Notes from our sources

When to establish Batuk Bhairav at home
The speaker says the day of Bhagwan Kaal Bhairava's origin is held to be the Krishna Paksha Ashtami of the month of Margashirsha, which is also believed to be when Shiva appeared as the Agni Linga. Bhagwan Batuk Bhairava's origin, his jayanti, is Ganga Dussehra — Jyeshtha month, Shukla Paksha, Dashami tithi — and on that very day his special puja should be done. Otherwise, he says, you can establish Batuk Bhairav ji at home on the Ashtami tithi of either Krishna Paksha or Shukla Paksha; and if the full festival of Ganga Dashahra is coming up around the time you hear this, in any year, do his special pujan vidhi at home on that day without fail.
When does Batuk Bhairav Jayanti fall, and how can households worship him?
It coincides with Ganga Dashahara on a Sunday; worship can be done with a photograph or idol, or — if none is available — a brass, iron, or silver Trishula placed on the altar.
What if one cannot do the full 40000 paths of the Batuk Bhairav Shatanama?
If you cannot do 40000, then do 21 paths a day, or 100 paths — as much as your capacity allows. You may begin the Shatanama from the day of Batuk Bhairav Jayanti itself. Its mahima is endless, and the beginning of Bhairav worship is from here: the very first prayoga has to be done with this.
On which day should the anushthan begin, and for how many days?
When you are going to do the anushthan, you may begin especially from any Krishna Paksha Ashtami; from Batuk Bhairav Jayanti; from Chaturdashi or Amavasya. Or if you have a great emergency, you may begin his sadhana from a Sunday or Tuesday, or from a Saturday. At the very least an 11-day sadhana should be done, or if possible one mandal, that is a sadhana of 41 days.
Should deep daan be done on Batuk Bhairav Jayanti?
Deep daan should absolutely not be left out. On the day of Batuk Bhairav Jayanti the deep daan of Bhairav ji must certainly be done. The vidhi remains the same one — the sarva sankat haran deep daan vidhi of the day of Kaal Bhairav Ashtami. Even if there are a thousand problems in your house, do the deep daan at home itself; the deep daan video is available on the channel.
Who does the deep daan, and at what time of day?
According to that vidhi, at home together with the whole family, again do deep daan on this day of Batuk Bhairav Jayanti — everyone, in the evening or in the morning, whenever it suits you. It is not that it has to be done only in the evening; if you have time in the morning, do it then.
Ganga Dashahara and the Batuk Bhairav Jayanti fall on the same day, and everyone should do the sadhana then
On the day Ganga Dashahara falls, on the 30th of May, on that same day falls the Jayanti of Batuk Bhairav ji. Ganga Dashahara and the Batuk Bhairav Jayanti fall on the same day; this time it falls on the 30th of May. On that day everyone should do the sadhana, puja and deepdaan of Bhairav ji; he says they will also put up a separate video. Remember it on the 30th of May.
What difference does it make if Shani is combust or retrograde?
For both these subjects — Shani Deva being combust, or being retrograde — in the sadhana-related effect discussed just now over the twelve bhavas, he says: if he is combust, then know according to the balabal that he will make still more delay in the effect. And if he is retrograde, then he will give the effect still more rapidly.
Ganga worship on the Dashami tithi, and Batuk Bhairav Jayanti at Ganga Dashahara
On the Dashami tithi the worship of Bhagavati Ganga should be performed. The Ganga Dashahara period is the day on which Batuk Bhairav Jayanti falls, and his particular worship is performed then — there is already a video on the channel about it.
Three Jyeshtha mahaparvas: Amavasya, Aranya Shashthi, Ganga Dashahara
The speaker announces three mahaparvas: on Jyeshtha Amavasya (probably the 25th) fall the Jayanti of Gupta Durga and Shani Jayanti; on the 1st, Aranya Shashthi, Vindhyavasini Jayanti and Van Durga Jayanti; and on the 5th, a Thursday Dashami with Hasta Nakshatra — Ganga Avataran day, Ganga Jayanti, Ganga Dashahara and batuk-bhairav-jayanti. When Ganga Dashahara's Dashami falls on a Thursday it becomes a sarvartha-siddha, sarva-siddha Muhurta for the whole day, and joined with Hasta, the nakshatra in which Ganga descended, it becomes ati-divya. Listeners should prepare themselves for these dates — 25, 1 and 5.
How should the daily and special-day puja of Batuk Bhairav be done?
Ankur ji asks how to do the daily ordinary puja of Batuk Bhairava, and the special puja on Ashtami, on his birth jayanti, or on any other special day of his. The daily pujan should be done just as it is for ordinary gods and goddesses, the speaker says. And their whole vidhan of pujan is available on the channel, in which everything has been told — what bhog is to be offered to him, how and what is to be done; you may do it by that vidhan.
Batuk Bhairav Jayanti falls on the same day as Ganga Dashehra, and a house without Batuk Bhairav is not fully protected
On that very day, he says, is also the jayanti of Batuk Bhairav Baba. For nearly two years he has been urging listeners to give Bhairav ji a place in the house and to do the puja-path of Batuk Bhairav ji, because without Batuk Bhairav a house is not fully protected.
How does someone with no Bhairav at home install a kula Bhairav from the Ganga?
Those in whose house Batuk Bhairav ji is not established should, if they are going to Ganga ji that day, remember him from there — standing in Ganga ji, remember Batuk Bhairav ji and the Bhairav of your kula. Take along a trishul, or you may keep a photo of Batuk Bhairav ji, or a shri vigraha; in his opinion a shri vigraha is proper if it can be had, and if not then you should take a trishul.
What should be added to a pujan when a jayanti falls on that day?
When we are doing some special pujan, or the nitya pujan, on a jayanti, parva and the like, only this much should be done specially: that of whoever's jayanti has fallen — as now you are doing Bhagavati's, but the jayanti of Batuk Bhairav and of Bhagavati Ganga has fallen — eleven ahutis each in their names should be given along with it.
