
The speaker says that in the Ramcharitmanas composed by Goswami Tulsidas, a great many verses are mantras — if one were to say it plainly, every chaupai, everything written in it, is a mantra. It is one of these that is used, in a way, in this sadhana. He explains the basis: Bhagavan Shri Narayana is ever worshipping Bhagavan Sadashiva, and Bhagavan Sadashiva is ever remembering Shri Narayana. Hari and Hara complete each other. This sadhana, he says, has the same kind of effect — the grace of both Narayana and Sadashiva is obtained in it.
Why should a house not be built near a Shiva temple?
The 100-dhanush gana zone around a Shivling
The speaker says that around any Jyotirlinga or Shivling established in a temple, the circle drawn with a radius of 100 dhanush is the realm of Shiva's ganas, who dwell in different parts of it. That is why it is said a house should not be built near a Shiva temple — and in fact this applies to all temples: a house should not be built as far as the temple's shadow falls. Today, he notes, temples come up anywhere with houses right beside them; whether those households are happy or unhappy is a separate discussion for another day.
The speaker says one should know this: whenever we do the sadhana of Shiva, worship Mahadev, then wherever Mahadev's Jyotirlinga — or say ShivlingThe aniconic form of Lord Shiva worshipped at home and in temples. — is established in your area, in a temple, the full circle drawn from that spot with a radius of 100 dhanush is the realm of the Shiva Ganas. There, Shiva's various ganas dwell in different parts of that area. That is why, he says, it is said that a house should not be built around a Shiva temple. In fact this applies to all temples: a house should not be built as far as the temple's shadow falls. These have been the reasons behind that rule. In today's time, he observes, a temple comes up anywhere, with houses right beside it and the temple's shadow falling on them — 100 dhanush is another matter entirely; so many houses fall within 100 dhanush. Whether some of those households are happy and others unhappy is a separate matter, he says, to be discussed fully some other time. Today he is only explaining how these things give their effect.
Rudra's ganas are the most active shaktis in mrityuloka, so Rudragana sadhana fructifies fast
No temple exists without Shiva, so they are everywhere
The speaker says that when you do the Rudragana sadhana in a Mahadev temple exactly as directed, the ganas there respond — and if any forces are the most active in this mortal world, they are the ganas of Rudra. They can be present anywhere, nothing bars them from any place, and since no temple exists without Shiva, they are present in every temple. That is why their grace comes with great intensity whenever you do the sadhana.
The speaker turns to why the Rudragana sadhana fructifies so quickly. Whenever you do the Rudragana sadhana in a Mahadev temple, doing it exactly as the directions are given, then the Ganas who are there respond — and if one were to say which forces are the most active in this mrityuloka, the mortal world, it is the ganas of Rudra. That is because Rudra's ganas can be present in every place; there is no place that bars them. They are in every temple, because there is no temple at all without Shiva — so their presence is everywhere, without fail. For that reason, he says, whenever you do the sadhana, their grace is obtained with great intensity.
How long Rudragana sadhana is continued and when it is begun
First at an eclipse; then 11, 21 or 27 days from a masik Shivratri
The speaker says that when no path is visible and big sadhanas are beyond one's means, one should continue this sadhana: begin it on a masik Shivratri and keep going until the desired fruit comes, doing at least 11, 21 or 27 days. It is a one-day sadhana; the first time, do it during a partial or penumbral lunar eclipse — or a partial solar eclipse if time is short, though the lunar eclipse is the most effective. After that, whenever there is a need in life, take it up again as an 11, 21 or 27-day sadhana. As the second experience he cites a sadhak of his own circle who had used the prayog about twice: his job had gone, he restarted this sadhana, and he got a job again — a better one than before.
Introducing the second experience — a job case from his own sadhak family, someone who has used this Prayoga about twice — the speaker lays out how the sadhana is continued. He says that whenever no path is visible, when it seems one cannot manage the big sadhanas, one should continue this sadhana: begin from a masik Shivratri and keep doing it until the desired fruit is obtained. At the very least, do 11 days, 21 days or 27 days. It is a one-day sadhana. The first time you ever do it, do it when there is a partial lunar Grahan or a penumbral eclipse; a partial solar eclipse also works. Although, he notes, he said in the earlier video that it is most effective in a lunar eclipse — so try for that — if time is short and a solar eclipse is coming up, it will do, and it will work in that too. So do it the first time that way, he says, and afterwards, whenever a need arises in life, take up the same things as an 11, 21 or 27-day sadhana. He states his full faith that by the grace of Mahadev and Narayana, the ganas of Rudra will fulfil every work for which one has taken a sankalp. This, he says, is the second experience: that sadhak's job had gone; he started this sadhana again and got a job once more — a better job than the one before.
One sankalp per Rudragana sadhana, and it must be in keeping with dharma
Spiritual progress or a material wish, not both
The speaker says the Rudragana sadhana is done with only one Sankalpa — either for spiritual progress or for a material wish, not a list. He is fully confident that Rudra's ganas, by the grace of Mahadev and Narayana, will complete whatever work is taken up with one sankalp; if the sankalp is dharma-yukta, in keeping with dharma, it fructifies at once — you have to be in the right, he says, and then it happens.
The speaker says he is fully confident that the ganas of Bhagavan Rudra, by the grace of Mahadev and by the grace of Bhagavan Narayana, will complete every work of yours that you take up with one SankalpaA formal ritual resolution spoken aloud before an offering or observance, declaring its intent and dedicating its merit.. In this sadhana, he says, only one sankalp is taken. Either take a sankalp for spiritual progress, or one for material wishes. If your sankalps are dharma-yukta, in keeping with dharma, they will fructify immediately — you have to be in the right, and then it will happen.
Case: three job offers the day after a 27-day Rudragana sankalp that saw seven rejections
Morale tested during the sadhana, fruit the morning after it ends
The speaker tells of a friend, himself a Sadhak, whose age was passing without a job and who could not afford a big sadhana with Havan; the speaker suggested the Rudragana sadhana. He did it at two eclipses and then with a 27-day sankalp, during which he was called to seven interviews, going every other day, and rejected at all of them — the speaker asks how far such a result can break a sadhak's Mano-bala — yet he said he would complete what he had taken up. The day after it ended he phoned three times: at 11:30, one of the places that had refused him asked him to join; at 2:00, the firm that had rejected him for lacking experience offered a higher package; at 6:30, the most reputed firm offered 5.5 to 6 lakh, a company flat and a direct officer-rank post, the interviewer explaining that he alone had satisfied him in his own field, and apologising for having insulted him at the interview.
The third experience, which the speaker calls the most tremendous, also concerns a job. This SadhakOne who undertakes a sadhana; the practitioner as distinct from the ordinary worshipper. is a friend of his, with good knowledge of the sadhana field, who keeps doing sadhanas. He had said: my age is passing and I am not getting a job; if even a private job came, at least the stamp of being unemployed would go. The speaker had suggested that he do the Rudragana sadhana itself — it is easy, and the friend himself had said his financial position was not such that he could take up a big sadhana with Havan and the like. So he began the Rudragana sadhana and did it at two eclipses. The third time, as the speaker had advised, he did it with a 27-day sankalp. During those 27 days, he reports, he got calls for interviews from about seven places; every second day he had to go and give an interview, giving them during the sadhana period itself. He gave seven interviews and was not selected anywhere — rejected at every place. The speaker asks the listener to imagine how far a sadhak's morale can break when, after doing sadhana, every place he interviews flatly refuses him and demoralises him: we are working so hard, working in our own field, serving and worshipping God, doing sadhana too, and on top of that no fruit at all. But the friend said that now that he had taken it up, he would complete it, and after that they would see what happens. On the day after his sadhana was completed, the speaker says, the friend phoned him at about 11:30 in the day. He said: the sadhana finished yesterday, and though every place had refused me, one of those places has now called and told me to join — the package is decent enough, it will do; at least the stamp of unemployment is off my head, and they want a quick joining. The speaker told him this was very good, that his hard work had borne fruit, that Jagdamba's grace had come and the Rudraganas were with him — start, and there will be progress somewhere ahead. Around 2:00 he phoned again, saying this was a miracle: one place where he had interviewed had flatly refused him, saying he had no experience and they had no room for freshers — and now those people were calling him and giving him the job, at a higher package than the first. The speaker said this was even better, and they agreed he should join that one, since it was a fairly big firm with a better package. At 6:30 in the evening he phoned a third time, saying it was tremendous, that such a thing could never happen, that he himself could not believe it. The most reputed firm of them all had called: a package of 5.5 to 6 lakh, a flat allotted by the company, and a direct entry at officer rank. He had no experience, but the reason given was that the man who had interviewed him had asked questions in exactly the field in which this friend was an expert, and the friend had fully satisfied him; that interviewer was leaving after resigning, which was why he was interviewing. The experienced candidates perhaps had not had as much knowledge in that field or had not measured up in their interviews, while this friend had convinced him — but had been held back for lack of experience. The interviewer said his notice period had two months left: join, you will get everything, and in two months I will set you up in the subject; later there will be others to support you, so please join. The speaker adds the biggest thing the interviewer said. At an interview, if one is very confident and the interviewer's ego is hurt, he will somewhere put you down — and since the friend had answered every question and said some things in over-confidence, the interviewer had felt bad that day and had insulted him. For that he apologised on the phone, saying it was not professional of him to have spoken so, and asked him please to come and join the firm so that he could leave and hand things over properly.
Lesson of the Rudragana experiences: when no path is visible, the chaupai before Sadashiva brings the ganas' help
A sadhana never grows old; do it until the job comes
The speaker draws the lesson: if no path is visible in life, one is about to sink and there is no money for big sadhanas, then taking only the support of this Ramcharitmanas chaupai and praying before Sadashiva with this vidhi-vidhan, his Ganas will surely come to help and do whatever brings one's good — his faith in this became firm. He adds that a sadhana never grows old and its method never changes, even 10 or 15 years after the video; a listener in a job-related situation should do this sadhana until the job comes. When a job comes by the grace of Bhagavati and Rudra, the parents bless from the heart and the house deities and Pitr are satisfied by one's own earnings. If you are breaking, take refuge once, with faith, in those who give refuge to the whole world — a way will surely come.
When the friend told him all this, the speaker says he does not know when the listener is hearing this video or what the circumstances of their life are — but after hearing this experience his own motivation rose very high toward the Ganas of Rudra, toward Bhagavan Mahadev and toward Bhagavan Narayana. The conviction, he says, is this: if somewhere in life no path can be seen, if the situation has come to the point of sinking, if we do not have much wealth or money with which to do big sadhanas — then if we take the support of just this chaupai of the Ramcharitmanas, go before Bhagavan Sadashiva and pray with this vidhi-vidhan, his ganas will surely come forward to help us, and whatever way our good can be done, they will surely do it. Seeing the friend's life experience, the speaker says, his faith in this became firm. Closing, the speaker says this video can never become old, nor can its importance ever lessen. Even if someone is watching it 10 or 15 years after it was uploaded to YouTube, and such a situation has arisen in their life, they should remember that a sadhana can never grow old and its method will never change. The vidhi-vidhan of both sadhanas, he says, is linked in the description, to be done according to place, time and circumstance. If the listener is in a job-related situation, he says, do this sadhana until you get a job — do it with faith and see. Whatever the condition of your home has been, when a job comes by the grace of Bhagavati and of Rudra, and because of that job some money comes into the house, your parents will be pleased and blessings will come from their hearts; you will give thanks somewhere. The deities of the house and the Pitrs will be satisfied by your own earned money. Some share of all those blessings, he says, will reach those who shared their experiences in this video, and him too, since all of them become a means for happiness to come to your home. So this can never grow old. Take a lesson from it, he says: if you are breaking, then with faith, once surrender to those who give refuge to the whole world — a way will certainly come out. He ends by hoping the video benefits everyone and by praying to Mahadev that whatever dharma-sangat wish one has, Mahadev and his ganas fulfil it.
