Marudgana
Every question on the site tagged Marudgana, each answered from a timestamped source rather than a summary written from memory.
One of the 49 classifications of wind current (an aspect of the air element, Vayu Tattva) — one specific type is associated with spirits, and when it is active, a spirit-affected visitor entering a home can be partially, intermittently drawn toward a thorny plant like an unflowering rose or a cactus.

Do spirits live in cactus plants?
The speaker says it is 100% true: where pretas are present, cactus grows on its own and grows large. But a cactus flowering at home does not necessarily mean a Preta is sitting in your house. Guests, friends, relatives and neighbours keep coming, and among them some day someone will be affected. Of the 49 kinds of Marudgana, the winds of the vayu Tattva, one kind is related to pretas; if such a wind is blowing when a preta-afflicted or preta-maddened person enters your house and finds this plant, the entity is drawn to it in part — not living there 24 hours, but coming at certain times, because the plant attracts it.
An unflowering thorny plant at home: a shadow on it and why it attracts
The speaker says not every thorny plant is a problem — the rose is offered to Bhagavati. But if a rose planted at home never flowers despite many efforts, and neither dries nor blooms, it has come under some grip; immerse it. That shadow falls, he says, when the preta-related Marudgana wind is blowing and the preta influence is strong. It happens in the home because what stands in a house is nourished by the energy of your puja, your thoughts and your Aura, sattvic or tamasic, and so is alive in a different way — like gold in a jeweller's showroom against gold lying in garbage. A cactus flourishing in a well-kept home draws such entities more strongly than one growing in rubbish; when an affected person comes, the two attract each other and a dwelling is fixed there — an akarshan done unknowingly. Every thorny plant attracts such things somewhere, so remove a rose that does not flower.
Can Rudragan sadhana be done at an eclipse not visible in India?
A listener notes there is a Surya grahan on the 21st which will not be seen in India, and asks about Rudragan sadhana. It can absolutely be done, the speaker answers.
Do the Rudraganas have a limit of kshetra, and how was Ravana destroyed despite the Nikumbhila path?
The Rudraganas have no maryada, no maryada of kshetra, the speaker says — yes, if you have sent them with a sankalp for some inauspicious work, then there they will be bound by maryada. Asked how important anga pujan is, and how Ravana was destroyed although he was doing the Saptashati path in the Nikumbhila order, he says: in whatever order one recites, and however great a knower of tantra one may be, if he does a wrong act then his destruction will certainly occur. The devtas themselves will destroy him.
How is abhichaar fought with Rudragana sadhana?
Asked how to fight abhichaar by Rudragana sadhana, he answers: when, taking a sankalp, you have done the Rudragana sadhana more than three times, then if you take a sankalp and do the daily paath near Shiva ji, you obtain mukti from abhichaar. In the sankalp, he says, it will have to be taken as: for the purpose of freedom from abhichaar.
Which short sadhana does he say everyone should keep done?
And there are some brief sadhanas, he says — he repeats again and again that every single person should keep the Rudragan sadhana done. The grace of Bhagavan Shiva and of Narayan, both, is obtained in such a way that you will not know when and where in life the need for it may fall.
When should the Rudragan sadhana be done?
The Rudragan sadhana should be done when an eclipse occurs and yet there is no eclipse — that is, when a grahan is falling upon the earth but its effect is not in your region. Only then should the Rudragan sadhana be done. Someone had just messaged that an eclipse is falling in the month of April, and asked whether it can be done in that eclipse; he says he will look and update quickly.
Can a Rudragana be perfected as a friend?
Do not make the mistake of making them pratyaksha, Keshav ji, the speaker says. The Rudraganas are in themselves an extremely swift and fierce gana. From even one sadhana they help a great deal indirectly, whether or not you understand it. If you try to make them pratyaksha, then many bandhans attach, many things happen, you will have to live by rules — and they will not become pratyaksha quickly either, but you will certainly be put in difficulty.
Can the Rudragana mantra be done with the regular puja lamp?
Look, those who have done the sadhana of the Rudraganas — since the sadhana of the Rudraganas is a one-day sadhana, the speaker says he repeatedly tells them to go on repeating it. Whenever such a time falls — that is, when there is a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse and yet there is not one — then first of all repeat their sadhana. And daily, even if only five times, do the japa of that mantra. It may be done with the regular lamp; there is no need to light a separate jyot.
When exactly is the Rudragana sadhana to be done?
Vishal ji, the sadhana of Bhagavan Rudragana has been told; it is a one-day sadhana, the speaker says — when there is a lunar eclipse and yet there is not one, that is, when a lunar eclipse has occurred somewhere in the world but in the place where you are living no sutak kaal has attached. And if sutak or patak falls during Navratri, then sadhana should not be done.
The katha of the forty-nine Marudganas at Shiva and Sati's vivah is the standing example
He asks a question of listeners: you read this thing in ten places — in what manner the katha of the forty-nine Marudganas stands, at the time of Shiva's vivah, of the vivah of Shiva and Sati. At that place the commentators write the thing down in a very wrong way, and then write that on account of fear of length the thing is not being told fully. That, he says, brings anger — put the thing in, because an ordinary person reading it will only take it as absurd, will only understand it wrongly.
