Which specific mantras from Saptashati address specific problems like estrangement, debt, or negative energy?
Saptashati contains specific mantras for specific needs — attraction of an estranged person, protection from severe adversity and debt, auspicious events and marriage obstacles, removing ancestral or divine faults, and protection from negative energies and evil eyes.
Mahavidya and Hanuman prayogs against a bhagatwal chowki are done step by step, never directly
The speaker says that if the afflicted family finds a Mahavidyas sadhak or some strong sadhak, he does all the ordinary kaat measures and, alongside, uses his Mahavidyas and tells them to do kalpa vidhans too. But such things are never applied directly in tantra; it is always step-wise. For a person whose body is in pain, using them straight away is wrong and causes trouble — there is a small vidhan, but it is there: first do Bhairav ji's puja and Bali in a set way, then install even a small ansh of a temple at home, and only then proceed. Then bandhan shaktis are used — even Hanuman ji, if a good Hanuman sadhak is found: the Panchmukhi Hanuman or Ekadash-mukhi Hanuman vajra kavach and havan prayogs are taught and taken up as an anushthan, after which the shaktis the wrong bhagat had set on the house start getting beaten by Hanuman ji, the guard of Hanuman ji's dutas falls on the house, or the family obtains such protection from a properly awakened shakti-peeth such as Balaji, and the house is protected.
Kavach and vajra panjar for a home where badha stops all worship, siddh-ed in a Shiva temple
The speaker says that if the situation is such that you cannot do pujan at home and there is great unrest, you should awaken some mantra or tantrokta Kavach by doing its path for some days — at the least the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach, the Aghor Shiv kavach, the Indra Vajra kavach, the Indrakshi kavach, any kavach of Bhagavati Durga or of Kamakhya, or the Aprajita kavach; there are also stotras such as Vipreet Mahapratyangira and Maha-Vipreet, and the separate kavachas and vajra panjars of the Mahavidyas. A vajra Panjar has ten times the power of a kavach: panjar means the rib-cage, so it throws a full ring round the entity — a kavach only strikes, a vajra panjar binds and then strikes, so that it dares not return, and it can not only remove a pret badha but punish it. Any deity's vajra panjar, kavach or Mahavidya stuti should be understood properly and siddh-ed in a Shiva temple — with a Sankalpa, by vidhi-vidhan, keeping Brahmacharya and every rule, and never abandoned however great the obstruction or pain — in the temple, not at home. After a fixed time a shakti comes, or guidance comes, by which the badhas are pressed down; done only at home, it will be of no use if the badha is big.
What should a sadhak going to the Mahakumbh keep in mind?
Asked what things a sadhak should keep in mind in going to the Mahakumbh, and how the journey to Prayagraj should be made, he tells Rajiv ji that there will be a separate full video and a full live with good discussion on this subject. To Balram ji, asked whether the japa of Bhairav ji and Hanuman ji, the five-faced one, may be offered — yes, absolutely, he says, you may offer it.
Which shaktis need no kshetrapal nikari at all?
He says that certain shaktis are also used — for instance Panchmukhi Hanuman ji or Markateshwar Hanuman ji — and in their prayoga vidhi, even if kshetrapal nikari is not done, there is no need of it. Because whenever anything of Markateshwar tantra or connected with them is employed, whatever pret and paishachik badha there is will either be removed at once by their effect, or else it will have to be suppressed.
Where is it stated in scripture that pret and pishach are Hanuman ji's asana?
If you want to know this better and it feels to you that it is made up, the speaker says, recite the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach: in it there is a symbolic description of this, that Hanuman ji is upon the pretasan. Or recite the Hanumat Sahasranama, and you will find this thing in four or five places. Hanuman ji is upon the pret and pishach — that itself is his asana, and he sits upon it.
What is the havan vidhan for the five forms of the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach?
Each will have its own separate form and mantra, the speaker says. Beyond their dhyana mantra, the mantras of the five forms have been given, and you can do havan with those.
What is the warning about the Hari-Markat mantra?
The Hari-Markat mantra, the speaker warns, is a masani mantra — keep that in mind. Keep in mind which devi-devatas are worshipped in your house. If a shakti of pishachik form is worshipped and you are about to do a havan of Hanuman ji's Panchmukhi form and are offering ahutis with that Markat mantra, then, because someone is worshipped in the form of pishach, pret or masani, difficulty will come to them, and your trouble will increase. Then you will say that you did a havan of Hanuman ji and your trouble grew. Do havan with thought and understanding, he says.
What sadhana gives physical strength?
Perform the Vir-bhava sadhana connected with Bhagavan Hanuman ji while observing Brahmacharya; perform the Panchmukhi Hanuman sadhana; perform the Markateshwar Bhairav sadhana. Done after taking Deeksha it is excellent, as is a Samput recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa with the complete sadhana.
How should the deities of the panchayatan be worshipped day to day?
The speaker says everyone should keep the whole panchayatan, worshipping one deity chiefly and the others symbolically, and performing their special pujan on their own chief day when it comes. A vigreh of Hanuman ji, one-faced or five-faced, may also be kept at home.
May women touch a vigreh of Hanuman ji?
Asked because the listener had seen a woman applying oil to Hanuman ji's feet in a temple, the speaker says that apart from dakshinmukhi Hanuman ji, touch is also forbidden for Panchmukhi Hanuman ji; and where in a temple Hanuman ji's face looks towards the southern direction, touch is forbidden there. In the installation of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji, the acharyas who know the method make his asana, even if only symbolically, a pretasana — and for this reason a woman's touch is forbidden.
Is it right to worship a photo of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji at home?
The speaker says it is entirely right — why would it be wrong. Asked separately for the whole process of a havan for the Hanuman Chalisa at home, he says he will also put out the beginning process that comes before what has already been shown.
Should a vigrah of Panchmukhi Hanuman be fixed on the main door?
Asked whether the vigrah of Panchmukhi Hanuman should be fixed at the main door, he asks in return why a vigrah would be fixed there. Do not fix a vigrah; you may fix a pratik chinh, a swastika and the like. A vigrah should be kept in the puja sthan and worshipped. They stand at the door of Ram ji, he says — not at your door and mine.
When does the Hanuman sadhana begin, and which Kavach should be used?
From the Purnima tithi falling in Chaitra — Hanuman Jayanti — and running Purnima to Purnima, at least a month. Use either the Ekmukhi or the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach; where the house has a Pret or Pishach related fault, use the Panchmukhi.
What should be done if the positive shakti with us is not helping?
Asked what to do when one has some shakti and yet negative energy still troubles, the speaker says this is a matter to be seen: whoever the positive shakti with you is, increase that shakti. Suppose some gan of Hanuman ji is with you but is unable to cooperate with you — then you should perform the anushthan of one of Hanuman ji's forms, the one-faced, five-faced, seven-faced or eleven-faced, with the full vidhi vidhan. Along with it, the seva puja of Bhagavan Shri Ram and Sita ji should be done together with the Ram Darbar.
Panchmukhi Hanuman with a bija mantra is done only with diksha — and never without the bija
Asked whether Panchmukhi Hanuman can be done without the bija mantra by one who is diksha-taken, the speaker says that is not to be done at all. If it is to be done, it is done with the bija mantra alone.
Can the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach be made siddh in an abhichar-afflicted house?
The speaker says it depends on how bad the situation in the house is. If there is already upheaval and you begin the Kavach, the upheaval will increase and you will conclude the kavach made things worse. The reality is that the afflicting shakti gets disturbed by your paath while your own energy, being new to the practice, takes time to reach that level — so it disturbs you in return. Those afflicted by Abhichara who want to make bajrang-baan or the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach siddh, or do its anushthan or purashcharan, should best do it outside the house, in a Hanuman temple.
Which forms of Hanuman ji may not be touched, and by whom?
The prohibition on touching is not on every form, he says. Where Dakshinmukhi Hanuman ji is, there it is forbidden, because that is an ugra form; where Hanuman ji is seated on a pretasan, then it is forbidden that you touch. And it is not only for women: for the ordinary sadhak who has not obtained deeksha, whose deeksha has not taken place, it is also forbidden.
What must be installed in the place of an entity that has been removed?
And when you remove it, he says, after that you must certainly give a place there to some divine energy, some divine shakti relating to Sanatan culture — especially the Panchmukhi Hanuman form, or the form of Bhairav ji. Among Bhairav ji, give it in Batuk Bhairav; and do not think of Batuk Bhairav as an ordinary saumya Bhairav. He closes by saying that they will meet again after a somewhat longer time, and that meanwhile videos will keep coming on the channel.
Should hair and nails be cut during a sadhana?
To AK ji's remark that whenever a sadhana is being done, hair and nails should not be cut, he lets it stand. Asked whether the Datta Mala Mantra can be done in a temple of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji, he answers that it absolutely can be done.
Which is the shamshani form of Hanuman?
Panchmukhi Hanuman is chiefly held to be the shamshani form, as Masani Hanuman; and whatever form stands above that has its own separate dhyana svarup, and its puja too is done in that manner.
Which lamp should be given to Hanuman in the temple and at home?
In the temple, lighting a one-mukhi lamp for Hanuman is the best; if you light a lamp of ghee it is most excellent of all. At home you may do the seva-puja of a one-mukhi or a Panchmukhi Hanuman, whichever — there is no difficulty in it.
What should be known before the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach sadhana and havan?
He says it plainly: the mantra is very ugra. And as much ugrata as there is, expect that much testing as well. The greatest matter is that people become afraid. They ask for the sadhana and he posts it; afterwards such experiences come that he himself laughs. On the first day of the sadhana they will be frightened — but one is not to be frightened. The mool mantra of Panchmukhi Hanuman is exceedingly ugra.
What happens if a mistake is made in the Panchmukhi Hanuman puja?
Know this too, he says: Hanuman also beats. If you make any mistake at all in the puja of Panchmukhi Hanuman, even if you are doing only the kavach sadhana, then the veer ganas of Panchmukhi Hanuman do not delay in dropping kicks and blows on you in your sleep. And then, out of fear, the next day one thinks there is a pret in the house, that it struck me, that such a thing has happened — one is not to eat all this fear.
What should be done alongside the Panchmukhi Hanuman japa?
The japa of Ram's name or the path of the Ram Raksha Stotra will have to be done alongside. Before the japa of Panchmukhi Hanuman, it will be good if you make the Ram Raksha Stotra siddha — do at the very least 108 paths. It will be a great help; the level of energy will stay maintained, there will be balance, even if some mistake occurs.
What protects against the fifty-two kinds of veer?
Fifty-two kinds of veer have been told, he says; and if the fifty-two kinds of veer are set upon somebody, his survival is difficult. If it truly is so, then protection can come by the kripa of Sarveshwar Bhairav. Protection can come from the Aghor svarup of Bhagwan Mahadev. Protection can come by the prayoga of the Panchmukhi Hanuman, the Saptamukhi, the Ekadashmukhi. Protection can come from Bhagavati Pratyangira. Protection can come with the help of the most ugra forms of Kali ji. And by the japa of the Agni Gayatri within the Gayatri — that is, the Agni Gayatri of the mool Gayatri — there can be peace and there can be protection.
Can a garland of lemons be offered to Kali, and why is Panchmukhi Hanuman withheld?
A garland of lemons may absolutely be offered to Kali ji, he says. As for the complete vidhan of the mantra and kavach of Panchmukhi Hanuman: Ram Raksha he has already given; Panchmukhi Hanuman will have to be given. But before giving tantrokta things one has to think a little — what is to be told in common such that everyone will be able to do it? Because not everyone will observe it.
What should a family being harmed by a Tantrik do?
First be initiated in a tradition, then take the refuge of your own Aradhya. If your reverence is toward Hanuman ji, take the shelter of the Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach — it will tear the enemies apart. Do the Purashcharan of eleven thousand at a Hanuman temple, not at home.
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.
How did Hanuman ji come to Shri Ram in the dasya bhaav?
The speaker says that during the time of Shri Ram ji's vanvas, Maharshi Agastya ji gave him diksha of the Ekadash swaroop of Bhagavan Shri Hanuman ji and told him the vidhi of performing the sadhana. When Shri Ram did it, Bhagavan Ekadashmukhi, pleased by it, granted this blessing — call it a boon — and fulfilled it: that I shall always remain with you in the form of a servant. And he gave his help.
Who is the rishi of the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach?
The speaker says that when you go inside tantra you will see many such subjects. Read the kavach of Panchmukhi Hanuman, read the kavach of Saptamukhi Hanuman. In tantra it is described that the sadhana of Panchmukhi Hanuman was performed by Bhagavan Shri Ramchandra ji; and when you do the nyasa and viniyoga of the Panchmukhi Hanuman kavach, there too you will read Ramchandra rishi — that is, the making of that kavach and its first recitation, siddhi and grace were done first of all by Bhagavan Ramchandra. Consider, he says: he whose aradhya Rama is — Rama himself did the sadhana of that form so that friendship with Hanuman ji might be established, and that is the description.
What did the Panchmukhi form do at Ahiravan and Mahiravan's hands?
The speaker recounts that when Ahiravan and Mahiravan carried Rama ji and Lakshman ji away into Patal and were about to offer them as bali to Patal Kalika, it was this very Panchmukhi Hanuman ji who went and blunted their shakti and, having slain Ahiravan and Mahiravan there, returned.
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 should be done if the neighbours keep casting nazar on the house?
Asked about neighbours casting nazar, the speaker answers: do the bandhan of the chaukhat. Install a yantra of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji and the like upon the chaukhat — if nazar is falling upon the house again and again.
