Kavach and vajra panjar for a home where badha stops all worship, siddh-ed in a Shiva temple
The speaker says that if the situation is such that you cannot do pujan at home and there is great unrest, you should awaken some mantra or tantrokta Kavach by doing its path for some days — at the least the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach, the Aghor Shiv kavach, the Indra Vajra kavach, the Indrakshi kavach, any kavach of Bhagavati Durga or of Kamakhya, or the Aprajita kavach; there are also stotras such as Vipreet Mahapratyangira and Maha-Vipreet, and the separate kavachas and vajra panjars of the Mahavidyas. A vajra Panjar has ten times the power of a kavach: panjar means the rib-cage, so it throws a full ring round the entity — a kavach only strikes, a vajra panjar binds and then strikes, so that it dares not return, and it can not only remove a pret badha but punish it. Any deity's vajra panjar, kavach or Mahavidya stuti should be understood properly and siddh-ed in a Shiva temple — with a Sankalpa, by vidhi-vidhan, keeping Brahmacharya and every rule, and never abandoned however great the obstruction or pain — in the temple, not at home. After a fixed time a shakti comes, or guidance comes, by which the badhas are pressed down; done only at home, it will be of no use if the badha is big.
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.
Where is it stated in scripture that pret and pishach are Hanuman ji's asana?
If you want to know this better and it feels to you that it is made up, the speaker says, recite the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach: in it there is a symbolic description of this, that Hanuman ji is upon the pretasan. Or recite the Hanumat Sahasranama, and you will find this thing in four or five places. Hanuman ji is upon the pret and pishach — that itself is his asana, and he sits upon it.
What is the havan vidhan for the five forms of the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach?
Each will have its own separate form and mantra, the speaker says. Beyond their dhyana mantra, the mantras of the five forms have been given, and you can do havan with those.
Is the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach harmful in a house where a Brahm is worshipped?
Asked whether, if a Brahm is worshipped at home, the recitation of the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach is also harmful, the speaker replies with a question of his own: which Brahm is worshipped? Brahm are of fifty-two kinds. He asks the questioner which region he is from and under which vachan the Brahm is worshipped in his house.
When does the Hanuman sadhana begin, and which Kavach should be used?
From the Purnima tithi falling in Chaitra — Hanuman Jayanti — and running Purnima to Purnima, at least a month. Use either the Ekmukhi or the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach; where the house has a Pret or Pishach related fault, use the Panchmukhi.
Which deities are prescribed for a house under uchchatan?
When the matter has reached that state, the speaker says, take the mantra of the fierce deities — whether Hanuman ji's Batvanar, or the kavach of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji, or the stotra and Satnam of Batuk Bhairav ji, or the paath and process of Mahabhairav ji — and any one of these, even if only for a week, awaken it or make it siddh, sitting first in a Shiva temple or in a Bhagavati temple.
Can the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach be made siddh in an abhichar-afflicted house?
The speaker says it depends on how bad the situation in the house is. If there is already upheaval and you begin the Kavach, the upheaval will increase and you will conclude the kavach made things worse. The reality is that the afflicting shakti gets disturbed by your paath while your own energy, being new to the practice, takes time to reach that level — so it disturbs you in return. Those afflicted by Abhichara who want to make bajrang-baan or the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach siddh, or do its anushthan or purashcharan, should best do it outside the house, in a Hanuman temple.
The Chandi Kavach, Bhadrakali's veer kavach, Shiva's Aghor kavach, Virabhadra's and Panchmukhi Hanuman's
He says that in earlier times, what used to happen was that the brave warriors who went into the army had that very nyasa performed upon them for the sake of obtaining victory in war. In the same manner, he says, take the Chandi Kavach in the Shri Durga Saptashati and the like, the veer kavach of Bhagavati Bhadrakali, the Aghor kavach of Bhagavan Shiva, the raksha-granting kavach of Bhagavan Virabhadra, the kavach of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji — all these kavachas endowed with fierceness. The nyasa of all these kavachas: nyasa of the kavach here means the nyasa of the whole kavach.
Why a sadhana is kept secret: ten opinions rule out every kavach
The speaker says this is exactly why one is told to keep a sadhana secret: people make noise and take decisions from ten places. He acts out the chain — some baba said the Hanuman Chalisa gives results; someone else says the Chalisa can do nothing, 'we did it ten years, nothing happened, nothing will happen for you either'; the bajrang-baan should not be done because Hanuman ji gets angry; durga-kavach and Chandi Kavach must not be done because Bhairav ji gets bound in it, though it is the Devi herself who speaks of binding Bhairav; Kamakhya Kavach — 'Kamakhya is not worshipped at home, which fool told you to do it'; Bairi Nashan or Kalika Kavach — 'no, no, far too ugra a shakti'; Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach — 'you would have to keep Brahmacharya and stay completely pure, not possible, how can we live without thinking wrongly about girls' — and so no kavach can be done at all. He calls that condition pitiable, lower than an animal: a person who cannot keep his mental state pure, cannot hold himself steady in one place, has no control over himself, and then casts aspersions on the devi-devatas. His closing charge: where you are protected and where you are not is a churning to hold within yourself — how you will guard against tantrik attack, which Kavach you will accomplish, with what vidhi and which rules, and who makes you negative, outsiders, insiders or you yourself; decide by self-churning, look within before blaming others, walk the path, and neither make others negative nor become negative yourself.
What should be known before the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach sadhana and havan?
He says it plainly: the mantra is very ugra. And as much ugrata as there is, expect that much testing as well. The greatest matter is that people become afraid. They ask for the sadhana and he posts it; afterwards such experiences come that he himself laughs. On the first day of the sadhana they will be frightened — but one is not to be frightened. The mool mantra of Panchmukhi Hanuman is exceedingly ugra.
What should a family being harmed by a Tantrik do?
First be initiated in a tradition, then take the refuge of your own Aradhya. If your reverence is toward Hanuman ji, take the shelter of the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach — it will tear the enemies apart. Do the Purashcharan of eleven thousand at a Hanuman temple, not at home.
Which mantras are the prayogik shatkarma ones?
Apart from the beej mantras of gods and goddesses there are beej mantras belonging to the shatkarma. He gives the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach as the example: an independent mantra comes in it which is also recited separately, and inside the kavach itself there is a mantra in which, for maran prayoga against an enemy, beejas such as khem khem are used, and for stambhan the word stambh stambh followed by thah thah.
Who is the rishi of the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach?
The speaker says that when you go inside tantra you will see many such subjects. Read the kavach of Panchmukhi Hanuman, read the kavach of Saptamukhi Hanuman. In tantra it is described that the sadhana of Panchmukhi Hanuman was performed by Bhagavan Shri Ramchandra ji; and when you do the nyasa and viniyoga of the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach, there too you will read Ramchandra rishi — that is, the making of that kavach and its first recitation, siddhi and grace were done first of all by Bhagavan Ramchandra. Consider, he says: he whose aradhya Rama is — Rama himself did the sadhana of that form so that friendship with Hanuman ji might be established, and that is the description.
