Showing a newborn to the world before the Chhathihar invites nazar and tantra
The speaker says a birth in the house provokes jealousy simply because the line has grown, more so for a boy than a girl, and today people upload the baby to Facebook, stories and WhatsApp status before even the mother has properly seen it. This he calls the biggest mistake: everyone knows the rule that when a child falls in Sataisa the father should not see its face, but not the rule that until the chhathihar the child is to be kept hidden and not shown to the world. Fifty people looking at the child put Nazar on it; very few are truly glad, most feel a stab of envy behind their congratulations, and among them are your enemies, who then get something done and come to the Chhathihar with the baby's clothes already worked on. If no puja-path for the protection of the house has ever been done, he says, trouble in the house follows.
Prayoga of a siddha Bajrang Baan: mustard seeds or bhasma for a child with nazar
The speaker says that once the bajrang-baan is siddha, it can be used in various ways — for instance when a small child in the house is crying a lot and one suspects Nazar or the like. Take yellow mustard seeds in the hand and first speak the whole invocation: Ram's name must be taken — "O Ram ji, be gracious, Sitaram, Sitaram" — then "O Hanuman ji, I am reciting your Bajrang Baan; awaken it, make these seeds Abhimantran-charged and fully chaitanya; for the protection of (the child's name) and to remove whatever obstacle is on him I am using this — awaken it and accomplish my work." Then recite the Bajrang Baan once, pass the seeds over the child from head down, three or seven times or as one wishes, and take them outside the house and burn them. Bhasma can be charged the same way and applied to oneself for constant protection, or given to family members.
A visitor took offence at being told to handle a new iPhone carefully, said 'keep it, you have far too much', and left — and the family's ruin ran a year or two before anyone saw its source.
The speaker recounts an incident he witnessed, from the days when the iPhone 7 or 8 was new. A well-off man had bought his son an iPhone; a very envious visitor asked to see it, and the boy said not to handle it that way because the protector was expensive and hard to get. The visitor took such offence at so small a thing that he said "keep it, you have far too much" and left — and the family's ruin began, lasting at least a year or two, until everyone understood where it was coming from.
Should one set an upper limit on the number of paths?
Never apply the rule that we will do only 100 paths, only 1000, only 11000, only three months — no. Do as much as possible. If you master only this, there is in it a way out of bhoot, pret, pishaach, nazar, drishti and shatru badha, and of obstacles to wealth, of a job not coming, of the ill effects of Rahu, Ketu, Shani and cruel grahas, and of the durayoga of the marakesh.
What is to be done if the chaatan condition increases greatly?
If the condition of chaatan increases very greatly, the speaker says, then the very first work is to see what the position of the Moon is in your birth chart. Having it looked at by some jyotish ji maharaj, do the graha remedies for the sake of Chandra, or learn what the daan and the rest are and do that. From that the chaatan will first decrease.
At the very least, curd and jaggery are passed over the head and left in a deserted place
Otherwise, if there is nothing else, the speaker says, then at the very least begin taking curd and jaggery down from over the head and carrying them to some deserted place and keeping them there.
What should be done if a cow will not feed her calf because of nazar?
For this, he says, take moonj — the sharp-edged leaf called moonj, the one in the Hanuman Chalisa line kandhe moonj janeu saaje. Take three moonj and, reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, draw them over the body of the cow from above downwards, that is from front to back; the nazar lying upon her body will be removed. In the same way one may draw red chilli, mustard and the like over her body while reciting the Hanuman Chalisa. Milk offered in the name of Pashupatinath Mahadev, taken down from her head, also brings her benefit quickly.
Who should be told about your sadhana?
Only those close to you who are in distress. The point at which people cause you difficulty is exactly the point at which confidence begins to form in you and you ask someone about it — and they will pin you somewhere, saying nothing comes of it. Take guidance only from someone who wishes you well.
A scholar's grandson showed the incense anticlockwise at Dakshineswar: three generations' loss from an alternative taken as the norm.
A young man from a wealthy Brahmin family, whose grandfather had been a great scholar, showed the incense to the Devi anticlockwise at the Dakshineswar Kali temple. The Bengali priest shouted at him. The speaker's point is that the loss ran down three generations from an alternative taken as the norm.
What does a repeated dream of liquor indicate?
A listener describes a sister's dream: liquor is much seen, as if someone is pouring liquor on a dev vigraha and she is wandering; where everyone is drinking; a girl of fifteen or sixteen years brought her away from there; a lamp was lit and extinguished on a roti and its kajal applied to the sister. He says that if this has been seen once, then it is no matter; if it is being seen again and again, then tell him. Then the subject of laag being applied may be in it.
What can be done for a three-year-old who does not speak?
Get the medical treatment done properly first. Second, have the birth chart analysed — what the state of the second house is, and what difficulty is arising with Kantha and Vani. Only if nothing is found medically, use the Saraswati mantras of the eleventh chapter and give the child water consecrated with them.
What should be done when nazar strikes the business and oneself repeatedly?
If the matter is only of nazar, that nazar is striking, then the speaker says it means the sensitivity is more than it needs to be and the aura is in a very delicate condition. The aura is to be hardened. And where will the hardness come from? Your own mantra japa should be of that level, and the anushthan with havan should be of that level, so that the positive energies present in your aura become firm and hard. Then protection is formed.
What is chirayata used for?
Chirayata is chiefly used where a nazar dosha has been cast. There are people who have learned things of that kind and need only come and look — as when some girl's hair is very long and she is very lovely to look at, and they will remark on it, saying how long her hair is, like a cow's tail, touching the ground; they will merely say it, and the other person's health will be ruined. It is at this place that chirayata is chiefly used. Apamarg one is using for the destruction of tantra. So take the wood of apamarg — the one called chirchira, oonga and many other names.
What should be done if the neighbours keep casting nazar on the house?
Asked about neighbours casting nazar, the speaker answers: do the bandhan of the chaukhat. Install a yantra of Panchmukhi Hanuman ji and the like upon the chaukhat — if nazar is falling upon the house again and again.
