Texts recited at the altar on Vijayadashami
The speaker says that after placing the twigs on the Kalash one sits at the altar, with dhoop-deep already burning or the day's pujan done, and recites the Aprajita Stotra, the Ramraksha Stotra and the Aditya Hridaya on Dashami — in both Chaitra and Sharadiya Navratri, all three without fail. If not those three, do a path of the Kavach along with what the transcript renders as "satnam" and the like, and then do aarti.
How should the Aprajita stotra be perfected in Gupt Navratri?
Asked what the vidhan is for perfecting the Aprajita stotra in Gupt Navratri, he says: do it by that vidhan by which you have been reciting it until now. On the Aprajita stotra he says every time that there is a very great inclusion of beej mantras in it, so the pronunciation of the beej ought to come to you properly. If you do the pronunciation properly, then you may recite it to your capacity.
How may Bhagavati Aprajita be worshipped?
The second thing, the speaker says, is that if you wish to obtain special grace then you should take deeksha and perform her special sadhana. Nevertheless, Bhagavati Aprajita can also be served and worshipped independently. Her shaktipeeth is present in the region of Bengal, and in other forms her shaktipeeth exists in Bangladesh as well. So if you especially want her grace, you may take deeksha and do the sadhana, or you may also perform her seva puja through the Durga Saptashati.
Can the Aparajita Stotra be recited daily?
Do it only if there is a need, he answers. Nowadays a man says to do it just like that. If you are seized by abhicharik kriyas, or have that kind of problem, or if you work in a field where you have to meet people again and again and convince someone — for instance if you are in the marketing field — then do it.
How should a mistake in sadhana be corrected?
The speaker says the Aparajita kavach will be available at the time of Diwali, and that the archan of Kali ji on every Amavasya may absolutely be done as he has already told. Asked what should be done to correct mistakes, he says: the mistake has happened, it is not to be repeated — do prayashchitta and move on.
Should one think carefully before doing a bandhan mantra?
Asked by Riya Sinha whether the Durga Chandi Kavach and the Aparajita Stotram may be done together, and what Maa Aparajita's mantra is, the speaker says he is telling everyone one thing today: before doing any of the bandhan mantras there are, think a thousand times.
Why are the Aprajita and Kunjika stotras kept secret?
Not only the Aprajita stotra but the Kunjika stotra too, he says, and many satakshari and many hriday — he makes no videos on any of these, and keeps them all secret. The reason behind it is that the capacity to do that thing is not in everybody. If he tells the whole vidhi, people will not do it; they will do it half and incomplete and then be troubled — and he does not want anyone to be troubled on his account, does not want to lead anyone astray. In the Aprajita there are so many beej mantras that their pronunciation will not come out of everybody.
What happens to a household's own deities if the Aprajita is taken up?
After doing the Aprajita, distress will come upon the deities of their house — because nowadays the devi-devatas in everybody's house are not shaktis of a high order that stand established. Many people have installed some ancestor of the kula in the house in the form of a pitr, established him in the form of a devata; in one house Mari Mata is worshipped, in another someone else. Now if you have them do the Aprajita sadhana, the man will simply sit and weep. This is why he cannot tell all these things.
What can the Aprajita do if it is done rightly, and what if it is done wrong?
Aprajita comes in the category of the Maha Vaishnavi Mahavidyas. If her path is done properly, then even the state of whatever has been done by the bhoot-pret will be thrown into disorder; and along with the bhoot-pret, what will not happen there — such a beating will take place that they will not come near that house in their life. But if you do that same Aprajita wrongly in the path, if you go wrong in the pronunciation, in the mantras and so on, then that same Aprajita becomes fatal for you.
What does a dream of a Narsingh murti in the act of slaying mean?
Some trouble is going to come, he says, over which you can gain victory by the kripa of Bhagwan Narsingh.
