Narayana Bali
Every question on the site tagged Narayana Bali, each answered from a timestamped source rather than a summary written from memory.
The Vedic rite granting progress to a soul that died an unnatural death — ineffective on its own if the soul is bound by black magic or a Tantric rite, in which case that binding must be addressed first.
27 notes from our sourcesNotes from our sources
If a soul is already in the ghost realm, can another negative energy attach to it, and how is it liberated?
Yes — a soul in Preta Yoni can absolutely have other negative energies attach to it. If Narayana Bali alone isn't enough (because the soul is bound by black magic or a Tantric rite), the liberation sequence is Chapter 11 of the Bhagavad Gita with a Sankalpa, then Bhairav worship, then Narayana Bali, then Tripindi.
What is Narayana Bali performed for, and what supplements it when negative entities block the ancestral rites?
It is performed for individuals who died untimely or unnatural deaths, to assist their transition and relieve severe ancestral affliction; if negative entities block the rites, invoke Lord Bhairava first, followed by full recitations of scriptures like Srimad Bhagavatam or Garuda Purana dedicated to the deceased.
What remedies address repeated untimely deaths or severe ancestral blockage (Preta Dosha) in a house?
Perform Narayana Bali and Tripindi Shradh at recognized sacred sites, conduct systematic Rudrabhisheka of Shiva with buttermilk on Panchami Tithis, and seek refuge in Mahavidya Sadhana and Lord Bhairava under proper guidance.
What remedies pacify ancestral or lineage deity wrath (Kuladevata and Pitru Dosha)?
Recite one chapter of the complete Devi Bhagavata Mahapurana daily before a ghee lamp with a Sankalpa seeking forgiveness for ancestral and personal errors — if financially able, also arrange Narayana Bali (for unnatural deaths), Tripindi Shraddha, and a Shrimad Bhagavata Parayana.
How does Pitru Tarpan under a Peepal tree dedicated to Dattatreya help, and why should ancestral rites be performed personally?
Pitru Tarpan performed under a Dattatreya-dedicated Peepal tree calms agitated ancestral spirits causing domestic unrest; sacred rites (Gita recitation, Tarpan, Shradh, Pinda Daan, Narayan Bali) are most effective when performed personally with sincere devotion rather than entirely delegated to others.
What is the Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) Ganapati recommended for, and how is it consecrated?
Indicated for neutralizing Guru Dosha, curses from teachers or elders, and Brahma Rakshasa afflictions — consecrated on a brass or gold base by an erudite Brahmin, worshipped alongside a 10-Mukhi Narayani Rudraksha with the Ganapati and Vishnu Sahasranama, and can facilitate peaceful resolution for entities bound by vows via Narayana Bali.
Who the Anagha Bel-tree tarpan is for: a deceased woman of the household who troubles the family
The speaker says that if a woman of the household has died, especially an untimely (Akala Mrityu) death, and is troubling the family badly, whatever form she has taken, called Pitrani (as in Rajasthan) or dakini, and a dosha connected with her is present, Bhagwati's 101 names are used for Tarpana on a Bilva tree. He gives the case of a man whose mother was murdered and now troubles them, with no means yet for Narayana Bali: this tarpan is the option there, and within three to four days, by a week, that shakti's fierceness eases and she becomes gentle. It can also be used when she is troubling small children.
Bel-tree tarpan vidhan with the 101 names of Anagha Lakshmi
The speaker says the Tarpana is done with Ganga water on the trunk of a Bilva tree, standing at it or sitting beneath it; the tree must be a worshipped one, best of all inside a temple, and never in a deserted (nirjan) place. A brass lota is filled with water and a little honey and black sesame are added. Three betel leaves (stem broken off, tip intact) are held together; a Sankalpa is spoken naming the deceased woman of the house, a ghee lamp is lit on flowers, not on bare ground, and Bhagwati is asked to satisfy and calm her and to give the family the strength to arrange Narayana Bali for her mukti. The leaves are put into the vessel and water is poured on the tree with each of the 101 names, saying 'tarpayami namah'. The leaf and the leftover water are brought home and sprinkled through the house, especially at the main door.
Can Bhairav give gati to pitr who will not move on?
He says these forms also have a very great contribution in stopping such entries and in bringing about their gati and mukti. Many times the discussion arises that Narayan Bali has been done, Tripindi has been done, and still the pitr are not taking gati; these kaad pitr are causing great upheaval. Such beings are a yoni too — a vayavya yoni, a vayu-pradhan body — and their attachment may be to food or to a body.
Those who mock pitru karma while alive will find their own children giving them no pind
If you do not wake up now, he says, people like him who speak openly on such subjects have to hear abuse. Your children will not give you pind. While you are alive you cause uproar and say nothing happens after death; but open your eyes and see how pret and pishaach cause upheaval in a house. Only when the water goes over the head do you start acting — let us do Bhairav ji's puja, let us do something for the pitrs. And even then you show the pitrs so much favour that the whole anushthan goes in vain, saying ten times over that we left work and came, that Narayan Bali will have to be done all our lives, that Tripindi is a sham for looting.
Will the pitrs accept a pind offered in anger?
Do you think, he asks, that after speaking such foul words your pitrs will take the pind, that they will accept it? There, of all places, the bhava should be greatest. The body they gave, the wealth they gave, the vaibhav they gave — by their kripa your body runs, by their kripa your breath moves; the pitr are your first devatas, and you sit and abuse them and say your welfare is happening. If there is anger within you while making the pind and you make it in anger — would you eat food that someone made and gave you in anger?
Must the pitru karma be repeated, and how far does one's duty extend?
Once Narayan Bali has been done and Tripindi has been done, if anyone in life says to have it done again there is an uproar — our father had it done ten years ago, our father had Navchandi done ten years ago. You ate food ten years ago too, he retorts; are you still running on that? Understand everything and act: whose share is whose, give it. Your responsibility as a human being is over the whole of nature — over trees and plants, over creatures, over devatas and rishi-munis, over your family, your parents, your husband or wife, your children, your gurujans, even your friends.
What is the permanent solution for a troubling pitr?
Whether the pitr troubles a daughter or a son, the solution is one — that they should be satisfied and contented. Temporary remedies, giving water, doing jeev seva, will stay temporary. If you want it permanently, then either, if you know which pitr it is and know their name, let Narayan Bali be done for them and let their gati happen; or else the Tripindi fourfold, four times, four samvatsaras, and a daily Gita path in the house. Only then will it happen, if you want a permanent solution.
When should Narayan bali be done, and what follows it?
Only when this work is done — the eleven hundred paths complete, and panchbali and the service of creatures and trees done for at least three, four or six months — should you then have Narayan bali done first at Kashi Pishach Mochan for your father. Immediately after, from the very next day, have one mool path of Srimad Bhagavat ji done in Sanskrit by a single brahmin, with a sankalpa made for the father.
What is done at a teerth kshetra to liberate a bound pishaach or upadev being who has agreed to it?
The speaker says that if they do agree, then take them to a teerth kshetra — Gaya, or Trimbakeshwar, or whichever teerth kshetra they name — and there, on their behalf, have Gayatri jap, the shraadh sequence, tripindi, Narayan bali and nag bali done as required, and liberate them. Afterwards the house should be made completely pure again by having a path of the Sundarkand or an Akhand Ramayan and the like performed there.
Should pitrs be called onto the head?
Asked whether a pitr should be called onto the head, and told that dev putra and devi putri are displeased with the family, he says: never make this mistake. Calling them onto the body will put them into bondage. Their gati will never take place hereafter. Ordinarily, he says, it is held that after three generations — if their gati occurs at that time — it is best; people have Nagbali and the rest performed at Trimbakeshwar and Badrinath, and if one has that much capacity their gati takes place and their second birth happens.
How long do pitrs remain if their sadgati has not taken place?
If one is not capable, or if for some other cause such as abhichaar dosha their sadgati is not taking place, then in such a condition they have to remain a minimum of three generations. Reckon three generations from their birth and death; their presence will remain until then, and after that their sadgati takes place, if Narayan Nagbali is performed in the third generation. For pitrs, seven generations has been held. Worship, he adds, is a separate matter: the Mahakali vidhan he has given, done at a Kali temple where there is a peepal tree, is done outside and works indirectly through Bhagavati.
Why is the varshiki done one year after a death?
The speaker says that when someone in the family dies an Akala Mrityu, no Narayana Bali, no Tripindi Shraddha and no Varshiki is done, because nobody waits a year. Yet for the Jivatma the fifteen days of Krishna Paksha are day for the pitrs and Shukla Paksha is their night, so one of our months is a single day for them; the twelve-day journey to Yamlok takes twelve of our months, and that is why the varshiki is done after one year. Now people do the varshiki on the thirteenth day itself or forget it, nobody does the monthly rites, nobody goes to a tirtha for narayana bali after an akal mrityu, has a Srimad Bhagavat done, goes to Gaya or gives daan; the dead are gone, and who watches whether they come for the water?
What should be done for an angry pitr who takes sawari?
A listener says one of their pitrs is very angry — the ancestors had beaten him and driven him away — and that when his sawari comes upon someone in the village, they weep a great deal, and now no devata of the house comes any more. You should make arrangements for his sake, the speaker says: first of all you should try to appease him, and if his name and so on is known, you should have a Narayana bali done for him. Along with the Narayana bali, first for at least three months there should be a daily panchbali and a path of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita made by sankalp in his name. After that they should be taken to the Pishach Mochan tirtha, the Vimal tirtha in Kashi — and it is best if the person on whom the sawari comes goes along with them. Going with them, have a Narayana bali done there, and then have one root path of the Shrimad Bhagavat done. With this much done, their shanti and tripti will certainly happen and their gati should occur; and if it still does not, then the further process should follow after a full year.
What about a death the day after a Narayan Bali?
The speaker calls it a very difficult matter and declines to answer it unseen. Consider it, he says: the Narayan Bali was done and the next day he was gone — not even a fortnight passed. There must certainly have been some cause; and where so many untimely deaths have occurred, a strong Abhichar is also a possibility.
Does the chaukhat prayog remove pitr dosha permanently?
No — the speaker stresses that this is temporary, not a permanent remedy. Even if the pitr's affliction is pressing on you at full force, they will at once become calm, their wrath will subside and they will stop troubling you in dreams or in daily life. But the complete solution, he says, is that once they are fully appeased, one should get Narayana Bali, Tripindi and the like, and a Bhagwat, done for their gati so they are fully sent onward — they are not to be kept held back. When Narayana Bali is done, he says, will be covered separately.
Narayana bali, Tripindi and pindikaran are performed for one who died an untimely death
In tantra, he says, it is those who die who become bhoot and pret. For this person who has attained death, on account of the untimely death you had Narayana Bali done, had Tripindi Shraddha done, had japa and pindikaran and the rest done — so that he should go into the pitr kula according to his prarabdha; and wherever you went, to whatever tirtha dham, when you have that process performed there, he comes and stands in the pitr kula, though he will not go into the deva kula.
What punya comes from building a temple, and what is done for an untimely death?
Asked what punya comes from having a temple built, the speaker says limitless punya is obtained; it is said that people who have temples built deliver many generations. Asked by a listener whose elder brother died an untimely death two years ago and who is now being greatly troubled, he says it depends upon what his age was — if his death occurred through abhichaar and the like, in an untimely death, then he will trouble much more. If the untimely death occurred by accident, then by having Narayan Nagbali and the like done, and by having the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita recited for him with vidhi vidhan, gati can be given.
What does the akash deep do for the pitrs?
The speaker says that by it the pitrs are satisfied and the path is opened for them. It is especially for those whose pitr dosha is very strong, who are doing a great deal and yet no sadgati is coming about — particularly where someone has died an untimely death, or been murdered, or died by the stroke of a weapon, and is causing trouble.
Deaths in a family at fixed intervals: Narayan Bali, Tripindi and Bhagwat, and what they really cost
The speaker says that when a family loses a member at a fixed interval — every fifth or tenth year — it is usually put down to Pitru Dosha, and the remedy for such repeated Akala Mrityu is to get Narayana Bali done for all the untimely deaths so far together, then Tripindi Shraddha, then a Bhagwat. Society has made such a bogey of these that people are told it costs lakhs — a lakh each — but that is only for a big event with a pandal and a seven-day katha; done simply, the whole 11–12 day sequence can come to about 50–60 thousand. Even so, he says, families that borrow to pay hospital bills have been filled with such hostility towards this puja-path that they call it useless, and it is niyati itself that keeps such people wandering and bound so they never move forward on it.
Resolution of a family abhichar case and the speaker's test of a real result
The speaker says that as the family kept at it all together, the devatas' Kripa came, the disturbed intellect calmed and the Uchchatan was gradually cut. After a year the way opened for Tripindi Shraddha, Narayana Bali and a Bhagwat, and the whole matter cleared — about two years in all. His lesson: keep faith, do not let go, keep hold and walk on; self-confidence will form, deva-kripa will begin, and that same power will then handle your whole matter. But the final blow on the enemies is the main thing: he only shares an experience once the enemy has been struck, because the one raising the havoc must be punished. Here Bhagavati Pitambara and the kul's own pitrs turned every trouble onto the perpetrators — who were members of the same family — and a death and a partition followed in their house.
What should be done for an akal mrityu of twenty-five years ago whose kriya was never done?
Asked what to do for the mukti of someone in the house who died an akal mrityu twenty or twenty-five years ago and for whom no kriya-karm was done, and how to be saved from the dosha of it, the speaker says: for that, have the Narayan bali, Tripindi and Nagbali performed, and have a saptah yagya of the Shrimad Bhagavat performed, have the mool paath performed. And yourself too, if you can, do the paath of the Shrimad Bhagavat and the rest, or that of the ishta whom you worship. And do the paath of the third adhyaya of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita again and again — a hundred percent their gati will take place, if it was an akal mrityu. But continue it for some time, and with the whole heart surrendered.
