Notes from our sources
Forty-day initial worship after installing Batuk Bhairav
The speaker says an initial worship of at least 40 days is excellent. If you have received a mantra, doing 40 Malas of Japa daily for 40 days is highly special. If you cannot, then recite the Batuk Bhairava Ashtottara Shatanama from the Rudrayamala Tantra at least 27 or 108 times every day, continuously for 40 days. Then, he says, whatever calamity comes — a tantra or abhichar attack, an enemy's conspiracy — Bhagwan pulls you out of that trouble and protects you, and establishes himself in part (anshatmak) at that place for the protection of your house and family.
When a worshipped deity's fruit has stalled: a bigger anushthan, or purnima–amavasya havan by problem
The speaker says that when the deities established at home seem not to give fruit in proportion to one's effort, one should get a big Anushthana of theirs done, or first have everything examined by jyotish and tantra and then hold an anushthan at home relating to Mahadev and Bhagwati. In a Mandala puja — a Navagraha mandala, a Sarvatobhadra mandala, many kinds of mandalas — every devi-devata whose grace was stuck anywhere is worshipped in many ways and satisfied; one chandi-yajna satisfies countless devatas and upadevatas, after which full fruit begins. If one cannot afford so large a rite, then on both Poornima and Amavasya give Ahuti with the mantras of one's own established deity according to the problem. With Batuk Bhairava installed: for trouble in begetting a son, Havan with kheer or ghee; for money problems, havan with mustard oil and bel leaves using his Aapad-uddharan mantra; if someone has used tantra against you, havan with black pepper using his 108-name list. Havan, he says, is a great medium — it satisfies and strengthens the deity and cuts any vachan or tantra prayog — but it must be continued long, every purnima, amavasya, ashtami and such days.
Bringing the anushthan home in stages after the temple and Siddha Peeth phases
The speaker says that once the door lamps and the teerth-kshetra phase have completed one level, the anushthan moves home — but not directly. Mornings: only ordinary bathing, incense and lamp to one's ishta; evenings: still at the temple, whether 15 minutes or an hour. After another 11 or 21 days, small anushthans begin at home, for example Batuk Bhairava's Ashtottara Shatanama Stotra — which he says has the power to destroy every kind of Abhichara, Batuk catching the negative shaktis in his kapal once that tattva is awake — at only 5 or 11 repetitions, no more. Over three to six months, with the outside anushthan repeated two or three times, confidence and capacity grow and one senses the shaktis awakening; only then does Deepdaan begin at home, with 108 or 8 lamps for Bhairava on Ashtami, increased slowly.
Hawan, tarpan and marjan after siddhi of the Batuk Bhairav Brahma Kavach
The speaker says a kavach has no Havan of its own; on the final day the hawan is done with Batuk Bhairav's 108 names or the 1008-name sahasranamavali, following the hawan vidhi taught separately on the channel. For the main Ahuti, after Bhairav's opening offerings, the ordinary samagri is mixed with honey and Panchmeva for a nourishing hawan; after the full offerings by the 108 or 1008 names comes the Purnahuti. Then Tarpana and Marjan are done with the first name alone — for instance 'Batuk Bhairavaya namah' — 108 tarpan and 10 marjan if 1,000 ahutis were given. With this the kavach is siddha.
Which Bhairav practice is the first grade for an ordinary worshipper?
The Ashtottara Shatanama of Bhagavan Batuk Bhairav is in itself an extremely prachand and tantrokta vidhan, with many matters of srishti karma and samhara karma through which tantric prayogas are performed. Its mool path alone is the first grade for you in the puja of Bhairav ji. Do its purashcharan: a mahapurashcharan is of 40000.
What if one cannot do the full 40000 paths of the Batuk Bhairav Shatanama?
If you cannot do 40000, then do 21 paths a day, or 100 paths — as much as your capacity allows. You may begin the Shatanama from the day of Batuk Bhairav Jayanti itself. Its mahima is endless, and the beginning of Bhairav worship is from here: the very first prayoga has to be done with this.
Should one set an upper limit on the number of paths?
Never apply the rule that we will do only 100 paths, only 1000, only 11000, only three months — no. Do as much as possible. If you master only this, there is in it a way out of bhoot, pret, pishaach, nazar, drishti and shatru badha, and of obstacles to wealth, of a job not coming, of the ill effects of Rahu, Ketu, Shani and cruel grahas, and of the durayoga of the marakesh.
Which samidha is best for the Bhairav havan, and how many ahutis?
The most excellent samidha is the wood of apamarg, or else the wood of khair; a Bhairav havan performed over khair wood has the most divine effect. Establish Agni Devata in the kund according to vidhi over the khair samidha, and if you have done 100 paths of the stotra Shatanama, give ten ahutis with each name — that is, a thousand ahutis. With 108 names it works out to about 1188 ahutis.
What is Bhairav's specific role in such a prayoga, and how much path daily?
Bhairav ji's use here is to destroy all those anishtakarak shaktis which are behind you and want you not to prosper, so that there is divine cooperation on the path of your purusharth. Daily do at least 27 paths of Batuk Bhairav's stotra Shatanama, and if you have the time, can sit and have memorised it, then comfortably do at least 100 — a maximum of an hour and a half.
Should viniyoga and nyasa be done with the Shatanama path?
Only the mool path is to be done. Those who wear the yajnopavita may do the procedure of viniyoga, nyasa and the rest; otherwise do the mool path straight. Do dhyana of Batuk Bhairav and begin the mool path. The mool path runs to the 108 names — that much only; the phalashruti is not to be read every time.
Should nyasa be done with the 108 names?
To a listener doing the 108 names, he says: do the nyasa along with it only if you wear the yajnopavita and the rest; otherwise do it just as it is and you will get the full benefit — do not be troubled. To Punya Singh ji he says the Mahabhairav may absolutely be done, and it will also be proper after 2:00; do it at any time of the whole day, there is no difficulty.
If there is a pret in the house, may the 108 names be done?
Asked whether, if there is a pret in the house, japa of Batuk Bhairav ji's 108 names should be done, he answers: absolutely do it, do it thoroughly hard.
The stotra-satnam of Batuk Bhairav protects the whole body and makes the ten directions open a protective path.
After that, going forward, the stotra-satnam of Batuk Bhairav ji at the least — so that our body is entirely protected, so that the ten directions open a path for us, a protective path, so that whatever energy comes to us as we advance on the sadhana path performs only our welfare and no harm of any kind is done.
Khair wood joins the apamarg for a Bhairav prayoga, the abhimantran and material otherwise unchanged.
In exactly the same way, if the listener is making Bhairav ji's prayoga — having done Bhairav ji's ashtottara satnam, or using the Batuk Bhairav Brahma Kavach — the whole abhimantran will be by this same vidhi and the material also will be the same, but for the samidha he should use khair wood. Let khair wood and apamarg wood both be used, he says, and let the listener perform this vidhan.
No havan at all: red chirmi and yellow mustard powdered in a brass bowl, charged 108 times with the ashtottara satnam, the moonj kusha touching it throughout.
If you have made use of Batuk Bhairav ji's mantra and have used khair wood, he says, that is for the dhoop — he is discussing no havan at all, nothing special, only the simple thing: red chirmi and yellow mustard made into a powder, kept in a brass plate or bowl, and, seated on your asana having done everything according to vidhi, charged with Batuk Bhairav ji's ashtottara satnam by taking the moonj kusha and touching it while reciting, 108 times.
How many Satnam paths are needed before a tantra prayoga is cut?
The speaker says that when you do the path of anything at all, take a sankalpa of 1100 — that is, of eleven days — and do 108 paths daily. Having done it once, a reduction in the effect will certainly come, however great the tantra may be; and if you do the japa again and again, the cutting will happen. It is not necessary that it be done at one attempt or at two: that will depend on the rules you are keeping and the manner in which you are doing your path and puja. For you it may happen at two attempts, for someone else at three. He adds that the vidhan of Bhairav's 108 names will be given on Kaal Bhairav Ashtami.
The Aapada Uddharak Batuk Bhairav Ashtottar Satnam suits a beginner best — with its two or three nyasa procedures left out at first.
The Aapada Uddharak Batuk Bhairav Ashtottar Satnam Stotra is the most exact for a beginning practitioner. It carries two or three Nyasa procedures — do not attempt them at the start. Do the Viniyoga simply and recite the 108 names, before an installed Trishul or a picture of Batuk Bhairav.
Should the Nyasa be done for the Batuk Bhairav Ashtottar Satnam?
Perform only the Viniyoga to begin with. The full procedure is given in the Purva Pithika, but do the Nyasa only after you have completed 1100. Nyasa, the speaker adds, is not needed by everybody.
May the Pranav be uttered at the start and end of the Batuk Bhairav Ashtottar Satnam?
Yes, do it. And in the Viniyoga of the Datta Mala Mantra, saying "Datta Devata Prityarthe Kripa Prapti" is not necessary — say that in the Sankalpa instead.
What is recited for Bhairav ji, and what about the pranava?
After that comes the stotra and satnamavali of Bhairav ji. Everywhere in it the tantric pranavas have been written in, so the problem of whether to say Om or not no longer stands before you: Om is written there, so pronounce that and comfortably recite all the names, the full 108 names of Batuk Bhairava ji. A purashcharan of these also exists, he says, but since Shiva ji is the main work now, their recitation will certainly be done.
Is it good to recite the Batuk Bhairav satnamavali when leaving the threshold?
A listener says she recites the Batuk Bhairav satnamavali at the time of going out from the threshold. He answers: absolutely do it, it is very good.
Which mool mantra of Batuk Bhairav precedes the Bhairav Namavali?
Asked whether the twenty-one-syllable or the twenty-two-syllable mantra, or some other, should be recited before the Bhairav Namavali, he asks in return which Bhairav Namavali is being done — that of the Kaal Sankarshan Tantra, of the Rudrayamal, of the Bhairav Yamal, of the Devi Yamal. According to whichever it is, the mantra also changes; the Kaal Sankarshan one will be different, the Rudrayamal one different, and all the remaining tantras have their own separate ones.
Where no one can be found, the Tandav stotra of Kshetrapal Bhairav and Vatuk Bhairav's hundred and eight names
If you wish to gain control over it yourself and truly no one is to be found, then the Tandav stotra of Kshetrapal Bhairav — "यम यम यम यक्ष रूपम", this whole stotra — download it as a PDF from the internet, learn to sing it, and have it recited before that person, along with the Ashtottar stotra which is the hundred and eight names of Vatuk Bhairav; have the paath of both of these done.
The nightly path is done in red vastra on a red asana, with two lamps and three preliminary paths.
First remember the guru. It is most excellent if done wearing red vastra and a red asana. Two lamps will be lit, with red wicks in them: one will be of mustard oil in the name of Batuk Bhairav ji, and the second a ghee lamp in the name of Bhagwati. Sit facing east or north, wearing red cloth. First do guru smaran, then path of the Sankat Nashan Ganapati, then path of the 108 names of Bhairav ji — let these three paths happen at the beginning.
How many paths of the Kaal Sankarshan tantrokta stotra should be done?
For the Kaal Sankarshan tantrokta he cannot say anything, he answers, because the same matter will arise again: there is a beej mantra in it too, the mool beej given within it. And attend to this — on separating them out, there are not 108 names, only 105. If you get the mool stotra you will find 108 in it: the Kaal Sankarshan tantrokta Batuk Bhairav stotra. Read it once and see; it will be only 105. If you have the mool book, the mool grantha, you will find 108 in it. Otherwise it is called ashtottara, but three names are found short there. And since the mool mantra and all the rest is given in it, guru kripa becomes necessary there.
Which Bhairav sadhana can a listener begin with?
Begin from here, he tells a questioner: either do the sadhana of the Mahabhairav mantra, or do the Ashtottara Satnaam sadhana which is recorded and will be uploaded the next morning. Those in greater difficulty may also do the Bhairav Hriday, and it will be good.
The Bhairav Namavali tantrokta anushthan vidhi will be released the next day along with its PDF.
The vidhi of the Bhairav Namavali tantrokta anushthan, the speaker says, will absolutely be available along with the PDF the very next day.
Does the pratyakshikaran of Batuk Bhairav's 108 names take six months?
No, the speaker answers — do it now and it will happen now. As soon as the 108 names are completed, as soon as you read the last name, Bhairav ji will manifest before you and say, ask, child, what boon do you seek. Whether you will hear it or see it, he says, he does not know; but the moment you read the 108 names he will become pratyaksha. The rest is your own capacity, whether you can speak with him or not.
What anushthan should be done for a false court case?
With the vidhan of the Batuk Bhairav Ashtottara Satnamavali being posted the next day, perform the anushthan for 11 days; or else from Kaal Bhairav Ashtami, that is from 16 November to 23 November, and on the last day perform the Kshetrapal pujan and havan of Bhairav ji as the vidhan will state. Some path or other will open for you quickly. He gives the same answer to a listener whose brother is not getting bail in a false case in which the in-laws have brought a charge of dowry death.
Can Bhairav havan be done monthly while performing Hanuman mantra siddhi?
Absolutely, it can be done, the speaker answers. To Ashish Patel ji, who writes that there has been pret badha in his house for twenty years, he says that the Batuk Bhairav Ashtottara Satnamavali will be posted on the channel the next day, and if he wishes to do it at the present time, he should begin its anushthan at home from 16 November.
