Navnath Chaitanya sadhana as the foundation of Nath Shabari vidya
The speaker says that in the field of Nath Shabari Vidya the Navnath are the root, so the very first sadhana is the Navnath Chaitanya mantra sadhana, which he had his group do for eleven days from Makar Sankranti. Once the Navnath have been made chaitanya, they must be woken again before any Shatkarma one ever does, because it is those nine who grant success to the karma. He compares it to Omkar: until Om is chaitanya nothing else becomes chaitanya, since everything is in Omkar. Whether one follows a tantrokta vidhan or does bhakti, if the Navnath are not woken and their alakh adesh not applied, it will not bear fruit. He adds that an experienced sadhak may doubt such a basic sadhana — like a class-ten student asked a class-one question — but that is exactly why it comes first.
Householders outside a Nath parampara get a limited vidhan; demanding the full one brings dosha on both sides
The speaker says disciples inside a parampara are told the vidhi in full, but for someone who cannot become a disciple, or has limits and does not want to come in fully, vidhans have been given so that one may stay a grihastha, do things in a certain way, and still gain the Navnath's grace and progress. If such a person insists on receiving the whole vidhan, then both the giver and the doer incur Dosha, because it is outside the schedule — every sadhana has its copyright, and the Nath family rightly asks why it should give its thing outside its parampara; no one will do such a foolish thing. So the giver tells only as much as benefits the other person and gets his work done — and then the seeker, given something below his level, doubts that anything happened at all.
Kalka Yogini and the shabari sadhanas are very sharp, and not everyone stays balanced when those energies land — five lakh of the Panchakshari first.
He says that for the Kalka Yogini or the other shabari sadhanas he does not apply much pressure, and does not discuss them much, because those things are very sharp. He does not know whether the listener has done at least some foundational sadhanas or not. If he keeps discussing only that, then a great many will indeed do those sadhanas, but when the energies become present and their effect falls, not everyone is able to stay balanced. So he says it is better if those who go into all that have done at least five lakh of the Panchakshari.
What is the danger in a sadhana whose results come immediately?
Although, the speaker says, there is no such issue in the Kalka Yogini, the enjoyment that comes when tasks begin to be accomplished and the intellect opens up leads a person to repeat it to a very great extent — and in that prayoga the result comes at once. Nobody will clearly report the misuse: while nothing is happening, mails and messages come saying nothing has happened; when the enjoyment of it working begins, nobody says anything; and only when a mistake happens in that enjoyment does the report come, a year or a year and a half later.
Can a woman do the Shabari kavach in a menstruating state?
The listener's question says women cannot do the Shabari kavach in an "impure" rajaswala state. The speaker says it is better if that state is not called impure at all — the subject there is not one of impurity but something else. For a Devi sadhak in particular, the matter of impurity will never be spoken of.
Which kavach awakens the fastest?
Brother, see, every kavach is awake, the speaker says. All mantras are awake; there is no such mantra as is not awake. Keep this in mind: it is the tattva within us that does not awaken. So it depends upon you, how quickly you will awaken it.
Gau pujan is all the more necessary for sadhanas connected with shabari vidya
For those doing shabar mantra sadhana, he says to keep especially in mind that for sadhanas connected with shabari vidya, gau pujan is all the more necessary, because a great many prayogas are connected with the gau mata. Those especially who are going to do shabar mantra sadhanas should certainly do the Govatsa Dwadashi prayoga that has been described.
How is the havan for the Shabari kavach done?
Asked by Deepshikha ji how to do the havan for the Shabari kavach, he says he would have to tell her — it can only be managed by doing it and showing it. In that manner there is no need of a havan in it, he says, but fine, he will tell her sometime.
What is the Gramin Bhagatvaal stream, and what does it do on this day?
One part of the traditions running in Tantra has been the Gramin Bhagatvaal — a genuine but small-scale branch, mostly of Sabari Vidyas and deity-related practices, carried in a subtle and limited form. On Hal Shashthi its Gurus transmit the Vidyas by Upadesh alone.
Is Batuk Bhairav sadhana required before a Sabar or Mahavidya sadhana?
Batuk Bhairav's sadhana is necessary in every house and with every power. Whichever form of the Mother you worship, Batuk Bhairav's worship is extremely necessary — after Guru sadhana comes Ganpati, after Ganpati comes Batuk Bhairav or a Bhairav form or the Kula Bhairav, and only after that the grahas of your chart.
Is a yantra needed for Sabar sadhana?
The speaker says Sabar mantras can absolutely be offered to those in whom there is a vigreh and for whom Vedic mantras are recited. And if you need a particular siddhi, then you will need a tantrokta Sabar yantra made by vidhi-vidhan, the yantra of Sabari Devi and so on.
Which is correct, the Shabari kavach or the Sarvarishta Nivaran stotra?
Both are correct, the speaker answers: do the one in which your shraddha lies.
Is there a vidhi for knowing one's kuldevi?
Asked to tell some vidhi for knowing the kuldevi, he says it has been told before; it is available on this channel too, and it is available in complete detail in the Siddh Sabari Vidya as well. Please look at it once, he says.
What special sadhana should be done on Guru Purnima?
Asked whether special sadhana should be done on Guru Purnima, the speaker says it absolutely may. All those who have performed the sadhana of Bhagavan Gorakhnath in particular should do the Guru Gorakh Sabari Navnath sadhana and the like again on that day, as a one-day observance. Those who have done Bhagavan Dattatreya's should do the sadhana of Bhagavan Dattatreya. This you may do.
Does the Sabari Kavach require initiation?
No initiation of any kind is needed, not even Navnath Deeksha. Only one thing to note: where the Gayatri occurs once within it, do not pronounce it aloud — recite that part mentally.
What should be done where Marana Tantra has been commissioned against a household?
The speaker's preference is the Sabari Kavach, the Narasimha Mala mantra, the Mahabhairav, and Hanuman's Bajrang Baan — things that bring quick benefit. The Narayana Kavach may also be done, but in Hindi it protects only up to a limit; perform such Anushthans at a temple.
Where is the vidhan for Guru Gorakhnath ji's mantra?
Search the Siddh Sabari Vidya channel, he says, or the link is in the description of this channel — there is a link in the description of every video. Go into it, and do the Sumeru Sabar of Guru Gorakhnath ji first of all. There is a vidhan for awakening the Navnaths which you may do. There are two mantras of Bhagavan Gorakhnath and two separate vidhans; for the beginning, do any one of those two.
How is a sadhana done holding Gorakhnath as guru?
To STB News Hindi ji, who asks how to do sadhana holding him as guru, he answers that the link to the Siddh Sabari Vidya channel stays there; search on YouTube and the full vidhan has been explained completely, of how the sadhana of Guru Gorakhnath is to be done.
What should be done when no marriage in the house is happening?
The speaker says some marriage-related sadhanas and siddh Sabari vidyas have been given on the channel, but that first of all the kundali should be analysed and whatever dosha there is should be removed. Pitra dosha, dev dosha, or abhicharik badha — only when all these are properly known can any upay or anushthan be told accordingly.
Is there an alternative to the five-grain lamp in the Bajrang Baan vidhi?
The speaker says that lamp is precisely for the prachand siddhi, if that is what you are doing. Otherwise a further video will be found on the Siddh Sabari Vidya channel — listen to that, where he has explained a different method.
Can the Mahabhairav mantra be used for the puja of the gram devata?
The speaker directs the questioner elsewhere: the vidhan of the pujan of the gram devata, and the vidhan for their grace, has been given separately on the Siddh Sabari Vidya channel, and the whole method is there — you may use that prayoga.
May the Datt mala mantra and the Hanuman Chalisa be perfected on Holika night?
Absolutely, the Datt mala mantra can be done on Holika night. As for the Hanuman Chalisa, the method of perfecting it has been given in great detail on the Siddh Sabari Vidya channel, and the siddhi of the Hanuman Chalisa may be done by that vidhan. He tells the listener to search for "Hanuman Chalisa Siddh Sabari Vidya" on YouTube, where the whole vidhan will come up.
