Other sadhanas
Notes from our sources
What sadhana is there for getting a house of one's own when the vastu is bad?
Asked by a listener living in his aunt's flat, where the whole vastu is upside down and there is a toilet in the ishan kon, for a sadhana so that his own separate house may come about, the speaker says: taking this very sankalp, perform the anushthans that were described yesterday.
Should one set an upper limit on the number of paths?
Never apply the rule that we will do only 100 paths, only 1000, only 11000, only three months — no. Do as much as possible. If you master only this, there is in it a way out of bhoot, pret, pishaach, nazar, drishti and shatru badha, and of obstacles to wealth, of a job not coming, of the ill effects of Rahu, Ketu, Shani and cruel grahas, and of the durayoga of the marakesh.
How should the sankalp be worded?
The wording he gives is: Prabhu, this work is intractable, let this work be completed, this is a dharma-yukta work, no one is going to be harmed by it, this work of mine is not getting done. Please give such kripa upon us that this work be completed swiftly, and let all the obstacles present in the path of this work be destroyed.
What samput is prescribed for obtaining a work-from-home job?
Asked what upay to do for obtaining a work-from-home job, he says: whatever the desire is, this time do the Saptashati making a samput with the mantra "Yam yam chintayate kamam tam tam prapnoti nishchitam", at night; and in the sankalp keep only one single desire, the work-from-home one. On the last day, apart from the samput mantra, do one svaha ahuti, and in the Saptashati either the ahuti of the Tantrokta Devi Suktam or the ahuti of the eleventh adhyaya, mixing ghee and kheer.
How should one choose a line of study after the twelfth standard?
Look at the things related to the line in which your attraction is very great; have an analysis of the kundali done, as to what benefit it does, where your attraction is, in what your mind is very much set on going — and then choose it.
What is advised for someone in the field of music?
For the world of music there is a vidhan of Bhagavati Saraswati that has been given on the channel; take the sankalp in that itself and do it, and you will obtain a great deal of kripa.
Who may recite the Pauranik Surya mantra, and what is it prescribed for?
The speaker says that in today's time everyone wants a government job, and for that this mantra should certainly be recited twelve times daily while looking at Surya Narayan. For this, he says, you do not need the yajnopavita, and there is no need to look at whether it is a man or a woman: it is a Pauranik mantra, composed by Vedavyas ji.
Which anushthan helps a child in a competitive examination?
For a competition, if the whole matter of a government job is running, then he says again and again that the sadhana of Bhagavan Suryanarayan is very necessary. Tell your own child to do the one connected with him. If you do it yourself, how much of what you did will reach him? A sixth part is obtained. So tell him to take out a little time — at least let him get up in the morning and give arghya to Suryanarayan. And see what situation is being formed in his fifth bhav, and accordingly do the sadhana for his sake, or have it done, or take a sankalp and do it yourself.
Kali Panchban or Kali Raksha sadhana — which should be done?
Do the Panchban, he says — Kali Chaudas, Diwali. He remarks that all these sadhanas are on the channel and people simply do not look; the solution to every problem has been told entirely clearly and in expanded form. Do the Kali Panchban: those who have to use it for a job and the like, or for wealth and the like, and who hold Kali ji as their ishta, should not do a separate sadhana for Lakshmi ji but should use the Kali Panchban itself.
Why do I feel fear at home, and what should be done for a competitive exam?
Stop being confused, the speaker tells a questioner who feels fear: fear is felt at home because there is a dosha in that place, so bhay will certainly manifest; to come out of the fear you will have to make an effort of that level outside. Asked what sadhana or puja should be done to clear a UPSC or competitive examination, he says he has told this separately — for competition, the sadhana of one of the Panchanan mantras of Bhagwan Rudra, the Ishan mantra.
If an event occurred merely by a baba's saying it, nothing would be left to one's own faith and effort
He will say only this much, the speaker tells the questioner: that if some event were to occur merely by a baba's saying it, then what indeed is left. If you wish to become an IAS, then have faith in yourself, and take hold only of those in whom you have the greatest trust and faith. Whatever seva-puja you can do within a limit, according to your strength and capacity, take hold of it regularly — for instance, if you worship Shiva ji, then you may do japa of Shiva ji's satnam and his Ishan mantra, pranav-rahit, and may recite his kavach. And while doing all this, make preparation for your ishta, and leave the rest to them.
Prescribed for an ill effect of Ketu in the janma kundli, and for progeny, wealth, vidya or a competitive examination that will not yield.
If there is an ill effect connected with Ketu in the janma kundli, this sadhana should be done. Whether the matter runs from the birth of children to something connected with wealth, or the obtaining of vidya, or a competitive examination in which success is not being obtained — for that too this sadhana may be done. In his reckoning every person should certainly do this sadhana in their life.
What can be done for success in a competitive exam during a Rahu mahadasha?
Absolutely something can be done, the speaker says, but it depends first on which bhava Rahu stands in and what the lagna is. If Rahu is going to give a good effect he will create concentration and cause very little wandering; if he is going to give a slightly negative effect, the person will prepare less for the exam and imagine the result far too much — that if we become an IAS we will become the DC here, the magistrate there — and will not study. That is Rahu bad effect: the person imagines a great deal. Since Rahu is the foremost devi upasak, do the path of the stotra and satnam of Bhagavati, which is best, and perform abhishek of Bhagavan Shiva. If the suffering is very great, then Kirtimukh Shri Maharaj will catch hold of it directly, but his method becomes somewhat tantric.
What can be done for a government job besides hard work?
Asked by a listener who says he is doing all the hard work for a government job but would like some upay as well, the speaker says that for one who specifically wants a government job, there is material on the channel for Bhagavan Surya Narayana and for Bhagavan Ganpati ji. And according to the birth kundali, according to the lagnesh, certainly have an analysis done once of the position of Surya Dev and of Shani Dev; if some prayoga or vidhan is formed accordingly, do that too, so that you get benefit in this as well.
Shani gives great abundance in fields of work where speech itself must be displayed, as with anchors.
By the effect of speech the sadhak can do a great deal, he says. If he is doing work in his field in which speech itself must be displayed — as anchors do — Shani Deva gives him great abundance in it. Where it seems a matter can never come off, there too, by the effect of speech, there is full hope of it coming off.
How does the tenth bhava work in one's field of work?
In the field of work too they give a very good effect, he says, but there they see how good a person you are. If you take your position, your post, your success by climbing over the corpses of others, then they bring you down in the same manner. Official politics: success in the field of work will be given at once, and anushthans of sadhana were done for it. But if you have trapped someone wrongly and blocked his promotion, caused someone great loss out of malice, and are taking the promotion yourself — you will get it. In time, however, its loss comes in the same way.
Loss comes either by being trapped in one's own post and position, or through one's own dear ones.
His loss will come either by his getting trapped in his own post and position and being ruined, he says, or whoever his dear ones may be — wife, husband, son, daughter — they will get trapped in the field of work and be ruined, and on their account he will weep his whole life: with whom did I do this, how did it happen? Look at police cases, he says, such things happen. In court, he himself once saw a very elderly, fine-looking man who asked him to write an application — it was for his son, that his suspension be cancelled, that he would not make the mistake again, and that this was a plea from their side.
Matriculation, twelfth, engineering, CA — each attainment brings only new struggle
In life you attain that you passed matriculation, he says — and what is obtained there afterwards? Afterwards more struggle is obtained. Do the tenth and much will be got; what will be got — a new struggle, that the twelfth is to be done. If you have brought more than 60 per cent, take science. Having taken science you understand nothing, what is inorganic and what is organic, and you stay stuck in it. Somehow the twelfth was done, and now the main thing begins: go into engineering, become a CA, become this.
Which desires are proper for the Ambubachi Anushthan?
In the Kamakhya Ambubachi Parva, worship with a desire — but keep the Anushthan wholly gentle, with some one desire of your own: someone's job, someone's business, the destruction of an illness. These are proper desires, as is asking that capability be obtained. Do not make some outlandish desire at this time.
How should the Ganesh Akhyan be recited daily through Bhadrapada month?
Recite it daily — about fifteen minutes — through the whole of Bhadrapada. Bathe Ganesh's Vigraha daily for that month, do a fine Tilak, offer Naivedya, offer Doob grass, recite the Sankat Nashan and then this Akhyan, holding whatever desire you have.
Whose sadhana should be done to master technical and computer knowledge?
Asked whose sadhana should be done for help in learning technical computer language and becoming a master in technical knowledge, he answers: you want technical knowledge in computers, and for that you wish to do sadhana — do that of Bhagavan Ganpati. Who is greater than him in buddhi?
Which devi's sadhana suits computer knowledge, besides Ganesh?
Asked, for computer knowledge, about a devi's sadhana other than Ganesh ji, he answers: ah, you wish to do a devi's sadhana — do the sadhana connected with Bhagavati Saraswati. If you do the sadhana connected with Neel Saraswati, then it will become tantrokta; if you can observe the rules, then do it. Otherwise, do that of Bhagavati Saraswati.
What should be done when poverty has reached its extreme?
A listener writes that his destitution has reached its limit, that when he thinks of a government job or any work at all his body begins to suffer greatly, and that no work happens, everything comes to a halt. For that, the speaker says, get an analysis of your janma kundali done once, certainly, by some learned jyotishi, so that it may be known what the subject is.
What sadhana would actually apply to cooking?
If you are entirely serious about it, the speaker says — if you wish to become a master chef or to advance in this line and want to do some such sadhana — then he would have to look into it once, because this question has come for the first time and he cannot say immediately. A Vidyadhar sadhana could be done in this, but which Vidyadhar would have to be looked at; some anga vidya connected with Bhagavati Annapurna would have to be done in this. He would have to see which anga vidya in the mandal pujan of Bhagavati Annapurna can ordinarily be done by anyone, so that taste comes into the very hand.
Clients leave at the precise moment, an exam is missed by a mark or two, and a good interview still finds some deficiency
Work in which success is not coming to hand; work already made that spoils; a business meeting where clients come and then leave at the precise moment; a job pursued with much effort; an exam missed by one or two marks so it does not clear; an interview that went very well and yet some deficiency remained and nobody knows why it did not happen.
How is a business establishment bound in practice?
The speaker says merely becoming bound does not by itself do the work. Taking a business establishment as the example: when a tantric kriya connected with bandhan is done there, the first thing is that whatever customers used to come, on account of whom the source of income existed, will have been stopped.
After the oath comes uchchatan, in which no customer's mind settles at the shop and they leave without buying
The second matter, the speaker says, is uchchatan: whatever customer comes there, any man or woman, to buy something, their mind will not settle there and the customers will flee. They will not like it, they will think of going somewhere else, they will run off from outside without even entering, and if they enter they will not stay.
A thriving establishment shows good-looking, well-spoken salespeople and a samohan that holds the customer there
The speaker says two things are visible at a shop that runs very well. First, the salesmen or sales girls there are very good to look at, good talkers, full of vak chaturya, with an attractive personality — you become samohit of your own accord and accept what they say, and many times they will convince you to take goods you did not even wish to buy, because they have their own technique.
Why do customers buy even at a shop where they are treated rudely?
The speaker says in many places the shopkeepers have no interest and behave very rudely, and yet you still take the goods and cannot say why — and the shop is packed and its sale runs. This, he says, is somewhere the punya bala, or the effect of an anushthan, or the presence of that deity and that shakti holding things bound: their energy is falling with force upon the energies of the customers present, and being pressed down the customers accept what is said.
What is the remedy for a bound business establishment?
Returning to the business establishment, the speaker says the first thing is the attraction of customers stopping — or a tantric process having been done on the chaukhat, on account of which the customers become uchchatit and do not come. Something may have been done on your gaddi; there are many vidyas of that kind, and they exist even now, and most of them, he says, are shamshani.
What is the upaya for obtaining a job?
Asked for an upaya for obtaining a job, he says the whole vidhan of the Ishan Shiv sadhana is there for obtaining a job. There is the one of Bhagavan Suryanarayan. And he says he will look further and put out more subjects connected with this.
The Hayagriva sadhana for memory and competitive examinations is already available to one who has chosen it himself.
Asked to tell the sadhana of Bhagwan Hayagriva for sharpening the memory and for success in a competitive examination, he answers that since you have yourself already chosen the sadhana and decided that this thing will be obtained only from the Hayagriva sadhana, it is available, and you can take it.
Which sadhana does he give for a government job and competitive exams?
Asked for a sadhana for a government job, where the competition is very great, so that the mind may be made sharp and the competitive examination passed, he says everything has just one chance, and that the vidhan of Ishan Shiv has been given on the channel. It is for exactly that; at least try doing it.
Very few ask for a sadhana that would settle the mind on study or show them their life's purpose
Very few people, the speaker says, ask for a sadhana that would let the mind settle on study, or that would bring success in life. Very few say that they are badly lost and do not understand what to do with their life, and ask for a sadhana by which the purpose itself would be attained — why do sadhana at all, why are we alive.
Can the Aparajita Stotra be recited daily?
Do it only if there is a need, he answers. Nowadays a man says to do it just like that. If you are seized by abhicharik kriyas, or have that kind of problem, or if you work in a field where you have to meet people again and again and convince someone — for instance if you are in the marketing field — then do it.
What should be done if one keeps falling short by one or two marks in a job exam?
To Shivani ji he says that if you are being left out of a job by one or two marks, no remedy is to be done for this. Do only this much: at the time of your job, whenever your exam is, if you sit for exams or go for interviews, go having taken the blessing of your mother and father. If there is a little trouble, the Sun and the Moon are strengthened by it; and when the Sun is strong, this little difficulty of yours will be removed. That is why the blessing of the parents becomes very necessary. If the difficulty is a little one, then this; if it is very special, then the things will have to be known.
How does uchchatan attack a householder's income?
The second is uchchatan, in which the mind will not stay settled in one place. You know that speaking well with a client will close the deal and you know how to get work from your subordinates, but you will not be able to speak properly, because the mind stays uchchatit and you keep running about.
Does property received from ancestors waste away under a dosha in the second house?
The speaker says property received from ancestors certainly wastes away, and whatever way you invest it, kshaya begins. If the analysis is done in advance and the related daan or japa performed, and a business is then started in the name of a wife or a sister rather than one's own, it becomes lower risk.
Which devi should be propitiated for entering politics?
Asked which devi should be propitiated for going into politics, the speaker answers: do it of Bhagavati Baglamukhi. You may do it of anyone at all, he adds, since all devis are all-capable, but chiefly do it of Bhagavati Bagla.
Which tattvas are present within Bhagavan Datta?
Within Bhagavan Datta, the speaker says, the tattva of Brahma ji the creator is present; the Shri tattva of Narayan, the sustainer, is present; and the Rudra shakti, the Rudra tattva of the deity of dissolution, is present. So if you need the capacity for creation within you — to become a teacher, a scientist, an engineer, to go into the medical profession, into any creative field at all — Bhagavan Datta will grant grace there.
What should be done when a livelihood has been blocked for months?
Remember one thing, the speaker says: wherever there is obstruction in obtaining work or livelihood, perform this prayoga with eyes closed, whatever your Lagna or Rashi, without seeing or hearing anything else — for livelihood, for the money needed to run a household.
What exactly is the twelve-Durva prayoga?
Take at least twelve blades of Durva ankur, the Doob grass, and offer one to Ganpati at home on each of twelve daily recitations of the Sankat Nashan. With it, Akshat — unbroken rice tinted lightly with turmeric or yellow sandal. Recite the twelve names, offer one blade and a little Akshat, and repeat twelve times in the morning.
Why is Maha Ganapati given by a Guru's order in the Shri Kula?
Because if you perform Maha Ganapati's sadhana duly — his Purashcharan done, his Tarpan procedure learnt, everything done by the rule — then you will not have to think about earning a livelihood for the rest of it. It will keep coming by his grace.
Should an Anushthan be done at home or at a tirtha?
We will not say go for every Parva Kala. But if there is some special Parva Kala, or one in which a crowd is unlikely, then go and do it there. The rest of the time, do it near your home.
For Simha lagna, how would the sadhana of the Aditya Hridaya Stotra be?
Akash ji writes that his lagna is Simha and asks how the sadhana of the Aditya Hridaya Stotra would be for self-confidence and strength, and for another stotra suggestion. It will be very good indeed, he answers — the Aditya Hridaya Stotra. Those who do the Aditya Hridaya Stotra should observe full brahmacharya, should look upon women with full respect, and should remain in full brahmacharya mentally as well.
What should be done before taking up a sadhana for the stock market?
For the stock market, the speaker says, first have the kundali analysed by some competent and learned jyotishi, and have your panchamesh, Rahu, bhagya and all of it examined, to see what the matter is and what will suit and what will not. Only then perform the sadhana connected with it, and there will be benefit.
The girl's charan pujan is done, naivedya offered, and she is sent off with dakshina and a gift.
Certainly do her charan pujan, that is the pujan of her feet. Wash the feet well, and having washed them do their shringar and then offer her naivedya and the rest — kheer, puri, chana, whatever she can eat, feed her that. And send her off after giving her some gift along with dakshina. Do this on every Ashtami and you will quickly be freed from this problem. Whoever is listening and has a state-related problem in life may do this prayoga, and Bhagwati shows grace very swiftly.
What should be done for the clearing of an exam?
For an exam to be cleared, first of all study, the speaker says. Secondly, a sadhana connected with Bhagavan Shiva has been given which is for exams alone — for any kind of government exam or an ordinary exam. All such people who sit for exams and interviews and the like should do it in a general way.
On Sunday the water goes to Surya, who is the karaka of the father, and the pitrs are satisfied by that
On Sunday you will not give it, he says — so you will be giving water to Surya. By giving water to Surya too the pitrs are satisfied. Surya is the karaka graha of the father. And for a good job: from Surya pujan a good job, from the puja of Ishan Shiva a good job, from the puja of your own kuldevi a good job; do the seva-puja of Hanuman, and a still better job from that.
What kinds of badha does the Krishna kavach guard against?
He says that along with this, if you do specific seva of Bhagavan Shri Krishna, then through this kavach — if any kind of abhicharik badha is present in your life, any graha-caused badha, any pret or pishaach caused badha — you are protected everywhere by it. Protection is had at the place of work, and advancement comes. Through this kavach, he says, every kind of benefit that ought to be in your life is obtained.
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.
To ruin someone's life is a very great sin, and the toxic senior who torments juniors bears it.
Before leaving the job, make one attempt, he tells Vijay Lakshmi ji. To ruin someone's life is a very great sin. Seniors of this kind, who display toxic seniority, trouble juniors and play with their careers, suffer very thoroughly when the time comes; and if not they, then their own children suffer greatly — and when the children suffer, the father is the same man. You will have seen many such people, he says: his father was a great officer, and the son turned out such a wastrel that he threw into the dust all the money and honour the father had built.
