How a marana prayoga showed itself in one family: voices, blood splatters, madness and two deaths
The Jharkhand case, from first sign to breaking point
The speaker recounts a true case from a village near Dhanbad, Jharkhand, where a very intense Marana Prayoga was worked on a prosperous family of three brothers. For about three years there were night-time voices calling from inside the house, which the family ignored as they did only ordinary puja; then the eldest brother began going mad, local healers gave relief that lasted only two or three months, the middle brother fell ill the same way, voices came every second or third day in family members' own voices, and blood splatters appeared on walls and near the main Chaukhat. A tantrik worked at the house at great expense and things stayed fine for four or five months; then, near Holika Dahan, the eldest died on the spot in an accident and the middle brother died in another accident within ten days, before the shraddha was even complete. After that the surviving brother's wife could not put her swollen right foot on the ground though doctors found nothing, and the two dead brothers' voices began calling. Because the family was wealthy, he says, it had many enemies and no idea whom to suspect.
The speaker says this true case, from a village near Dhanbad in Jharkhand, concerns a family on whom a most intense Marana Prayoga had been worked, affecting the whole household. It was about a year before the recording (November 2022); the family reached him by phone through a calling app between Diwali and Bhairav Ashtami. There were three brothers, all married with children, and the two elder ones had died suddenly that same year, leaving old parents, two widows and the children. After such a thing, he says, any family's mental strength breaks. Asked what the trouble had been, they told him that for about three years, at night, it kept seeming that someone was calling and a voice could be heard. Ordinary people, he notes, do not pay attention to such things until they are actually troubled; the family did only ordinary puja, a daily Hanuman Chalisa, nothing special, and gave it little weight. Then health began to fail. The eldest brother, of a family with plenty of land and property and no quarrels among the brothers, drifted toward a deranged state: he would sit and weep, saying meaningless things like "you will all separate one day" or "we will die". The elders grew suspicious and had him seen by local people; things improved, but after two or three months it started again, and after some time the middle brother went the same way. Within a year or a year and a half, the calling voice came almost every second or third day, in the voice of one or another family member. The biggest thing, they told him, was that blood splatters began to be found in the house, on the walls, sometimes around the main Chaukhat; whether it was really blood they could not say, but it left the mark thrown blood would leave. A tantrik was brought to the house, did many kriyas, and a lot of money was spent; for four or five months the family was fine and both brothers recovered. Then, around Holi, near Holika Dahan (the speaker does not remember the exact year), the eldest brother died on the spot in an accident, and within ten days, before his shraddha rites were even finished, the middle brother also died, also in an accident. The family broke. The surviving brother's wife developed a problem walking: she said she could not set her right foot on the ground at all, it was completely swollen, and the best doctors found nothing wrong. Now the voices of the two dead brothers came every second or third day, calling. It was clear something was wrong, the speaker says, but wherever they showed it no one could make it out; and because the family was prosperous it had many enemies, so there was no telling whom to suspect.
Why the afflicted family must do the remedy themselves: outside help lasts only a while
A tantrik's help ends; then you are alone
The speaker says that when the family contacted him, with Bhairav Ashtami approaching, he gave them the Maha Bhairav mantra procedure and told them to do it themselves. His reason: however much a tantrik, an energy worker or a guni helps you, he helps only for a fixed time, after which you are left alone and the trouble returns. The man had already suffered enough, he says, and the rest of the family had to be saved.
The speaker says the family reached him when Bhairav Ashtami was about to come. He told them the vidhi of the Maha Bhairav mantra and said: do this yourself. His reasoning is a general rule: look, a tantrik, someone with energy, a guni, however much he helps you, will help you only up to a fixed time. After that you are left alone again and the trouble is yours. In this case the man had already been tormented and had seen so much; now the rest of the family had to be saved. So they accepted this and began doing the practice themselves.
First step against the marana prayoga: Maha Bhairav mantra, 21 malas a day for 21 days at a Shiva temple
A beginner working up from one mala
The speaker says he told the man to do 21 Mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra every day in a Shiva temple. He was no great sadhak but a complete beginner, so he started with one or two malas, slowly, since the mantra is fairly long and takes time; being a hardy village man used to sitting, he managed. The first full round of 21 malas for 21 days was done in the Shiva temple with a lamp kept lit. The result, the speaker says, was that peace came to his body and he said he had gained great strength and felt "we can fight this", and asked what to do next.
The speaker says the first instruction was to do 21 Mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra daily in a Shiva temple. The man was not a big sadhak; he was entirely new. So at the start he began with one or two malas, very gently, because the mantra is somewhat long and took a good amount of time. Being a village man, tough, and used to sitting, he had no difficulty. Then, for the first time, 21 malas a day for 21 days were completed in the Shiva temple, with a lamp kept burning while he did it. Somewhere in his body, the speaker says, peace came. The first thing he reported was: I have received a very great strength; it feels as if we will be able to fight. Now tell me what to do next.
Second step: Batuk Bhairav stotra five times each evening for 21 days, with a tantrokta Batuk Bhairav yantra
Batuk Bhairav's yantra, not Ashta Bhairav's
Once the 21-day mantra cycle was complete, the speaker says, he told the man to recite the Batuk Bhairava Stotra at least five times a day, in the evening, in the Shiva temple, for 21 days without a break, and to keep repeating this for at least two or three months; he gave him the Sankalpa. Along with it he had a Tantrokta Yantra of Batuk Bhairav made by the proper tantrokta procedure and sent to him with a tantrokta mala. He stresses that it must be Batuk Bhairav's yantra, not ashta-bhairav's. He says the stotra and its vidhan were not yet on his channel and would be posted after this account.
When the first cycle was complete, the speaker says, the next thing was the Batuk Bhairava StotraA hymn of praise to a deity, recitable without initiation, as distinct from a mantra which is not.. He notes he has not yet put it on the channel and will after this account, since he is explaining how so big a prayoga was pacified and destroyed. He told the man: again in the Shiva temple, do at least five recitations of the stotra every day, in the evening, for 21 days continuously, and repeat this over and over; keep doing it in the Shiva temple for at least two or three months. He told him the SankalpaA formal ritual resolution spoken aloud before an offering or observance, declaring its intent and dedicating its merit., and the man began. Along with this he had a TantroktaStated in the tantras, as against a vedokta form of the same rite or mantra. Yantra of Batuk Bhairav ji made, constructed with full vidhi-vidhan, by the tantrokta method, and sent it to him together with a tantrokta mala. The speaker adds a caution: keep in mind, it is Batuk Bhairav's tantrokta yantra, not ashta-bhairav's.
Daily practice with the yantra kept at the temple: a mala, five stotra recitations, a mala
Yantra installed beside Shiva, not taken home
The speaker says the daily routine he set was: at least one Mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra, then at least five recitations of the Batuk Bhairava Stotra, then one more mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra, with the whole of it offered to the Yantra. The yantra was to be installed beside Shiva in the temple, and everything dedicated to it there. It was not to be taken home; some arrangement was to be made in the temple so the yantra stayed there for the 21 days.
The speaker says he then told the man his daily work: do at least one Mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra; do at least five recitations of the Batuk Bhairava StotraA hymn of praise to a deity, recitable without initiation, as distinct from a mantra which is not.; then again do one mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra. And this Yantra, the whole of it, install near Shiva ji, and keep dedicating the practice to it. The yantra was not to be taken home. He told him: make some arrangement in the temple itself; the yantra will stay there for 21 days. The man began doing this.
When abhichar keeps breaking the anushthan: partial days still count, but finish one full 21-day cycle
Four to five months to complete what should take weeks
The speaker says the whole procedure took four or five months because the first Anushthana could not be completed: when things are wrong like this, the anushthan is not allowed to succeed, someone falls ill, the practitioner himself falls ill, something else comes up. The man understood his condition, did not give up and kept going slowly. It is not, the speaker says, that ten days of practice bring no fruit; they did. But one complete 21-day anushthan is very good, and when the 21-times cycle is once done, then it succeeds. In the end the 21-day cycles were completed at the Shiva temple.
The speaker says one should reckon that the whole set of procedures took four to five months, because at the first attempt the man's AnushthanaAn extended ritual observance — such as 108 recitations of a scripture — carrying its own strict rules. could not be completed. When things are disturbed like this, he says, the anushthan too is not allowed to succeed: sometimes a family member's health fails, sometimes the practitioner's own, sometimes something else. But the man understood his situation, did not accept defeat, and kept going little by little. And it was not the case, the speaker says, that if he had done ten days he would get no fruit; that fruit was received. Still, it is very good if one full anushthan of 21 days happens at least once; when the 21-times cycle is completed once, then it succeeds. So the 21-day cycles were completed before Shiva ji, and only after that did he move to the next steps.
After the temple cycles: nikari of the house, bandhan, Bhairav yantra installed, kavach for every member, daily dhooni and havan
Everything self-made and self-charged, step by step
The speaker says that once the 21-day cycles were complete at the temple, he taught the man how to do Nikasi (nikari) of the house himself, what to charge (abhimantrit) and how, and how to do Bandhan of the house. By that vidhan the house was bound and a Bhairav Yantra installed in the home. After the nikari, yantras made and charged by the man himself were put on every family member to wear as Kavach. Then the daily Dhooni for destroying abhichar, done with the stotra, was started in the house, and Havan too; each step was explained and done one by one, with much time and effort, and only then did the tantra's effect begin to lessen.
The speaker says that after the 21-day cycles were completed before Shiva ji, he told the man the method: how to do Nikasi (nikari) from the house, how to do it by himself, what to do with which item, what to make abhimantrit (charged), and how to bind the house. With this vidhi-vidhan he had the Bandhan of the house done and had the Bhairav Yantra installed in the home. After the nikari, he had yantras made by the man himself and charged by the man himself, and had each member of the household wear one as a Kavach. Then he had the daily DhooniA ritual fumigation performed by burning specific woods and seeds to disperse negative or black-magic energy from a home or space. prayoga that is done with this stotra for destroying abhichar started in the house, and had Havan done as well. Each single thing was explained and then done; a great deal of time was given and much hard work was put in. Only then, the speaker says, did the effect of that tantra begin to lessen in their house.
How long relief from a marana prayoga took: from Chaitra Poornima to a quiet house eight months later
Practice continues daily even after relief
The speaker says the effect faded gradually: relief began around March-April, the whole vidhan was complete around Chaitra Poornima, and by the end of November, eight to nine months on, no voice had been heard, no blood splatter had appeared, the wife's foot had no problem and no one else had any disturbance. The man still does the practice every morning and evening, and the other family members have been taught what to do, the Kavach and other recitations, and have all started. The family grew strong, understood, and is safe today by the grace of Batuk Bhairava, he says.
The speaker says that as the effect lessened, one should count that eight to nine months have now passed. From the last prayoga, relief started coming from March-April; take it as April. And around Chaitra Poornima all their vidhan had been completed. Now, with November about to end, no one's voice has come, no splatter of blood has appeared, the wife's foot is giving no trouble, and no other member has had any such disturbance. Nothing of that kind is happening. And the man still does the practice regularly, daily, morning and evening. The rest of the family have also been told a few things about what to do; they were all taught the Kavach and other recitations, how to do what, and everything was started for them. So the family became strong, the people understood, and today they have become safe by the grace of Lord Batuk Bhairava.
Why does the trouble get worse when you first start mantra japa against abhichar?
The prayoga suffers and fights back; do not lose patience
The speaker says that when the man first did the mantra Japa, his trouble increased: he could not sleep at night and felt someone pressing his throat. The speaker's explanation is that the Abhichara is very big, and when you do japa the prayoga suffers; it wants you not to do it, so to stop you it will strangle, frighten and threaten, whatever it can. His rule for anyone under a marana kriya or enemy tantra: do not do a thing for two or three days and drop it, do not get anxious, do not lose patience; keep doing it with patience, surrendered to your Ishta Devata, and success is certain.
The speaker addresses anyone in a similar state, under a marana kriya or tantra worked by enemies: do not do something once or twice, for two or three days, and leave it; do not get distressed; do not lose patience. He knows, he says, that the trouble increases. In this very case, the man told him: brother, the trouble is getting worse. When he first did the mantra Japa, his trouble grew; he could not sleep at night. Even though the speaker had not told him this would happen, the man reported that when he first did japa it got to the point that when he lay down at night it felt as though someone was pressing his throat. Of course there will be trouble, the speaker says. The Abhichara is very big, and you are coming back from doing mantra japa; when you do japa, that thing suffers. It will want the japa not to happen. Because your practice hurts it, to stop you it will press your throat, frighten you, threaten you, do whatever it can manage. That is why patience must not be lost. If you keep patience and do this surrendered to your Ishta Devata, he says, you will certainly get success in it.
Maha Bhairav mantra against abhichar: a Sabar mantra that must never be recited aloud
Unfailing against the strongest prayogas, on one condition
The speaker says the Maha Bhairav mantra, already given on his channel, is unfailing (akatya) especially for destroying Abhichara, for protection, for destroying enemies, and for destroying those who work the strongest of strong prayogas. But because it is a Sabar Mantra, it must never be recited by pronouncing it aloud, and never used by speaking it. It may be done at home, but never outside; and even at home not spoken so that household members hear it, because hearing it has an effect. Its Havan follows the havan procedure already on the channel; the full prayoga vidhi with the stotra was to be posted.
The speaker says the vidhan used here will soon go on the channel. The Maha Bhairav mantra is already given there; people doing it had been asking for its prayoga vidhi, and he will post the prayoga vidhi together with the full stotra. He states the mantra's scope: especially for the destruction of Abhichara, for protection, for the destruction of enemies, and for the destruction of those who work the strongest of the strong prayogas, this mantra is akatya, unfailing. Then the caution: because it is a Sabar Mantra, one must never do its recitation by pronouncing it aloud; all these points must be kept in mind, and he will state them again when the vidhan is posted. Nor is it ever to be used by speaking it out. You can do it at home, but never use it outside; and at home too, not spoken so that the members of the house hear, because hearing it will have an effect on them. Its Havan is done the way the havan vidhi already on the channel describes. In this case, he notes, the man had been given a great deal of time.
Timing of house bandhan after nikari: bind before the emptied house is re-entered
Twelve hours to twelve days before it returns
The speaker says that when the Bhairav Yantra was installed in the family's home, awakened and established as they had been taught, its effect cut away a great many things. He gives the rule behind it: when you do Nikasi (nikari) of a house, the house becomes empty; after that, reckon 24 hours, or 12 hours, or 12 hours to 12 days, and the thing comes back. Before it returns, the Bandhan of the house must be done, such a prayoga that negative shakti cannot enter the house again.
The speaker says that when the Bhairav Yantra was established in their home, in the way they awakened it and installed it, a great many things were cut off by its effect. He explains why the sequence matters. When you do Nikasi (nikari) from the house, the house becomes empty. After it is empty, count 24 hours, or count 12 hours; in 12 hours to 12 days that thing comes back again. Before it comes back the Bandhan of the house should already be done; such a prayoga should be in place that negative shakti cannot enter the house again. He closes by hoping the case teaches something to anyone troubled by this kind of tantra: do not accept defeat; losing is one thing, but do not give up; keep at it and you will surely come out of it, with the help of Bhagavati and Batuk Bhairava.
