Notes from our sources
After Batuk Bhairav come the Panchakshari of Shiva, a stotra-satnam of Bhagavati and her kavach, and only then the Ekakshari.
After that, going further, let there be the Panchakshari of Bhagavan Shiva, the stotra-satnam of Bhagavati, her kavach — whether that be the Kubjika Kavach or the Kamakhya Kavach, or whatever other kavach connected with Bhagavati you perform. Only after performing sadhana this far along does the sadhana of the Ekakshari mantra come, where the shakti is, because we are the root beej.
Which kavach comes before taking the Ekakshari?
The Kubjika Kavach or the Kamakhya Kavach: perform the anushthan of some one of these two up to at least eleven hundred, and after that bring the Ekakshari beej down into your life. When you obtain a guru, take its deeksha from them again; and if a guru is not obtained, no difficulty of any kind is going to come to you in this either — you will only increase further and further, on the sadhanatmak path as well as in material life.
Was the darshan during the Kubjika Tantra Durga Kavach with open eyes?
Asked about a post concerning a person of great bhav who had darshan of Jagadamba while doing the Durga Kavach of the Kubjika Tantra, and whether that darshan was with open eyes, he says: yes, according to what that person says, it was with open eyes. But keep one thing in mind, he adds: even when it happens with open eyes, what the state must have been, and at what time it happens. Because when we repeat a mantra again and again, in that bhav, with the mind one-pointed, meditating on their form, she does give darshan even for half a moment. But a state of confusion arises when our bhav is somewhere incomplete: was it true, or only untrue.
What is a shorter alternative to the Chandi kavach?
The alternative small kavach to the Chandi kavach is the Kubjika kavach, the speaker says, and the Kamakhya kavach.
Karali, Kubjika, Khanja and Lambshirsha — Shaktis named here who appear among the sixty-four Yoginis
Four are named — Karali, Kubjika, Khanja, Lambshirsha — and their names occur among Bhagavati's sixty-four Yoginis; infinite such Shaktis were seated there. They began catching the Devas by hand and putting them into their mouths.
What if you cannot go to a temple at all?
If you have nothing there is no difficulty; if you cannot even go to a temple there is no difficulty. If you have the Bhava, then certainly do the recitation. And to accomplish the Kubjika Kavach, no Havan is needed — only do the japa; that is plenty.
What upaya frees one from enemy affliction through the Kubjika kavach?
He says: do the kavach. For a kavach he always says that until forty thousand japa of it is done — a kavach, a satnam, all of this — the cutting of prarabdha and the receiving of its full effect will not happen by an upaya, given the present age. Increase the capacity of your tapa, and then any kavach or satnam will work.
Can the Kubjika kavach be done?
Yes, the Kubjika kavach can absolutely be done, the speaker says.
Can the Kubjika Stotram be recited without a guru's diksha?
It can be done in limited measure, the speaker says.
Kubjika Kavach: a small daily kavach path of about two hours that people still refuse
The speaker says some people panic even at a ten- or eleven-day sadhana such as a Navratri sadhana. He gives the Kubjika Kavach as an example of a very small Kavach — a mantra of about four shlokas — where one path a day is a matter of an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half, and even a new person finishes comfortably in two hours. You should be ashamed, he says, that you cannot give two of twenty-four hours to your devi-devata, cannot do two hours of japa, and then sit and say nothing happens; nothing will happen for such people. If you will not do it yourself, call those who do it hypocrites, and will not have it done by anyone, benefit will not drop from the sky. It is your matter, take your own stand: if you want not to spend even two rupees, do it yourself — do it and see.
Which Bhairav japa must accompany a Trikuta mantra?
When we make use of the Trikuta Bhairav — when we make use of the Trikuta mantra — then the japa of Kameshwar Bhairav should be done. Those who begin reciting the Siddh Kunjika, all the great gupt Kunjikas, the Damar-wali Kunjika, the Damar Kunjika stotra, the Kunjika stotra of Kubjika, the Tripura Kunjika, thinking that they have obtained it and will do it and get siddhi at once — they simply do not know that where the bhukut vidyas and the trikuta vidyas have been used, there the japa of their Bhairavs is also to be done.
