Hanuman worship through Chaitra Navratri, Pratipada to Chaitra Purnima
The speaker says every home must worship Hanuman in chaitra-navratri, daily from Pratipada up to Chaitra Purnima, which is Hanuman Jayanti; this brings many benefits, and worshipping him with a proper vidhi for one wish brings many more. The ways he gives, from simplest up: reciting Hanuman Chalisa, which is enough if that is all one does, but must be done; the Havan of the Chalisa by the vidhi he has taught; archana with his 108 names using flowers or tulsi leaves, two or three minutes, which pleases him greatly; and for a wish, archana with his Sahasranama from Pratipada to Purnima, which he says Hanuman certainly fulfils. If Bhagavati Anjani, his mother, is worshipped and remembered alongside, nothing can stop the work from being done, since mother and son are both being served.
What should be done when a paath stops bearing fruit?
He says that when it feels that our paath is no longer bearing fruit in that way, then at once do the abhishek vidhi related to Shiva ji; and if you are doing Hanuman ji's, then do japa of Bhagwan Shri Sitaram ji to the best of your capacity, or the paath of a kavach related to them. Or, if you are doing Hanuman ji's, do the paath related to his mother Bhagavati Anjana, so that this bandhan dosha is cut at once and the effect begins again.
What sankalp should be taken before the samputit path?
Take this in the sankalp, he says: whatever kinds of tantra are in this house, whatever prets and pishachs are in this house, however powerful they may be — O Hanuman ji, O Pavan Putra, O son of Anjani, I take the sankalp of reciting the whole Hanuman Chalisa with the samputikaran of one chaupai composed by your supreme devotee Goswami Tulsi ji Maharaj, भूत पिशाच निकट नहीं आवे महावीर जब नाम सुनावे. Destroy all the prets and pishachs in my house, family, place and dwelling; remove them from here. For this purpose I take the sankalp of reciting your path.
May a murti of Hanuman ji in his child form be kept?
Asked whether a murti of Hanuman ji's baal swaroop can be kept, he says: keep it, brother — nowadays people are keeping everything, you can keep it, if your bhavana is in that form. For baal Hanuman ji you may keep it; keep his murti along with Maa Anjana.
Should the sindoor from Hanuman's feet be put on one's own forehead?
Those upon whom the prayoga of tantra has been done should apply it, ordinarily. And otherwise, in the name of Ma Anjana — if a woman has a great wish for it, she may bring sindoor kept near Hanuman and apply it; and if a married woman is under a tantra prayoga she too may apply it. Hanuman will protect. Ordinarily it is in the name of Bhagavati Anjana Maiya.
