Sealing a cleared house: havan, Kshetrapal nikari, Jayanti Mangala bandhan, Argala ahutis and consecrated nails
The speaker says that once the disturbance had stopped, an auspicious time came in which the most special procedures were done by the family. The full method of a Havan was explained to them item by item and they performed it themselves; a Kshetrapala Nikari was done; then the house was bound using the Jayanti Mangala Kali mantra itself; the house was secured with ahutis given with the first mantra of the Argala Stotra; and with the same, nails were consecrated and driven in. He does not claim an old problem can be solved by such simple means, but says these new Sadhaks worked very hard and as a result their family is safe today.
How can a household resolve severe black magic (Abhichara) affecting the family?
Perform repeated field-protector offerings (Kshetrapal Nikari) — this offers sacrifice to all lingering spirits and entities through Kshetrapal Bhairav, pacifying them.
Daily lamps at the kshetrapal temple: why the regional guardian must be approached
The speaker's second task: path alone is not enough; one must go regularly to the temple of the area's Kshetrapal, Gram Devta or gram devi. His reason: those doing Abhichara cannot act without the kshetra rakshak — they always give worship to the gram devta, Dih Baba and kshetrapal — so approaching the same deity puts a block in place against the enemy. If the guardian is unknown, the oldest temple in the village or city is taken as that seat. There, every day, two medium atta-deepak lamps of mustard oil: one for the temple's guardian, one for the family's protecting shaktis (Kuldevi or Kuldevta, known or not), with a prayer for the home's protection.
Two evening lamps at the main door: kul rakshak Bhairav and kshetrapal Bhairav
The speaker's third task: in the evening, light two lamps at the Chaukhat by the main door — or on both sides of the door if there is no threshold. One is in the name of the kul rakshak, the family's guardian Bhairava; the other in the name of Kshetrapal Bhairav. Direction does not matter, but whichever side carries which name on the first day must carry the same name every day after. The purpose, he says, is that these shaktis begin to move over the home's threshold.
Where does Lord Bhairava serve as Kshetrapala (protector)?
He is the designated protector across major divine centers, including Kashi (as Kala Bhairava / Dandapani) and Jagannath Puri (safeguarding the Mandapam during the Rath Yatra).
Precaution: Devi Suktam prayoga is not for small matters; 40,000 recitations in a lifetime
The speaker cautions that the Tantrokta Devisuktam should not be used as a prayoga without cause — recite it and obtain Bhagavati's grace, but do not deploy it over some small matter when you get stuck. He then says that if you complete 40,000 recitations of all these mantras in your life, Bhagavati's Yoginis, her shaktis, her Paricharikas and the Kshetrapals all become gracious to you and no one can harm you; the effect of the Phalashruti given in the Lalita Sahasranama is obtained through this. He offers this as the path for those who cannot do more and are not initiated (Diksha).
Pret-pishach disturbance after a deity is bound: Bajrang Baan and Mahabhairav havan on apamarg wood
If after the binding a paishachik obstruction has been set up in the house — pret and pishach running riot where the household deities used to be — the speaker says one should do havan-type prayogas at that very spot. Recite the bajrang-baan daily; if you do 21 recitations, do havan with at least 3 of them on apamarg wood. If you recite Bhairava ji, Mahabhairav is the most unfailing: do at least 5 recitations and havan with 1 of them in the evening. With havan of these — Hanuman Chalisa included — this bandhan will be cut and the bhoot-pret obstruction will lift; use Kshetrapal nikaya prayogas alongside. A knowledgeable helper is best, but he says people are often not satisfied with one today, and you can do this yourself and free your kul deities and get your puja through to them. This, he says, is the simple vidhan.
Under one roof the Kuladevata, Pitrus, Dwarapala and Kshetrapala are shared, and the attacker binds or turns them
When both parties reside in the same dwelling, the household deities, ancestral spirits, threshold guardian, and territorial guardian are all shared — through specific occult procedures, the attacker often binds or turns these subtle household energies against the victim.
The oldest temple of the locality, flour lamps in mustard oil named for each family member, and the Dadhi-Mamsa Bali
Identify and visit the oldest, most prominent ancient temple in the locality regularly; light individually named flour lamps in mustard oil, bathe the Shiva Lingam with sweetened water if present, and perform the Kshetrapala Nikari dispersal ritual with the traditional Dadhi-Mamsa Bali offering.
Appeals must stay Dharma-yukta, and deities bound by Dharma eventually withdraw support from the unethical perpetrator
Deities are bound by cosmic order (Dharma) — appeals must adhere strictly to ethical, Dharma-yukta invocations, and when an innocent person appeals with pure intent and moral uprightness, the deities eventually withdraw support from the unethical perpetrator.
What should be done when insects keep appearing in stored grain?
Check first for an ordinary cause — moisture will do it, though dry grain infesting means there is a source somewhere. If it does look like a Preta or Pishach matter, have Kshetrapal Nikari done on five Tuesdays and five Sundays by a male of the house, with an Apamarg-wood dhuna.
What breaks the thread of an abhichar already in place?
If the state of abhichar is already present, then when you perform yam deep daan there and make the nikari for the kshetrapal and others, whatever maya they have is broken by it; whatever path has been made for the purpose of the abhichar breaks, that thread breaks, and after that they keep growing weaker. After this, though, you should do your own anushthan.
What should be done if abhichar strikes and you have never done any sadhana?
Suppose a prayoga of abhichar has fallen on someone, someone's health has deteriorated, you are now realising it is an abhicharik state, and you have done nothing so far — no siddha mantra, no japa, nothing. In such a state kshetrapal nikali is the best. When you take out naivedya and the rest in the ordinary way for the kshetrapal — there is a video on the channel — a great deal of relief comes; at the very least the abhicharik shakti immediately goes back, and no dosha attaches to it either.
What may be done instead of the khappar utarna vidhi?
Offer the khappar — keep the method of offering as much as has been given, the speaker says. In the method of taking down, keep the utara of Kshetrapal and the rest, by which whatever possibility of a dosha attaching may arise is effaced, cut and removed. Do not do that from which the possibility of a dosha attaching is created. If you are not mature and no knowledgeable person is physically available to you, then do not do it.
May the fruit offered as Bali be eaten afterwards?
No — it is cut into four or eight pieces and fed to a cow. The Yoginis consume it, since the Bali becomes a symbol of blood; neither the offerer nor anyone else may eat it, and lemon offered as Bali must not be made into juice.
Why must the kshetra's Bhairav be worshipped before leaving?
Because when energy is obtained at that level, then as you relinquish that kshetra and come out of it, its imbalance begins. So whenever you have gone into any tirtha kshetra and done japa there, you should certainly perform the pujan of that tirtha's Bhairav again at the end, obtain his adesh, and only then leave — so that he keeps with you only as much energy as you can handle, and the rest stays with him, to be obtained whenever you invoke it at need.
What is the rule of order at Kamakhya?
The rule of the Kamakhya kshetra is that you take darshan of Umananda Bhairav ji first, and then, ascending the Nilanchal, take darshan of Bhagavati. Umananda Bhairav, then Pandu ji — Pandu, who is Bhagavan Narayana, where the creation began after the slaying of Madhu and Kaitabh — and after that, ascending the Nilanchal, you take darshan of Bhagavati.
What is done on the way out of Kamakhya?
When you have done japa there in this manner, then on the way back you need not go to Umananda Bhairav ji again; but present yourself in the main Kamakhya kshetra near the Saubhagya Kund, make a sankalp in his name, do japa for two, four or five minutes, do japa of his nama mantra, offer flowers into this kund, and make pranam — that, Prabhu, we are now going from this kshetra to our own place; grace us that our japa may stay successful and our life be successful. He will balance it.
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.
Remove such a situation first by the Kshetrapal pujan told for the home.
Answering Akash Vishwakarma ji, the speaker says that if such a situation is forming, then first of all do the Kshetrapal pujan by the vidhi told for the home and remove it; and on the day of Amavasya and Purnima do a sukshma havan — a small havan by the vidhi on the channel, with the Jayanti Mangala Kali mantra, with ghee and guggul.
Things went right earlier while the Bhairav ji pujan was being done.
The Bhairav ji pujan he had begun was done in between and things were going all right, the speaker recalls. He tells Shivam ji to begin giving pujan at the Bhairav ji sthan they had searched out, which he himself had described, and to do the Bhairav path again.
What should be done when a family's own ancestors are turned against them?
The speaker calls this the most awkward case of all. First have the Kshetrapal worshipped in the name of the person responsible, then perform the eleventh-chapter practice throughout Shraddha Paksha, then the Dattatreya Tarpan at a Peepal or Banyan.
What must be done before the keelan of a house?
He says that whenever you perform keelan of the house, kshetrapal nikari beforehand is very necessary. If the problem in the house is very great, do the kshetrapal nikari at least five times. By its being done, whatever negative shaktis there are grow weaker little by little and go out.
What is the order of work on the day of the griha bandhan?
On the day you are to do the griha bandhan, he says, do kshetrapal nikari on that day too, and only after that bathe and make all the preparation for the griha bandhan. The keels are made abhimantrit first — a tridhatu keel, an iron keel, a silver keel, a copper keel, three kinds of keel made abhimantrit through havan and heated in fire and so awakened — and before fixing them, kshetrapal nikari is done first.
Who should do chauraha bandhan and gram devata kshetrapal pujan?
Asked about gram devata and kshetrapal pujan and chauraha bandhan, he says the process of chauraha bandhan and the like is something sadhaks have to do, when they perform some necessary particular work of that kind. Ordinary persons should avoid performing processes of this sort, and should do kshetrapal nikari directly.
Bhairav as Shiva's form, guardian of every Shakti Peeth, and a post rather than only a deity
The speaker says Bhagavan Bhairava is held to be the very form of Shiva; the authority to give danda was first given to Bhairav in the kshetra of Kashi; he is present for protection at every Shakti Peeth and is the gram devata and Kshetrapal. But Bhairav is not only a deity — as Indra is a post, so is Bhairav. In 98 percent of places Bhairav is Shiva's own form, but at a few tirthas and Shakti Peeths other deities stand in the form of Bhairav; Batuk Bhairava, the child form of Shiva, is everywhere and is Bhagavan Sadashiva.
What is the danger in doing the utara of a maran prayoga?
Somebody's own people have done a maran prayoga upon someone. A great many such prayogas of tantra happen. In that comes the subject that people say, yes, all right, this maran tantra prayoga has been done, subjects of this kind, and that it should be taken down — an utara is done. Even in doing the utara, the very ordinary utara of Kshetrapal and the like is a separate vidhi; but when the utara of a prayoga is done, then at that time it is very necessary to keep caution.
What else should be done to secure the house?
Keep your house and place bound. Keep the kavach and everything else worn, and only after that do pujan path and the rest. In between, go on doing havanatmak kriya, Kshetrapal pujan and the like.
If I did the Kshetrapal nikari this Tuesday, must I do it next Tuesday too?
Yes, absolutely it is to be done, he says. It is to be done on at least five Tuesdays.
Can the Kshetrapal nikari be done by itself?
Asked by Umashankar ji, who wants to begin from the initial vidhi from Kartik Shukla Chaturthi and also do the purnahuti and Kshetrapal nikari, how to do only the Kshetrapal nikari, he says: only the Kshetrapal nikari you can absolutely do. It should also be done after the havan. The subject of only the Kshetrapal nikari can absolutely be done just so; they are putting out a separate video on it.
Navarna japa calls for bali and naivedya for the yoginis and Kshetrapal pujan
After all the other faults, the speaker says, came the "bumper" fault of the Navarna case: the man never once offered Bali, bhog or Naivedya. The Navarna Mantra is a tantric mantra, he says; with its japa the Yoginis come, and they received no bali, no naivedya, no food at all. Nor was Kshetrapal ever worshipped. Navarna has great glory and all its rules; perform it without fully knowing them, and everything that happened in this case will happen.
Which shakti a wrong japa stirred is a separate diagnosis; mool mantra without kavach brings trouble
The speaker says he has discussed only the effect and ill-effect of the mantra in the Navarna case, that is, how it was chanted wrongly. Which shakti of the man's home was awakened by the wrong japa, what became Avesh-ed on his body, whether some shakti of the roads and ghats attached, whether a Kshetrapal Dosha or a dosha of Bhairav ji occurred, and what happened on account of which, is an entirely separate subject. He adds that many Sahasranamas and Kavach texts say that japa of the mool mantra without reciting the kavach brings such troubles, so that too is a related factor.
What should be done when unknown women and children are seen on closing the eyes?
Have a Bhairav Yaag performed at the house and have the Kshetrapal Nikari done — at minimum that much. Find a somewhat knowledgeable Brahmin who worships at a Kali temple and knows the Saptashati Chandi recitation; have it done on one day, on the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi.
Who is the Kshetrapal where the Deeh is worshipped?
The speaker says that where the Deeh is the one worshipped there, then whoever is worshipped in the form of Kshetrapal will be that same one.
Utara sent to the Kshetrapal when there is no chaukhat or the abhichar is severe
The speaker says that if there is no chaukhat, or the abhichar has become very troublesome, the utara is sent to the Kshetrapal — again with no siddhi needed, but with one rule: it is far better to know who the Kshetrapal is. The main Kshetrapal is always Bhairava, but at many deehs founded within the last hundred years people have installed a brahm as deeh baba, and then two nikaris go — one for Bhairav and one for Brahm Baba. The full Kshetrapal nikari for Bhairav is what the sattvik mode calls an urad Bali: whole black urad, rice and curd, with a Chaumukh Deepak lamp, a white sweet, Dakshina and water on top.
Special case: nikari for a Brahm installed as Kshetrapal at the village deeh
The speaker says that where the chief deity at the Kshetrapal sthan is a brahm, a second nikari goes for him beside the Bhairav one: raw milk if he is a Bal Brahm, otherwise dahi-chura with laddu and a janeu, water offered separately, and a four-mouthed flour lamp lit in mustard oil or ghee. If a devi who receives bali is also known to be at that Brahm sthan, a mustard-oil lamp and milk sweets go too; where bali is offered, buffalo ghee can be used, which makes one utara the Naivedya of all the deities and wins their grace quickly — but this is technical and best handled by someone who knows the place. None of it needs any Mantra Siddhi.
Living kukkut utara for Ugra Bhairav when a maran with bali threatens a life
The speaker says that when a maran prayog was set going with a Bali, the shakti running it demands a life for a life, so the ordinary lemon utaras and deity vidhans may bring no relief. If in an emergency, with the doctor already tried, two to four hours pass and it looks as if the person may die, a jeev has to be released: a kukkut of a single colour — fully white, fully black or fully red — brought without any disgust in the name of Kshetrapal Rakshak Ugra Bhairava, with the Kalika Purana as the proof-text for Mahabhairav. It is sprinkled with Gangajal, fed a little arwa rice with a prayer naming the person and Gotra, taken off over the head in reverse three, five or seven times, and released alive in a deserted place beyond one's own boundary — never cut, never killed. What becomes of it is the deity's affair, and the running abhichar is finished, one hundred percent.
What does he mean by simha sadhana or veer sadhana?
If you are a sadhak, and especially a sadhak of Jagadamba, then you must do simha sadhana — that is, do sadhana like a lion, do veer sadhana. Veer means that you do not become frightened at the least thing by all these confusions that have been spread about.
Is it right to do japa and path in a ruined and unworshipped temple?
In a ruined and unworshipped temple the effect of ugra kinds of shakti is greatest, the speaker says, and whatever the reason for which that temple has remained ruined and unworshipped, a curse attaches to it and those people remain cursed; therefore the shakti of that place is very greatly ugra. If you are going to that temple to do seva-puja or any anushthan, then first of all certainly perform a shanti pujan and the like for the sake of the shaktis of that place. If you are a Brahmin, or a sadhak as well, you should perform a Gayatri anushthan and the like there and make everyone tripta and content, and only then perform any anushthan there.
Kshetrapal nikari against a maran prayog, and where to give it
The speaker says the second main task, when the afflicted person is in serious trouble, is to find out at once who one's Kshetrapal is — the oldest temple in the place one lives — and give puja there; if one cannot find out, do the Kshetrapala Nikari, the Bali vidhan of Kshetrapal, near any Shiva temple, behind or beside it, or at the edge of a Chauraha. Kshetrapal, he says, is the foremost shakti and the first deity who stops whatever forces have been projected by abhichar vidyas.
Flour chaumukh lamp utara over the head of a maran prayog victim
When Kshetrapal cannot be identified, or one is new to a place or it is too densely populated for that vidhan, the speaker says to make a four-faced lamp of flour near the main door, fill it with mustard oil and 27 black peppercorns, wave it seven times anticlockwise over the afflicted person's head, and place it outside the door or, better, some distance from the house, as a jyot in the name of Kshetrapal or the Gram Devi. If trouble is severe, do both the nikari and this lamp, placing the lamp at a Chauraha or by a worshipped Peepal or banyan near a Shiva temple.
What is the aim behind calling mala japa and Havan mere show?
To cut the household off from its own energies. His claim: once you break under that influence, the powers of your house, the energies of your house, your Kula deities and your Kshetra Rakshak stop receiving these energies — and then your protective armour breaks.
Can the Kshetrapal nikasi vidhan be performed?
Asked about the vidhan given for the Kshetrapal nikasi, whether one may recite it and do the Kshetrapal nikasi, he answers: absolutely, do it.
What is the relation between Bhairav and administrative office?
Bhagwan Bhairav is the kotwal, the protector of Kashi, he says, and in every administration it is the duty of every administrative officer to protect in the form of Bhagwan Bhairav. The Kshetrapal who protects his own territory is Bhagwan Bhairav, and all the administrative officers, whether an inspector or anyone else, are his followers; if they are protecting their territory it is Bhairav ji's form, and that too is a work joined with dharma.
How is a sadhana sthal cleansed after it has been spoiled?
However badly anyone may spoil your sadhana sthal, the speaker says: as soon as you understand it, first clean the whole house thoroughly. Sprinkle gomutra and gangajal, and burn outside the house the sweepings and rubbish that come out when you clean and sweep. Do the kshetrapal nivari, give a bali and so on; take a coconut in the house, one with water, burn camphor upon it, carry it through the whole house in the name of Bhairav ji, and give its bali outside the house. If you do all this, the house will at once become energetic again through the dhoop dhuna. And if there is greater trouble, make a dhuni upon the wood of apamarg — whatever the thing is, it will be removed then and there, however much he may have seated.
Where a sokha or ojha seats his shaktis
The speaker says a sokha or ojha never keeps every shakti seated at his own house, especially an ancestral one: many are kept at his place of worship, some at the deeh with the Kshetrapal — he goes there with puja and bhog when he needs them — some in a worshipped peepal tree, and veer-type shaktis at the root of a fire. Each keeps them in his own way, according to his own cunning, and uses them from time to time. That, he says, is why the family in his case story could never get the matter fully examined — how many shaktis there were and what was where.
Kshetrapal nikari gives only 24 hours to seal the house
The speaker says that when a Kshetrapal nikari is done, the Kshetrapal carries away every shakti, including those that were worshipped in the house and any malevolent one a family member brought across the threshold and seated there with bali. But such things stay away for only 24 hours; that window is for keeling and binding the house so they cannot re-enter. Without that, the house feels calm and gentle for a day and then the same disturbance and sleeplessness resume — and full sleep becomes very hard for a sadhak.
By which vidhi is the Shravan deepdaan to be performed?
The third thing is the deepdaan of the Panchanana svarupa of Bhagavan Shiva — the tantric deepdaan vidhi in which, together with the kula devata and kula shakti and together with the Kshetrapal and the rest, deepdaan is made to the five tantric forms of Bhagavan Shiva: Sadyojata, Vamadeva, Tatpurusha, Aghora and Ishana. That vidhi is published on this same channel, he says, and he will put its link and share it again.
What about regions where Sawan starts later, and boundary deities?
Maharashtra's Sawan is still fifteen days away, he notes; the day after tomorrow Ashadh Krishna Paksha will begin. To a listener's note that the devatas situated on the boundary of the village, the field and the town are offered a bhog of various dishes, he says: absolutely — accept it according to your own region.
How should the Nikari lamp be kept from going out?
Keep the Nikari lamp such that it does not go out at all — keep the wick thick, light it with camphor applied, and if there is wind while you are carrying it out, carry it inside the big kind of biscuit carton so the wind cannot get in.
What does the Tantrokta installation actually build in?
A Peeth Yantra is constructed and the deity installed upon it with his whole family; the Nyasa process is completed in all of them, subtly, in a movable installation. Then even a single mantra japa surrendered there nourishes all the connected powers — the eight Bhairavs, the Matrikas, the Yoginis, the Kshetrapal.
What does it mean if red Abrus seeds are being thrown outside a home or shop, and how is it neutralized?
Red Abrus seeds (Gunja) repeatedly thrown outside a house or business are an Uchchatan or Bandhan ritual to drive away customers — neutralized by sprinkling cow urine and performing Kshetrapal Bali, or by sprinkling consecrated Shiva-temple abhishekam water, and by hanging the Shiva or Goddess's daily Nirmalya above the entrance.
What does repeatedly dreaming of pregnancy mean, and what is the remedy?
Repeatedly seeing pregnancy in dreams, regardless of age, indicates a Dakini affliction — cured by performing the Kshetrapal Nikashi ritual at home at least five times, reciting the Kshetrapal Bhairav Stotra, evening fumigation, and a Bhairav Deepdaan with a sankalpa detailing the affliction.
In the Devi Mahapurana Mahabhagavata, Vinayak guards the Devi's inner door and Bhairav the outer gate — as in a temple
In the Devi Mahapurana Mahabhagavata — not the Shrimad Devi Bhagavata — the Devi's realm is described with Ganapati seated at every door. At her principal gate Bhagavan Vinayak stands in her service; and at the outermost gate the place belongs to Bhairav.
For how many days should the utara be continued?
Begin on any day — Saturday, Tuesday or Sunday — and continue for the next five days. If they are not getting relief, increase the number. Alongside, start the utara and bali at the chaukhat, and do the kshetrapal nikari as well; the speaker says relief will then come swiftly.
What should be done about fear that begins as evening falls?
Asked again about fear beginning as soon as evening falls, what the cause could be, and why puja done daily brings no release, he answers: show it once to a knowledgeable person; have hom havan done well at the house; have kshetrapal nikari done. When the problem comes to be known, have its treatment done in the right way.
How long does a kshetrapal nikari hold, and what must be done after it?
In a kshetrapal nikari, the speaker says, this thing is removed for three days. It has been taken as three days up to thirteen days, but by the third or fourth day things begin to turn back. So in the three days' time you get after the nikari, the house's complete and proper tej bandhan should be done, giving the kshetrapal puja again and again, and the thing should be stopped and its bandhan performed.
A Hanuman chaupai is used as the samput of the Sundarkand, and eleven Bajrang Baans are recited daily.
If you cannot have that much done, the speaker says, then do it yourself, but on every Tuesday or every Saturday have the samputit Sundarkand recited. As for the samput mantra, tell those doing the paath that the negative energy is of such a kind, and have them apply as samput whichever chaupai serves for the invocation of Hanuman ji and the obtaining of his grace. You will get very swift benefit. Along with it, do the paath of the complete Bajrang Baan yourself in the house at least eleven times daily, and make the sound of it.
How is the mritika Ganesh prayoga performed?
By mritika shodhan — purifying the clay, making a murti of Bhagavan Shri Ganesh from it, giving it a formal abhishek with milk and an abhishek with dhoop, offering bhog and doing the pujan. That clay murti is worshipped in the house at the brahma sthan, and then conveyed to the sthan of the Kshetrapal. Doing this with sankalp, the oots of the house go to the Kshetrapal, and the further kriya for them happens there.
How is a Kshetrapal sthan chosen in a place like Delhi?
If Delhi is a congested area, then you will have to see this: that wherever your colony begins or ends, going to some place or other there will be a boundary region — just as a thana has its own boundary, that from here there is another thana and beyond that another. Here it is Mayapuri, here it is Chandni Chowk. In the same way, see where the boundary shows, which you can see on a map, that beyond here there is another boundary. Whichever temple of yours is around that boundary, hold that to be the sthan of the Kshetrapal. This holds for everyone.
How is a granth kriya cut?
First of all, if for instance you are doing the sadhana of the mala mantra of Bhagavan Dattatreya, then when at least 11000 japa of it is completed, after that you have to make a yantra of the Kshetrapal upon the ground — drawn with rangoli, with the earth smeared with cow dung and so on — and upon it, in each corner, in whichever compartment, in all the corners, the pujan of different gods and goddesses will be done.
How is Kshetrapal nikasi done in a house?
After doing that much, the speaker says, comes the doing of Kshetrapal nikasi from inside the house: making a coconut abhimantrit, lighting camphor and taking it out through the whole house with it — and most particularly, giving the bali of lemon and coconut at the chaukhat.
Which temple is right for the Kshetrapal at Haridwar?
A listener from Kankhal in Haridwar asks which temple would be right for the Kshetrapal, mentioning the Daksh temple and Bilveshwar Mahadev, where Mata Parvati did tapasya for three thousand years eating bel patra. He replies that he does not have special knowledge concerning Haridwar and so cannot say. For that place, he would only be able to tell you after doing a good svadhyaya of the Shakti Peeth of the Kankhal region and the whole subject; it would be more proper if you ask the people who live there.
Is there one Kshetrapal for a whole city?
He adds that in reality the subject of the Kshetrapal for the whole of Haridwar is one thing, and the subject of the Kshetrapal of the locality in which you live is a different thing. Within Haridwar too there will be different localities — so instead of one Kshetrapal there can be many Kshetrapals.
How is the last avaran of the Durga Saptashati yantra worshipped?
Asked whether in the final avaran of the Shri Durga Saptashati yantra's avaran mandal pujan one does as in the other eight avarans, or only releases rice on the yantra, or both, he says there are two matters. First: if you are performing the pujan of nine avarans, then in the ninth avaran there is the pujan of the ayudhas of the Kshetrapal in the final avaran; and there is the pujan of the ayudhas of the ten Dikpalas.
Which sabar mantras can be reinforced in the Shakambhari Navratri?
Those who have done the Rudra gan sadhana can do this to make it pushta as well. In the same way, all those making siddh the sabar mantras — whether Hanuman ji's Bajrang Baan, the Hanuman Chalisa, or besides them the Kali Chalisa, or among the sabar mantras the mantras of Gorakhnath Baba, or the Kshetrapal and Gram Devta mantra that has been given, the Gram Devi mantra, and the Hanuman ji mantras.
What should be done when nitya puja cannot be performed at its fixed time?
A questioner writes that he cannot do his ordinary daily puja-paath at the fixed time, that an invisible shakti keeps gripping his hand, and that it is on account of pret badha and uchchatan of thought. If your nitya pujan-paath is not happening, he answers, then first of all send out the nikasi of Kshetrapal, which is on the channel, on the day of Sunday; after that try again and you will become all right.
Must the preliminary pujans be done daily before the Dattatreya pujan?
Asked whether, in the pujan of Bhagavan Dattatreya, the pujan of Gauri Ganesh, the Kalash, the Navagraha, the Kshetrapal and the Digpalas must all be done first each day, the speaker answers yes — do them first.
Have the utara or nikari done first, and Kshetrapal pujan with it
First have his utara or nikari done, and have Kshetrapal pujan done — Kshetrapal being the Kshetrapal swaroop of Bhagavan Bhairav, the Yaksha swaroop, the Kshetrapal swaroop. Those who are knowledgeable will do it, and will do his bandhan in that form. The situation will then come under control immediately; otherwise tomorrow there will be great trouble.
Where no one can be found, the Tandav stotra of Kshetrapal Bhairav and Vatuk Bhairav's hundred and eight names
If you wish to gain control over it yourself and truly no one is to be found, then the Tandav stotra of Kshetrapal Bhairav — "यम यम यम यक्ष रूपम", this whole stotra — download it as a PDF from the internet, learn to sing it, and have it recited before that person, along with the Ashtottar stotra which is the hundred and eight names of Vatuk Bhairav; have the paath of both of these done.
The ang devatas, the Kshetrapal and the Digpal wait for the visitor too
And they too have this hope, that my son will come today. However many ang devatas there are of that place, the Kshetrapal, the Digpal — even if you only light a lamp there — they remain in the hope that the son will come today. So you should go, he says; this is his own experience. Those who have obtained divya drishti and are in the tantra kshetra will also know all these things particularly, because when they go somewhere, they too have the sensing and the experience of things there.
Reversing a sent kul shakti: identification through the kshetrapal, bhog-bhet by the bhagatvaal reckoning, and sending it back
The speaker says the elderly, experienced village sadhaks used the process by which, at the time of hal-srishti, a guru gives everything to his disciple through updesh, which he has explained in another video. Knowing which area the attackers' sthan was in, they drew out through the Kshetrapal only which shakti it was and what it belonged to; once known, they first propitiated it with the correct bhog-bhet reckoned by the pure Bhagatvaal method, that is how much it is taken down for, double or four times. Then, having all the information, they took it off her, and before sending it back to the house it belonged to they attached some things of their own and sent it, the fully tantric Palatna reversal. They bound and protected her body, and the problem was about ninety percent solved, while trouble broke out in the attackers' house and news of it came, so the family also learnt whose house it was. After Holi she returned to her in-laws' with no particular problem, keeping up what the bhagat ji had told her.
Why do obstacles arise in a Hanuman Chalisa sankalp?
Asked about obstacles in an anushthan for which a five-day sankalp of the Hanuman Chalisa had been taken, the speaker says it means that even if your kuldevi is awakened, someone who is at present receiving your puja and the rest wants it not to be found out. Therefore do the pujan of Ganpati ji and of Kshetrapal and the like, and this will be destroyed at once — this dosha will end at once.
What is the role of the kshetrapal here?
If they are worshipped in the form of a kshetrapal, then you should certainly give the kshetrapal's pujan on the first and the last day — because it is by their pujan alone that the purification of your whole house occurs. If anyone sends any thought and the like into the house, it is by the kshetrapal that it is stopped and sent back. They are the chief ones.
Why is Bhairav connected with the kotwali?
Bhairav always moves in the kotwali, the speaker says. Bhairav pujan happens a great deal in a kotwali — knowingly or unknowingly, there is always some one person who carries that responsibility, perhaps only for the sake of his job. Just as serials used to show dacoits and robbers setting out after worshipping Mahakali, so in exactly the same way, to catch them, kotwali pujan is done. This is why Kashi's kotwal is Bhairav, and the kotwal of every kshetra is Bhairav.
What is to be done with a kshetrapal nikari left outside overnight?
If nobody at all has eaten that bhog — not a dog, not a cow, nobody — then take it far away and visarjit it at some good place.
Can Kaal Bhairav be worshipped with Ma Durga in the darbari form?
The puja of Kaal Bhairav can absolutely be done together with Ma Durga in the darbari form. And the kshetrapal nikari, the next day, is to be cooled — if nobody has eaten it.
What is the science behind Kshetrapal pujan?
Against the filling of minds with the misunderstanding that harm will come from Kshetrapal pujan, that Kshetrapal will send prets and pishachs to your house, he says: understand the science behind it, the para vigyan here too. Whenever the sthapana of a Kshetrapal takes place — as Kshetrapal, as Dehi, as the gram devata, when some shakti is seated — then, when they become the adhipati of that kshetra, beneath their very asan reside all the prets and pishachs of that place.
Why is Kshetrapal pujan said to be compulsory?
This, he says, is the very reason Kshetrapal pujan has been called compulsory. It is said that if you do not give the pujan of Kshetrapal, then in your house — as people say — Kshetrapal will send a bhoot, will send a snake, will send a scorpion. This is not being said for nothing, because he is the Kshetrapal, and he is holding your house's negative shaktis there.
Why offer anything to God when God is everything?
He says a follower of Rampal has come along with the false argument of why God should be given anything, when God is everything. Certainly God is everything — and it is his samarthya that he is manifesting the anna, and he is giving the buddhi within us too, so that we may make the offering of "tera tujhko arpan".
Does Kshetrapal pujan itself bring harm?
Get out of these nonsense talks, he says — do Kshetrapal pujan and do not be afraid of them. By performing Kshetrapal pujan no harm comes about; rather, harms are destroyed. Yes, if you do it by a wrong vidhi — and wrong here does not mean only procedure: if you are doing it to carry out some crooked work, to cause loss to someone, using some mantra at somebody's prompting, then God is your master, and there nothing can be said.
What if the gram devata is a dead person or a brahm rather than Bhairav?
In the new times, he says, of the kinds of shakti that have been established apart from Bhairav ji — where, in the form of Kshetrapal or gram devata, instead of Bhairav Baba being installed some dead person has been installed, or a brahm and the like has been installed — there you should know what the rules and laws of that place are, if such a place has been given. What is offered to them and what is not: knowing this according to the kshetra, only then should you give.
Like the post of Prime Minister, the post keeps its highest dignity whoever occupies it and however his methods differ
He says that at present Prime Minister Modi ji is there, and before him whoever there was — when they went to that post, they made changes in their rules and methods accordingly; but their respect, and that post, remained the highest, remained the most supreme post. The dignity of that post is maintained. In the same way, whoever is seated on the post of Kshetrapal will fulfil the dayitva that is his, according to the dayitva given to him and the samarthya he has obtained.
Why does a gram devata dosha attach?
So as for the upside-down ideas people voice — that from doing Kshetrapal pujan such a thing will happen, that if you do it wrongly they will come upon you, that gram devatas began to come, that the dosha of the gram devatas attached — this attaches because of your own mistake, that is the first thing. And those who set them running in tantra vichar, with them too an anisht occurs; but that has become a separate subject of tantra.
What ordinary observance is owed to the gram devata?
One should go for the ordinary pujan: one should go at the time of Holi, one should go at the time of Diwali and place a lamp there, and when a wedding or other auspicious mangalik work takes place in the house, an invitation should certainly be given there. The mistake people make here is not giving it. What will happen if we do not give it? Difficulty arises there, and afterwards there is much trouble; so this mistake you should not make. Bhairav ji has some form — his seva and puja should never be abandoned.
Warning signs before a marana prayoga takes effect and the need for a raksha anushthan
Before the death, the speaker says, the deity trees at the place dry up again and again, because projected negative energies first draw away the sattvic energies. The prayoga removes the pitrs stationed near the door, removes the guardian deities and the sattvic powers present through the deity trees, pleases the sthan-devta and gives bhog or bali to the kshetrapals; this is a karmic field, not one of bhaav, and only then does the vidhi complete and the person die. So inauspiciousness shows first, and through these symptoms you are warned; if you do not read the signal and protect yourself with a specific anushthan, the projection of these energies becomes the cause of your death.
Is a Kshetrapal or Dikpal bali required on Guru Purnima?
No. There will be no obligation on that day to perform the Kshetrapal bali or the bali of the ten Dikpalas. If you do them it is excellent; if you do not, it is not a difficulty. Do not worry about it — because if the procedure grows too large, people will run from it.
Who is Kshetrapal, and what is his relation to Bhairav?
Those who live in villages, or who know village traditions, will know of Bhagavan Kshetrapal, or of Deeh, or of Bhumiya Maharaj, whatever he is called in their region. The form of Bhagavan Kshetrapal, he says, is Bhairav ji's own; it is Bhairav ji who is established as Kshetrapal everywhere. Other lok devatas and Brahma and the rest were given place later, but at root they too are subordinate to Kshetrapal — no lok shakti can be Kshetrapal, and if one is, she must take the authority from Kshetrapal, from Bhairav ji.
Does a knower drop Bhairav puja where a lok devata is worshipped as protector?
Never, he says. Even if a lok devata of that place is receiving pujan as Kshetrapal, as protector, a man who knows never leaves off the puja of Bhairav; within Kshetrapal he will certainly perform the pujan of Bhairav ji separately. Because he knows that the day some fierce tantric performs a prayoga of that sort, those shaktis will never be able to stop him.
Can every deity be called Mahadev, Kshetrapal or Amba?
We cannot call just anyone Mahadev, he says; not every deity can be called Mahadev. Mahadev is Mahadev. In the same way, we cannot worship every shakti in the form of Kshetrapal and say yes, this is Kshetrapal. And Amba, who is the mother of the entire world, cannot be said of all devis.
What is the Kshetrapal Bhairav nikari?
The kriya of Kshetrapal Bhairav — the nikari of Kshetrapal that is performed — has a complete vidhi, the speaker says, and there is a live video in which he has performed it and shown it.
What materials and procedure does the Kshetrapal nikari use?
Take rice equal to two persons' portion — ordinary unboiled paddy rice — and mix into it 250 grams urad, 100 grams dahi and red sindoor. Place it on a pattal, the plate made of sal leaves; on it light a chaumukh lamp, apply tilak, and keep five kinds of sweets and dakshina. Then circulate it through the whole house in the name of Kshetrapal Bhairav, touching it over the heads of everyone in the house, and go out of the house with it, speaking the prayer.
Where is the Kshetrapal bali left, and what follows the nikari?
Water should be taken along in a clay glass, and the whole thing placed at a crossroad or a little distance from the house. Before entering the house again, wash your hands and feet and change your clothes. It is a very great thing, he says: from Kshetrapal's pujan much peace is obtained in matters of pret, pishaach, vichar and tantra, and only after the nikari should the process of bandhan in the house be done.
Does every person in the house need a separate Kshetrapal bali?
There is no need at all to give the bali of Kshetrapal Bhairav for each individual person in the house, the speaker says. Only one bali goes out from one household, and it will go out after being touched to the foreheads of all.
What can be done when nobody in the family knows the old bhagatvaal?
Where the grandfather was in the bhagatvaal and after him nobody has any knowledge, the speaker says the Kshetrapal pujan vidhi he has given is what should be done for the nivaran. Although, he adds, peace will be obtained from it and they will come under control — but those things will not leave.
What anushthan should be done for a false court case?
With the vidhan of the Batuk Bhairav Ashtottara Satnamavali being posted the next day, perform the anushthan for 11 days; or else from Kaal Bhairav Ashtami, that is from 16 November to 23 November, and on the last day perform the Kshetrapal pujan and havan of Bhairav ji as the vidhan will state. Some path or other will open for you quickly. He gives the same answer to a listener whose brother is not getting bail in a false case in which the in-laws have brought a charge of dowry death.
What should be done if bats keep entering the house?
Two things should be done first, the speaker tells Ashwin Soni ji. First, the Kshetrapal nikari is necessary. Second, have a Gayatri havan performed at home every Sunday by some Brahman who does Gayatri japa well — a pure sattvik Brahman — and take part in his havan; if it is possible with the whole family, begin on a Sunday in the shukla paksha, and have at least five Sundays done. It will not cost very much. The nikari is to be done only once. When bats keep coming again and again and there is much trouble, he says, it shows that negative things have begun coming and going in greater and greater measure.
What does it mean when a til oil jyoti keeps going out?
If the til oil is also right and the wick is also right, and the jyoti keeps becoming still and there is trouble, then the very first thing to get done in your house is the nikari — not by yourself, but through some knowledgeable person who performs pujan and path. Someone or other is making an attempt on your house at this moment; it has not yet succeeded, but if it does succeed there will be trouble. The jyoti not burning is a rarest case, he says: you are kindling the lamp and even with everything correct it will not kindle. Do not do it yourself at once, because things are very active and they will immediately get a medium — so send their puja through a knowledgeable person, have the Kshetrapal nikari performed, and then see; you will obtain benefit.
Where can that form of Hanuman be seen at Vindhyachal?
Go to Sita Kund at Vindhyachal sometime, the speaker says: at Sita Kund exactly this form of Hanuman ji is installed. The very Ahiravan and Mahiravan whom he killed are beneath his feet, and he stands there in that fierce, prachanda form — his chanda form — and he is held to be the Bhairav of that place. For those who do the seva-puja of Ashtabhuja Bhagavati, and for those whose kuldevi she is — if they know it, well and good, and if they do not — the Bhairav of that place is held to be this Hanuman ji of Sita Kund. He notes it is an old place, later somewhat built up, and that he heard this from the people of that place, who say so.
What else is at Sita Kund, and how did the kunds of Vindhyachal come to be?
There are other chief places near Sita Kund, the speaker says; he will make a video sometime and tell how they are — those whose kuldevi she is will understand in what forms the kshetrapals stand there and where darshan should be done. It is a very small place, but it is there. And Sita Kund is that very place where, in Vindhyachal, every deity who went there made his own kund in Satyug; so it is with Bhagavati Sita too, that in Treta Bhagavati Sita established the Sita Kund below the Ashtabhuja hill.
Where is the ash of the Holika actually beneficial?
Where the whole vedic method and full vidhi-vidhan are followed by knowledgeable people and elders — as at the Mahakal temple at Ujjain, and around other temples where pujaris and sadhaks perform the danda sthapan of the Kshetrapal a full month beforehand and then the complete vidhi and pujan of Holika dahan — the ash of that place may be carried home, because it has been burnt in the full manner and will be beneficial.
What must be done after the keels are removed from a house?
After removing the katua keel, do the bandhan of the house properly by the vidhi of Mahavir Hanuman ji. Before doing the bandhan, prepare both panchagavya and panchamrit and thoroughly purify the whole house with the mantra of Bhagwan Narayan — using the Pundarikaksha mantra and the like. After that do the kshetrapal nikari, and only then do the bandhan, so that nothing of theirs remains standing there.
What should be done at Holi where abhichaar has been performed on a house?
He says many upayas have been given for Holi. For the destruction of abhichaar and for protection in all these matters, first of all do the bandhan of the house. When abhichaar is done upon a house: perform the utara from the bodies of the family members and send it to the Kshetrapal, send it to the Holika; at that same time do the bandhan of the house; and put a kavach upon the bodies of the family members. From this, he says, 50% relief will be obtained, in that when a new abhichaar is done it will not be so effective.
