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.
What is Shree Kalika Kavach and when is it used?
The speaker says the Kalika Kavach belongs to the Kalika Kalpa of the Rudrayamala Tantra and its viniyog is only for the destruction of enemies — there is no viniyog in it for the Devi's pleasure or love. It is for the most extreme situation: a person walking the path of dharma whose wealth, honour, family women, land or property are under the evil eye of a wicked man so strong in power, money and standing that no one can stop him, and the victim has no help from the administration and no money to act. In ordinary situations, he says, a Brahmastra is never used; use it for petty harm and you yourself will suffer the consequence.
Forty-day initial worship after installing Batuk Bhairav
The speaker says an initial worship of at least 40 days is excellent. If you have received a mantra, doing 40 Malas of Japa daily for 40 days is highly special. If you cannot, then recite the Batuk Bhairava Ashtottara Shatanama from the Rudrayamala Tantra at least 27 or 108 times every day, continuously for 40 days. Then, he says, whatever calamity comes — a tantra or abhichar attack, an enemy's conspiracy — Bhagwan pulls you out of that trouble and protects you, and establishes himself in part (anshatmak) at that place for the protection of your house and family.
Time for Baglamukhi Ashtottara Shatanama to destroy an enemy's abhichara
As his first example, the speaker says that when an enemy has done a parakritya Prayoga and one wants to destroy it, one recites the Ashtottara Shatanama of Bhagavati Pitambara from the Rudrayamala Tantra after taking a Sankalpa for the destruction of that Abhichara. This, he says, must be done at a fixed time: at night, after 9:00 PM.
Special case: abhichara linked to marana that has already struck the body
The speaker says that if the Abhichara is related to marana and has already struck someone's body with heavy effect, the recitation should start at 11:00 PM and be done between 11:00 PM and 2:00–2:30 AM. It must be done with a Sankalpa for the destruction of paratantra Prayoga, parakritya prayoga and all enemy-done hostile acts, naming the midnight hour and the Ashtottara Shatanama of Bhagavati Pitambara Bagala from the Rudrayamala Tantra. After the sankalpa one does the Japa and offers it to Bhagavati by the prescribed vidhi-vidhan.
Baglamukhi akarshana for a shop with no customers: godhuli bela and the turmeric-coconut kriya
For a business where customers are not coming, the speaker says the same 108-name Ashtottara Shatanama Stotra of Bhagavati from the Rudrayamala Tantra is used, but the Akarshana Sankalpa is taken in the evening, in Godhuli Bela. This sankalpa is not completed by recitation alone: haridra (turmeric) water is to be charged with mantra, and a coconut gaddi is charged and wrapped all round in black or raw turmeric, charged in the evening, and placed at different spots in the shop so customers are drawn. Customers who come should be given tea or water while taking Bhagavati Pitambara's name. He says the full vidhan of the wrapping is a separate matter he will explain some other time, and that no wrong prayoga is to be used for akarshana.
What is the actual scriptural authority on which mantras are bound or unbound?
The Rudrayamala's Devi Rahasya chapters lay out, deity by deity, which mantras Mahadeva bound and which He never touched — the same authority this discussion draws its claims from, including for Shiva's own Panchakshari.
Which mantras were never bound by Mahadeva at all?
Mantras of Shiva/Rudra's core forms — Maheshwara, Rudra, Mrida, Pashupati, Pinaki, Girisha, Krura Bhairava, Samhara Bhairava, Kalagni Bhairava, and others — including Shiva's own Panchakshari, were never bound in the first place.
Where do the yamala and tantra granths come from?
It is here, at the point where vairagya arose, the speaker says, that all the tantra granths we read arise — Rudrayamala, Vishnuyamala, Brahmayamala, Bhairavyamala, all the yamala granths, and all the sixty-four granths, the mahagranths, connected with tantra. In some you will see Shakti uvach; in some Parvati uvach; in some Bhairavi uvach. All of these are Bhagavan Shiva in different swaroops giving the knowledge relating to tantra to Bhagavati Sati, or Bhagavati Parvati, or Bhagavati Bhairavi.
What is the Chandi Shaap Vimochan mantra of the Rudrayamala Tantra?
After that, he says, there is the Chandi Shaap Vimochan mantra which stands in the Durga Kalpa of the Rudrayamala Tantra — through this too we can do it. If its upadesh is obtained from a competent acharya, then, having received the upadesh, we can do an independent, separate paath for release from whatever kinds of curse have attached in our life.
What does the Rudrayamala Tantra say about when each Charitra of the Saptashati is recited?
A listener states that in the Rudrayamala Tantra it is said that the Madhyam Charitra is for shubh karya, and the Pratham and Uttam Charitra should be done in the evening, as stated in Tripathi ji's Hindi tika. He answers: do it, you can do it — if you are completing it in a single day, you can do it.
I have done small anushthans for years and the mantra is memorised — what now?
Absolutely — all these things are never going to go from you, he says. If you do the initial sadhana of Bhagavati Pitambara, then do that one; if you are diksha-holding, do it accordingly. You may do the stotra and the satnamavali. There is Aghor Shabar, you may do that. There is a kavach, the Baglamukhi tantra kavach of the Rudrayamala — you may do that.
What ritual helps with favorable outcomes in legal or court matters?
For favorable outcomes in legal matters like divorce, recite the Pitambara Stotra and the Ashtottara Sahasranama from Rudrayamala at least 36 times in the evening or night, with one ghee lamp and one mustard-oil lamp, each with turmeric powder added, while taking a sankalpa.
Which kavach of Kaal Bhairav should be recited?
Asked which kavach of Kaal Bhairav ji should be recited, he answers by name: recite the kavach of the Rudrayamala; the Rudrayamala will be best of all. Read the phalashruti, he adds, and if it is written in the phalashruti that an uninitiated person should not recite it, then do not recite it.
What kind of vidya is the Bhoot Damar Tantra?
It is an altogether separate kind of tantra — Bhoot Damar. In the manner that there is the Rudrayamal, that there is the Uddish, in that same manner there is the Bhoot Damar. It is chiefly said to have been composed by Ravana.
Which mool mantra of Batuk Bhairav precedes the Bhairav Namavali?
Asked whether the twenty-one-syllable or the twenty-two-syllable mantra, or some other, should be recited before the Bhairav Namavali, he asks in return which Bhairav Namavali is being done — that of the Kaal Sankarshan Tantra, of the Rudrayamal, of the Bhairav Yamal, of the Devi Yamal. According to whichever it is, the mantra also changes; the Kaal Sankarshan one will be different, the Rudrayamal one different, and all the remaining tantras have their own separate ones.
What is the widely circulated shraap vimochan that people carry?
A very famous one, he says, is the shraap vimochan of Bhagavati Tripurasundari, which people who know a little and search out these things carry with them and show — they say, guru ji, look at this, maharaj ji, this is related to Bhagavati Tripurasundari. Bhagavan Shiva has told the prayoga of shraap vimochan in the Rudrayamala Tantra, and so it has become popularly current.
The Rudrayamala hundred-and-eight name stotra of Pitambara
The speaker says the 108-name stotra of Bhagavati Pitambara described in the Rudrayamala is filled with supreme divinity. Whatever a person wants from Pitambara, that she destroy their enemies utterly, that vichar and the like be fully destroyed, or that their attraction increase in an assembly so that people are drawn to them, this shatnam stotra is, in a manner of speaking, capable of accomplishing all of it. So one should do its anushthan; and without Diksha, he says, its path can absolutely be done.
Sankalp of 3600 paths of the Pitambara shatnam stotra
After the preliminary sadhanas, the speaker says, take a sankalp of 3600 paths of the Rudrayamala shatnam stotra of Bhagavati Pitambara, starting from any Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. Take it either for 36 days or, if one does not want to do that much, a sankalp of 11 days. With the sankalp of 100 paths daily, one should recite the stotra every day.
Hour of recitation of the Pitambara shatnam stotra by purpose
Asked when the shatnam stotra of Bhagavati Pitambara is to be recited, the speaker says it is done in the night hours, as described from the Rudrayamala Tantra. But any Prayoga connected with Lakshmi is done only in the morning and evening. Night is for the destruction of enemies, of tantra and vichar-ghat, and of another's Kritya prayoga. For obtaining Lakshmi and freedom from debt, evening or the early hours of the morning are best; night is possible, but morning or Sandhya is far better.
Repeating sankalps of the Pitambara shatnam stotra over years
For one whose faith rests only in Pitambara and who has not obtained Diksha, the speaker says to take the Rudrayamala shatnam stotra and its vidhi-vidhan into one's life: 100 paths daily, in sankalps of 36 days with a rest between, or if not 36 then 21, 11 or 7 days, resting two or three days and starting again, taking a sankalp of 1100 each time. As one, two, three years pass, he says, one will receive such kripa of Bhagavati and such worthy, capable gurus as one would not believe; when worthiness comes within a person, divine siddh gurus come and take them far. If one is not initiated, he says, it does not matter; following these vidhi-vidhans one should go forward.
How many Bhairavs are there according to the Rudrayamala?
The most famous grantha, the Rudrayamala — according to it, he says, although we ordinarily hear of fifty-two Bhairavs or fifty-one Bhairavs, sixty-four Bhairavs walk along with the sixty-four Yoginis. Those whom we worship as the sixty-four Yoginis — Jaya, Vijaya, Ajita, Aparajita, Jayanti — all of those Yoginis have their Bhairavs.
Preconditions before a beginner starts Baglamukhi sadhana: kuldevi seva first, Narayan japa, and checking the household shaktis
The speaker says the anushthan he gave the farmer was the stotra of the 108 names of Bhagavati Bagla described in the Rudrayamala Tantra, done with Sankalpa and full vidhi-vidhan. But because the man was new, he first had him look at the sthan of his Kuldevi and devata and begin their puja-seva, slowly and without hurry, and before Bagla he had him do some japa connected with Narayan, because he says he repeatedly forbids going straight into Baglamukhi sadhana. He also looked at what shaktis were in the house and what the Kula Parampara was, and only then decided the sadhana. He says everything is to be done with patience: one cannot message today, do it at once and expect a result the day after tomorrow; there is no fast track, and only step by step does it come right.
