Where should the first Anushthan be performed when someone is under active black magic attack?
At the nearest accessible temple — never at home for the first attempt. Any protective Kavach or ritual (Bhairava, Batuk Bhairava, Dattatreya's Vajra Kavach, or a form of Jagdambika) should begin there, even with a modest count of 21 or 27 repetitions.
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.
How does a Vajra Panjar differ from a standard Kavach, and what protocol governs its practice?
A Panjar (protective cage/framework) is roughly ten times more powerful than a standard Kavach — while a Kavach repels or hurts an entity, a Vajra Panjar encircles, binds, and penalizes it from all directions, and must be practiced in a Shiva temple under strict celibacy, formal resolve, and fixed rules over an extended period.
