Special case: japa disturbed even in the temple by a shakti
The shakti in an afflicted house can be strong enough to enter even the temple and create disturbance so that the sadhak cannot complete his japa. In this case the speaker gave a specially made Yantra to be placed under the seating mat — one that sadhaks loosely call a Panchamundi-related yantra, though its real name is kept secret. He adds that the panchamundi and trimundi asan themselves belong to sadhaks of a very high order; ordinary people, himself included, cannot use them, so special vidhans are done symbolically instead.
Lifelong Shiv Raksha practice: protection even from a panchmundi tantrik, with jeev seva and feeding others
The speaker says that if you make this work a continuous part of your life, then however great a tantrik there may be — even one seated on a Panchamundi asana — Mahadev will lift him up on the Trishul and he will be able to do nothing to you; you only need to be in the right and do these things properly. Along with it, Jeev Seva must be done — serving animals and birds — and the grain of your own earned share should go into others' stomachs, so that their blessing is obtained. Doing all this for a long time, he says, you will surely benefit, and by Mahadev's grace the tantra prayog will be destroyed.
What gathering happens at Tarapith in these days?
It is said that just as in the Ambubachi parva a whole great gathering of tantrics takes place at Kamakhya, where people go and stay for four days, so for at least three days there is a gathering at Tarapith, in the Birbhum district of Bengal — where the famed Vamachari tantric Vamakhepa had his tapasthali, where the Panchmundi asana is present, and where it is said that Maharshi Vashishtha, the kula guru of Bhagavan Shri Ram, attained the siddhi of Bhagavati Tara by the Vam marga, that is the tantra marga.
