One each to Dattatreya, Anagha Lakshmi, the Kuldevi and Kula Bhairava, with two set to the rear

Why is worshipping graves (Mazars) on Thursday contrary to Sanatana Dharma?
Thursday is sacred to Lord Dattatreya, so worshipping spirits, graves, or unscriptural entities on that day is contrary to Sanatana Dharma — such unscriptural worship feeds low astral and ghostly energies (Pretas and Pishachas).
Two lamps and the first-day pujan in the Datta ekakshari anushthan
The speaker says a ghee lamp is best in this sadhana, and every person should light two: one in the name of Bhagavan Dattatreya and the second in the name of his mahashakti, Bhagavati Anagha Lakshmi. The pujan is done at the beginning, on the first day; for it he points to the general shodashopachar pujan vidhi given in his dev deeksha video, linked in the description. After that the japa begins.
Anagha Lakshmi, Dattatreya's consort shakti, worshipped alongside him
The speaker says Lord Dattatreya is the gathered form of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh in whom all shaktis reside, and that his Mahayoga Shakti, his Vamangi shakti, is Bhagwati Anagha Lakshmi. He says that whenever any Mahashakti is worshipped, her paired (yugal) form must also be worshipped, so doing archana or Tarpana of Anagha Lakshmi through her 101 names alongside Dattatreya's worship brings her special grace. If one is doing 100 Mala of any Dattatreya mantra, reciting her 101 names with it gives that special grace.
Regular archana of Anagha Lakshmi with her 101 names: for money trouble and on Krishna Paksha Ashtami
The speaker says that where a money problem is very severe, doing archana of Bhagwati Anagha Lakshmi with Kumkum through her 101 names, just once each morning for at least four months, brings her special grace quickly. Separately, he says those who regularly do Lord Dutt's seva-puja and keep vrats like the Anagha Lakshmi vrat are certain to receive her grace if they do archana with these mantras every month on Krishna Paksha Ashtami.
Silver Shri beej prayoga of Anagha Lakshmi for wealth
The speaker describes a vidhan he calls a great boon for Dattatreya sadhaks, though anyone may use it. Lakshmi's beej akshar Shri is made in silver; on Anagha Lakshmi Ashtami (the Ashtami after Dattatreya Jayanti in Margashirsha), or in a crisis on any Krishna Paksha Ashtami, it is placed on a plate, treated as Bhagwati's own form, worshipped with Kumkum through her names, shown Aarti, and kept where the household money is stored. From that Ashtami on, every day it is brought back to the puja place, worshipped again with kumkum 108 times or with 101 mantras, and returned to the money place, with red and yellow flowers always offered. Done this way, he says, her special grace is certain, especially for money problems.
Who the Anagha Bel-tree tarpan is for: a deceased woman of the household who troubles the family
The speaker says that if a woman of the household has died, especially an untimely (Akala Mrityu) death, and is troubling the family badly, whatever form she has taken, called Pitrani (as in Rajasthan) or dakini, and a dosha connected with her is present, Bhagwati's 101 names are used for Tarpana on a Bilva tree. He gives the case of a man whose mother was murdered and now troubles them, with no means yet for Narayana Bali: this tarpan is the option there, and within three to four days, by a week, that shakti's fierceness eases and she becomes gentle. It can also be used when she is troubling small children.
Bel-tree tarpan vidhan with the 101 names of Anagha Lakshmi
The speaker says the Tarpana is done with Ganga water on the trunk of a Bilva tree, standing at it or sitting beneath it; the tree must be a worshipped one, best of all inside a temple, and never in a deserted (nirjan) place. A brass lota is filled with water and a little honey and black sesame are added. Three betel leaves (stem broken off, tip intact) are held together; a Sankalpa is spoken naming the deceased woman of the house, a ghee lamp is lit on flowers, not on bare ground, and Bhagwati is asked to satisfy and calm her and to give the family the strength to arrange Narayana Bali for her mukti. The leaves are put into the vessel and water is poured on the tree with each of the 101 names, saying 'tarpayami namah'. The leaf and the leftover water are brought home and sprinkled through the house, especially at the main door.
Special cases for the Bel-tree tarpan: a girl who died young, or a lost pregnancy or child
The speaker says that if a girl of the house, say between three and thirteen years, who may have reached puberty, died an untimely (Akala Mrityu) death and is troubling the family badly, and no capable sadhak has been found to give her gati, nor is there money for special rites at Ganga, Prayag, Kashi or Gaya, then Tarpana on the Bilva tree with Bhagwati's form and these mantras can calm and soften her. He adds that parents whose pregnancy was lost or whose child died untimely suffer greatly, and they too may use this; by Bhagwati's grace the child is pacified.
Can pitrs give trouble to a daughter of the house?
Asked whether pitrs can give bodily trouble to a girl of the house as well: yes, absolutely they can. Especially when she is unmarried, a kunwari.
A whole video claims there is no shakti called Anagha Lakshmi and no post called Shankaracharya
The speaker says one gentleman has put out a whole video claiming that there is no shakti called Anagha Lakshmi, that there is no post called Shankaracharya, and that nobody has the right to be addressed as Shankaracharya.
Havan with Bhagavati Anagha in a Shakti kund when the family's root shakti is a form of Bhagavati
The speaker asks listeners to note that the havan in this case was performed together with Bhagavati Anagha, and that a Shakti kund was used, because the sadhak's household matter was different from the usual. The family's root shakti was, somewhere, a form of Bhagavati, and Bhagwan Datta, he says, must have been the chief power holding control over all of them, or related to their sampradaya, and was extending his grace. Many experiences along the way, he adds, he is skipping for a later live discussion.
What is seated inside the Damodara beejakshara?
Damodara is the sustaining form of Bhagavan Narayan, and in that form, in the measure of agni, the measure of brahma and the measure of the anga, Bhagavati Jagadamba Anagha Lakshmi herself is seated in the beejakshara. He is the sustainer and the maker of Shri, endowed with Shri; the agni beej is there to grant fire within the Shri; the "ra" sound is in the Rudra form; and as the anga above there is the "a" sound, the "ma" sound, or the "ga" sound, whichever you are to do japa in.
Whose grace is received in Bhagavan Datta's Damodara ekakshari mantra?
In it, the speaker says, you will receive the grace of four principal deities — Narayan, Bhagavati Anagha Lakshmi, Bhagavan Shri Rudra and Agni Devata. And whatever sankalpa you take in this, that alone will be fulfilled.
The Guru on the yellow heap, the Guru Mata on the red — Anagha Lakshmi as Guru Mata for Datta
The Guru on the yellow heap and the Guru Mata on the red. For those who performed Bhagavan Datta's Dev Deeksha Vidhan, the yellow heap with the large supari and a yellow Kalava wrap is for Bhagavan Datta as the Guru, and the red heap to its left, with a red Kalava, is for Ma Bhagavati Anagha Lakshmi as the Guru Mata.
