Lokpal
Every question on the site tagged Lokpal, each answered from a timestamped source rather than a summary written from memory.
A guardian or subordinate power attached to the Supreme Goddess, Shiva, or another major deity — for an ordinary householder practitioner, this (not the major deity's own direct presence) is what 'a divine power accompanying you' actually refers to.

What "a divine power with you" means for an ordinary householder sadhak
The speaker says a new Sadhak who has done three to six months of sadhana strongly wants to know whether some divine power is with him, usually because he has heard of another practitioner's experiences with a deity. He asks such a sadhak to understand first that, at the level an ordinary householder lives at today, "divine power" means only a Lokpal, gana or shakti belonging to Bhagwati, Mahadev or one of the great powers — not Sadashiva himself walking with you. If Sadashiva were walking with someone, he says, that person's bhakti would be so high that they would never need to search these questions on YouTube. Every start is small, and it is from this small start that the resolve grows until one day Mahadev too bestows full Kripa.
What does the text describe of the Himalaya itself?
There is a very detailed description of Himalaya parvat: all its divinity, what pervades where, which cannot be seen directly by an ordinary man; what kinds of divine things are present there; where Indra, Kuber, Yama and Varuna live; at what distances the puris of the ten dikpalas are situated; and on which peak the apsaras dwell. Hearing all this, Bhagavati says that Himalaya parvat will indeed be the right place, and that they should go there.
The shodash matrikas, panch lokpal and das dikpal each receive one flower and water three times.
A flower is offered in the name of the shodash matrikas, saying Shodash Matrikabhyo Namah, and water is offered three times. Then in the name of the panch lokpal, saying Panch Lokpalbhyo Namah, a flower is placed and water is offered three times. Then in the name of the das dikpal, saying Das Dikpalbhyo Namah, a flower is offered and then water. In this way, by the brief vidhi, the pujan of all the devatas is done.
What does the episode teach about attaining a high post?
They have heard earlier in the Shiv Mahapuran that one can attain even the post of Brahma, Vishnu or Mahesh. Look again at those not attaining moksha: Brahma is a pad. Even after going to that pad, if you make abhiman, you cannot be saved — whether you are Indra, Varun, Yama, Kuber, one of the ten dikpals, or Brahma himself.
What is the chief reason Phalgun Purnima night is so potent?
Because on this night, as the speaker has explained in videos already published, what is called the ten doors of the ten digpalas remains open — whether of svarga, of patala, or in the eastern side, north, south and all four corners. The ten digpalas do not stop any shaktis.
