Why relief from a one-off Saptashati or Saptashloki anushthan fades
The speaker says maya is very powerful: do any anushthan even once — a Durga Saptashati or Saptashloki anushthan, 108 in the morning and 108 in the evening for the nine days of Navratri — and whether or not the work is done, the shakti shows fierce maya and some grace of Jagdamba does come. The person's problem stays exactly as it was, but he feels the energy within, the spandan of the manipurak chakra, sees drishtant and pictures in dreams, and at the first auspicious effects of sadhana promptly makes himself a siddha and starts advising others. A few days later the message comes that the trouble is back — because the energy of a sadhana that is not continued lasts fifteen days, twenty days, three or six months at most; the savings are spent and nothing new is being put in, so the problem grows again.
Manipura at the solar plexus is fire — willpower, digestion and clarity; weak, it leaves a constant hunger for validation.
Manipura, at the solar plexus, governs willpower, personal power, digestion, and mental clarity, corresponding to the fire element — a strong Manipura gives focus and the ability to burn away inner toxins, while a disbalanced one produces insecurity and a need for constant validation.
