Why does a traveler's aura become especially vulnerable during pilgrimage, and how is it protected?
While traveling to a holy site, a person's subtle aura becomes highly sensitive, making negative subtle energies or ancestors seeking liberation more likely to attach — this Vayavya Baadha is guarded against through continuous chanting and contemplation, which act as a protective shield.
What is the Tantrokta Ratri Suktam used for?
The Vedokta Ratri Suktam is for those who know the utterance; others will not do it. The Tantrokta Ratri Suktam is especially for those who have insomnia-related problems, trouble sleeping at night; for boys whose swapna dosh problem is more than necessary; where you know abhicharik activity is going on and wrong kriyas happen in dreams at night, whether for a woman or a man; or where someone presses the throat during sleep.
It is for the destruction of abhichar, of any kritya or ganant vidya prayoga, of pretatva or pishachatva upon a family member, and of vayavya badha.
He says it is for the destruction of abhichar; for the destruction of any kritya prayoga that has been done; for the destruction of any use of ganant vidya; for the destruction of the presence of pretatva or pishachatva upon any member of the family, whether from a graha or from any other cause; for the destruction of any kind of vayavya badha; and, along with all that, so that the presence of protective energies increases at the listener's dwelling place.
What does it mean if a child or a girl calls you during sadhana?
Asked what it means and how it should be understood that during sadhana a small child called once and today a girl called, he says: do not take it to mean anything; ignore it and stay engaged in your sadhana. Whoever has to come before you will come. Many things occur — they may be surrounding vayaviya things, they may be things of the house; it may be auspicious and it may be inauspicious, it cannot be said just like that. But if it is happening, be glad that it is making a difference to someone.
When the kul pitr chaukhat prayog is called for
The speaker says the first prayog is for when it has become clear that the kul pitr of the house are displeased and unsatisfied with you, or that pitr dosha or a shrap is somehow present in your kundali or your life. It is the first prayog especially for those troubled by upari shaktis or vayavya baadha, and above all if pitr dosha is present. How and how fast pitr dosha attaches, he says, has been explained in earlier talks — the ill effect seems to come very quickly, but there are many reasons behind it.
Why does the body feel heavy and shake during mantra japa?
Two causes are possible, the speaker says: first, that the energy of the mantra japa is becoming unbalanced; second, that your bhaav is becoming exceedingly strong, your mind is settling in the ishta and aradhya, and by their grace the grace of their partial shaktis is coming upon you rightly. A third cause may be that if there is an abhicharik prayoga, or any kind of vayu badha or bhoot-pret related badha, the body shakes then too.
What should someone do whose kundali shows a vayavya dosha from Rahu beginning in March?
Take the benefit of the time that is running now, the speaker tells him. If some upari badha seems to be forming and light difficulty has begun, then begin from this Navratri either one of the Bhagavati mantra vidhans given — the 32 Namavali anushthan, the Ashtottara Shatanama anushthan — or the kavach anushthans, choosing the kavach or raksha mantra of whichever form you have shraddha in. And after the Navratra, do not stop.
