17 notes from our sourcesNotes from our sources
What materials were traditionally used for a genuine Mundamala, and under what ethical condition?
Traditional lore describes teeth from children who died naturally, the Kapala mala carved from the frontal (Ajna chakra) bone, and the nasal bone — with the strict condition that the person must have died naturally, never been killed, restricted to authorized practitioners within traditional lineages.
What is the technique for advanced mental Japa, involving the tongue and Ajna Chakra visualization?
The tongue remains completely motionless, fixed against the upper palate (similar to Khechari Mudra), while each syllable of the mantra is visualized clearly at the Third Eye / Ajna Chakra — the deity's form manifests naturally when the mantra awakens, without needing to imagine its face.
What is the practice protocol and expected timeline for establishing a mantra at the Ajna Chakra?
Initially sustain the visualization for only two minutes or 15-20 seconds; establishing the mantra at the Ajna Chakra may take a week, a month, or two months, keeping the spine straight, tongue fixed against the palate, and eyes closed, while ensuring adequate sleep to prevent headaches.
What spiritual sensations indicate the Kundalini centers are awakening through this practice?
Within a fortnight, profound satisfaction and spiritual experiences begin manifesting, directly awakening subtle centers associated with Kundalini — sensations may include tingling in the stomach, chest, or throat, shivers along the spine, and sudden surges of intense bliss; equanimity should be maintained rather than excitement.
Is there a mantra for opening the third eye?
Asked whether there is any mantra for opening the third eye, he answers that there is no mantra for opening the third eye until your energy is in the right condition. Not from the mantra — when the devatas of the mantra bestow grace, then their eyes are obtained by you.
Bhagavati empowers Brahma, and creates a second shakti from between her brows
On Brahma ji's petition, Bhagavati Parameshwari bestowed shakti on him, by which he became capable of the rachana of the srishti and capable of creating women. And the param shakti of Bhagwan Shiva, the Shiva Devi who is stri-purushatmika, created from the middle of her brows — that is, from the ajna chakra — a second shakti of a radiance like her own.
What do violent tremors and a pull at the Ajna chakra during japa mean?
That your Bhava is very strong and the experience is excellent — keep it secret, do not make it public. And if the urge to call out Bhagavati's name comes, call it out sometimes. The speaker adds, partially, that some power in your Kula must have been a great devotee of Vindhyavasini and is showing grace on you.
What balances the tremors that mantra japa produces?
It means the mantra is having its effect and Sattvic powers are rising in the body — but it is unregulated, not balanced. For that you should recite the Kavach, and if possible perform a Havan on the Ashtami day as well.
What should be done if there is severe pain at the Ajna chakra during mala japa?
It is going very well, the speaker tells the questioner; do not run from it. Spandan is beginning at the Ajna chakra, so now begin to control it. How will it be controlled? By trataka sadhana. Surya trataka is the best: rise in the morning, and at the time of sunrise, having freshened up and seated yourself well, do trataka while looking at the sun — then this spandan will begin to be controlled, and the image of your ishta will also begin to be seen. Going further, it is from this that divya drishti is obtained. Do not run from it; learn to control it.
Can chakra experiences be settled over YouTube?
A listener says all his chakras go round in circles, on the forehead and on the head as well. He answers that all these things cannot be fully understood or explained through YouTube. Go and sit before some genuine person and take counsel — someone who has knowledge of all these things will be able to give you right guidance, if your chakras have indeed been awakened.
Which is the best method to awaken the third eye?
The speaker says it is not like that — there is no uttam vidhi and madhyam vidhi. Only inexperienced people can speak of a best method that will do it in one day; anyone who has experience of that level can never say this one is middling, that one is lowest and another is high. It happens through mantra japa, through trataka, through panchang sadhana made a limb, through repeated recitation of the Gita, through the Saptashati path, through havanatmak vidhan — by the increase of tapobal, with at least a little dhyan in it.
Is the trinetra the same as receiving a divine eye?
The speaker says the trinetra is what he has just been describing; the matter of receiving an eye is separate. The bestowal of an eye by devatas, or the attainment of an eye in bhagatvaal, is a different subject altogether, and there is a video on the channel about the kinds of eye one may receive.
How many layers are in the trinetra, and does a devi's shakti arrive when it awakens?
Asked how many layers there are in the trinetra, what happens after the awakening of the trinetra, whether a devi's shakti arrives, and whether some dut has then to be made pratyaksha separately, the speaker calls these very good questions asked in a very good way — and says: know and do this vidhan under the guidance of some proper divine guru. In his view this is not a subject for YouTube. He will discuss Sankat Nashan at length in the future, how and what happens; but information is one subject and practically this subject is separate, and it varies person to person. He has said this many times and does not even feel like speaking it fully, because people have crammed their expertise onto these subjects so much on Facebook and YouTube that even in speaking he feels their followers will take offence.
What of spandan at the ajna chakra and sleep after puja?
Told that a great deal of spandan has begun at the ajna chakra and that much sleep comes in the morning after puja, he answers that at the very time sleep is coming, your body is becoming completely healthy. If sleep comes at the time of puja, then for some days take it as being like yoga nidra: at the very time of puja the body is fully relaxing. Before this, that is at that time, sleep would not have been coming to you. Then stop night-time sadhana for a few days.
Three places for nimbu bali on the body: ajna, anahata and navel
The speaker says bali on the body is given on the ajna chakra; if the problem is so severe that the person cannot even get up, it is given at three places — the ajna chakra at the forehead, the heart between the breasts where the anahata is held to be and where prana-vayu is seated, and near the navel. The cut is easy on the chest and above the forehead, but the belly near the navel needs more care as it is not a hard place. If the lemon has been charged with one's sidh mantra, these things get cut quickly, and the patient begins to feel relief within 5 to 30 minutes.
One sadhak doing archan-tarpan of the Kali yantra had darshan of the saumya form at the Ajna chakra
There is one more sadhak, Vikas ji, he says, who reported that he was doing archan and tarpan of the yantra of Bhagavati Kali — he has been a good sadhak for a fairly long time and does sadhana over long periods — and said that all at once, as soon as he completed the tarpan, he had darshan of the saumya form of Bhagavati at the Ajna chakra for some moments. It was very saumya indeed, and from it he obtained peace.
Agya between the eyebrows is the command center of intuition and inner vision beyond form.
Agya, between the eyebrows, is known as the "third eye," governing intuition, wisdom, and psychic perception — described as the command center that, when awakened, allows access to deep meditation and inner vision beyond form.
