Maintaining a house after abhichaar has been removed
The speaker draws a distinction: the long sadhana and its single prayoga removed the root of the abhichaar in one stroke, but that is not the end. After it, whatever mangalik karya there are — Sundarkand paath, Satyanarayan Puja — are to be had done in the house again and again, not once. What the prayoga removed was the root; regular auspicious rites keep the house as it should be.
Relating a dream instruction to one's own situation before carrying it out
The speaker says that knowing all this, the first and last thing is to decide very thoughtfully in such conditions. When going to follow a dream instruction — a mantra to chant, a lamp to offer, Bhog and Prasad to place somewhere — one must first judge one's own present situation, because the dream will not state the reason behind the order. His example: a court case is running and the dream says to light Dhoop and a lamp at a Hanuman temple for five Tuesdays; the sadhak must relate the two, mention the false case and ask for release while lighting the lamp, and if possible sit and do Hanuman Chalisa or Sundarkand paath as capacity allows, properly and not in a hurry. Then, by the deity's grace, the matter is accomplished.
What should be done before the digging of the foundation begins?
The second thing, he says, is that once the land is bought and the neev digging is due, before starting the digging you should have the land cleaned up well by some competent scholar or tantra sadhak, and have an akhand kirtan performed at that place — even if only for one day, only for twenty-four hours — or have a Sundarkand paath done.
What can be done where the Pitrs have been bound?
If the Pitrs are bound because of an Abhichar, then first call a knowledgeable person to your home, look at the operations and have the cutting-away done, and only then proceed. If you want to do it yourself and know no particular procedure, do a Samput recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa or of the Sundarkand, or the eleventh chapter of the Gita.
What is done at a teerth kshetra to liberate a bound pishaach or upadev being who has agreed to it?
The speaker says that if they do agree, then take them to a teerth kshetra — Gaya, or Trimbakeshwar, or whichever teerth kshetra they name — and there, on their behalf, have Gayatri jap, the shraadh sequence, tripindi, Narayan bali and nag bali done as required, and liberate them. Afterwards the house should be made completely pure again by having a path of the Sundarkand or an Akhand Ramayan and the like performed there.
What should be done when negative shaktis are seen directly in the house?
If a negative shakti is being seen directly in the house, the speaker says, it means her energy is becoming quite strong, that the person through whom the projection was made is using a great deal of bali and the like, and that the level of positive shaktis in your home has fallen very low. You should first, if possible, have a samputit paath of the Sundarkand done at your home; and if possible have it done from Tuesday to Saturday, at least five weeks continuously, with havan each day.
A Hanuman chaupai is used as the samput of the Sundarkand, and eleven Bajrang Baans are recited daily.
If you cannot have that much done, the speaker says, then do it yourself, but on every Tuesday or every Saturday have the samputit Sundarkand recited. As for the samput mantra, tell those doing the paath that the negative energy is of such a kind, and have them apply as samput whichever chaupai serves for the invocation of Hanuman ji and the obtaining of his grace. You will get very swift benefit. Along with it, do the paath of the complete Bajrang Baan yourself in the house at least eleven times daily, and make the sound of it.
May Sundarkand be read only on Saturday?
Asked whether doing the paath of Sundarkand only on Saturday will do, the speaker answers: yes, it will absolutely do.
What can be added to a Tuesday Hanuman puja beyond the Chalisa and Sundarkand?
Bhakti ji asks what to add to her Tuesday Hanuman puja in the temple, apart from the Chalisa and the Sundarkand. Do this, the speaker says: add Hanuman ji's Sahasranama, and add a Kavach as well.
What remedy is there for release from imprisonment?
A listener says her father and brother have been in jail for a year and asks what remedy to do for release from imprisonment. Have the samputit path of Hanuman ji done, the speaker says: do or have done this samputit path of the Sundarkand every Tuesday. With which mantra and how it is to be done, he asks Ruby ji to message him on Telegram — even in the group — and he will send the whole vidhi of the samputit path.
The Sundarkand, and the dhyana beginning atulit baldhaam, is what to read on Hanuman
Sundarkand — whoever does its path should do it at the very least once or twice a year. In Sundarkand a great many things about Hanuman are learnt, how much samarthya he has. And when the dhyana of Hanuman is done, the very first thing that comes is "atulit baldhaam" — he whose bal is unweighable, whose strength has no limit at all.
Why do people become frightened when they see Kali or Bhairav being worshipped?
A time came — and it persists in many regions — when seeing someone worship Kali ji makes people afraid: "he is doing tantra-mantra." Seeing Bhairav ji's puja, they are a hundred per cent sure of it. The speaker points to books printed as "tantrik prabhav wala Kali Chalisa", or a Hanuman Chalisa or Sundarkand carrying the same label — reading that, people take fright.
