Bhairav anushthan for abhichaar in Shiv Navratri, and staying with one sadhana
For those in whose lives very strange events are happening — the Bhairava-related prayogas on the channel are for abhichaar-nash, even where maran prayogas keep being done on a family — the speaker says: do a Bhairav anushthan in this Navratri. Batuk Bhairav Hriday; the Batuk Bhairava stotra of the Rudrayamala Tantra with a sankalp of the shatanama; or the Mahabhairav mantra or Mahabhairav stotra. Anushthan first, repeated again and again; the prayoga vidhi after. His core sadhaks have fixed one thing: at Shivratri they do only the Aghorastra siddhi. Settle in one place, he says; do not keep asking "when will the effect come" — the one who gives effect is seated there; neither you nor he can stir a leaf, but Bhagwan says all things happen by his will.
Sadhana for an afflicted house when no puja can be done inside it
A house under abhichaar can reach a state where even good advice starts a fight and every pandit brought in quarrels and leaves, so no puja completes there. The speaker says the sadhana is then done outside the house, at a Shiva temple: at least 27 malas of the Mahabhairav mantra daily on a tantrokta Rudraksha mala made chaitanya by vidhi, seated between two Chaumukh Deepak lamps — mustard oil for Mahabhairav, ghee for Mahabhairavi — with imarti and curd as bhog. After the japa the curd and water go near the temple gate, the whole imarti is fed to dogs, and the sadhak eats none of it.
Special case: japa disturbed even in the temple by a shakti
The shakti in an afflicted house can be strong enough to enter even the temple and create disturbance so that the sadhak cannot complete his japa. In this case the speaker gave a specially made Yantra to be placed under the seating mat — one that sadhaks loosely call a Panchamundi-related yantra, though its real name is kept secret. He adds that the panchamundi and trimundi asan themselves belong to sadhaks of a very high order; ordinary people, himself included, cannot use them, so special vidhans are done symbolically instead.
Building up sadhana before using it against a strong shakti
The speaker compares sadhana to money: you earn it and deposit it, and you can only spend as much as you have saved. One 21-day cycle used at once against a big shakti — one that many tantriks had already failed against — would give little effect and could make the trouble worse. So the sadhak repeated the 21-day sadhana three to four times, each from Krishna Paksha Ashtami, over four to five months, keeping a mala or so daily at the temple between cycles so the krama was not broken, and raising the count from 27 to 54 malas (four to five hours a day). For a house with no such trouble, he says, a single cycle gives effect.
Bhairav bhog prayoga to clear abhichaar from a house
The prayoga is small: for one day, the full bhog of Bhairava that was being offered at the temple is given at the door of the house. Lamps are shaped from curd, imarti and ground urad dal with a little barley flour — one Chaumukh Deepak lamp per room. An earthen handi is made abhimantrit with at least 27 malas of the mantra; each lamp in turn is placed in it, covered, one mala recited, and taken out; special mandals are drawn. The lamps are then lit in every room, lamps are lit on both sides of the main door and the bhog is given there. Begun around 8–9 PM on a special tithi, the lamps burn at least three hours; at midnight the Nikasi is done and everything is left near the temple. The speaker says the house has had no kalah since.
A sattvic Bhairav mantra sadhana for every householder: purpose and who may do it
The speaker says Bhagwan Bhairava is so named because he does bharan-poshan, sustaining; as an avatar of Rudra he can do every task that serves the world's good and a householder's upkeep. People use Bhairav mainly in tantra and do not know that he is also installed at home for protection. Answering a request for a sattvic, simple, gentle sadhana with no adverse effect that any householder can do, he presents this one: every person can do it, whatever form of Devi or Bhairav is already worshipped at home, even if one only shows dhoop and deep. It should be used for protection before any new anushthan, and when going for a job, an interview or a business deal where the right impression must fall on someone. There is no distinction of man and woman; the specific purpose is named in the sankalp when the completed sadhana is later put to use.
What lamp offering is recommended on Ganga Dashami, and to which deity?
Offering 108 lamps (or as many as one is able) to Batuk Bhairava or Mahabhairava on Ganga Dashami is highly beneficial.
What is the Ganga Dashahara ritual procedure for reciting the Maha Bhairava Mantra?
Sit in the river up to navel depth at dawn and recite the Maha Bhairava Mantra continuously for 30 minutes to 2 hours (or 5-10 rounds on a Rudraksha or authentic Black Hakik mala), with intense focus on the forms of Kala Bhairava, Batuk Bhairava, and Maha Bhairava.
Why the afflicted family must do the remedy themselves: outside help lasts only a while
The speaker says that when the family contacted him, with Bhairav Ashtami approaching, he gave them the Maha Bhairav mantra procedure and told them to do it themselves. His reason: however much a tantrik, an energy worker or a guni helps you, he helps only for a fixed time, after which you are left alone and the trouble returns. The man had already suffered enough, he says, and the rest of the family had to be saved.
First step against the marana prayoga: Maha Bhairav mantra, 21 malas a day for 21 days at a Shiva temple
The speaker says he told the man to do 21 Mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra every day in a Shiva temple. He was no great sadhak but a complete beginner, so he started with one or two malas, slowly, since the mantra is fairly long and takes time; being a hardy village man used to sitting, he managed. The first full round of 21 malas for 21 days was done in the Shiva temple with a lamp kept lit. The result, the speaker says, was that peace came to his body and he said he had gained great strength and felt "we can fight this", and asked what to do next.
Daily practice with the yantra kept at the temple: a mala, five stotra recitations, a mala
The speaker says the daily routine he set was: at least one Mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra, then at least five recitations of the Batuk Bhairava Stotra, then one more mala of the Maha Bhairav mantra, with the whole of it offered to the Yantra. The yantra was to be installed beside Shiva in the temple, and everything dedicated to it there. It was not to be taken home; some arrangement was to be made in the temple so the yantra stayed there for the 21 days.
Maha Bhairav mantra against abhichar: a Sabar mantra that must never be recited aloud
The speaker says the Maha Bhairav mantra, already given on his channel, is unfailing (akatya) especially for destroying Abhichara, for protection, for destroying enemies, and for destroying those who work the strongest of strong prayogas. But because it is a Sabar Mantra, it must never be recited by pronouncing it aloud, and never used by speaking it. It may be done at home, but never outside; and even at home not spoken so that household members hear it, because hearing it has an effect. Its Havan follows the havan procedure already on the channel; the full prayoga vidhi with the stotra was to be posted.
Mahabhairav anushthan for an afflicted family done at Sarkate Bhairav in Kalkaji, never at home
The speaker says he had the man do a Mahabhairav Anushthana at the Sarkate Bhairav shrine inside the Kalkaji Temple temple in Delhi, starting around Margashirsha Maas and continuing till the month of Magh, going there every day; he expressly forbade doing it at home. The man told no one at home what he was doing or how — he said it was office time and left for his office, but went on from there to the temple and did everything there. Only when the speaker was satisfied that it had been done well, with full vidhi-vidhan, did the next stage follow.
Precaution: bodily trouble that begins with an anushthan is the attached thing resisting
The speaker says the man in the Delhi case had never had bodily trouble, yet as soon as he began the Mahabhairav Anushthana difficulties started in his body and he suffered a great deal during it. His explanation: the thing that was with the family began to trouble him, because until then he had been deliberately kept safe — the intention being that nothing should happen to him. The onset of trouble at the start of the anushthan is thus the resistance of what is attached, not a sign that the practice is going wrong.
Home prayoga against an enemy inside the family: prerequisites, no names, and nine days of Gupt Navratri
The speaker says the home stage came only after the man had completed the full vidhi-vidhan at the shrine, put on the Kavach, and learned Yantra and Tarpana — three to four months of learning — and seemed at an initial level able to carry it. He then told him how to apply it at home, with one rule: take no one's name. Those who do Mahabhairav know there is a provision for naming, but here the Sankalpa was to be only for "known and unknown Shatru" — whoever it is will understand their own position. The man began the Anushthana at home during Gupt Navratri, for nine days, by the vidhan he was given, using certain Tantrokta items: things done Abhimantran were to be mixed into the food, which everyone at home would eat as they normally do.
How a defensive prayoga reveals the sender: the family's ailments move onto one person
The speaker says that once the man completed the sadhana and the home Anushthana and its Prayoga began, the result of three, four, six months of effort showed: the family members' illnesses gradually reduced. What remained common to everyone was only cold, fever and stomach ache; but every distinct ailment — the swelling of the body, the chest pain, the fever, the headache, the upset stomach — now appeared in the man's wife, who had been fully healthy for two or three years. The man himself was also somewhat affected, he says, because as her husband, living with her, some element or portion of it had reached him too. This is how, he says, the thing was caught.
Aim of a defensive Mahabhairav prayoga: end the misuse of tantra, not destroy the enemy
The speaker says the affliction in the Delhi case was fully bound and removed by the same Mahabhairav Prayoga and the same vidhi-vidhan — a complete Bandhan. The wife never admitted it openly, but at that time she left the house on the excuse that she was unwell and going to her maternal home, and stayed there a very long time. He draws the lesson: it is not necessary to go and finish an enemy off completely. If the person's inner feeling changes, the pettiness ends, the evil intent inside them dies, and the misuse of tantra they were doing stops — what greater result could there be? By Mahabhairav's grace and this sadhana-Anushthana, he says, the man saved and protected his family.
First stage: siddhi of the Mahabhairav mantra, eleven days of eleven malas in a Shiva temple
The speaker says the Batuk Bhairava stotra (a PDF is linked) is to be given Samput with the Mahabhairav mantra (linked in the description), and that mantra must be made siddha first — so there are two anushthans, one for the mantra and one for the stotra. The mantra stage runs at least 11 days in a Shiva temple with the same daily vidhan: starting from Krishna Paksha Ashtami or Amavasya, sit on the asana, do the Guru-Ganesha smaran and one's usual path, then 11 malas of the Mahabhairav mantra (later he allows 5) and dedicate the japa onto Shiva, every day for 11 days.
Keeping the siddha Mahabhairav stotra for future protection: maintenance paath on Amavasya or Krishna Ashtami
The speaker says ordinary people who are not under attack may make this stotra siddha — by the same siddhi vidhi — and keep it for their future safety, using it whenever the need arises. After siddhi, one or two paths at home on every Amavasya or Krishna Paksha Ashtami suffice. Daily path is done only when you come to know or feel that a tantra-abhichaar situation has formed.
Home prayog of the siddha Mahabhairav stotra against an active attack
The speaker says that once both anushthans have been completed once each, the path at home is: one Mala of the Mahabhairav mantra, then five paths of the stotra, then one mala of the mantra again. Whenever the path is done at home for a prayog, keep a copper lota in front with pure Gangajal, Gomutra, Kusha and Tulsi leaves while the path runs; afterwards give that water to the afflicted person to drink, sprinkle it on them, and sprinkle it through the whole house from inside to outside and well on the Chaukhat. This is done daily for 21 days in a row; so much, he says, destroys any Marana Prayoga. The dhuni method and the Havan method are different and he withholds them for another time.
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.
Caution: direct deity-binding and unbinding mantras are Bhagatwal work, not for use without a knower
Besides the simple vidhan, the speaker says, there are many mantra-based vidhans in which a mantra is run directly and the bound deities open, and mantras by which deities are bound too — but that is the field of Bhagatvaal, and in his view, even if you see and learn these mantras on YouTube or Facebook, you should not use them without being in the company of a knowledgeable person. Otherwise, if by mistake your own deities or the shaktis of your own ishta get bound, they will make you dance, will not relent, and will trouble you no end — and the dosh that attaches is separate. And when opening a bandhan, it may turn out that some pret-pishach was held in it and your method set it loose too; without knowledge, that becomes a problem. So instead of the direct mantras, use those that carry no negative effect: Mahabhairav and the like, or the Hanuman Chalisa, bajrang-baan, Kali Chalisa and Durga Chalisa.
What are the rules for the Mahabhairava mantra rosary and Havan hand technique during extensive offerings?
The rosary from the first Mahabhairava mantra Anushthan is worn around the neck for protection, with subsequent Anushthans requiring a separate dedicated mala; for extensive Havan offerings, the mala is held in the left hand (covered) while offerings are made with the right, and smaller counts can use Kar-mala or 11 raisins.
What are the rules for wearing and chanting on a Mahabhairava Mala?
Once worn around the neck, subsequent chanting on it is strictly for personal physical protection and its merit is never dedicated away; after bathing, remove it, wash it, apply fragrance, chant one round of the mantra, and wear it back.
Which shaktis should be chosen for the destruction of abhichar?
Yesterday the two subjects were for the destruction of disease and for the attainment of wealth. Today the emphasis is on the destruction of abhichar, on protection, and on the attainment of siddhi. Sadhaks attempting the destruction of abhichar should select the ugra shaktis: Bhagavati Pitambara, Bhagavati Mahakali, the ugra forms and mantras of Bhagavati Durga, about which material has already been broadcast on the channel, and Bhagavan Mahabhairav.
Can all the members of one family worship the same shakti?
All the members of a family cannot worship one and the same shakti, the speaker says. So keep in mind that if, say, someone is doing Mahabhairav, it is not that he will start right from the evening. The pujan of Diwali that has to happen in the evening must certainly happen — whether of Bhagavan Kuber ji or of the principal forms of Bhagavati whose pujan you will do, together with the kuldevi and kuldevata. After that you will do the main sadhana at night, from ten or eleven o'clock.
What is used against the most intense abhicharik strike?
For abhichaar you may use these too, but the effect should reach you from the very first day. If the problem has become such that the effect is coming upon someone's body itself, then there use Mahabhairav. And whenever you wish to do the seva puja of Batuk Bhairav or of any form of Bhairav, the single most correct rule is this: do not do their seva puja without rudraksha.
Who should not use the Mahabhairav prayoga?
The Mahabhairav videos have been on the channel for two years and many have taken benefit from them and had problems removed, and he says so repeatedly. But one thing stands: if you do not need it, do not use it. If you are not afflicted by abhichaar, do not use it at all.
What happens if Mahabhairav is invoked with no enemy to consume?
If no tantra-mantra is being done against you and no enemy is in a position to harm your life, there is no need at all to use it. Look at the kind of energy you are calling: if that energy has the capacity of nigraha, it will devour enemies, it will devour negative shaktis, it will devour pret and pishaach. And if you have nothing at all — no abhichaar, no tantra-mantra able to harm you, no such enemy causing suffering who needs destroying — then when you do Mahabhairav at such a time, harm begins to reach you.
When may Mahabhairav be taken up, and where should it be made siddh?
Only when you are in such a dire situation should you make this prayoga and do the puja of this swarup. If, merely on hearing that someone had such an experience, you want to keep it made siddh, then make it siddh outside the house — never make it siddh inside the house.
How is Mahabhairav made siddh in a temple, and in how many mandals?
Do it in Shiva ji's temple, saying clearly: Prabhu, if ever in life, in a time of calamity, such a need arises, we will use these mantras; for that purpose we are making this vidhan siddh. Make it siddh in the temple. The most intense form is to do the puja in three mandals.
What is done in the first mandal of the Mahabhairav vidhan?
In the first mandal, japa of the Mahabhairav mantra in which the names of Kaal Bhairav, Batuk Bhairav, Bhoot Bhairav and Mahabhairav all come — four Bhairavs are principally present in it. If possible, at least 41 malas each day for 41 days is wonderful; if not at one sitting then at two, 11 and 11 morning and evening; and if even that is not possible, at least five and five. If someone does 41 malas in a day — 21 in the morning and 21 in the evening — for the full 41 days, then one mandal is complete.
What discipline accompanies this japa, and how strong is the mantra?
While doing this japa, observe niyam, suchita and shuddhata in all of it, and give their seva puja daily in the Bhairav temple. This mantra is so dangerous a mantra, he says, that by its effect you become able to stop at once the greatest shamshani thing there may be.
Who Mahabhairav is, and Mahakaal Bhairav and Krodh Bhairav with them, have never been taken up on the channel
The subject of who Mahabhairav is has never been discussed on the channel, he says, and there has never been any contemplation of Mahakaal Bhairav — which tattva he is, what his samarthya is, how he rules. What has been covered is more than sufficient. Krodh Bhairav or Mahabhairav are, in a manner of speaking, for the param sadhaks who rule and who carry such subjects. But if you take up the Mahabhairav matter and do it, you will receive protection immediately.
What does the Kalika Purana prescribe for Mahabhairav?
According to the special shastrokta mat written in the Kalika Purana, if you do the pujan of Mahabhairav on the Chaturdashi of the Shukla Paksha of Chaitra, then whatever matter you carry before them and whatever purpose you pray for is addressed. In its shastrokta mat, alongside fruit, flowers and sweets in the naivedya there are also the karan patra and the mans patra; the bali anna of that day is entirely of pure meat.
What is done in the second mandal of the Mahabhairav vidhan?
If someone performs the pujan in that manner, they give the fruit in that same manner — this is the shastrokta mat, he says. If you are going to make the Mahabhairav prayoga, at the least understand, know and see that you actually need them. The first mandal being the 40 or 41 days of mantra japa and its samarpan, in the second mandal you will do the path of the Mahabhairav Stotra for 40 to 41 days.
How many paths of the Mahabhairav Stotra are done in the second mandal?
At least 21 paths are to be done daily, and if you have the capacity and can sit, then 21 and 21 morning and evening would be wonderful. Through this mandal too you are offering naivedya to the Bhagavan in the temple itself, lighting dhoop and deep there and doing everything there. The third mandal takes both of these together.
How is the samputan done in the third mandal of the Mahabhairav vidhan?
The Mahabhairav mantra is in any case present inside the Mahabhairav Stotra, but here it is done with a full samputan. First do five malas of the Mahabhairav mantra which you had already awakened; after that do 21 paths of the Mahabhairav Stotra; then again five malas of the Mahabhairav mantra; and then make the full samarpan. In this way, 41 days again. Then the stotra and mantra become so awakened that whatever abhicharik prayoga has been done upon anyone, whatever shakti has been sent, you become able to cut it by the mantra alone, needing no special object.
Is a havan done alongside the three mandals?
So far, he says, only japa has been spoken of and havan has not even been mentioned. If along the way you have also done a havan daily in all three mandals — when you did 41 malas of japa, give an ahuti for one mala as well; when you did 21 paths, give an ahuti for one path too, only with guggul and ghee.
How does the havan samagri differ for women and men?
Only this much is to be kept in mind: women will keep the quantity of guggul greater, and men will keep the quantity of ghee greater, and keep giving the ahutis. Then, he says, there is no greater tantrik than you — that tantrik, Bhairav himself, will open the path before you, and a great many things will happen through this mantra.
Who in particular should do the Mahabhairav sadhana?
This life is in vain, he says, if you cannot make even one sadhana siddh; out of 365 days you cannot give 41. The Mahabhairav sadhana and seva puja should be done particularly by such people as have the strongest abhichaar upon them, the strongest enemy, and feel that at any moment their life may be taken. At such a time their cooperation should certainly be taken.
Those with no such matter in their life should not make the Mahabhairav prayoga at all, since its mantras would then be used without need and harm follows
All those others who have no such matter in their lives should not make this kind of prayoga — they simply should not do it. Because there are such mantras in it that you will use them without any need for them, and then harm will reach you. When there is no need, do not do it; when there is need, only then do it. The avahan of such a form and the prakshepan of their shaktis should be done only then.
Can a sadhak carry the worship of many shaktis at this level?
It is also a truth, he says, that one sadhak will not be able to do the puja of many kinds of shaktis to this level — he will burst. If we are doing Bhairav ji now, we can do as excellent a sadhana of Bhairav ji as is possible. But to think that we are doing Batuk Bhairav, and Mahabhairav, and let us now do Mahakaal Bhairav too — you will be able to maintain only one, and one alone gives so much kripa.
Should nyasa be done with the 108 names?
To a listener doing the 108 names, he says: do the nyasa along with it only if you wear the yajnopavita and the rest; otherwise do it just as it is and you will get the full benefit — do not be troubled. To Punya Singh ji he says the Mahabhairav may absolutely be done, and it will also be proper after 2:00; do it at any time of the whole day, there is no difficulty.
After the Brahma Kavach anushthan, should one do Mahabhairav or Brahma Kavach?
To Ghanshyam ji, who has completed the Brahma Kavach anushthan and filled the form for wearing the Brahma, he answers that you may do the Mahabhairav as well, and if you wish you may do the Brahma Kavach as well. There is no problem; take either of the two and proceed according to your wish. If the Brahma Kavach is complete you may do the Mahabhairav — and, he adds, you have need of it too.
How does one fit a Bhairav practice around an anushthan already running?
Those doing the path of Dhanda Mai or the Lakshmi mala mantra should keep their anushthan continuing, he says. If there is trouble alongside, do that at one time — as you were doing Dhanda Lakshmi and the Lakshmi mala mantra in the morning, keep that continuing, and in the evening do the Mahabhairav. And on the day of a parva kaal only the pujan should be done: it is not necessary that you must do an 11-day or a 41-day anushthan of Bhairav ji — do one day. If you are not doing a principal anushthan of Bhagavati Dhanda but only her nitya pujan, then whatever parva kaal falls in between, the seva puja of the related shakti should certainly be done.
What is the Mahabhairav mool mantra and how many times should it be done?
The speaker says a Mahabhairav mantra, the mool mantra, was given earlier and every householder should do it without hesitation. It is available on the channel. Everyone should do that sadhana at least three times — whether an 11-day or a 21-day form — and should do a very large amount of japa of that mantra. All the Bhairavs are contained in it, but at its root chiefly is Batuk Bhairav.
What is the order between the Mahabhairav mantra and the Batuk Bhairav Hriday?
The speaker says the hriday, the hriday stotra of Batuk Bhairav, should certainly be made siddh. First do the mool mantra, which is the Mahabhairav mantra and contains all the Bhairavs; after that come forward and do the hriday of Batuk Bhairav. He says he is giving the vidhi for making the hriday siddh from the time of Makar Sankranti.
The paath runs from Krishna Paksha Ashtami to Amavasya, with at least 108 havan ahutis of the Mahabhairav mantra on the last day.
The speaker says the paath should be done from the Ashtami tithi — from the Ashtami tithi of Krishna Paksha — up to the Amavasya tithi. Do it up to Chaturdashi; on the Amavasya tithi, after doing the paath, either do only the havan that day, or if you wish do the paath and then the havan as well. For the havan the mool mantra remains the same Mahabhairav mantra, and at least 108 ahutis are to be given with it.
Opening ahutis go to guru, Ganpati and the Navgrah; the main 108 are given with the Mahabhairav mantra.
The speaker says the opening ahutis are for guru, Ganpati, the Navgrah and so on — the havan that is done for these — and after giving the ahutis with all those mantras, the main ahuti you will give with the Mahabhairav mantra. With the Mahabhairav mantra 108 ahutis are to be given.
An anushthan is not done once and set aside — the Mahabhairav anushthan should be repeated at least three to five times.
The speaker says that after completing this sadhana one should again do an anushthan of the Mahabhairav mantra that has been given. The more one does this anushthan, the more one's closeness to these shaktis increases. People do it once and then sit back comfortably thinking it is done and asking what is next; but it is to be repeated, done again and again — any anushthan should certainly be done at least three to five times.
How is a mala treated in the Mahabhairav mantra japa?
A mala such as the one used when we do the japa of the Mahabhairav mantra has a different process, he says: in that we should take it off, do the japa, and then wear it. Asked about a Kaal Sarp Dosh or a birth on Amavasya, he says a little seva of Bhagavan Shiva ji should be done; and if you cannot do Ma's shringar, have it done at the temple.
A havan of one mala each of these mantras should be kept continued.
A listener says he does a havan of one mala of the Mahabhairav mantra, the Sudarshan mantra and the complete Narasimha mala mantra. Very beautiful, the speaker answers — keep this continued.
The full tod vidhi vidhan for a dayan vidya prayoga is already on the channel, with the sharanagati of Mahabhairav available as assistance.
Answering a listener named Rahul Kumar, he says that if there is a prayoga of dayan vidya, then the full tod vidhi vidhan for it has been told on the channel. Listen a little, patiently, first — your concept will become clear, and then you will be able to do it. You can take the assistance of Mahabhairav and the rest, taking their sharanagati.
What are the higher options for purifying the ground?
If it is possible for you, he says, have a Mahavidya saprayoga done — that will also do; if not that, then Mahabhairav; and if none of this can be done, then if there is any sadhak, any tantra sadhak, certainly have agni, havan, karmakand and tantrakand performed there by them.
The principal sadhana stays yours, and the Diwali pujan runs complete alongside it
Those who have been doing Mahabhairav will do the principal sadhana of Mahabhairav itself, but along with it there will be the complete pujan of Diwali — Dhanteras, and on the Diwali night Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati, Lakshmi-Ganesh, Kuber and Yam deep daan will all happen. Only the principal sadhana stays theirs.
When should I eat on the days of the anushthan?
After you have completed the sadhana at night, eat your food again and go to sleep. If you eat before the sadhana, sleep will come. So eat after completing the sadhana — whatever sadhana you are doing, whether it be Kalika Yogini, Mahabhairav or another.
Should I switch from Mahabhairav to Kalika Yogini?
Answering Ashish ji, he says: do not leave Mahabhairav. Do theirs. Along with it, do the pujan of Bhagavati Kali. If you want to do Kalika Yogini, he will forbid you now — stop; you have laboured this many days, do not run away. Stop.
Does the Kalika Yogini sadhana cut the tantra in the house, and what about varshiki?
Asked whether doing Kalika Yogini sadhana will cut the tantra vichar of the house, he says it absolutely will — but do not leave off doing Mahabhairav. Asked separately whether Hanuman ji's sadhana does not exist, he replies that of course it does, why would it not. And to Monika ji he says: if the annual pujan is done, only then should you do it; if the varshiki has not been done, if the barsi has not been done, then do not do seva-puja now, and do not take part in any anushthan.
Which woods can be used with apamarg in a havan?
Answering a question about the havan from the Mahabhairav stotra, he says apamarg wood burns up quickly. Along with apamarg wood you can use navgrah wood, and you can use upale of cow dung. Any separate wood from among the navgrah woods; and on your side, in the Rajasthan direction, shami ji's wood is found in plenty, so you may use those woods in greater quantity. When you are offering ahuti with the mantras of the devi-devatas that are kavach and the like, or in the ahuti of shabar mantras, using shami ji's wood is very good.
Can Veer sadhana be used to remove pret negativity from the family?
Asked about Veer sadhana for protection, for permanently removing pret negativity from the bodies of the household, and for making the body well-formed, he answers: Mahabhairav sadhana. But he adds that if there is pret sadhana and pret and this kind of presence, then first have it looked at by some competent person. Asked whether the five-day sadhana is to be done under sankalp, he says yes — take the sankalp each day.
The Shri Yantra mandal pujan is never given online, and "amuk" there names the enemy, not yourself
On the vidhi of the mandal pujan of the Shri Yantra and the vidhan of its sadhana, he tells Civil Mitra ji that it will never be possible — that online and on video, on the channel, it will simply never be possible. Asked whether one should put one's own name in place of the word "sadhak" in Mahabhairav, he says: in Mahabhairav, in the maximum of places, that is the enemy's name; the uccharan of the enemy's name is to be done there. If you are doing siddhi, then do not take anybody's name there; and in however many places the uccharan of a name is done it is "amuk" — in the maximum of places it is kill amuk, so how will you put your own name there? Putting your own name means you will use the Mahabhairav prayoga upon yourself. Do not make this mistake; for now do the siddhi with "amuk" itself, and when it is used, then in place of amuk the enemy's name is taken.
What is the havan samagri for the Mahabhairav stotra?
For the havan samagri of the Mahabhairav stotra, especially, there is yellow mustard: black til, yellow mustard, black pepper, neem leaves — all these things are kneaded together in mustard oil and then the ahuti is principally offered with it, for the destruction of vichar tantra and for the pleasedness of Mahabhairav. The initial ahuti will be with ghee itself, he says, or it can be given with mustard oil too.
For repeated pregnancy loss with a Chudail-like force present, Batuk Bhairav is preferred over Mahabhairav
Batuk Bhairava is the better choice here, not Mahabhairav — provided the questioner genuinely knows that a Chudail-like force is what is present.
What does the Mahabhairav mantra cover?
The speaker says the Mahabhairav mantra that has been put on the channel exists for exactly this purpose: by the Mahabhairav mantra the pujan of kul Bhairav, Batuk Bhairav, Kaal Bhairav and Kapal is all accomplished, and you may worship any Bhairav at all, any swarup of Bhairav ji, with it.
Which mantra should be used for a havan to the kul devata when the Bhairav is unclear?
Asked by someone wishing to do a twenty-seven day havan for the kul devata and kuldevi, the speaker says that if the kuldevi is Bhagavati Sheetla then do hers; and where you feel the kul Bhairav is not being properly identified, use the Mahabhairav mantra given on the channel. It has no pranav attached, and it carries Bhairav ji's beej mantra — so men and women alike may all do it, whether or not they wear the janeu, with no difficulty of any kind.
Which anushthans should be done once in a lifetime, and in what order?
The speaker says the anushthan of the mantra given by him may certainly be done on the day of Bhairav Ashtami, and that he is telling everyone to do the anushthan of the Mahamantra. As for Bhagavan Dattatreya: either take hold of him in life, if you have shraddha in him and are of the Maharashtra or Gujarat side and chiefly do his seva-puja. After that come Ganapati ji — the sadhanas of Ganapati that have been given, and failing all else the anushthan of the Sankat Haran Ganesh Stotram. Then Bhairav ji, in whom two or three things have been given, including the Bhairav Hriday; then Hanuman ji, and then Bhagavati or whoever your chief deva-devata is.
What sadhana should be done on Bhairav Ashtami?
The speaker says that chiefly, if one takes up the Mahabhairav mantra that has been given and does it, that is most excellent. He will also tell other sadhanas which will be small and simple; and if someone wishes to do it with Sabar, he will tell that too.
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.
Mahabhairav as the sharpest striking shakti when no path is left
The speaker says the need for this capacity arises when no path is left and it seems the family will be finished and will not survive; then one should take sharanagati. Among such powers, he says, the one that strikes most sharply is Mahabhairav. A Mahabhairav Prayoga is already on the channel, but no maran prayoga of his, or prayoga to punish the wicked, has been given until now.
Doing the Mahabhairav prayoga in envy or without knowing the truth backfires
The speaker says the Prayoga is to be done only when no other path exists and only while remaining dharma-yukt. If you do it deliberately to harm someone, or without knowing the truth of whether the other person is wrong or right, and carry it out in that darkness, the result will be one hundred percent adverse and you and your family will have to bear it. If you do it out of envy, because someone has a lot of money and shows off, you will be tormented a hundred times more than now, be unable even to die, and fall into mental derangement. He says this is not said to frighten but is the plain reality, for people's welfare.
Duration of the Mahabhairav prayoga: a 90-day resolve, 41 days, then straight through to 90
The speaker says all that has to be done is to make up a full count of 90 days: even though you do not know whether you will be alive tomorrow, the mind must hold a firm Sankalpa of 90 days. The Prayoga is first done for 41 days, in which, he says, 90 percent of cases get settled, provided you are in the right. If the work does not happen in 41 days, continue without a break up to 90 days; after 41 there is no second round of 41, it simply continues to the full 90.
Venue for the Mahabhairav prayoga: an ugra Bhairav temple where madira is offered
The speaker says the first thing is to find a temple of Bhairava ji; there is no alternative to it. Asked whether a Shiva temple will do, he says no. Asked whether a Batuk Bhairava temple, or any temple where worship is only by sattvik vidhi, will do, he again says no: as this Prayoga is, it needs an Ugra deity and there is no choice. What is needed is a Bhairav kshetra nearby where worship is done by an ugra, Vamachara vidhi and where karan and similar patras, that is Madira, are certainly offered to Bhagavan Bhairav. Only there is the prayoga done.
Daily sequence of the Mahabhairav prayoga at the temple
The speaker says a karan patra must be with you every day: carry a bottle of Madira and a small, medium-size clay Khappar; fill it fully with madira, drop in two cloves and one cardamom, and offer it to Bhairava ji as Naivedya. The order is: first light the four-faced lamp and offer the karan patra; then sit on the asan, remember Guru and Ganesha, do one Mala of the Panchakshari Mantra, then at least five malas of the Mahabhairav mantra, five recitations of the Mahabhairav Stotra, and again five malas of the mantra, all while looking towards Bhairav ji. Then burn clove-camphor and offer it in some vessel. The laddus and other naivedya are offered as Bhog beforehand, and whatever Prasad you get is eaten there on the spot after the pujan is complete; it is not to be brought home. On returning home, bathe and do puja again at home.
Restrictions of the Mahabhairav prayoga: no drinking, no jiv bali, not at home, purely dakshinachari
The speaker says that in this Prayoga you are not to consume any Madira yourself, and you are not to give any Bali of a living creature; you only offer madira as Bhog and do your Japa there. The prayoga is not to be done at home, and one is not to get involved in any Vamachara vidhi in it: only Naivedya is offered to him. It is a completely Dakshinachara prayoga, he says; only naivedya is being offered and japa done, and no base or tamasik prayoga of any kind is taking place.
Experiences during the Mahabhairav prayoga and how to respond to them
The speaker says you may have sharp experiences and feel a little mentally disturbed, because Ugra shaktis of this kind begin coming and going at once; if your Aura is not already prepared, some disturbance can be created, which is why he said to do the Panchakshari Japa first. When these shaktis come, it will be with a rush and full ferocity, so do not be frightened. When it begins to feel that someone is present or coming, or something is happening at night, immediately do japa of the Mahabhairav mantra and pray that he devour your enemy and give him fitting punishment, saying in full how he is tormenting you: your sister, your mother, your daughter, your land.
Lifelong seva vow to Bhairav once the Mahabhairav prayoga succeeds
The speaker says that if your work is accomplished within the 41 days, you are to tell Bhairava: "Prabhu, on the Ashtami tithi of every month, or whenever it becomes feasible for us, we will come once and do your seva-puja before leaving." And you must serve him for the rest of your life so that his grace remains. He says you are not binding yourself in any bondage; the grace of a divine shakti will be with you, and whenever you fall into trouble this shakti will stand by you. Each time you go, offer him Naivedya.
Food and brahmacharya during the Mahabhairav prayoga
The speaker says there is no rule or prohibition about eating and drinking in this Prayoga. Brahmacharya, if it can be kept, is most excellent; without it the likelihood of success drops. He argues that someone truly in calamity keeps brahmacharya automatically, because a disturbed mind cannot even think of touching one's wife; so if you are not keeping it, you have no genuine trouble and are cheating God, yourself and everyone else. Without it, he says, doubt keeps growing and you will not even have the strength to do five Malas of Japa at a time; your condition will deteriorate.
Shringar puja and nimbu bali to Bhairav after the Mahabhairav prayoga succeeds
The speaker says this mantra is richly endowed with agni tattva, an Ugra mantra in which four Bhairavs operate, so by Bhairava ji's grace the work is certainly accomplished in full. When the work is accomplished, give him shringar puja and Bali: in bali only coconut bali and Nimbu Bali, at least 18 lemons or a Mala of 108 lemons, give him full seva-puja and keep him pleased. By Bhairav ji's grace, he says, many works get done.
Worship at home after the Mahabhairav prayoga: Batuk Bhairav form only
The speaker says that if you do the path and puja of this at home, that is only afterwards, not in the beginning: at the start, as long as karan (Madira) is being offered, it happens at the temple. When you do it at home, lighting a four-faced lamp is no longer compulsory; you may light a one-faced lamp, and you worship the Batuk Bhairava form. At home, he says, you will not install the form of Mahabhairav or Kaal Bhairava.
The Mahabhairav prayoga is never to be done for other people
The speaker warns that once this Prayoga has been done and has worked, it does not mean you may now start doing it for others. People get their own work accomplished and then begin doing that same prayoga for someone else, and then their ruin begins; they cry that earlier the work happened and now it does not. When a prayoga is done for others, he says, the vidhan for all that is different. This is a prayoga only for an emergency: when your life is about to be lost and the law, the administration, organisations and society are none of them helping you; in such an adverse situation one should take this sharanagati and do this prayoga.
Can all siddhis be obtained by the guru mantra alone?
Asked about the Mahabhairav mantra, he says it can be used now by taking a sankalp, and that is all he will be able to tell just now. All mantras, he says, are not equal even to the sixteenth kala of the guru mantra. Asked then whether all siddhis can be got by the guru mantra alone, and if so why so many kinds of sadhana are needed, he says it is Mahamaya's own leela; the statement is entirely true in its own place that everything can be obtained through the guru mantra.
Which Bhairav mantra should be used for sadhana?
The sadhana mantra of Kaal Bhairav, the Mahabhairav mantra, has been given on the channel Mahakal Status Official, the speaker says. Bhairav ji's sadhana should be done with that mantra; it is pranav-rahit. Also, it is a mantra samputed with the Bhairav beej, and any woman or man may do its sadhana without any doubt or hesitation whatever.
Affordable self-done anushthans against a maran prayog, with Mahabhairav rated highest
The speaker says that if one cannot afford large anushthans like a Saptashati, which cost twenty to twenty-two thousand rupees, but can do some puja-paath oneself, one should do an Anushthana of the Hanuman Chalisa or bajrang-baan. Best of all in his view — whose results the channel repeatedly shares — is the Mahabhairav anushthan: fine if already done beforehand, but if one is only turning to it after trouble strikes, at least begin its paath. Alternatively the Sarvarishta Nivaran Stotra, on the Siddh Sabri Vidya channel, can be done as an anushthan at home to protect the family and the afflicted person.
The Aapada Uddharak Batuk Bhairav Ashtottar Satnam suits a beginner best — with its two or three nyasa procedures left out at first.
The Aapada Uddharak Batuk Bhairav Ashtottar Satnam Stotra is the most exact for a beginning practitioner. It carries two or three Nyasa procedures — do not attempt them at the start. Do the Viniyoga simply and recite the 108 names, before an installed Trishul or a picture of Batuk Bhairav.
What does it mean if a mantra is forgotten in the middle of japa?
Nothing. It is an ordinary thing and not a subject to think about. If the mantra is long we forget a little; even reciters of Vedic mantras forget, and it happens often. There is no need to be troubled by it — nor by the clove and camphor falling from the hand.
May a japa mala be worn round the neck after japa?
Asked whether one may wear the mala round the neck for five or ten minutes after japa, seated on the asana, do another path, then wash the sumeru with water and put it back, the speaker says never make this mistake in life. Whoever gave that advice, and the videos that go viral on it — those people have no knowledge of these things at all.
What is done with the mala after a Mahabhairav anushthan?
After performing an anushthan of Mahabhairav once, that mala is to be worn after the anushthan is complete, and each day one mala of japa is to be done and it is then worn round the neck for one's own protection. Japa is to be done lifelong on a second mala, and after that the mala is not to be changed.
Can Dattatreya's 108-name tarpan and the pitr rite be done on the same day?
Asked whether the 108-name tarpan of Bhagavan Dattatreya ji for the kula pitrs and the pitr rite can both be done on one day, and whether to do it on the 26th or 27th, he answers: do it early in the morning on the 27th; if it is to be done in the afternoon, then do it on the 26th. Asked by someone who has accomplished the siddhi of the Kaal Bhairav Ashtak whether he may do this besides Mahabhairav, for help, he answers: you certainly can.
At what time should Bhairav and Shani be worshipped?
Keep the time of the puja and seva of Bhagavan Kaal Bhairav, Bhagavan Batuk Bhairav, Bhagavan Mahabhairav and Shani Deva from after sandhya, when it begins to grow a little dark, until night, he says; and keep this one before sunrise in the morning. It is very greatly fruitful.
Does sutak affect a bronze kada worn with a Mahabhairav mantra?
Asked about a bronze kada on which the Mahabhairav mantra was japped and worn, which was removed before mrit Sutak applied, he answers that no effect of sutak-patak will fall upon a bronze kada — stay free of anxiety. A kada of silver, bronze, brass or copper that you are wearing is pure as soon as you bathe.
What makes the Kamakhya mandal a Mahachakra?
Ordinarily the six Mahadurgas are worshipped in the Shatkona. But Kamakhya's own principal form has six faces — so in that Mahadurga mandal a doubled Avaran worship takes place, with six separate Bhairavs alongside; and at the principal place Bhagavati Kamakhya is worshipped with Umananda Bhairav. That is why it becomes a Mahachakra.
Is a fast kept during Ambubachi?
These four days a fast is not to be kept — but japa certainly is. Whichever Kavach you have been reciting — the Mahabhairav Mala Mantra, the Batuk Bhairav Brahm Kavach, Bhagavati Kalika's Kavach — perform the Purashcharan of that same Kavach these four days, completing a hundred recitations each day.
What should a sankalpa against a person causing harm ask for?
That this person is causing harm in this manner, is acting against Dharma — Lord, grant him a fitting punishment. That is what the Sankalpa should be. The prayogas of Mahabhairav and the rest do carry the enemy's name and Gotra, but never take the Sankalpa of his Maran.
A Vrindavan sadhak did no prayoga himself, and after a year and a half his mantra's deity turned the same harm back on his enemies
His example: a man from the Vrindavan region, wholly distressed at first, who has been doing sadhana about a year and a half. Today, whatever used to happen to him is happening in his enemies' house, the same to the same. He performed no Tantra Vidya — only Mahabhairav, reciting at the Bhuteshwar Mahadev temple.
Mahabhairav or Batuk Bhairav?
If there is trouble from an enemy, then do Mahabhairav; otherwise do Batuk Bhairav ji's. And more than Batuk Bhairav's mantra the speaker stresses the Ashtottar Satnam, because it is wondrous in itself — its use runs in the order of creation, sustenance and Shringar.
How can Tapobal be increased without formal initiation, and how long does the process take?
Reciting Lord Shiva's Panchakshari Mantra according to Varna and form, along with mastering a protective Kavach, raises Tapobal without requiring initiation — followed by a Siddhi Vidhan of a Bhairav or Maha Bhairav stotra/mantra, the whole process taking at least 3 to 6 months.
When should protective mantras and Kavach be recited aloud versus silently?
Kavach and Stotras are generally recited aloud rather than silently, aloud recitation of fierce mantras like Maha Bhairav suits moments of extreme fear or black-magic affliction, but chanting stays whispered or mental in temples and for personal Siddhi work, while Beej Mantras within a stotra are always chanted silently.
Can the Yogini Archan be done in a house that keeps no Kalash?
Absolutely do the Archan of the sixty-four Yoginis and the Nama-japa. But you cannot eat food with garlic and onion. Where a Navratri custom is kept in the house, all the more should the custom be kept properly.
The visual shows the Mahabhairav form from whose mouth flame issues, as his dhyana mantra describes
The speaker says the video being watched relates to a form of Mahabhairav from whose mouth the flame of fire issues, and that this subject comes in that form's dhyana mantra.
Mahabhairav should be taken up after the initial sadhanas, his stotra having that capacity today
After the initial sadhanas, certainly do Mahabhairav, he says. In today's time there is that kind of capacity in his stotra; a great deal can happen.
The count builds to thirty lakh Panchakshari, after which Mahabhairav is done with samput
You will get the practice, he says, and will comfortably do a hundred malas of Panchakshari in an hour. When you have done five lakh of Panchakshari, then ten lakh, then twenty lakh, and go on until the day you take it to thirty lakh — then when you sit to do Mahabhairav, after forty-one days the forty-second day will not be able to stay empty. Doing samput with this same Panchakshari, again and again, you will keep Mahabhairav awakened.
Where should a mantra be perfected before going to a tirtha?
In five or six months a great difference will have come, he says, and only then should you go to a tirtha and perfect the mantras. Before that, perfect the mantras in a temple: if it is the Mahabhairav mantra, then perfect it in a Shiva temple alone. Do only one mala of japa — he says he is not saying you must do a hundred malas of Mahabhairav; but Panchakshari after five lakh.
When should the japa of the Mahabhairav mantras be begun?
The japa of the Mahabhairav mantras should be begun, he says, at the least when five lakh japa of Panchakshari has been completed; after that one should begin doing its japa daily, making samput.
The prayoga is used when such tantra is felt to be working on you or a family member
Whenever it seems to you, he says, that a prayoga of tantra of that kind is being made upon you or upon any member of your family — at that time you should use it.
Freedom from the pret should have come much earlier than it did, and the fluster and non-acceptance held it back
A listener writes his thanks: what had been fed has come out, freedom from the pret has been obtained, and he had been doing japa of the Mahabhairav mantra since August. In my view this should have happened much earlier, the speaker replies — you simply did not accept, you used to get very flustered, saying it is not happening, it is not happening. But we too will appreciate that you finally won, because you were very flustered and yet you did not leave off doing the work. The dedication should be like this boy's: he lives in a hostel, was afflicted for four years and his condition became very bad, but doing sadhana and the rest on his own strength he has today become well by the grace of Mahabhairav.
Which deities are prescribed for a house under uchchatan?
When the matter has reached that state, the speaker says, take the mantra of the fierce deities — whether Hanuman ji's Batvanar, or the kavach of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji, or the stotra and Satnam of Batuk Bhairav ji, or the paath and process of Mahabhairav ji — and any one of these, even if only for a week, awaken it or make it siddh, sitting first in a Shiva temple or in a Bhagavati temple.
For protection from a distance, Mahabhairav and Vamati Kali are each excellent in their own place — stop comparing
Asked whether, for protection from a distance, Vamati Kali is more suitable than Mahabhairav, the speaker says it depends on what kind of puja and seva you do. Both are excellent in their own place; there is no question of suitable or unsuitable here. Stop comparing, he says — do not keep comparing who is proper and who is not. The question is: to whom are you able to surrender.
Prerequisites before a first Mahabhairav anushthan
To a listener who has done no sadhana yet but wants a 41-day Mahabhairav mantra anushthan with an Akhand Jyot at home because of household trouble, the speaker says the Mahabhairav video never told anyone to do that sadhana at home at the start — the first time, it is not to be done at home at all. Taking up Mahabhairav directly without Tapobal will leave you badly unbalanced. First do at least five lakh japa of the Panchakshari Mantra — if not five lakh, then sava lakh without fail — and only then begin Mahabhairav japa at a temple by the vidhi; once the mantra is done, start your prayoga of the stotra with Samput.
Can the sadhana of Mahabhairav be done, and what if there is no kundali?
He tells the listener Jai Singh that he too can absolutely do the sadhana of Mahabhairav. Asked how anything can be told about those who have no kundali, he says: by the hand, by hastarekha.
How much of the Bhairav mahamantra should be done on an ordinary day?
On an ordinary day do at least one mala of the Bhairav mahamantra, he says. There is no need for a chaumukh lamp on other days: the chaumukh lamp is for when a special sadhana is done; otherwise an ordinary lamp.
Where is the vidhan of the Mahabhairav mantra given?
To a questioner who has written out a mantra, he says there is a video of this very mantra on the channel and that he has told this whole vidhi vidhan there. Listen to that video on the Mahabhairav mantra; it is a viral video with views in lakhs, and on seeing it you will understand the whole vidhan, which has been told in full detail.
The Mahabhairav sadhana already given is to be repeated in this Gupt Navratri
Asked for advance sadhanatmak guidance for Navratri by a sadhak of the dedicated group, he says that the Mahabhairav sadhana that has been given, which was to be done three times — it seems to him that everyone has done it only once — should be done again in this Gupt Navratri.
Two-lemon rule when using a mantra awakened with nimbu bali
The speaker says the rule to remember is that whenever a mantra sidh-ed with nimbu bali is later used for anyone's tantra work or anything else, two lemon balis are due: one cut over (or near) the head of the person for whom the prayog is done, and a separate seva bali to the mantra's deity when the work succeeds or is completed — the bali for the work is one thing, the bali after completion another. With Mahabhairav, for example, if even 1% success comes, a bali in Mahabhairav's name is to be given at once, on completion.
Bhairav seva-puja through the Mahabhairav mantra vidhan
After guru and Ganpati, the speaker says, comes Bhairava ji: one is to do Bhairav ji's seva-puja. For this a vidhan of the Mahabhairav mantra has been given on his channel; one may do that sadhana and jap it. With this the three arambhik sadhanas are complete.
After eight thousand japa of the Bhairav mahamantra one should keep increasing the count and hold to that one mantra alone
Asked about 8000 japa of the Bhairav mahamantra having been completed, he says to increase it further. What will happen from 8000 japa? If they are not taking effect, keep increasing them. Do exactly this one; catch hold of one alone and walk a long way with it.
May the Mahabhairav mantra be taken up?
The Mahabhairav mantra can absolutely be done, he tells Anant ji — as much as your capacity is, as much as you can manage.
The Mahabhairav mantra may be done on Batuk Bhairav Jayanti
Yes, Anant ji, the Mahabhairav mantra can be done on the jayanti.
What should Bhairav sadhaks do with their mantras in this Sawan?
Those who have been doing Bhairav ji's vidhi vidhan till now, and those doing the Mahabhairav mantra, are told not to do a prayoga. This time the Mahabhairav mantra is not to be used in prayoga but to be strengthened. Everyone should strengthen their mantras in Sawan, which is better because Purushottam Maas is alongside — the mantra will bear fruit much more, and siddhis too will come at once. Whether it is the ashtottara shatanam of Bhairav ji, the Batuk Bhairav hriday, the Mahabhairav stotra or the Mahabhairav mantra, do the same vidhi vidhan you did before, in the same place — the Shiva temple if that is where you did it, at home if that is where. This whole sixty days will be dedicated, and there is no restriction of hour in Sawan.
What should Mahabhairav and Bhagavati sadhaks offer on the yatra?
Those doing the siddhi of Mahabhairav, or doing maximal japa of the Mahabhairav stotra and his mantra, will likewise make the aak flower abhimantrit with that and offer it upon Baba, at whichever place they are going. Those who have done sadhana of the mantras of Bhagavati for so long will do maximal japa of Bhagavati's mantras themselves and will offer the flowers and the rest, having made them abhimantrit. Bilva patra too can be made abhimantrit.
Where is the origin of the Shmashan Bhairav form described, and who may worship it today?
The chief and original form of the Shmashan Bhairavs is the one we can name with proof, he says, because the puranas describe it. In the Shiv Mahapuran, in the kathas he has heard, the subject arises that at the time of the war the Shmashan Bhairav certainly arrived, and many forms of the Bhairavs came to fight on Bhagavan Shiva's side. But in the Kalika Purana there is a very detailed description of how the Shmashan Bhairav form of Bhagavan came into being and what its purpose is. Today, he says, the pujan of this form is limited to the tantric parampara acharyas remaining in kula paramparas — and that is proper — but ordinary sadhaks should, at the divine times, perform its avahan and pujan to the best of their capacity even by the sattvik dakshinacharya vidhi, so that we may be protected.
Is Shmashan Bhairav the same as Mahabhairav?
The Shmashan Bhairav form of Bhagavan is itself called the Mahabhairav form, he says — Mahakal Bhairav, Mahabhairav. By tantra bheda the two forms are indeed separate, but in their mula swaroop there are many similarities, and the mantra of each of them is called a mantraraj.
What falls on the day before the Purnima?
And one day before it, he says, is the day of that Bhagavan Mahabhairav, the Shmashan Bhairav, whose avataran and form they had been discussing in connection with the Kalika Purana.
How was Shmashan Bhairav born, according to the Kalika Purana?
When the war between the two was over and Bhagavan Varaha had gone back into his mula swaroop, he says, then Bhagavan Sharabha began to send all his forms back into their mula swaroop — the eight ashtamurti he had taken shelter in, having gathered eight separate murtis to assume the Sharabha form. When all the forms had gone back to their places, from the mula swaroop that remained the birth of Bhagavan Shmashan Bhairav took place; he assumed the form of Shmashan Bhairav. The description, he says, you will find in the 53rd adhyaya, and they have written it in the video description too.
How many arms does the Shmashan Bhairav form have?
There is a full description of his form, he says: he has eighteen arms. Think about it — how the arms are connected with shakti, what is said about it, upon whom he is present; the eighteen-armed Durga, the sixteen-armed Durga who has been called Bhadrakali, what the connections are. The whole subject, he says, will go on becoming clear to you from this.
On which tithi should Mahabhairav be worshipped?
The description there, he says, is that Bhagavan Shmashan Bhairav, Mahabhairav, having become present, and of the pujan of Bhagavan Mahabhairav — that on the tithi of Chaitra Shukla Chaturdashi the pujan of Bhagavan Mahabhairav should be performed.
How is Mahabhairav worshipped in the shamshaan, and who may do it?
The chief form of Mahabhairav, he says, is the ugra form, and it is worshipped chiefly in the shamshaan by the vamachara vidhi vidhan, in which mans bali and so on take place completely. This is a written matter too, he says, but it is for sadhaks — the initiated, and those who know the vidhi vidhan. Those who do not have that knowledge should at least take the shelter of that form in a Shiva temple and protect themselves and their kula and vansh.
Three anushthans fall on the Mahabhairav Chaturdashi, one of them in the shamshaan and restricted to initiated shamshaan sadhaks
Mahabhairav pujan you have all been doing for a long time, he says, but the special tithi is the Chaturdashi. Whatever anushthan takes place through them is a separate matter — three anushthans will take place in it. One will be in the shamshaan, into which no one will have entry; only those initiated shamshaan sadhaks will perform it, and in it, he says, be entirely clear that bali vidhan and everything else takes place exactly as directed in the shastras.
What is the form of Shmashan Bhairav as described?
If a shamshaan pujan is going on in the night of Tara Navami or Ashtami, he says, then the pujan there will be by the vidhi vidhan of the shamshaan alone. And the form of Shmashan Bhairav is one that wears the garland of the hands of dead human beings, sits upon them all, and whose whole anointing is done with rakta chandan and blood and the like.
What is the purpose behind the form of Shmashan Bhairav?
That form is not as it is for no reason, he says. Giving gati after death, giving mukti, protecting those forms, and the whole matter of the sadgati of atmas — all of this comes under that form.
When else are the pitr present, and what happens at death?
Every year in the Pitr Paksha the presence of the pitr will be established, he says; believe it or not, it will be established. And the day you die you too will become one — you will remain a bhoot and go as a bhoot, or remain in the pitr category and go as a pitr. And at the time of death it is hello, how are you with the Shmashan Bhairav; from there too, he says, you cannot get away.
What goes with you at the end?
A grihastha is never successful without Narayan's grace, he says. Having dealt with Bhagavati Kamakhya, Bhagavati Shashthi, Bhagavan Narayan and Bhagavati Saraswati, at the very last you will meet Bhagavati Shmashan Kali and Bhagavan Shmashan Bhairav. And there neither your Maruti car will go, nor your Range Rover, nor your mansion worth crores. What will go is what we discuss on this channel — do the panchakshari japa.
The Chaturdashi falls on a Friday night, when the deep daan vidhi of Bhairav ji should be done at a Shiva temple or at home
This time the Chaturdashi falls on a Friday, he says. On that Friday, everyone listening should perform the deep daan vidhi of Bhairav ji — whether at a Shiva temple or at home, certainly do it. The Chaturdashi is on Friday night. It will be best if you do it in the night; if you do it at midnight it is extremely divine; otherwise certainly do it in the evening.
What if a person cannot afford the full deep daan?
People say there is no money for jalebi, none for bada, that they cannot make bada, that they cannot manage so many lamps, that there is an expense of a thousand or two thousand. If a thousand rupees is not possible, he says, there is no difficulty. Do it in whatever is the least you can manage — even if you have only five lamps, five lamps will do. But do it; certainly do it, because it is a written matter.
What is the order of what should be done on the Chaturdashi?
Do the deep daan first — that is the very first thing for Bhagavan Bhairav ji, he says. Those who have Bhairav ji's shri vigraha, a temple and so on, and all those who keep a vigraha of Bhagavan Batuk Bhairav ji at home, should do his snan, shringar, pujan, deep daan, arti and havan. Make the whole day Bhairavmaya.
Where should the Mahabhairav mantra be japped?
If possible on that day, he says, do the pujan in the day and certainly also in the night, and go to a Shiva ji temple for the japa of the mantra of Mahabhairav ji. If you have not done Mahabhairav until now, then whoever your kula devata may be, you can certainly go to a Shiva ji temple and do the japa.
What should existing Mahabhairav upasakas do on the Chaturdashi?
Those who have been performing the upasana of Mahabhairav from before, doing the japa of his mantras and his sadhana, should either begin from that day and do a seven-day or an eleven-day sadhana, and failing that certainly do at least one day's. Even eleven malas of only the mantra japa, he says — he is not speaking of the stotra; the Mahabhairav Stotra given by the swami of the Datia Peeth is not the subject here, and its dedicated video covers the whole vidhi vidhan.
How many malas and how much havan are prescribed for Mahabhairav?
He is not discussing the vidhi vidhan either, he says — only the ordinary japa of the mantra. From five malas up to eleven or twenty-one malas, as much as is possible. And as much havan as is possible: do it of one mala, or do it of eleven malas.
Of the three Mahabhairav anushthans only the rajasik one's video is put up; shamshaan material is never shown at all
One anushthan of Mahabhairav is of the shamshaan, he says, and the second is a rajasik anushthan. The rajasik one will be the one whose video is put up; of the shamshaan one they never put up any material at all, and it should never be shown. And the third, because it is Hanuman Jayanti, is of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji, of Markateshwar Hanuman ji — who is also called shamshani, masani Hanuman ji — and of Bal Hanuman ji in particular, in the night kaal.
Who may take the bhog of which Bhairav?
Whatever bhog or prasad is offered when you do Bhagavan Kaal Bhairav's puja in a temple, women are not to accept it and it is not to be given to them. Batuk Bhairav's bhog — offer him boondi ka laddu, or whatever you offer — may be accepted equally by women and men alike. The bhog offered in Mahabhairav pujan, whose mantra is on the channel, may likewise be accepted by everyone if the pujan is done at home; everyone may take the prasad.
Which Bhairav sadhana can a listener begin with?
Begin from here, he tells a questioner: either do the sadhana of the Mahabhairav mantra, or do the Ashtottara Satnaam sadhana which is recorded and will be uploaded the next morning. Those in greater difficulty may also do the Bhairav Hriday, and it will be good.
Can havan be performed daily in the Mahabhairav sadhana?
It will be entirely right to do havan daily in the Mahabhairav sadhana, the speaker says. Asked separately about a prayoga from the Rudra mantra, he asks which Rudra mantra the questioner has done, and notes that of those he has posted, only the Ishan Rudra has been given — and that one for employment.
What can be done when someone has bound your Bhagavati and taken her away?
A listener writes that his cousin, a tantrik, deceitfully applied akshat and sindoor to his forehead and thereby bound his Bhagavati, and asks how to get her back. When anyone takes your shakti into bondage, the speaker says, he has given three or four prayogas for its undoing on this very channel; the bandhan will also open by the mantra prayoga of Mahabhairav. Since the man is your brother he will have full knowledge about you. So perform the Mahabhairav anushthan that has been given.
Can the Mahabhairav mantra be used for the puja of the gram devata?
The speaker directs the questioner elsewhere: the vidhan of the pujan of the gram devata, and the vidhan for their grace, has been given separately on the Siddh Sabari Vidya channel, and the whole method is there — you may use that prayoga.
Where is the Mahabhairav mantra available?
The Mahabhairav mantra has been given on the channel, the speaker says — search for it, and if you search on YouTube for Mahabhairav mantra Grihastha Tantra it will come. Listen to it: he has told the whole Mahabhairav mantra in the middle of the video. There is no PDF of it; it will appear on the screen in the middle of the video itself.
How should bhog be offered so that bhoot-pret cannot eat it?
That depends upon the house, the speaker answers. To another listener asking for a Batuk Bhairav mantra anushthan, he says there will be no need of a Batuk Bhairav mantra anushthan — do his Mahabhairav mantra, it will be the best of all, and everyone will be included in it; and secondly, the Batuk Bhairav Ashtottara Satnamavali will be given, so do that.
How is the bandhan of a kuldevi opened by tantra vidya?
If the bandhan has been done by tantra vidya, look at the Mahabhairav vidhan, the speaker says — he has written on the thumbnail itself that if the kuldevi is bound for any reason, she is released by the Mahabhairav mantra. Because when you take a sankalp that you are performing the Mahabhairav mantra anushthan for the release of the kuldevi's bandhan, and Mahabhairav has so many forms within him — Kaal Bhairav, Batuk Bhairav, Bhoot Bhairav, Mahabhairav, all of them — then when they move, when any of their ganas move, they know for what purpose the invocation is being made, and they will come and open it. Do the anushthan in a manner suited to that.
