First anushthan under black magic: at the nearest temple, never at home
The speaker's first task: whatever anushthan is taken up — Bhairava, Mahabhairav, Batuk Bhairava, Dattatreya's Vajra Panjara Kavach or Vajra Kavach, or any Kavach of the shaktis of Jagdambika — it must never be done at home the first time. It is to be done at the temple nearest the house where one can sit and do path. The count may be kept low, 21 or 27, and raised once practice sets in, but in the earliest period nothing at all is to be done at home.
What does the Sri Dattatreya Vajra Panjara Stotra protect, and how is it recited using the Samputa method?
It armors all three bodies — the Causal, Subtle, and Gross bodies — and is recited by encasing (Samputita) each verse with the awakened Ekakshari Beeja Mantra, chanted twice before and twice after each verse.
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.
Foundation before a Vajra Panjar Kavach samput prayog: Datta diksha, an awakened Ekakshari mantra and an awakened kavach
The speaker says the samput is never applied straight away. In the Kanpur case the sadhak first completed Bhagavan Dattatreya's diksha vidhan, then a four-lakh purashcharan of the Datta Ekakshari mantra in a Shiva temple, and then a one-mandal anushthan of the Vajra Panjar Kavach — 4100 paths over 41 days, 108 a day split between morning and evening, done in the temple from four in the morning. As the general rule he says: before the prayog, awaken the Ekakshari mantra and do at least 1100 paths of the kavach — 11 days if 41 are not possible — with Datta puja, a havan and feeding brahmans or a sadhu, so that the kavach is awakened.
Vajra Panjar Kavach samput prayog with the Ekakshari beej to destroy abhichar and kritya on a family
The speaker describes the prayog done in the Kanpur case in a Shiva temple: a sankalp that through this samput path of the Vajra Panjar Kavach every abhicharik act and kritya prayog done on the sadhak and his family be destroyed and they be protected. The purva pithika, viniyog, nyas, dhyan and mantra are read once, panchopachar or manasopachar puja is done, and from where the kavach itself begins each shloka is wrapped with Pranav followed by the Ekakshari beej — "Om Draam" before the verse and "Draam" after it, which he demonstrates on the first three verses. At least 27 such paths are done, up to where the kavach speaks of protection, leaving out the phalashruti. He says the prayog ran eleven days, relief came at once, and the child's chronic stomach pain eased from the first day and was normal by the third or fourth; a Dattatreya mala mantra prayog followed, which he keeps for another video.
Griha bandhan with the samputed Vajra Panjar Kavach: 108 paths at home, seven days of Datta havan and kshetrapal nikari
After the family got relief, the speaker says, the prayog was started in the house itself for binding it: with a sankalp for griha bandhan, 108 samput paths of the same kavach were done at home, along with a havan of 108 ahutis with the Ekakshari mantra and Bhagavan Dattatreya's naam mantra, run for a full week, all seven days. With this the house became completely protected; the process of kshetrapal nikari and the like was also done. He calls the whole vidhan very simple, with nothing complicated in it — done slowly, it gives you the capacity and gets done.
Thursdays given to Bhagavan Datta for family protection: kavach or mala mantra path, puja, deepdan, and his temple instead of a mazar or dargah
The speaker asks everyone, for the protection of their family, to do at least this every Thursday: a path of the Dattatreya Vajra Panjar Kavach, or of his mala mantra, or his ordinary puja, or — if the problem is bigger — the deepdan vidhi, Thursday after Thursday. On Thursdays never go to any mulla, mazar, dargah or the place of any peer-fakir; go to a Datta temple, and if there is none, do his puja at home, remember him and invoke him. Reading the kavach in Hindi, he says, shows how fast Datta comes on mere remembrance; give one day of the week to this Mahaguru of the guru tradition and it brings welfare to you and your family, never harm.
The sequence opens with Bhagwan Dattatreya as guru, using his Vajra Panjar Kavach, his mala mantra, or the Dvadash Stambh.
He begins with Bhagwan Dattatreya, the guru, since their whole sequence runs from the beginning. The discussion will be on three things: if the listener has ever performed an anushthan of Bhagwan Datta's Vajra Panjar Kavach, or of his mala mantra, or the third — his Dvadash Stambh, which they have given on the channel.
Mahasharanagati to the mahaguru among gurus, in whom Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh all stand
He says to take mahasharanagati entirely without anxiety: Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, all three capable shaktis, are with him; he is the root of all, the mahaguru among gurus. If you have desire in material life, he is a giver of materiality too, and he says again and again that by mere remembrance he is a shakti that stands by you. Bhagwan Dattatreya has the capacity to give more than you can think of — read his Vajra Panjar and you will know what his capacity is.
Can the Durga Vajra Panjar be done in daily sadhana?
Asked whether the Vajra Panjar of Durga can be done in daily sadhana, the speaker answers that it can be done.
What is the true story about the Vajra Panjar kavach?
A true incident was put on the Grihastha Tantra website in two parts a few days earlier, about the Vajra Panjar kavach of Bhagavan Datta, the speaker says; it takes ten minutes to read. Its whole essence is this: a boy of fifteen or sixteen, upon whom an abhicharik condition was created and a ghat took place — and then, for his protection, the avesh of a shakti of the Kashi region, who comes among the ganas of Bhagavan Datta, took place upon him. But first there had been a pishaach.
Japa done at the sthan of Bhagavan Datta near the Manikarnika ghat is taken as the worked example of japa at Kashi.
Let us understand it from the beginning, he says. Suppose we went into the Kashi region — whether at a parva kaal or otherwise — and sat at the place near the Manikarnika ghat where the sthan of Bhagavan Datta is, and there did japa of mantras, recited the Vajra Panjar kavach of Bhagavan Datta, did the path and japa of his mala mantra, for one day, two days, ten days, forty-one days, as much as was in our capacity, in a fixed number — saying that here we are doing at least one hundred and eight recitations of the kavach itself. We did our karma.
The Vajra Panjar kavach and the Dattatreya mala mantra, with their vidhi vidhan and many posted experiences, are already available.
You know the Vajra Panjar kavach, the vajra kavach of Bhagavan Datta, and you know its mahima, the speaker says. You know the Dattatreya mala mantra and know its vidhi vidhan; and many experiences of it are lying posted on the channel — you know that too.
The three-month Dattatreya anushthan: four lakh ekakshari, 11,000 Vajra Panjar Kavach, 11,000 mala mantra
The speaker says that when the sadhak moved to the other place he was given four lakh japa of Bhagwan Datta's ekakshari, separately at least 11,000 of Datta's Vajra Panjar Kavach — "not one less", the speaker told him — and then 11,000 of the Datta mala mantra. He completed all of it very well within three months; the havan vidhi had been explained to him.
What should be recited while performing the abhishek of a yantra?
For Bhagwan Datt, he says, you will be reciting his Vajra Panjar kavach, his mala mantra, his stotra and satnamavali. Recite these and perform the abhishek at the same time; or commit the stotra and satnamavali or the stotra to memory and perform the abhishek while reciting it or doing japa, with more than one repetition.
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.
Can Bhagavan Dattatreya's Vajra Kavach be recited for self-protection?
Certainly, he says — the Vajra Panjar Kavach, the Vajra Kavach, Dattatreya Vajra: the paath of all these can be done. The vidhan of the purashcharan and so on he will have to tell separately; or you may look in the phalashruti and do it accordingly.
