A Lakshmi mantra begun on Akshay Tritiya eases financial distress, ant-infested Prasad goes to the ants or a cow, and a pet's death carries one day of Sutak
The Lakshmi Mala Mantra or Mahalakshmi Ashtakam, started on Akshaya Tritiya, helps with financial distress; ant-infested Prasad should be left for the ants or given to cows; Yantras should be kept clean and periodically bathed; and a pet's death carries a one-day Sutak (three days for a cow).
The Rudra Ashtakam path may be done according to one's capacity, and 108 paths daily may be attempted during Ambubachi
To Pratibha ji he says the path of the Rudra Ashtakam may absolutely be done according to one's capacity. To a listener who has begun the Lakshmi mala mantra japa, doing 27 paths daily and intending to try 108 paths daily during the Ambubachi parva, he says: very beautiful, absolutely do it.
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 should a householder do at home on this night instead?
For the rest, the speaker says, since in the house the matter is connected with Shri tattva, certainly perform sadhana connected with Bhagavati Lakshmi. Whether you do her mala mantra, do the kavach of Dhanada Lakshmi, do japa of Dhanada Lakshmi, or do a havan and the like. A havan done with paushtik samagri on the day of Purnima, and especially on Sharad Purnima, is exceedingly excellent.
What should someone already reciting a Lakshmi text do?
If you have been doing the paath of Dhanada Lakshmi from before, or the paath of the Dhanada kavach, or the paath of Bhagavati's mala mantra, the Lakshmi mala mantra and the like, then offer through that as well, the speaker says: bring a hundred and eight bilva leaves and do the Mahalakshmi mala mantra a hundred and eight times. Tomorrow is Wednesday, so there is no difficulty — you can comfortably pluck bilva patra. Recite over them, offer the bilva patra, and make kheer and offer it.
What can a non-sattvik eater do if he cannot do the Lakshmi mala mantra?
Asked by a listener who says his diet is not sattvik and who wishes to do the Dhanada Kavach Stotra in the virachara path instead of the Lakshmi mala mantra purashcharan, the speaker answers that one does not eat meat first thing on waking — one can rise, bathe and perform puja, so do that. He then criticises those who eat meat yet say bali is not offered to their deity: when it is brought home, the deity receives a portion regardless, and dosha attaches.
An Anushthan of Bhagavati Dhanada Lakshmi with the eight Mahalakshmis and Swarnakarshan Bhairav is planned for Sharad Purnima.
An Anushthan of Bhagavati Dhanada Lakshmi with the eight Mahalakshmis and Swarnakarshan Bhairava, contingent on the Swarnakarshan Bhairav practitioners attending. Those who took part previously should not re-take a Yantra — a single-night Sankalp is enough.
Will 108 paath of the Narasimha mala mantra have a negative effect?
If you are going to do 108 paath, the speaker tells Rishikesh, it will be better first to certainly do the stuti and the like of Bhagavan Narayana; and if you are doing 108 paath, then along with it also do eleven paath of Bhagavati Lakshmi's mala mantra. Do both.
Can the Mahalakshmi Ashtakam be done in place of the mala mantra?
The Mahalakshmi Ashtakam can also be done, the speaker says, but the Lakshmi mala mantra is already on the channel and doing that would have been more fitting. It becomes Lakshmi Narasimha: Bhagavati Lakshmi stands with Bhagavan Narasimha in his saumya form, as one of the eight shaktis. So since she is a shakti, her dashansh will be done and that will be suitable. Pratyangira too is used in this way, he says, but she will come into the most fierce.
What is done with the kamal gatta offered in the Lakshmi mala mantra path?
Asked what should be done the next day with the kamal gatta offered while doing path of the Lakshmi mala mantra ashtaka, the speaker says that for as many days as you wish to do the japa, you may do the japa again and again with that same kamal gatta. If you are doing archan, then the matter is different: if you are offering it after archan then that much will simply go to visarjan. If possible, you may also plant it, so that a lotus may blossom in it.
How many Anushthans does the Lakshmi Mala Mantra take?
How much brings the full fruit may differ for everyone. Ordinarily, once you have completed eleven thousand of a Mala Mantra, Kavach and the like, its effect begins to come into life — an effect that cannot be turned back. Afterwards, even eleven recitations daily will keep the grace running.
