Maintaining a house after abhichaar has been removed
The speaker draws a distinction: the long sadhana and its single prayoga removed the root of the abhichaar in one stroke, but that is not the end. After it, whatever mangalik karya there are — Sundarkand paath, Satyanarayan Puja — are to be had done in the house again and again, not once. What the prayoga removed was the root; regular auspicious rites keep the house as it should be.
Special case: moving deities into a house that also gets a griha pravesh or Satyanarayan puja
The speaker says that if a Satyanarayan Puja is being done, or it is a brand-new house where a full Griha Pravesh will take place, the procedures change. After the griha pravesh vidhi, or as the pandit directs, the household deities are worshipped as part of the griha pravesh puja, and only then established there and their daily seva-puja begun.
The night Purnima pujan falls on one night and the morning worship on the day after
Those who wish to do pujan along with a vrat, who wish to do night-time puja, or who wish to take prasad after the night-time puja, will do it tomorrow itself, the speaker says, because the night-time Purnima will be obtained tomorrow alone. Those who have to do morning puja — the puja of Bhagavan Satyanarayan, a sahasrarchan and the like during the day, a havan in the morning — can do it the day after tomorrow.
Why is the pandit mocked while the tantrik is feared?
He contrasts the honour other communities give their own observant men with the treatment of a shikha-wearing Brahman in Sanatan society, who is mocked with names, and says the practice of the times was: laugh at the pandit, and be afraid of the tantrik. Once such a fashion spread, everyone ran from all of it.
What is the real katha of Satyanarayan?
A listener says the katha that is narrated appears to be only the phalashruti, and asks what the actual katha is. The speaker answers that on this subject he will tell them the whole Puran itself. Asked separately about a book, he says a book on the sadhanas will certainly be published if the YouTube family grows and some financial capability arises from it, since even a small-scale publication requires registration after registration, and that needs money.
