Milan
Every question on the site tagged Milan, each answered from a timestamped source rather than a summary written from memory.
A regional Maran technique from the Bhagatwal tradition of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh — also called Mutkarni or Muth elsewhere — in which projected energy calls the target by name and then strikes them in the form defined during the ritual's resolve, deliberately staged so the death is never traced back to Tantra.

Milan, Mutkarni, Muth and Handi: names of one Maran process in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar
The speaker says that in the Bhagatvaal field of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar one Maran process runs under different local names: in some places it is called running Mutkarni or running Muth, in some places Maran done through a Handi. One variant of it, found especially in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, is called killing by sending Milan. He describes it as a tantric process in which a Bhagatwal tantrik assembles a shakti and aims and projects its energy at his target, so that whatever form he gives that shakti, it goes in that very form and pierces the target.
Milan is staged so that the death is never traced to Tantra
Asked why the word Milan is used, the speaker says that whatever form is described at the time of Sankalpa — and the whole process, he adds, stays fully tamasic in nature — the practitioner first gives Bali, Bhog and the like, and before projecting that energy onto the target performs a special rite in which some object is made the medium. The karma is done in such a way that Tantra is never taken as the cause of the target's death: whenever the cause is looked for afterwards, it should never seem that a tantric process was the real cause. In a way, he says, it is a deception (chhalava).
First stage of Milan: being called by name in a familiar voice
The speaker says two things are common to every Milan. The first: the target (the sadhya) is called by his own name — when the shakti is projected it goes and invokes him by name. It can happen at any time, morning, afternoon or night, but especially at night, and the voice is always that of someone the target knows: his child, a friend, his son, brother or father. It is not only the target who hears it; often everyone sitting with him hears the name too, but the one being called is that person alone. If he goes out at once on being called, he can be struck (ghat) — and when he comes out, he sees no one.
What decides whether a person survives after answering a Milan call
The speaker says that what happens to a person who steps out on a Milan call is a separate matter from the process itself and depends on his preparation: the state of his protective deities, whether his house is under Bandhan, whether there is a Kavach on his body, and whether he is a sadhana-doing person or an ordinary one. He says all of that — one's Punya, Tapobal, puja-path and household deities — is put to the test there. If one's punya is active and the deities are able to protect, one may survive even after going out. Otherwise, if the karma has been done fully and one has come out within its reach, there is very often an 80 to 85 percent chance that survival becomes difficult — whatever cause the death is then given.
Second stage of Milan: the strike in the form fixed at sankalpa
The speaker says the first stage of Milan is complete once the target has been called out; the second stage is Ghat, the strike. When the person comes outside, the form in which the shakti was sent under Sankalpa appears before him. He points out that very aged saints on Indian soil, telling the events of their lives, repeatedly say that abhicharik karmas were done on them with tantric mantric serpents — and what they call mantric serpents in regional language is what people in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar call Milan.
Serpent Milan: a death that looks like snakebite with no bite to be found
The speaker says that if serpent-type energy has been used in a Milan, a serpent will appear before the person; whether it bites or not does not matter. Once abhichar has been done on him and he has been called by the mantra method and has come out of his house, beyond his own boundary, that energy acts on him, and even without a snakebite the cause of his death will look exactly like a snakebite — every chemical change a bite produces in the body will be present. But when the body is examined, he says, medical science is deceived, because where the snake bit can never be found. Call it a psychological phenomenon or whatever you like, he adds; from Tantra's point of view this is how the act works.
When Milan is most often sent: Navratri, Diwali, Amavasya and Purnima
The speaker says that if you ask your elders, or anyone who has suffered it, you will hear that when Milan is sent repeatedly on a household in this region, it comes especially around Navratri, around Diwali, and at Amavasya and Poornima: some familiar voice invokes a member from outside the house by name — "arre, suno" — calling him by his own name. That, he says, is the first stage.
How Milan is made siddha: the cremation handi and urad cooked in a chosen nakshatra
Asked whether such things really happen, the speaker says yes, this is a process in which it does, and goes on to describe in brief how it is made siddha. In Maran, cremation-ground things are used, and this prayoga is close to the Handi rites people have heard of ("handi udana", "handi chalana"). The full process is very complex and cannot all be told, he says; but there is one particular Nakshatra which people watch for, and in that nakshatra, when a corpse is going to the cremation ground, the caste is checked — if it is of a Shudra-related caste, especially the Teli caste, the aspirant follows it. In Sanatana Dharma fire goes from the house in a handi at a death; the aspirant gets hold of that handi by any means and, while the nakshatra still lasts, cooks urad in that same burning fire (how he cooks it is his own method) and keeps the cooked urad. That, the speaker says, is the first stage.
Why a Milan works only for a fixed time, and the rule after three failures
The speaker says that the whole Milan process later runs entirely on the effect of the urad grains cooked in the cremation Handi, and that is why it works only up to a fixed time. If the prayoga has been done on you three times and fails all three times, the practitioner cannot do the fourth himself: the fourth attempt has to be had done by someone else, or he has to stop and do it over again from the start. There are many more things in this, he adds, without listing them.
Precaution against Milan: never answer a night call without asking who it is
The speaker says that whenever you feel abhicharik prayogas are being done on you, keep this in mind: if anyone calls you at night, never go straight out on the first call. Ask "who is it?" — if it is an ordinary person, he will answer from there. Never open the door at night or in the afternoon without asking, and do not get up half-asleep and walk straight out.
Even a Milan that fails leaves death-like suffering
The speaker says it very often happens that even when a Milan prayoga does not fully succeed — because you do puja-path — it will still ruin your body, and your health will become very bad. At the least, he says, you will not die, but a death-like condition will certainly come; you will certainly get suffering equal to death. For that reason all these points should be kept in mind.
Milan siddhi and the mantrik sarp: a shakti that calls the target by name
The speaker describes a rural Bhagatvaal process called Milan siddhi in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. When the shakti is projected, it goes to the target and calls out his name; if the target answers or comes out, at any hour of day or night, he dies merely on being seen. He says this is roughly what is called the mantrik sarp, and that the Shankaracharya of Puri, who is from Mithilanchal, says in some of his videos that such mantrik sarp prayogas were done on him.
Which Argala Stotram mantras serve for a spouse and for health?
For the attainment of a wife it is given there — "patnim manoramam dehi". Those who desire a good life partner can jap these mantras independently. And there is the mantra "dehi saubhagyam arogyam, dehi me paramam sukham" — for those with a great deal of disease in the body, or whose fortune is not supporting them, japa of this mantra too can be done independently.
Maran karma is carried out through muthkarni, the running of the handi and similar means, as an astra mantra is used
When some person, some tantric, performs maran karma upon somebody in particular, then — just as some astra mantra and the like is used — in the same way, in ordinary bhagat practice there is muthkarni, there is the running of the handi, there is the sending of milan in prayogas of this kind. All this is done in the attempt at somebody's death.
Does nadi dosha cause difficulty in having children?
The speaker says that if there is nadi dosha in the ashtakoot milan — and it will be of both, so it belongs to both — then there is difficulty in the birth of children. He says it cannot be stated by taking that alone; nevertheless, if you were to say it in one word, the main difficulty lies exactly there. As for what should be done, that can be told only after seeing the whole kundali.
What sankalpa wording is used for the Vaidyanath hriday peeth?
Because the heart was there, it is the hriday pradesh; and when the sankalpa is taken, he says, "hriday peeth peethadhishwari Bhagavati Jaya Durga" is uttered in the sankalpa, and "atmalinga swaroopay maha jyotirlingaay kshetre Baba Vaidyanath" is uttered as well. From that boon comes the custom that gathbandhan is performed on that day at every Jyotirlinga kshetra.
The night carries a doubled importance because Parameshwar had his milan with Prakriti upon an already established Mahashivratri.
Because Mahashivratri already existed and was already in currency, its importance became doubled. On that day, he says, the param satta was seated there in the form of the heart, and that Parameshwar had his milan with Prakriti — Prakriti and the Param Purusha met on that day, in Mahashivratri, and their gathbandhan and full pujan took place.
What does Shani in the seventh bhava give?
If Shani Deva is in the seventh and you make very good use of mantra sadhana, then — and this relates to the panchamesh and saptamesh too — there is a very good subject here: if his auspicious effect is obtained and the mantra begins to be nourished, then whatever sadhaks or sadhikas of the opposite sex come into your life will always work for your progress. They will not let you decline. Whoever comes, their maryada and their charitra will be very strongly nourished. That, he says, is his shubh prabhav.
How are the kula shaktis of two brothers separated?
If she says she will remain on both sides but you may separate, then, the speaker says, it is done as the reverse of a marriage: at a wedding the kriyas join two families, with the milan of pitrs and of the devi-devatas and kuldevi-devatas. Here two pinds are made, as the pret pind and the pitr pind are joined, and in the field of tantra the link is cut and separated.
By whose grace does a person get the happiness of a spouse?
If the happiness of a saubhagyavati wife is ever obtained in life, he says, it is by the grace of Bhagavati Lalita. If you have a dharmapatni or a beloved who gives you love and the happiness of her grace, it is by Bhagavati Lalita's grace — learn to respect it. And if the happiness of a husband is being obtained, one endowed with paurush, strong, walking the path of dharma, with the capacity to take up the responsibility of maintaining a household — the kind called mard in common speech — then he is so through the grace of Bhagavan Shri Hari Narayan; it is by his grace, he has given the strength of arm, and only for that reason is it so.
