Bhairavas held the outer gates and Vinayakas the inner; Mahakala appeared and Shiva merged into him, and dust from the inner sanctum on Indra's forehead dissolved the dosha.
At the outer gates Bhairavas and Bhairavis stood guard, while multiple Vinayakas held the inner gates through Sarupya Mukti; in Mahakali's presence, Lord Mahakala appeared and Shiva merged into his effulgent body, and Mahakali instructed that sacred dust from the inner sanctum be applied to Indra's forehead, completely dissolving his Brahmahatya Dosha.
What does the phalashruti of the Durga Ashtottara Shatanama promise?
That for whoever does its paath there is nothing at all in the three lokas that is not attainable — wealth and grain, sons and progeny, all four purusharthas, and at the end Bhagavati grants mukti, shashvat mukti, so that on going to the Devi loka one does not have to return. This, he notes, is the fruit of the paath of only 108 names of Bhagavati, and the speaker of those names is Ishvara himself.
What does camphor and agaru water give?

What is said about apamarg and Chaturdashi?

Are Baba Mohan Ram Bawri and Marghat Kali kshudra shaktis or lok devtas?
Baba Mohan Ram Bawri is worshipped precisely in the form of a lok devta, the speaker says. If you do a great deal of pujan-path and sadhana, the energy produced by the sadhana strengthens the jivatma in your jiva body, and by tapa it goes on being nourished; and then, if sakshatkar with your ishta has occurred or siddhis of that kind have been obtained, and you wish, while remaining in this loka, to do the welfare of your followers, then it is the gift of Sanatan that you may remain situated with your shaktis and siddhis and do the work of jan kalyan. Those who wish to be liberated remain in amsha form and accept mukti, going on ahead to the divya dham.
What does Shani in the twelfth bhava give?
In the twelfth bhava he is the karak of moksha and makes one detached: the more sadhana you do, the more detached you will become, he says. This is positive too — but if your time and circumstance are not right, if you are running away, then it is not right. If, however, you have the sense of what is proper and improper and you are doing sadhana, then the virakti you get is a paushtik virakti. One who has gone into this cannot fall: he went detached, and maya will be present in his life saying yes, give up the path of sannyas — but he will not give it up; he will remain nourished.
Narayana manifests and she asks not for revenge but for a place in his own nija dham
At that time Bhagavan Shri Hari Narayana manifests and explains that she should not stop it; whereupon she prays for the attainment of the divya dham, that he should give her a place in his own nija dham and afterwards do as he pleases. After granting her mukti, the slaying of those rakshasas takes place.
What should be done for a dying man who cannot obtain release?
To a questioner who writes that her father-in-law is at the last stage before death, that he has cancer, that the doctors long ago gave up, that he weeps in agony daily and is not obtaining release, and that it is very painful to see him so, he answers: in such a situation you should recite, or have recited, the Gajendra Moksha of Bhagwan beside him, daily. By its effect he will obtain release as quickly as possible.
What should be recited for one who is dying, and what should be donated?
Cloth should be washed and then donated, he says — clean, tidy cloth. The paath of Gita ji can also be recited to the person; but the Gajendra Moksha will be more effective.
What does Sanatan prescribe after death?
Sanatan culture, the speaker says, tells you that even drinking liquor in the living state brings so many sins, and that fifty things are told to you and you are told to remain good. In our place, he says, bhoga is nowhere given after death: there is the vidhan of the attainment of Sayujya and Salokya, and six kinds of mukti have been spoken of. Those things are attained according to one's own punya, and according to the desires one obtains such yonis as well, where you obtain bhoga. It is a lack of information, he says, that people are not able to understand.
Which sadhana should be done at the Pushkar tirtha?
Look, in the Pushkar kshetra you may do any sadhana, the speaker says — but there, such sadhana as relates to moksha, in which you wish that mukti or moksha be obtained by you. If there is dosha and the like connected with the pitrs, then for its removal you may do sadhana there particularly; you may also do sadhana connected with Bhagavan Narayana, or connected with Shiva.
Why is a phalashruti written at the end of these texts?
He asks listeners to consider why it is repeatedly written at the end that when this whole path is completed the dhaam of Bhagwan Shiva will be got, that you will attain Shiva loka, will attain Shiva sayujya, will attain the Shiva pada; and in some places that you will attain Vishnu loka. Reflect on all these things, he says — do not simply get trapped.
Can Ma Kali not grant moksha?
If Ma Kali cannot grant moksha, he answers, then not one of the ten Mahavidyas can grant moksha. Some greatly learned person, he remarks, has given the questioner knowledge of this kind — and what is he to say.
What is the purpose behind the form of Shmashan Bhairav?
That form is not as it is for no reason, he says. Giving gati after death, giving mukti, protecting those forms, and the whole matter of the sadgati of atmas — all of this comes under that form.
