Which specific mantras from Saptashati address specific problems like estrangement, debt, or negative energy?
Saptashati contains specific mantras for specific needs — attraction of an estranged person, protection from severe adversity and debt, auspicious events and marriage obstacles, removing ancestral or divine faults, and protection from negative energies and evil eyes.
Sealing a cleared house: havan, Kshetrapal nikari, Jayanti Mangala bandhan, Argala ahutis and consecrated nails
The speaker says that once the disturbance had stopped, an auspicious time came in which the most special procedures were done by the family. The full method of a Havan was explained to them item by item and they performed it themselves; a Kshetrapala Nikari was done; then the house was bound using the Jayanti Mangala Kali mantra itself; the house was secured with ahutis given with the first mantra of the Argala Stotra; and with the same, nails were consecrated and driven in. He does not claim an old problem can be solved by such simple means, but says these new Sadhaks worked very hard and as a result their family is safe today.
Name-mantras for the Kavach, nine ahutis on Argala's first mantra, Kilaka's first alone, nothing for the Rahasyas
Kavach uses the individual name-mantras of the Nine Durgas or named powers, not its full verses; Argala uses nine Ahutis with only its first mantra; Kilaka uses only its first mantra, dedicated to Shiva; the Rahasya texts get no Havan offerings at all.
Which parts of Durga Saptashati may be read independently of their anga?
The eleventh chapter of Durga Saptashati may certainly be recited daily; done independently rather than as part of the full paath, it needs no accompanying six angas. The same applies to Ratri Suktam, the stutis of the fourth and fifth chapters, the tantrokta Devi Suktam, and the stutis and phal-kathan of the eleventh and twelfth chapters, and Kavach, Argala and Keelak may each likewise be read on their own.
How can Chapter 7's Chanda-Munda verses be used as a Samput within the Saptashloki?
Chapter 7 of the Saptashati, where the Goddess slays Chanda and Munda, can be inserted as a Samput within the Saptashloki to act forcefully against evil-doers — but the 7 verses should first be mastered and empowered on their own before applying such specific insertions.
What is the complete method for using the Argala Stotram's first verse during Gupt Navratri?
The first verse ('Om Jayanti Mangala Kali...') names 11 divine aspects of the Goddess and carries full capacity to resolve financial trouble, Pitru Dosha, planetary afflictions, court cases, hostile influence, and health distress — chanted for an hour daily on a clean seat with a simple mental resolution.
Composite havan samagri and the 108 ahutis with the Argala Stotra's first mantra
Before the Purnahuti, the speaker says, a havan samagri is prepared: at least half a kilo of fragrant dhoop wood, 250 grams of black til, 125 grams of jau, a little rice, panchmeva, honey and ghee, all mixed, with the seeds of at least two good red pomegranates mixed into the same samagri. When the havan of the names is complete, he says, 108 Ahutis of this samagri are given with the first mantra of the Argala Stotra — the whole mantra Jayanti Mangala Kali Bhadrakali Kapalini.
Vidhi at Vindhyachal: darshan, trikon yatra, 100 Chalisa paths and an Argala-mantra havan
The speaker says that at Vindhyachal, after darshan of Bhagavati Vindhyavasini and the Trikona Yatra, one should stay a day and do 100 paths of the Chalisa, and have ahutis offered through purohits in the Havan kund with the first mantra of the Argala Stotra. By this, he says, Bhagavati removes many diseases, sorrows and afflictions, all the doshas of the house, and many sins: she is fully able to devour every kind of sin, and to grant every kind of happiness and then moksha. So everyone must do her seva, puja and aradhana in their lifetime — for life, if possible.
May the Argala's first mantra be dedicated to the kuldevi, and which water for abhishek?
Absolutely, he answers: the japa of the first mantra of the Argala may be dedicated for the sake of one's kuldevi. To Vidyasagar ji, who writes that he lives in Delhi where supply water comes and an RO is installed, and asks which water to use for abhishek since there is no hand pipe though there is a submersible — he answers that if you use the water of the RO it will be more excellent.
Which single vidhan pleases every devi, pauranik and lok alike?
Asked which vidhan gives the special sanidhya that pleases all kinds of devis — pauranik devis, lok devis, all of them — he calls it a most excellent and meaningful question and says the vidhan is available on the channel. It is the first mantra of the Argala: जयन्ती मङ्गला काली भद्रकाली कपालिनी. Whoever keeps doing its purashcharan, whoever keeps doing japa of it, all kinds of devi shaktis become pleased, whatever shakti it may be. If she is endowed with devi tattva she will certainly be pleased — even a lok devi, and even the negative shaktis, because Bhagavati Bhadrakali too is in it, and by her rule those things become favourable however unfavourable they may be.
Which shaktis stand behind the Argala's first mantra?
Their chhatra shakti is Mahakali — it is the Argala, so Mahakali is the chhatra shakti of this mantra. And Mahalakshmi: by Mahalakshmi's kripa you obtain vaibhav as well. All the shaktis, however many lok shaktis and lok devis there are, their kripa will be obtained by you through this one single mantra.
Can each mantra of the Argala Stotram be used independently?
Yes — each mantra of the Argala can in itself be used independently. As for the first mantra, he says he has told this many times: if in life you have received no mantra diksha, have found no guru, and do not even wish to do any separate specific vidhi, then you should take the first mantra of the Argala into your life with your eyes shut.
Is there any restriction on reciting the first mantra of the Argala Stotram?
Yes. If the yajnopavit and the like has not been done, and if you are a woman, then only do not utter the pranava in it. For the rest, uttering the eleven names of the devi — Jayanti Mangala Kali — you may do nitya smaran and japa. With these very mantras, he says, you can also do hom and havan.
Which Argala Stotram mantras serve saubhagya and kalyan?
For the attainment of saubhagya, the mantra "vanditanghri yuge devi sarva saubhagya dayini" can be recited independently, one by one — for instance one mala in the morning and one mala in the evening during Navratra. For the attainment of roop, kalyan, and where inauspicious things are happening, there is the mantra "vidhehi devi kalyanam vidhehi paramam shriyam".
Which Argala Stotram mantras serve for a spouse and for health?
For the attainment of a wife it is given there — "patnim manoramam dehi". Those who desire a good life partner can jap these mantras independently. And there is the mantra "dehi saubhagyam arogyam, dehi me paramam sukham" — for those with a great deal of disease in the body, or whose fortune is not supporting them, japa of this mantra too can be done independently.
What does the Kilak Stotram give, and can its mantras be offered in havan?
From the very first mantra of the Kilak the attainment of jnana takes place, and all its mantras can be japped separately and independently for different desires. But the process of havan and the like cannot be done with them: havan of all the mantras of the kavach, argala and kilak is not done, and those which are astra mantras get no havan.
The view that the Kilak should be dropped from a Madhyam Charitra paath, keeping only Kavach and Argala
Some people say that of the kavach, argala and kilak, the kilak should not be done — that if you are doing only the Madhyam Charitra, do the kavach and argala, then do the second adhyaya, the Madhyam Charitra, and when the Madhyam Charitra is complete, do the paath of the three Rahasyas. As to why one anga out of the six is removed, he says he has no authoritative information and so cannot say, but it is in common circulation and is said again and again.
The daily morning paath at Vaishno Devi (Katra) as a precedent for reciting the eleventh and twelfth adhyayas
Those who watch the live from Vaishno Devi see that the paath takes place every day in the early morning: the paath of the kavach, argala and kilak, and after that the paath of the eleventh adhyaya and the paath of the twelfth adhyaya. So you too can do this — there is no prohibition anywhere.
Can the first mantra of the Argala and the Panchakshari be combined in nitya pujan?
Asked whether one may do the first mantra of the Argala and the Panchakshari in the morning, and japa in the evening for Baba Vaidyanath and Mata Jai Durga in the nitya pujan, he says yes, absolutely one can. Asked about the Batuk Bhairav hriday stotra in Hindi, he says by all means do it. On the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach he says its Sanskrit is very difficult and not everyone can do it.
How many paaths should be done of the Argala mantra "Dehi saubhagyam arogyam"?
Asked how much paath should be done of the mantra "Dehi saubhagyam arogyam, dehi me paramam sukham", he says you may do an anushthan of as much of it as you wish, independently.
Which text can be used as a samput with the Argala's first mantra?
Asked with which adhyaya or mantra of Saraswati the first mantra of the Argala may be samput-ed, the speaker says: for dharma-yukta desires, make the Saptashloki siddh and samput it with that — he has told this many times. There are only seven shlokas; do the samput and it will happen at once. And make the Saptashloki siddh separately by doing seven hundred paths of it, or do eleven hundred paths. Then it will become wonderful.
What if you cannot pronounce Sanskrit?
Then do it in Hindi. The whole vidhi-vidhan is published on the channel; but if you do not know how to pronounce Sanskrit, if you do not read it, learn to do it in Hindi. And do not attempt any vidhi-vidhan — at the very least perform the path of the Kavach, Argala and Keelak in Hindi, and if you can do the whole thirteen adhyayas daily then do so, and do the path of the three Rahasyas. Do that much.
What is the purashcharan count for the first mantra of the Argala?
The ordinary purashcharan is at least 10,000, the speaker says. In writing you will find 1,000, but that 1,000 is for those who are Durga pathis, who do the daily regular path of the Saptashati ji. Everyone else should certainly do at least 10,000 japa, and in the Kali kaal it should be taken up to 40,000.
Which mantra does he give for the bandhan vidhi?
He says that to perform the bandhan vidhi you can use Bhagavati's Argala mantra, whose capacity is very great. If you have done eleven thousand or up to twenty-seven thousand japa of this mantra, then after that perform the vidhi of keelan.
What is the remedy for hidden enemies?
Asked what the remedy is for protection from hidden enemies, he says: do the paath of the Argala. When we do the paath of the Argala Stotra, there are such mantras of Bhagavati in it that Bhagavati destroys all enemies, manifest and unmanifest. Do the Kavach, Argala and Keelak, or the Argala alone — the house too will be protected, and there will be protection from enemies too.
What does the advanced form of the Jayanti Mangala mantra involve?
He says that at an advanced level the Jayanti Mangala mantra is done with full vidhi-vidhan — every single meaning of it, doing viniyoga, doing nyasa, doing yantra archan by the full vidhi — and her puja and seva takes place by the whole brihat vidhi. Everything is done with full vidhi-vidhan from the first mantra of the Argala.
Can the first mantra of the Argala be recited during the eclipse?
Absolutely, he says: the japa of the first mantra of the Argala can be done in the grahan kaal. Wherever you are, in whatever state you are, you can do it mentally in that way.
What if loud japa disturbs the neighbours?
A listener says he does one mala of japa of the first mantra of the Argala on a sphatik mala in a loud voice, and that the people of the mohalla have troubled him a great deal, with arguments happening every other day. If people are being troubled by your mantra japa, the speaker answers, there can be two reasons — they may be afflicted by pret, and so difficulty is arising for them.
May Pitru Gayatri be offered as ahuti at an Amavasya havan?
Asked whether, at an Amavasya havan for the mukti and shanti of all kinds of pitrs, one mala of ahuti can be given with the mantra "पितृ देवाय विद्महे जगत धारणाय धीमहि", the speaker answers: in his own view, if you have always been doing it, you can. But ordinarily, if you also wish to do something for the pitrs, he says not to do this independently but to give it with the first mantra of the Argala, in which the swadha shakti is available — through the swadha shakti their satisfaction will come about, no mistake will occur in it, and their gati will happen too. He states plainly: do not offer ahuti of the Pitru Gayatri independently.
Can women do tarpan or offer ghee ahuti?
Told that women too can do tarpan, he answers: no, no — you people do not do it, let the men do it. And on the first mantra of the Argala Stotra, whose ahuti is to be given with ghee and honey mixed, he says everyone should pay attention: women are not to give the ahuti of ghee. This he says again and again.
Is there a sadhana or mantra for obtaining a spiritually inclined wife?
Use the mantra from the Argala Stotra — the verse ending "patnim manoramam dehi", asking for a pleasing wife. The speaker names it directly and moves on.
What balances the tremors that mantra japa produces?
It means the mantra is having its effect and Sattvic powers are rising in the body — but it is unregulated, not balanced. For that you should recite the Kavach, and if possible perform a Havan on the Ashtami day as well.
What opens a binding of the Kuldevi or the Pitrs?
A Havan with the mantras of the Argala. In the Argala mantras the Kuldevi is there and the Pitrs are there — Bhagavati is described there in the form of Svadha as well — so whatever the binding is, it will open.
When is Kamadev sadhana actually indicated?
Only when disorders of that kind in the body are causing a great deal of trouble — that is, where a child is wanted for the sake of Dharma and the body is not cooperating, where there is a medical problem. Then it should be done. For a fit and beautiful wife, perform Bhagavati's sadhana instead: Patnim Manoramam Dehi.
Is there a sadhana for obtaining a suitable and spiritual wife?
The speaker says one certainly may — chiefly of one's own Maiya Durga, by the last mantra of the Argala, by "patnim manoramam dehi". He notes he had said this in the previous live, if the questioner did not hear it.
Argala Stotra may be recited even when a pandit has forbidden it
A listener who recites the Argala Stotra, Devi Suktam, the Ashtottara names and a chapter of the Saptashati says a pandit told them they cannot recite the Argala, while the speaker says they can. The speaker answers that why the pandit forbade it is the pandit's affair — he cannot know — and remarks that there are strange people who tell you to do what should not be done; his own position that it may be recited stands.
What is given for one who cannot japa the Navarna mantra?
If you cannot japa Navarna and the like because you have no diksha, then the first mantra of the Argala, with its full method, is broadcast on the channel — with complete viniyoga and nyasa, which he says he has hardly found in any grantha to this day.
Where did those nyasas come from, and who may use them?
In the Tantrokta granthas of the Durga Saptashati the nyasa of the seventh and thirteenth adhyaya is found, but not that of the mantras of the Kavach, Argala and Keelak. By Bhagavati's grace, capable sadhaks who hold such ancient books and granthas, still unpublished, gave what they had after discussion, for the welfare of the members of the Grihastha Tantra family. Whether you are diksha-holder or not, woman or man, whether you wear the janeu or not, he says there is no difficulty.
The Ravana story: Hanuman's one-letter change in the Argala mantra
The speaker tells the second account, from a Ramayana: Ravana was having a Chandika pujan of Bhagavati Tara performed with the Tara mantra embedded in the path. Hanuman, realising Ravana would become invincible on all sides if it were completed, took the form of a young Brahmin boy, a batuk, and pleaded with the aged Brahmins not to commit this wrong — if the rakshasa was to be ended, they should make a mistake. In the second mantra of the Argala, "jaya devi bhutartiharini", the syllable "ha" was changed to "ka", making it "bhutartikarini"; because the uccharan went wrong, Bhagavati grew angry and Ravana was destroyed. That, he says, is reckoned one of the causes.
What does he prescribe for someone with no time for elaborate worship?
Naam jap, he says, is the most necessary thing today for one who has no time for much puja-path. For those whose shraddha is in Bhagavati and who have taken her sharanagati, he repeats what he has said many times: if you can do nothing else, take the Jayanti Mangala mantra — the first mantra of the Argala — into your life. And memorise the twelve names of the one in whom you have shraddha, and recite them until they begin to run in the mind of themselves.
Jwalamukhi stone prayoga at a Kali temple to free bound pitr
The speaker's third remedy is a Tantrokta Prayoga to be tried only after many others have failed, since it needs a hard-to-get item: a jwalamukhi stone, sold at some puja shops at a high price. On Amavasya, bathe it in Gangajal and have the pandit place it on the right foot of Kali in a temple at least 12 years old; take the sankalp and do japa of the first mantra of the Argala Stotra for at least a sava ghanta. Neither you nor the pandit (paid daan-Dakshina for this) may touch the stone: push it with a Peepal leaf onto a second peepal leaf, tie it in yellow or white cloth, and hang it outside the main door on the side that falls to your right as you enter, with daily dhoop-deep to Kali reciting the same mantra. Its sudha shakti frees the pitr from however great a Bandhan; a genuine stone finishes the work in one go, though whether the freed pitr then become active for you is, he says, a separate matter.
Cow-dung dhuni for the kuldevi with 21 ahutis of two mantras
The second part of the kuldevi prayog, the speaker says, is done at the puja place in a large clay vessel or a havan kund that is not copper or iron. Havan fire is not invoked: ordinary cow-dung cakes are lit with ghee or kapoor, and 21 ahutis each are given with two mantras — for the kuldevi and with the first mantra of the Argala Stotra, "Jayanti Mangala Kali". One may first offer ahutis for guru and Ganapati. The kuldevi ahutis use guggul only, with nothing else added; the Jayanti Mangala ahutis use guggul with the seeds of four or five split cardamoms and a little ghee. If one does not say svaha it is no problem, since this is a dhuni.
Can japa really bring knowledge of one's kuldevi?
The speaker cites a screenshot he posted on the Telegram channel: a person doing japa of the first mantra of the Argala, "Jayanti Mangala", to learn fully about his kuldevi, saw in a dream the chief temple of Bhagavati Vindhyavasini in the Vindhya region, and was being instructed to go into a particular room and worship her in a particular way. He says he confirmed such a temple exists.
How should the Shakradi Stuti be continued for an early marriage?
At least once each morning and evening, with one mala alongside of the Argala Stotra verse asking for a pleasing wife — the final one — done morning and evening as well, so that the marriage happens soon.
Step two of tantra kaat at home: a daily path by every family member
The second task, the speaker says, is a daily path. Whatever form of Bhagavati the peeth belongs to — in his example Jayanti Mata, a form of Durga — recite something related to it: the Argala path, her 32-name namavali, the 108 names, or the Kavach path. Any one of these is to be recited morning and evening by every person in the house; if nothing else, everyone knows the Durga Chalisa, so recite that — but every person must do it, with the lamp kept burning while the path goes on.
Once the practice is established a Kavach is added, and after it the Beejakshar, the Argala or the Ratri Sukta
When the practice has formed and you are completing it in very little time, add a Kavach with it. When the Kavach is done, go on to the Beejakshar; or to the whole extended prescription of the first mantra of the Argala; or, if you want a Stotra rather than a mantra, to the Tantrokta Ratri Sukta. But hold to one base.
The many options exist for your convenience, not because one bears fruit and another does not
Because whatever seems manageable to you, you should be able to do. It is not that doing the thirty-two Namavali brings you fruit and doing a Kavach does not, or that your work will not be accomplished — Jagadamba's form is the same everywhere and the same at the root; it will be completed from there too.
How should the Durga Saptashati be recited?
Asked how the Durga Saptashati should be recited, the speaker says: recite the Durga Saptashati by the Mahavidya krama, which has been taught on this very channel — in which on some day one adhyaya, on some day two adhyayas, and on some day three adhyayas are to be recited. In it you will not even need to do shraap vimochan and the like. There is a live too on the paath of the Durga Saptashati; listen to it fully and every one of your doubts will be resolved in it.
How many ahutis at minimum for the havan of the Argala's first mantra?
At least 108. The speaker says that if you cannot perform very much of the havan of the Argala's first mantra, then do a minimum of 108 ahutis.
What can the first mantra of the Argala be used for?
Asked which prayoga is to be done with the first mantra of the Argala, he answers that there are so many things in that mantra that you can use it for whatever purpose you wish. Even for the sake of the pitrs a prayoga can be done with it. Only, you have to speak that thing in the sankalp.
What should be done when Kali stops appearing in dreams?
Told by Anju Kumari ji that Maa Kali used to appear in dreams but is not appearing now, he answers that she will begin to appear again: do japa of the first mantra of the Argala according to your capacity, every day in the night time, and along with it begin reciting the Tantrokta Ratri Suktam.
Can a mantra received in a dream be used, and what sadhana is for marriage?
Told that Kali or a Shivling keeps appearing in dreams, and that Kali Mata appears protecting the questioner, he says it is a good thing, brother. Asked whether the mantra obtained in a dream may be japa'd, he tells Ayush Pandey ji that there is a video related to this on the channel — how a mantra obtained in a dream is to be tested, how it is to be known and what is to be done. Search for "swapna mein mila hua mantra grihastha tantra" and you will find it. Asked what sadhana should be done for marriage, he answers: the utmost japa of the last mantra of the Argala — patni manoramam dehi. Asked whether a dosha attaches if japa can only be done at nine in the morning, he tells Pandit Garg ji to try to do it in the morning: doing it at nine or ten o'clock, your effect will go on being somewhat lost, so either do it early in the morning or else do it in the evening time.
Can an unmarried person recite the Durga Saptashati?
On the subject, he says, the person who has his own intellect is himself seeing what is wrong and what is right; one should never make an assessment from one thing. People go along holding only one thing — this is the mistake they make. Told that whenever people speak of reading the Durga Saptashati at all three times, they refuse, saying your marriage has not happened, saying you will become a vairagi, he answers: do this — the last mantra of the Argala, patni manoramam dehi, first do its sadhana well. May you get such a fit wife as will sit with you and do the recitation of the Saptashati. Do this. After that go and tell guru ji: guru ji, now I have got such a one that we two sit together and recite the Saptashati day and night. Then he will tell you properly.
Why were the three Rahasyas joined to the Saptashati when they are not described in the Markandeya Purana?
He answers that the three Rahasyas, and beyond them the Kavach, Argala and Keelak — the whole of that subject — are there because the Saptashati has become an independent Shakta grantha. When you recite the Keelak, he says, you will then come to know what that subject is.
What are the six angas of the Saptashati?
He names them as the shadanga, the six angas: the Kavach, the Argala, the Keelak and the three Rahasyas. This entire subject, he says, is connected with what he has just described. Without these six angas, the Saptashati of seven hundred shlokas as it exists today cannot be complete.
May a nightly japa of the Argala's first mantra be shifted to the morning?
A listener says they try to do ten malas of the Argala's first mantra daily at night, and asks whether on a day when household work comes up it can be done in the morning. He says: certainly do so. Only see that there is no gap. For some reason, a gap of five days will happen to women in any case — that is not counted.
How many shlokas do the Kavach, Argala and Keelak make together?
He says that the Kavach, Argala and Keelak taken together make a thousand shlokas — that is a separate subject. Only the mool Saptashati, he tells the listener Mahesh, is the one that is Sahasradhik.
How should one perform the nitya seva of Purnagiri Maiya?
Asked how to do the seva of Purnagiri Maiya and which mantra to utter for the nitya seva, he says that among the 51 Shakti Peeths, and the mool aadhaar peeths, whenever the pujan of any shakti or any devi takes place, the pujan of Bhagavati Purnagiri Peeth and Jalandhar Peeth and all of these certainly happens. So do the pujan according to Maai's form, or according to the mool form; and if you are not initiated, proceed according to the first mantra of the Argala, or, if you wish to go into the brihad form, according to the yantra of the Durga Saptashati.
How does the mool Saptashati differ from the prevalent one?
But in the mool Saptashati, the old ones, he says, the Argala Stotra and the Keelak and all of it are much larger — greatly different from the prevalent one we look at — and in it the whole subject of all this is present. Secondly, he says, it is not only the three charitas and the six angas; there are further subjects as well, which go according to each adhyaya, and in those too there is a broad treatment of the tattvas, and those tattvas are directly connected with the principal energy, the principal shakti in it.
What should a Shakambhari kuldevi worshipper actually do?
For obtaining the grace of Bhagavati, when your kuldevi is Jagadamba Shakambhari, do the sadhana at the link he has given. And since she is your kuldevi, do this sadhana again and again. Alongside it do the sadhana of the first mantra of the Argala as well, give ahuti from both, and see the wonder. If you do it even for a whole year, from this Shakambhari Navratri to the Shakambhari Navratri of the next year, then you will be left with nothing to worry about, and within a year your capacity will grow so much — if you have kept the vidhi, vidhan and rules.
Which mantra should be used for havan in the house?
According to him, ahuti should certainly be given in the house with the mantra of the Argala. It is for both men and women. Do it with the Hanuman Chalisa also; and if with the first mantra of the Argala, then do it with Jayanti Mangala Kali. There are not one but many benefits of doing havan with Jayanti Mangala Kali. The greatest thing is that you do not know which auspicious shakti is in your house, which form of the Devi it is; it is right for every form, it will make every form pushta, it is pushtikarak.
Can women perform havan with the Tantrokta Navarna mantra?
Women can perform havan with the Tantrokta Navarna mantra, he says. More than the Navarna mantra, though, he says to use the first mantra of the Argala. If you have the deeksha of the Navarna mantra, then you can do it.
Can the Durga Saptashati be recited in Hindi?
There is no difficulty at all, he answers. If you wish to do the path of thirteen adhyayas in one day in Hindi you can; the same vidhi will remain, do everything in Hindi. Recite the Kavach, Argala and Keelak in Hindi too, then recite the thirteen adhyayas in Hindi, and recite the three Rahasyas in Hindi as well. If you do it in the Mahavidya krama, that is thirteen adhyayas over seven days, then do it in Hindi in the same way, reciting on the day on which two adhyayas have been prescribed exactly as prescribed. The full vidhi-vidhan is in a playlist named Navratri 2022.
How should the havan be done if the path was in Hindi?
Do the havan with the mantra, he says, with the mool mantra that has been given. He repeats what he says often: if you know nothing at all, if no mantra comes to you, then bring the first mantra of the Argala into your life — "ओम जयंती मंगला काली भद्रकाली कपालिनी दुर्गा क्षमा". Take that into your life, do the havan with it and do the japa of it.
Which mantra can be japped while walking about?
Japa of a naam mantra is done, he says. If Durga ji is your ishta then you can do japa of the name of Durga ji, of the first mantra of the Argala. There is no need to attach Om, and if you do attach it there is no difficulty either; there is no need to get so entangled in that — do it comfortably. When that mantra settles in your mind it will keep running while you walk about. You can do it because it is at maximum a naam mantra: there are eleven names of Bhagavati in it. Practise it, and in two or three months the practice will be such that the mantra will run even in your dreams.
What should someone do whose work simply is not getting done?
To Abhishek ji, whose work is not getting done, and to all who have this problem, he makes a request: catch hold of some one sadhana. Which swaroop do you wish for, in which swaroop does your mind settle? He says he will try that very day, between nine and ten at night, to put up a video somehow, and that one video already exists on the first mantra of the Argala, by which eleven shaktis including the kuldevi and the yoginis become siddha. Bring these two sadhanas into your life. However great the abhicharik problem is that is not being cut — do not be too troubled by it, do not waste money, do not waste time, but take these sadhanas into your life.
Can the Kavach, Argala and Keelak be in Sanskrit and the adhyayas in Hindi?
Yes, that can be done, there is no difficulty, he answers. If we do the Kavach, Argala and Keelak in Sanskrit because we know them, and want to do the rest in Hindi, that too can be done. And the three Rahasyas may be done in Sanskrit if you wish, or in Hindi if you wish. There is no difficulty and no dosha in Sanskrit and Hindi; take the doubt out of your mind. If Sanskrit comes well, do it; if it does not come, then do it in Hindi.
How does one please Bhagavati Kali?
Do the daily seva of Jagdamba, he says, to please Bhagavati Kali. If you can do archan, then do it — do it with rice, colouring the rice with red roli, and offer to Bhagavati with the hundred and eight names. Otherwise do as much japa as you can, according to your capacity, of the first mantra of the Argala, Om Jayanti Mangala Kali. If you have no other mantra, Neha ji, then surrender yourself to Jagdamba and do only that much.
Is it only bhoot-pret and the household's ancestors who trouble people?
Now what should he say to you, he answers. If you stay stuck in bhoot-pret then bhoot-pret will trouble you; go beyond it. Whether it be your pitr and ancestors, bhoot-pret, dev dosha or mantra dosha, Bhagavan Dattatreya is why he says again and again to do it — from him the shaman of any kind of dosha whatsoever happens. Do the sadhana of the Dattatreya Mala Mantra, and along with it the Ganpati Atharvashirsha and the first mantra of the Argala. These three are such things that every kind of dosha will be shamed; and when the dosha is shamed, whether mantra dosha, devi dosha or the dosha of the pitrs, all of them will be removed by it. You people stay troubled about bhoot-pret alone, he says — that if there is a bhoot the bhoot will cut you; nowadays there is a great deal of drama from you people.
Is there any devi or devata who is not ugra?
Asked who said that the sumiran of the devi should not be done because the Mata is an ugra form, he tells Amrit ji simply to do the path of the first mantra of the Argala; there is nothing of that kind. Which devi-devatas are ordinary, he asks — which devi-devata is not ugra? Who has not ended some wicked one? Which swaroop is there like that in our Sanatan culture? Hanuman ji is a Vaishnav, and he killed so many demons by turning himself into a monkey. All are ugra; not one is saumya. And has Narayan not killed? He has ended so many people, ended the wicked. Then do not take his name at all. Now do Ram-Ram — Ram killed Ravana, who was so great a wicked one; Ram ji killed him, did his vadh. So now let us not take Ram ji's name at all, because Ram ji has become ugra.
How many repetitions of the Argala stotra equal the benefit of a sava lakh?
However much you do, the more the better, the speaker answers — and asks why one should read it by counting at all. When your mind is satisfied, understand that you are attaining siddhi relating to that stotra.
Are there further prayogas of the first mantra of the Argala stotra?
Asked to give further prayogas or vidhis of the first mantra of the Argala stotra, the speaker says eleven prayogas come within the Argala. He begins to say that all those things are not told for a reason, then says that fine, they will be told — when the time comes, that too will be told.
Ahuti rules for the rakshoghna mantras, Kavach, Argala and Keelak in a Saptashati havan
The speaker says the rakshoghna mantras of chapter 4 — the four verses 24 to 27 beginning "शूलेन पाहि नो देवी पाहि खड़गिन चंबिके" that follow the 23-verse stuti — cannot be offered with sakalya: either recite them and leave them, or the chief officiant offers ghrit for them; sakalya ahuti with these too becomes a cause of ruin. Ahuti is not done with the full mantras of the Kavach and Argala. Argala's first mantra is offered, Keelak's first mantra is offered, and from the Kavach only the name-mantras of its shaktis — never the whole shlokas.
What can be done when someone is attempting to entrap one by prayoga?
Ghanshyam Das ji asks about Bhagavati Durga's yogini sadhana; the speaker says it is not possible to tell it at once, because all the materials would have to be arranged, and an ordinary vidhan cannot be told just like that either. Instead, he says, if this is a matter of fraud, if such a situation has arisen, then arrange to obtain Bhagavati Durga's Vajra Panjara Kavach. And if not that, then, doing samput with the Argala mantra, or with the "शूलेन पाहि नो देवी" mantra, recite the Tantrokta Devi Suktam.
What order does the daily sitting follow, and are the Kavach, Argala and Kilak done every day?
Guru, Ganpati and Batuk Bhairav ji's Ashtottar Satnam first, then the recitation of that day in whatever manner the Mahavidya krama prescribes. And yes — perform the Kavach, Argala and Kilak daily, and only then go on to that day's recitation.
With Vivah Panchami and Margashirsha Chaturdashi both gone, japa of the Argala's second-last mantra at a Bhagavati temple is prescribed meanwhile
Vivah Panchami and Margashirsha Chaturdashi have both gone, so wait for now; the prescription for Vasant Panchami will be given at that time. And meanwhile, do japa as far as possible in a Bhagavati temple of the Durga Saptashati Argala's second-last mantra — Patnim Manoramam Dehi.
How should one do the bandhan of one's own house?
Asked how to do the bandhan of the house oneself, he says it has been explained on the channel. The best thing for householders is the bandhan of the house by the mantra related to the Argala; its information has been given there in full.
A new house is built but the havan and griha pravesh have not happened — how to do keelan and protection?
Sumant Sharma ji, he says, it is exceedingly good if you have the keelan of your house done by some capable sadhak. If you wish to do it yourself, then in the place where you now live do the anushthan of the vidhan of the Argala that has been told to you, and — by the vidhan that has been told, of how the trishul and the rest is to be made abhimantrit — having done the abhimantran by that vidhan, you can do the keelan of your house.
What should be done on the morning of an Amavasya, and what havan should follow?
If you are a Vaishnava, or have shraddha in Bhagavan Narayana — though here, he says, the tradition is of the Panchdev — then on that day the paath of the eleventh adhyaya of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita should be done in the morning; by that alone your day is made. After that, if possible, on that same day, in the morning or at night, whenever you get time, whenever it is proper, a havan should be done with the first mantra of the Argala. And this, he says, should be done on every Amavasya.
Why is the first mantra of the Argala attached in particular?
He adds the first mantra of the Argala, he says, because for it no diksha of any kind is needed. In it the devi-devatas of your house, and however many shaktis there are — the eleven devis who are chief — all of them are satisfied. And there is a further plus point: in it Bhagavati is seated in the form of Swadha, who becomes the cause of the satisfaction of the pitrs. So the pitrs too will be satisfied; when the ahuti falls, Bhagavati Swadha, the Swadha shakti, will satisfy them also.
Can the first mantra of the Argala be japa'd instead of the Durga Sahasranama?
Yes, certainly it can be done, he answers. If it is possible, do it a thousand and eight times, on this night of the Aghor Amavasya.
What then is the remedy when the oot pitrs are bound?
Whenever the oot pitrs are in a bandhan, then first of all do the pujan of Ganpati; do his sahasrarchan with dhoop and grass. Second, do a havan with the first mantra of the Argala — done by whoever is the first man of the house, that is, the eldest son, if it is possible for him; or have it done by some fit Brahmin if you do not know how to do it yourself.
Five malas of ahuti, a hundred and eight for Ganpati, kept up for three months
However great the bandhan being applied may be, if you all begin doing it continuously — it is to be done on the day of Amavasya itself; do it properly. If possible, give at least five malas of ahuti, and have a hundred and eight ahutis given for Bhagavan Shri Ganpati. Begin doing this much; at least three months, and after three Amavasyas things will begin to be understood by you.
Can the Argala first mantra be done holding a flower if there is no good mala?
Yes, this too can absolutely be done, the speaker says.
Which anushthan should a man do for marriage?
Do the Patni Manorama Dehi mantra, the last one of the Argala, the speaker says. And if in your life you complete seven thousand japa of the Saptashloki, then by doing one purashcharan each of the samput mantra you can use it in marriage, in wealth, in every matter. He says he has stated this many times.
The viniyoga and nyasa of the Argala's first mantra were given publicly across two or three videos
There are so many things in the first mantra of the Jayanti Mangala Argala, the speaker says, that two or three videos were made clarifying it and simplifying the whole of it, and even its viniyoga and nyasa were given. Search and you will find the first on this channel; the Argala first mantra with its nyasa and viniyoga you will not find anywhere else. And if there is some Sanskrit scholar, leaving aside the question of shastra pramana, show it to a Sanskrit scholar and see whether what is given there is correct according to Sanskrit grammar; from that alone you will understand that the arrangement here is entirely right. But people are not satisfied — society can never be satisfied; they want something more, something special, something strong.
Does suffering ever end permanently?
To one doing 108 recitations of the Argala's first mantra he says that is very fine and should be done lifelong. Since a human life has been obtained, that suffering should be wiped away forever is not possible. However great a siddha sadhak someone may be, it can absolutely not be said that they have no suffering, or that there is no suffering in their body or in their life — that is entirely a wrong thing.
Is there a havan of the Saptashati Kavach?
No, Archana ji, never do it, the speaker answers. There will be no havan of any astra mantra or kavach mantra. When you have completed the japa of the Saptashati Kavach — suppose you have done 1100 japa of the Saptashati Kavach and now wish that there should be a vidhi of havan and the like in it — then if you are a woman, with shakal and the rest; and if you are a man, with ghee, give the ahuti of Bhagavati's mool mantra, or of the first mantra of the Argala.
What sankalpa should be taken for the Saptashati Kavach havan?
Take this sankalpa in it, the speaker says: that for the complete grace of the Kavach of Bhagavati Durga described in the Saptashati, and for the pleasure of all the shaktis situated in it and for their grace, and so that whenever I recite the Kavach I may be protected by them — for this, in order to satisfy them and to nourish them, I take the sankalpa of performing havan with the first mantra of the Argala. Do this.
Is the first mantra of the Argala to be said with the pranava?
The first mantra of the Argala: if you wear the janeu then with the pranava, and if you do not wear it then without the pranava. It can also be done with the Devi Pranava.
Preparatory sequence before a full Saptashati havan begins
The speaker says that on havan day — say the path was done till Ashtami and the havan is on Navami — one first performs the full shaap vimochan vidhan, does only a path (no ahuti) of Kavach, Argala and Kilak, and completes the opening havans of Guru, Ganpati, the dikpals and so on. In a full-Saptashati havan there is no separate obligation to offer the Kavach; the first mantra of the Argala may be offered as a navahuti, and the Kilak's first mantra must be offered, and only that one. Then the Ratri Suktam and Atharvashirsha are recited, the Saptashati nyasa done, the Navarna japped and one mala of it offered in havan, nyasa done again, and the first chapter begins. He adds that this is best learned practically beside a specific acharya.
Since the Durga Saptashati is tantra, should it be done without a guru?
Every mantra of the Durga Saptashati is tantra, the speaker agrees — that is a correct statement, all of it is correct. With bhakti bhaav, for obtaining Bhagavati's grace, you may do her Kavach, Argala and Keelak.
What is promised in the Ashtottar Shatnam, and what about Argala?
If you are doing a wealth-related sadhana connected with Bhagavati Durga — for instance the Ashtottar Shatnam — the speaker recalls that Bhagavan Shiva has said in it that whoever does it with whatever purpose will obtain dharma, artha, kaam and moksha, will be filled with wealth and grain, and will obtain sons and grandsons. If you had taken it up, do it now too and do not leave it. If you do abundant japa of the Argala mantras and have been doing its havan, then in this Navratri too you must do exactly that.
Which rishis and devatas stand in the Kavach, Argala and Keelak?
Everyone will know the Kavach, Argala and Keelak and everyone will recite them, the speaker says. Look in the Kavach: Brahma ji is the rishi. In the Argala, Vishnu ji is the rishi. And in the Keelak, Shiva ji is the rishi. But look at the devatas there. Brahma ji is the rishi — but who is the devata? Chandika, that is Kalika, Kali ji, Mahakali ji. Look in the Argala: Vishnu, Narayan, is indeed the rishi — but who is the devata? Mahalakshmi. And look in the Keelak: here Shiva ji is the rishi, but the devi is Mahasaraswati. It ought to have been, he says, that where Brahma ji is Saraswati ji would be, and where Shiva ji is Bhagavati Kalika would be.
How should the first mantra of the Argala be done in Navratri?
Asked how the vidhan of the Argala's first mantra should be done for Navratri, the speaker answers that if you wish to do it at two times, then he would say do the japa of the Argala mantra at night-time, and the Ashtottar Shatnam in the day, at noon, at any time. The first point about Navratri, he adds, is that you may do the puja at any time at all: there is no difficulty according to the hour. It is not that you cannot do it at noon or in the evening; you may do it according to whatever capacity the body gives.
What should be done in place of Navarna japa?
If you are doing Saraswati, the speaker says, then do one mala — and its japa should be done without the pranav. The second thing is that in its place, if you wish, you can use the mantras of the Argala and the like; you can use the other mantras of the Saptashati, by which the fulfilment of your desire may come about. And if Navarna alone is to be done, then Navarna is the mantra of Mahadurga; it is not only of Durga ji — nine shaktis are seated in it.
Can the first mantra of the Argala Stotra be used everywhere?
Asked whether the first mantra of the Argala Stotra can run everywhere and will serve if no other mantra is perfected, he says absolutely — you can use it everywhere and can do japa of that mantra everywhere. Its full detailed description has already been given on the channel, and he tells the questioner to recite this mantra for a lifetime.
