Why Enemies Find It Easiest to Perform Tantra During Birth, Marriage, and Death

The speaker opens with the question: when there is Sutak-patak in the house or a mangalik work is about to happen, why is tantra most effective exactly then? There is a wedding in the house, and a tantra effect; you go and show or tell someone, and later it comes out that it was done at the time of the wedding. Or a child was born then, or someone died in that period. In fact, he says, it ought to be that when sutak-patak falls no tantra should have any special effect, but very often it is not so; the opposite happens. First, he says, whenever anyone envies you, he never wishes you well. And envious people who get tantra kriyas done by someone never care through what means, or stooping to what level, they are getting the prayoga done. Then the reason. Whenever a mangalik work is about to happen in a house, or sutak-patak falls, the kul Pitr of that house have somewhere arrived; their coming has taken place. Dev shaktis are present at a mangalik work, but when sutak-patak falls the dev shaktis somewhere withdraw from that place and remain apart, in a separate form. At that time it is the pitrs alone who, standing in place of the devas, carry the responsibility for everything. And pitrs, he says, can fairly easily be made impure through tantra vidya, through Kshudra Vidya. The envious person and the tantra-minded people who do such things know this. That is why, whenever such things are happening in a house, this is when it is done.

The speaker says that whenever a mangalik work happens, we call the Pitrs, and the pitrs are happy and pleased: today there is a wedding of our descendants in our house, so the line is going to grow. This happens of itself, he says, and everyone should know it. The reason he gives: for the kul pitrs of the seventh generation, if for any reason their gati has not happened, it is believed and said that their gati happens when the seventh generation is born. So at a mangalik work the pitrs are pleased because a wedding will happen, the line will grow, our gati will happen, we will be freed. Whenever a child is born and the line grows, the kul pitrs come; there is their coming and going; they are pleased that the line will grow, and they come to give blessing too. And when a death happens, at that time the coming and going of the kul pitrs is under way, since the pitrs and others come to take away the one whose body has been left. This, he says, is the simple, ordinary way of understanding the matter.

The speaker distinguishes two deaths. If a young person has died an untimely death, that is a wrong thing; that is a separate matter. But when some elder has died whose body was released after a great deal of suffering, the people of the house are somewhere a little glad too that he or she was freed from the suffering: they had grown old, their age had come, they were in so much pain in the body. So for elders who leave the body at a great age, he says, when their last journey to Vaikuntha is taken out, when the shav yatra goes, very often people go doing bhajan-kirtan. They have bhajan-kirtan done, and send the elder off happily with the shav yatra: go while taking the Lord's name. Even at such a time, he says, people envy: "their person has died and they are having bhajan-kirtan done." Gripped by all this envy, people use kshudra kinds of tantra. And these kshudra tantras are such that there is no rule or binding of any kind in them: Preta shakti and pishach shakti that keep no rule, and latkhor tantriks of the same sort who do these kriyas on someone's house without looking or listening to anything.

When a mangalik work happens, when a child has been born, the speaker says, the line has grown, and that alone stirs envy: "their house has had a child." A boy or a girl makes a difference: if it is a girl there may be a little satisfaction, "fine, it's a girl", though even today, however much people show the world that a princess has come, somewhere in the mind everyone still feels a pang that it is a girl. But if a boy has come, then people's joy today is such that the mother may or may not yet have seen her own child, and the whole world has. Uploaded to Facebook, to a story, to WhatsApp status; the child has toured the whole world. People do not even refrain from showing the baby's private parts to prove it is a boy. This, he says, is the biggest mistake you make. Everyone knows and says that when a child falls in Sataisa the father should not see its face. What you do not know is that until the chhathihar the child is also to be kept protected like this: until the Chhathihar the child should not be shown to the world. Today people go about showing everyone; so suffer, then. For one thing, fifty people are looking at the child and Nazar is falling on it. Perhaps one of them is good and does not envy; they write "wow, congratulations for baby boy, baby girl", but inside it is "look, he has got a son", "look, she has got a daughter", and at once the feeling of envy. Very few are truly glad; know that this is clear and true, and this is how it is today. And among those very people will be your enemies. You showed them; "fine, they are very happy, putting up status", and they go and tell someone, and get it done, and finish your story. They come to the house at the Chhathihar, and the clothes they gave the baby, who knows, have had something done in them already. There you are: how will you protect yourself, and from where? Never in life any special puja-path, never a thought for the protection of the house, and now there is trouble in the house.

So at this time, the speaker says, all these things must be attended to. Whoever comes, do not hand the baby over to anyone: "take him in your lap, take him along, play with him, he's a baby." Refrain. It is your line; a line grows only when there is great grace. Learn to keep the rules. The word of the in-laws, he notes, girls today find unpleasant anyway, and the boys, poor things, go along with it so no one feels bad. Girls who are wise keep their husbands scolded: "look, this is not to be done with the baby; we keep him protected and hidden." But today the girls themselves have become like this. In earlier times there were mothers who kept the baby safe; today none of that. Today they are playing dhol and baja, and happily giving the baby's video along with it to the man playing the baja. The transgender people who come to the house, they take the baby to them to show happily; at most a man refuses a little. Give your blessing, brother, give it from a distance. Why are you putting him in just anyone's lap? These very things, he says, are what cause the trouble at this time. Either some problem comes at once, with immediate effect, and that is that. Or else: a baby's Aura is very pure and very sensitive, and that is why it suffers the most. It cannot tell anyone what pain it is in; if its stomach hurts, how will it say so? The poor thing will cry, and how will you know what is troubling it? Either the child suffers at once, you do a little something, and the elders of the house are worried but people today will not listen to them. Or the second thing: not then, but what was set on it at that time, whatever Preta or pishach was done against the child, done against the line, after two years, four years, eight years, that surely comes to dominate, and then the child has trouble from childhood on.

After the birth, the speaker says, come weddings. In weddings too people today do not keep the rules; no one keeps the elders' rules; they set everything on the shelf, and that has far-reaching consequences later. Fine, you will not keep niyam-dharma anyway; but even the show you put on after that should be within a limit, and it is not. Envious people get their chance to do what they want very easily. In earlier times, he says, people kept everything under restriction: not to be done, everything to be kept hidden; the girl would meet no one, the boy would meet no one. Not today. People come to apply HaldiTurmeric, used in offering and in the mala and rites of the yellow-clad forms of the Goddess., and the whole world is applying it, with no rule followed at all. Now if someone comes with shamshan BhasmaSacred ash, used as a substitute for milk in a Shivling's abhishekam when milk isn't available. in his hand along with that haldi, rubs it in, does what he had to do and leaves, what will you do? The rule, he says, is that only those who apply it should apply it. Today it is not like that; today it has to be shown that the whole clan, the whole of one's own city, will come and apply it, brother. Even the person you do not know will apply it. And what is in whose mind, who knows.

The speaker says that if the parents have given something, "wear this at the neck", or a bandhan is given to tie on the hand, people give it, the kul purohit gives it, the pandit ji gives it after reading mantras, "keep this tied", then: "it came loose, it fell off; yes, it had fallen, I forgot; why are you getting so worried, Mummy?" Such are the children's words. They are not children, he says; had they been disciplined at the right time they would not make such mistakes; they would understand the importance, or at least be afraid. You kept her as papa's pari, so now the pari will suffer all her life and make you suffer too. The boys are the same: once they start earning they will not listen to the parents. "What, Mummy, you too? Tying this does nothing." And later, when a child is not being born, then run: get IVF done, get this done, get that done, keep getting it done, and afterwards keep weeping. You yourself abandon your own protection, he says, and these very things that you call superstition and dismiss from one end are what hit you at the right time, and then they work like acid, so that no work gets done. Then you weep, you speak ill of the devi-devatas, and those who talk about and teach such matters you call complete frauds (adambari). But inside, the blow lands on you very well. Take hold of yourselves. He adds that if these videos remain on YouTube five or ten years from now, whoever is going through such trouble should look at all this and look at the time of their own wedding: observe it carefully, if someone has said that it was done at the time of the marriage, and see how the rules and proprieties were kept. You may have been keeping them, but the people who spoil things are many. One has to move through all these things with great thought and care. He closes by hoping everyone will benefit and will pass this knowledge on properly to the coming generation.
