Badvanal for dosh of bhoot, pret, dakini, shakini, brahmarakshas, baital and water upadevatas
The speaker says that if, while walking on roads and ghats, or already in the house, or for any other reason, the dosh of a bhoot, Preta, dakini, Shakini, Brahmarakshas or Baital, or the dosh of water deities and Upadevata of that kind, is present on the body, the Badvanal Anushthana can be done for its removal.
How is the name Kalika misused in abhichar karma?
In the same way, in abhichar karma and especially in shamshani work, he has told before how many people are misled under the name of Kalika. Some sadhaks and sadhikas of his own became confused and said that since he has given the Kalika Yogini sadhana, and since he had said that such Digambar-side sadhaks set shamshan shaktis running in the form of Kalika, is this the same thing? He answers: brother, it is a sadhana of Bhagavati. But when, by the mantras of Bhagavati, some shakini or the soul of some pregnant woman who has died is made siddh, then that too is given the form of Kalika, because that tattva entered her — she was energised by that mantra's energy and attained a form of that kind.
What is said about Ganesh ji and the Dakini and Shakini?
Below Ganesh ji are Dakini, Shakini and so forth, he says, and Bhagavati and Shiva ji control the gagan.
Why does Ma hold the severed head?
She is seated to drink the blood, the speaker says. Ma takes the munda in her hand — she performs the drinking of blood. As for why her form in tantra is as it is there, and who she is, and the jackals: why they are there has a separate mahatmya of its own, a separate tantrokta subject, as with the Dakini, the Shakini and the rest whom we see with other devi-devatas.
