What are the remedies for intense occult afflictions involving Veera Shakti?
Recite the Shiva Raksha Stotra and take complete refuge in Shiva, or perform a milk-stream purification (Dugdha-Dhar Utra) at the home's threshold at dusk while invoking Narasimha and Hanuman — alternatively, offer daily worship to Narasimha, consume Charanamrita, and wear offered Tulsi on the head.
However great the Brahm, it yields at the name of that swaroop
If anyone worships such swaroops in the divine or the tantrik kshetra, then the fierceness of her swaroop is so great that whatever Brahm there may be, however great a Brahm shakti — whether it be a khooni Brahm or an ordinary one, that is, speaking of the most ugra shakti — it accepts at once at her name. Her swaroop is itself so majestic that it has to be accepted. No one disregards her word. Even in the Bindu kshetra, he says, people do smaran and pujan of this swaroop for these purposes.
Why is the energy of the rajaswala state described as so intense?
Because this energy is so intense at that time, the speaker says, remaining in so extremely ugra a state, and it becomes established in the body of someone who is in truth the shakti that bears motherhood itself. By their grace and blessing, he asks, what cannot happen?
What if an ugra shakti worshipped in your home is displeased?
If some fierce shakti is worshipped in your house and an offence has been committed by you on account of which she is displeased and is not relenting — then in Shravan too, doing abhishek of Shiva ji with curd and jaggery and performing all the rest of the vidhan, and kindling a jyot, you may do the japa of their nama mantra or whatever japa and tapa you do. From that too they become gentle, their fierceness ends, and they are pleased.
When the weapons were turned on Ganesh, Parvati manifested two Shaktis — a thousand such powers live within the gentle Parvati
She was swept into boundless anger and manifested two Shaktis. One stood with her mouth spread wide like the cave of a black mountain; the other took a form like lightning, many-armed, punishing the wicked, a terrible Mahadevi. Within the gentle Parvati, he says, a thousand such Shaktis are present.
One Shakti, her mouth spread like a black cave, devoured every weapon thrown until only Ganesh's Parigha remained in sight
The one whose mouth was spread like a black cave ate every weapon the Devas threw, until not one Deva's weapon could be seen in that place and only Ganesh's Parigha was visible. As Mandarachal churned the ocean of milk, so this one boy churned the whole unassailable army of the Devas.
Kartikeya alone did not flee; the two Shaktis cut apart every Deva's weapon and all ran back to Shiva
All the Devas fled; only the valorous Kartikeya did not, and stood firm before Ganesh, holding the rest back. The two Shaktis meanwhile made every one of them fail, cutting apart the weapons of all the Devas.
The Devi's staff blunted even Vishnu's power, and the two Shaktis surrendered their strength to Ganesh
The boy struck Vishnu with the staff Bhagavati had given him, and by that blow the strength of Vishnu together with all the Devas was blunted and they turned away from the fight. There was that much capacity in it — even Vishnu's powers were blunted there.
How long do all ugra shaktis take?
As many ugra shaktis as there are, he says, they take sadhanas of twelve years. You may do it going into different kshetras, or do it in one kshetra. In less than that it does not happen. Afterwards there are a great many rules.
Which sadhanas suit a person with a strong Mangal?
The second thing, he says, is that if Mangal is strong, then if you do the sadhana of Bhagavati Baglamukhi, of Hanuman ji, or of such shaktis as are connected with the field of war — the ugra shaktis, particularly, though all the shaktis are such, yet still those whose swarup is of that kind — then you get a swift result.
Virachari sadhaks and the kings of the time broke the invasions on the strength of their siddhis
The first attacks were never direct, he says: read history, and when an invasion occurred, the Virachara sadhaks of that time and the kings and maharajas, on the strength of the kind of siddhis they had obtained, broke the backs of these people.
When Chandi moves, nothing is able to stand before her vega
When Chandi moves, he says, no one is then able to stand before her vega. Bring that; bring that velocity. Nothing will be accomplished by playing this theatrical game — those who wish to set up a darbar and do all that theatre should leave this channel; he will not speak to them.
You are not the one who should have to escape — the samarthya within should make that unnecessary
Reading out a comment that we do not need to do a kavach in order to escape from mlecchas, he says: remember one thing from today. Escape from whom? The samarthya within you should be such that they have to escape from you.
The need to escape will fall on him, not on you
The need will not fall upon you, he says: when you perform sadhana of this kind, the need to escape will fall upon him — take it as settled. You do not have to escape; how did you come to say that you have to escape? The samarthya within you will be such that on seeing you he will wet his trousers. He then closes, saying let us meet again.
Which is the greatest of the Bhavanis?
The greatest Bhavani among them, he says, is Trinetra. Three eyes are the greatest identifying mark of hers. She is held to be the direct form of the three-eyed Chandi Durga. And she can be in many forms — she can be in a Lakshmi form, she can be in other forms, she is Mahayagni; and in a very subtle and gentle manner she dwells, so to speak, in someone's kula, in the param kula.
Why would a sadhak want to give up such shaktis?
When someone is bound to such shaktis by vachan and has to renounce them — now the body is no longer supporting him. Whoever keeps shaktis of this kind made siddh has to give them bhog and always keep them engaged in something somewhere, because ugra shaktis will never sit quiet and saumya in your house. So while still alive he wishes to do their visarjan lovingly, with vidhi-vidhan and with self-respect.
Which shaktis stand under Bhagavati Tara's control?
Exactly in the same way, related to Akshobhya Shiva and related to Maharshi Vashishtha, there is a tantra related to Bhagavati Tara — in which, especially, those shaktis which are under control nowhere else are under the control of Bhagavati Tara.
What are the two kinds of Mrigendra sadhana?
Mrigendra sadhana is of two kinds, the speaker says. One Mrigendra sadhana is an independent sadhana, of the Veer bhaav. And one is of Bhagavati's Mahasingh. Within that too it depends upon the different forms of Jagadamba: it is Mahavishnu in all of them, but according to the form — as with the eighteen-armed Durga ji, in which the singh is a separate matter, and in the eight-armed it becomes different. With the form there is a difference of mantra and the rest as well.
Who are the veers worshipped as lokveers held to be?
These, he says, are such shaktis connected with Hindu culture and current from the medieval period, who in their living time had also perfected some tantra siddhi or other and were along with it of a veer bent, or had attained veergati in battle, or had obtained some such siddhi. If deities of this kind are in your area and you have information about them — and only if you have information, and only if they are satvik — you should go to their place at the time of Gupt Navratra and kindle dhoop and deep.
The shakti named was fully established and pacified in some past period and remains fully capable today
What you have written the name of here — this thing absolutely used to be so at one time, he says. In some period of time this thing, this shakti, was fully established and pacified; at that time their effect, which had become pervasive in this loka and in all the lokas, was pacified. And even today they are fully capable. It is for this reason that you should do it in this manner.
What is the relation of the fifty-two Veers to Bhairav pujan?
As for the fifty-two Veers, whom we all know about, in whichever kshetra those fifty-two Veers are chiefly worshipped, there too, without the pujan of Bhairav ji, the puja of those Veers, or their proper condition, cannot come about — their balance cannot come about.
If this distortion settles into society, no one will ever again be able to perform the avahan of Bhagavati Ranchandi
When such a distortion enters society, he says, that is what will happen — no one will ever again be able to perform the avahan of Bhagavati Ranchandi. Even Bhagavan Krishna, when the need arose on the battlefield, performed the avahan and aradhana of Jagadamba.
