Dus Mahavidya

KALI
Goddess Kali holds the primary position among all the ten great learnings. There is a tale mentioned
in the Kalika-Purana. Once the deities went to the Himalayas and eulogized the personifications of the
illusions of the world (Mahamaya). According to the Purana this place was the hermitage of Sage
Matang. Pleased by them, Bhagavati appeared in the form of Matang's mistress and asked as to
whom were they eulogizing.
Instantly a divine appearance manifested from the body of that mistress, which was as dark as a
Mountain in complexion. This divine appearance herself answered on behalf of the deities that these
deities are eulogizing me.
Since the complexion of that divine appearance was black like a collyrium she was given the name of
KALI.
Though the worship of Kali requires proper initiation yet one can attain her blessings by other means
also. Goddess Kali is pleased by chanting mantras, doing worship and a sacrifice or burnt offering etc.
either on the image, or by the help of Yantras (mystical diagrams) or by any other way shown by an
able teacher (Guru).
If goddess Kali is pleased then all the aspirations of man gets fulfilled and he is saved from the
dangerous calamities.

HANUMAN SADHANAS
Sadhanas of Lord Hanuman are really amazing in the results they produce and what
more they are so easy and quick acting that there could be no other Sadhana like
them. Then what is the need to go in for tough rituals when all solutions can be ad
through them.

Years back a friend was to appear for an interview for a job but he was in the grip of
fear. He needed a job badly, but more than 200 candidates had been called when only
five were to be selected. Tension and doubts had made my friend nervous. I advised
him to just recite the Hanuman Tantra Chamatkaaraanushtthaan once before he
went in for the interview. And so he did. While others sat outside poring into books,
he sat there calmly mentally repeating the divine verses. When he was called in he
looked calm and cool and he went inside with full confidence. He was selected and to
this day he says that it was the Lord who saw him through.
It is also a tested fact that one can walk through a dense jungle or even a funeral
ground without fear of being troubled by spirits, snakes or animals, especially when
one keeps repeating Hanuman Mantra or Hanuman Chalisa (a special prayer of the
Lord in verse form).
Water energised with Hanuman Sadhana has often been poured into the mouth of
ailing patients in grave pain and the results have been miraculous, for with the grace
of the Lord they regained their health. For the Lord nothing is impossible, because one
who can carry a whole mountain, or defeat even a great warrior like Ravan can rush
with amazing alacrity when a Sadhak is in pain.
Hanuman is an epitome of celibacy, power, courage, fearlessness and complete faith.
An enemy or a problem is never big or small. It is rather one's confidence that can
help one overcome even the worst. And a Sadhak of Lord Hanuman is everflowing
with confidence, for he ever remains aware that there is always the mighty Lord
nearby to protect him.

Important Rules For This Sadhana

1. The idol of Hanuman should be smeared with a paste of vermilion and sesame seed
oil.

2. Among the various sweets it is best to offer jaggery, coconut, laddus in the
morning, jaggery, ghee and chapati (Indian bread) mixture (choorma) at noon and
fruits like mangoes, guavas and bananas at night to the Lord.
3. Only large red and yellow flowers like lotus, sunflower and marigold should be
offered.
4. A ghee lamp with one or five wicks should be lit.
5. Celibacy should be maintained during Sadhana.
6. If possible take a bath only with water from a well.
7. The Mantra should be chanted clearly, looking straight into the eyes of the Lord.
8. Sadhanas should not be tried with evil intentions.
9. Lord Hanuman signifies true devotion, hence the Sadhak should be fully devoted.
10. Having a picture of Lord Rama and Sita in the place of Sadhana pleases the Lord.
18.4.2000 is the birth day of Hanuman, and there could be no better day for Hanuman
Sadhana. A Sadhana tried on this day cannot fail and the Sadhak gets the desired
results very soon. Presented ahead are some wonderful rituals which could be started
from this day or any Tuesday.

THE BASIC SADHANA PROCESS

In the Sadhanas that follow the initial Sadhana process remains the same. Only the
Sadhana material shall differ.
Wear red robes and sit facing South on a red mat in Veerasan (as Muslims sit for
prayers). Cover a wooden seat with vermilion and on it place a picture of the Lord. In
a copper plate place the Yantra and other materials. Next take some water in your
right palm and vow thus - I (speak your name) accomplish this Sadhana for fulfillment
of this task.
After this close your eyes and meditate on the mighty form of the Lord. Next chant
thus Udyanmaartand Koti Prakat Ruchiyutam Chaaru Veeraasanastham,

Mounji Yagyopaveetaarunn Ruchir Shikhaa Shobhitam Kundalaamkam.

Bhaktaanaamishtadam Tam Prannat Munijanam Vednaad Pramodam,
Dhyaayed Nityam Vidheyam Kulpatim Goshpadi Bhootvaarim.
I pray to Lord Hanuman who is refulgent like a million suns, handsome, seated in
Veerasan, who wears the sacred thread Yagyopaveet, who is worshipped even by
Yogis, who is the Lord of Vaanars, who can jump over the ocean and who can fulfill
all one's wishes.

RITUAL FOR MANIFESTATION

Hanuman is all powerful, courageous, removes all problems and sorrows. Chanting
his name is enough to fill one with courage and energy.
Before yourself place Hanuman Yantra in some plate. On it smear vermilion. Next
offer a mixture of jaggery, ghee and chapati. Thereafter chant 11 rounds of the
following Mantra with Red Coral rosary.
Om Namo Hanumantaay Aaveshay Aaveshay Swaahaa.
After completion of the Mantra recital go to sleep there itself. This Sadhana should be
tried only at night and must be continued for 11 days. Let the sweet offered remain at
its place. The next day put it in some utensil and offer fresh sweets.
The eleventh night Lord Hanuman without fail manifests before the Sadhak and
provides solutions to the problems of the Sadhak or blesses him with desired success.
After completion of Sadhana give away the sweet collected on all eleven days to some
poor person or go and bury it in the earth in South direction from your home. Sadhaks
have managed to ward off acute problems, ailments and even possible incarceration
through this Sadhana. Without doubt this ritual is unfailing and unique.

BOOST YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE

Several sudden occurrences in life make a human lose his sense of balance. In such
circumstances one must remain determined and unmoving like a rock like Lord
Hanuman. Whatever be the circumstances, however negative be the atmosphere, one

needs to remain unperturbed, and capable of taking the right decision. Such a
capability can be gained through the following powerful Hanuman Sadhana.
Placing a Hanuman Mudrikaa ( a special ring) before yourself chant the following
Mantra daily 21 times
Om Hum Om Hum Om Hanumate Phat.
Try this daily for 5 days and after Sadhana wear the ring in some finger. After two
months leave the ring in some temple in the feet of the Lord. This Sadhana shall
provide you with a shield-like confidence and determination.

SUCCESS IN YOUR TASK

Place a Bajrang Yantra in some copper plate. Smear Three Madhuroopen
Rudraksh with a paste of vermilion and sesame seed oil. Place one each on the right,
left and in the front of the Yantra. After this chant 5 rounds of the following Mantra
wit a Red Coral Rosary.
Om Namo Bhagwate Sarva Grahaan Bhoot Bhavishya Vartmaan Doorasth
Sameepasthaan Chhindhi Chhindhi Bhindi Bhindi Sarva Kaal Dusht
Buddhinuchchaatyo-chchaatay Par Balaan Shobhay Shobhay Mam Sarva
Kaaryaanni Saadhay Saadhay. Om Namo Hanumate Om Hraam Hreem Hroom
Phat. Dehi Om Shiv Siddhim Om Hraam Om Hreem Om Hroom Om Hrem Om
Hroum Hrah Swaahaa.
This is a 12 day ritual and after this all the articles must be dropped in a river or pond.

RIDDANCE FROM PROBLEMS

Place a Hanumat Yantra before yourself and in its centre place a Maaruti Munj
Phal. Then chant this Mantra for half an hour without keeping count.
Om Namo Hanumate Parkrit Yantra Mantra Paraahankaar Bhoot Pret
Pishaach Par Drishti Sarva Vighna Maarjan Hetu Vidyaa Sarvogra Bhayaan
Nivaaray Nivaaray Vadh Vadh Luntth Luntth Pach Pach Vilunch Vilunch Kili
Kili Sarva Kuyantraanni Dushtvaacham Om Hreem Hreem Hoom Phat
Swaahaa.

Repeating the Sadhana daily for seven days helps in riddance from some sudden
problem. Later leave the articles in some temple.

SUBDUING ENEMIES
If some foe is proving to be a great threat to your life, reputation, position, family or
job or if you are caught in some court case then he can be subdued through this
powerful ritual. Place a Bajrang Yantrabefore yourself and on its right hand side
make a mound of rice grains. Then smear vermilion on a Baalaadikam Dand and
place it on the mound. Then chant 11 rounds of the following Mantra with a Red
Coral rosary.
Om Poorva Kapimukhaay Panchmukh Hanumate Tam Tam Tam Tam Tam
Sakal Shatru Sanhaarannaay Swaahaa.
Repeating this for eight consecutive days brings forth amazing results. On the ninth
day leave all the articles in some secluded spot under the open sky.

NEUTRALISING SPIRITS AND EVIL PLANETS

This is a really fast ritual which should be tried at night. One does not need any rosary
for it. Place a Hanuman Yantra before yourself and on it place a Hanuman Baahuk.
Next chant the following Mantra 1000 times. This shall put an end to all problems
created by spirits or evil planets.
Om Ayeim Shreem Hraam Hreem Hoom Hroum Hrah Om Namo Bhagwate
Mahaabal Paraakramaay Bhoot Pret Pishaach Brahma Raakshas Shaakini

Om Namo Bhagwate Hanumadaakhyaay Rudraay Sarva Dusht Janmukh
Stambhanam Kuru Kuru Swaahaa. Om Hraam Hreem Hreem Ttham Ttham
Ttham Phat Swaahaa.
Do this regularly for five days. After five days drop the Yantra in a river or pond and
tie the Hanuman Baahuk in a red thread around your neck or around the neck of the
person for whom the ritual has been accomplished.

HANUMANMANTRA
CHAMATKAARAANUSHTTHAAN
Shankaracharya, a Siddh (spiritually accomplished person) in Hanuman Sadhanas
composed the Divine Hanumanmantra Chamatkaaraanustthan, which basically
contains 20 Mantras.
Out of these twenty, seven main Mantras are being reproduced here for the good of
the Sadhaks. 11000 chantings of all these Mantras must be completed from
one Tuesday to the next and a Coral rosary should be used to keep the count. For this
Sadhana one must wear Hanuman Gutikaa tied in a red cloth around one's neck
suspended from a black thread. Daily the seven Mantras should be chanted at least
1000 times for ensuring success in life.

Sadhana : The Right Way

Every Sadhak tries his best to accomplish daily worship and use special Mantra
rituals. But every Sadhana has a particular procedure and every deity or the Guru is
worshipped in a particular manner: Presenting some important rules is this
wonderfully enlightening article.
In every Sadhana, Upchaar or special worship of deity has an important place.
Upchaar means devotedly making some offerings to the deity in order to win his or
her grace.
There is no fixed rule for Upchaar but including this worship procedure in Sadhana
assures quicker success. There are different types of Upchaars ranging from
Ekopchaar to Sahastropchaar. Our article shall focus only on Shodashopchaar,
Dashopchaar and Panchopchaar forms of worship in which 16, 10 and 5 articles are
offered respectively. In each age, forms of worship have been different but in the
present age of hustle and bustle performing a Sadhana itself is a great fortunate
achievement and the shorter the procedure the better.
It is best to do Shodashopchaar worship in which 16 articles are offered but in daily
Sadhana Panchopchaar worship would suffice and in it five articles namely fragrance,
flowers, incense, ghee lamp and sweets are offered.

Shodashopchaar
This includes 1. Aavaahan
2. Aasan
3. Paadya
4. Arghya
5. Aachamaniya
6. Snaan
7. Vastra

8. Madhupark
9. Tilak
10. Akshat
11. Pushp
12. Dhoop
13. Deep
14. Neivedya
15. Taambool
16. Naariyal

Aavaahan
Many do not count this in the procedure and instead just offer prayers to the deity. It
means inviting the deity concerned to come and bless the Sadhak. For this both hands
are joined and the following Mantra is chanted.
Aavaahayaami Devesh Sarvashakti Shakti Samanvite,
Naaraaynnaay Bhadraay Gururoopaayate Namah.
Guru Brahmaa Guru Vishnnuh Gurudevo Maheshwarah.
Guru Saakshaat Parbrahma Tasmei Shree Gurave Namah.

Aasan
A worship mat is used in order to make the physical body free of ailments, the soul
pure and gain divine powers. Basically a man acts as a bad conductor and does not

allow energy of Mantra chanting from being earthed. Torn, burnt, and used mats are
prohibited. Deer skin, tiger skin, grass, silk, cotton and wool mats are best. Deer skin
for gain of knowledge, tiger skin for spiritual progress & wealth, and wool for
riddance from sorrows and poverty are prescribed. Deities are offered a mat of flowers
and then the following Mantra is chanted.
Ramyam Sushobhanam Divyam Sarva Soukhyakaram Shubham.
Aasanam Cha Mayaa Grihaann Parameshwar.

Paadya
Offering water in the feet of the deity is called Paadya. For this two spoonfuls of
water is offered chanting thus.
Yad Bhakti Lesh Samparkat Paramaanand Sambhavah.
Tasmei Te Parameshaan Paadyam Shuddhaay Kalpaye.

Arghya
Water offered to deities for washing their hands is called Arghya. Mix flowers and
fragrance in water in a tumbler. Offer chanting thus.
Arghyam Grihaann Devesh Gandh Pushpaakshateih Sah.
Karunnaam Kuru Me Dev! Grihaannaarghya Namastu Te.

Aachamaniya
Water offered to deities for rinsing the mouth is called Aachamaniya. Offer water
chanting -

Sarva Teerth Samaaneetam Sugandhim Nirmalam Jalam.

Aachmyataam Mayaadattam Grihaann Parameshwar.

Snaan
All deities are present in the ocean of knowledge, still three spoonfuls of water is
offered as a mark of respect for a bath.
Gangaa Saraswatee Revaa Payoshanni Narmadaajaleih.
Snaapitosi Mayaa Dev Tathaa Shaantim Kurushnna Me.

Vastra
Clean & new clothes are offered. Offering old, torn clothes leads to
losses. Mouli (holy red thread) can be offered instead chanting thus.
Sarva Bhooshaadi Ke Soumye Lok Lajjaanivaaranne.
Mayopapaadite Tubhyam Grihaann. Parameshwar.

Madhupark
Bathe the deity with honey. The Mantra is Om madhuvvaataa Rataayate madhuKsharanti sindhavaH maadhveenrah
santvoShadheeH.
madhunaktamutoSh so madhumat paarthav (Gum) rajaH.
madhu dhaurastu naH pitaa madhumaatro vanaspatiH madhumaanastu sooryaH

maadhvee graavo bhavantunaH.

madhu snaanam samarpayaami namaH.
After this, bathe the deity again with pure water chanting :
punaH shuddhodak snaanam samarpayaami.

Tilak
For riddance from sins, afflictions and misfortune a mark is made on the forehead of
the deity. Sandalwood paste is best otherwise Ashtgandh, Gorochan, camphor, saffron
and musk can also be used. Mantra Shree Khand Chandanam Divyam Gandhaaddyam Sumanoharam.
Vilepanam Surshreshtth Chandanam Pratigrihyaataam.

Akshat
Akshat means unbroken rice grains which are offered to gain wealth and prosperity.
Mix with vermilion and offer them chanting thus.
Akshtaashcha Surshreshtth Kumkumaaktaah Sushobhitaah.
Mayaa Niveditaa Bhaktyaa Grihaann Parameshwar.

Pushp
Offer flowers to the deity for comforts, good luck and health chanting thus.
Maalyaadeeni Sugandheeni Maalatyaadeeni Veiprabho.

Mayopaneetaani Pushpaanni Grihaann Parameshwar.

Dhoop
Offer incense made from choicest and most fragrant herbs to the deity chanting thus.
Vanaspati Rasodbhootah Gandhaaddyah Sumanoharah.
Aaghreyah Sarvasevaanaam Dhoopoyam Pratigrihayataam.

Deep
Lighting a lamp before a deity signifies dispelling of darkness of ignorance from the
Sadhak's life. Mantra Suprakaasho Mahaadeepah Sarvatah Timiraapahah.
Sa Baahyaamyaram Jyotih Deepoyam Pratigrihyataam.

Neivedya
Neivedya means elixier. While offering sweets or food articles chant this.
Neivedyam Grihyataam Dev Bhaktim Me Hyachalaam Kuru.
Eepsitam Me Varam Dehi, Sarvasoubhaagya Kaarakam.

Taambool
Offer a betel leaf containing betel nuts, cloves and cardamom. A betel leaf is symbolic
of the sixteen Kalas or divine virtues. Mantra-

Poongifalam Mahad Divyam Naagvalee-rdaleiryutam.

Elaadi Choornna Sanyuktam Taamboolam Pratigrihyataam.

Naariyal
Take the naariyal in both hands chanting yatraa te dhratasy dhrataa te dhaaraNe viniyogaH dhee brahraar dhrataa vachanaa
yatraasv yatraa bhargo devaanaam dakshiNaaye saagarasy mahaalaKshmye
sampoorNayate saprabhaavaan japaa mam tvaam amuk gotrotpannoH ...... amuk
sharmaaH ...... tvaam purn bal buddhi vidhya purNatvam tvaam charaNe naarikel
fal grahmaati tvaam charne samarpayaami namaH.
Offer your body, strength and mind to the deity in the form of a naariyal.

Neeraanjan Aarti
Sing the Aarti (special hymn) of the deity whom you are worshipping. For Aarti use a
lamp with one or five wicks. MantraAanand Matra Makarandam Anant Gandh Yogineendra Susthir Malindam
Apaastabandham Vedaant Karannek Vikaashsheelam Naaraayannasya
Charannaambuj Maanatosmi.
With this the worship is over. If one is not able to do Shodashopchaar worship one
should do Panchopchaar worship while chanting the Mantras with full devotion.
One should daily offer prayers to one's deity and Guru.

Preparing for Sadhana

Each Sadhana has its own specific rules. There are some basic guidelines to be
followed to obtain success in Sadhanas:
Perform Sadhana in a clean, pure place wearing clean, freshly washed attire.

Have full Faith, Trust and Devotion towards Mantra, Yantra Guru and Deity.

Be enthusiastic and alert. Have patience and strong will power.

You should use correct, consecrated and Mantra energised Sadhana articles.

You should perform Self analysis and do self-correction

You should attend Sadhana Camps to gain practical knowledge about Sadhanas

You should perform Sadhana only after taking relevant Diksha from Revered Trimurti
Gurudevs.

You should stay in touch with Revered Trimurti Gurudevs and keep discussing various aspects
of Sadhana with Them.

You should make "Guru Geeta" and "Nilkhileshwaranand Stavan" an essential part of your
daily prayer.

You should eat pure "Satvik" food. You should refrain from eating non vegetarian food,
"Taamsik" food like onion, garlic etc. , smoking or drinking. You should not eat in hotels etc.

You should remain celibate during the Sadhna period.

You should finish the entire daily mantra chanting (complete all rounds of rosary) in one
sitting without getting up from your seat (asan).

You should sit erect and keep your body still whilest chanting mantras.

You should start Mantra Chanting at the same time daily.

You should sleep on the floor during Sadhana period.

You should refrain from talking and should conserve all your energy during Sadhana period.

You should not sleep during day time.

You should not talk to others about your Sadhana. You should communicate only with
Revered Trimurti Gurudevs or Gurudham about Sadhana matters.

Generally, you should perform following rites-

1. Find out the required direction to sit in for specific Sadhana. Each Sadhana has
a specific direction. Then arrange to sit such that you face that particular
direction.
2. 1. Place a small wooden board in front of you. Spread a piece of cloth on it.
Each Sadhana will have a specific color. Put the photographs of deity, Yantras,
rosary and other Sadhana articles on steel plate(s). Unpack the Sadhana
articles, if you have received them in plastic packet, and then place them on
steel plate(s). Place these steel plate(s) on the cloth-cover on the wooden
board. You should not place the Sadhana articles on bare ground. If you do,
then all the benefic energy that you gained by performing the Sadhana will get
"earthed" and disappear into the ground. If you do not have steel plate, then
you may install the various Sadhana articles on the cloth-cover on the wooden
board.
3. 1. Always take a bath before starting to perform the Sadhana and then wear
the specific color robes. Each Sadhana has a specific color of robes to be worn.
In some Sadhanas, your are not allowed to wear any stitched clothes. Men
should wear the specific colored Dhoti in the traditional Indian style. Wear the
underwear on your body, and then wear the Dhoti. Women should wear
specific colored clothes. Wearing Saree (sari) is preferable. The process of
wearing saree/dhoti are detailed elsewhere in this faq. You should have
received a Guru Chadar/Pitambar (cotton shawl inscribed with Guru Mantra).
Wrap this shawl on your upper body below the neck like you would wrap a
blanket. Wrap the Guru Chadar/Pitambar (shawl) on your upper body. Don't
use perfumes, deodorent or powder etc. Only some Sadhanas (eg. Apsara
(Divine nymph) Sadhanas) require you to wear specific flower perfume on
body. Do NOT wear shoes/slippers etc. You should perform Sadhana
barefooted.
4. Find out the details of Prayer Mat/asana (color, texture,type etc.). Asana or
Prayer Mat is basically a seat, a piece of cloth. Most of the Sadhanas are
performed by sitting on the ground. However, your body should not touch the
bare ground. If it does, then all the benefic energy that you gained by
performing the Sadhana will get "earthed" and disappear into the ground.
Find out the color and type of asana (cotton/woollen etc.). Spread the asana
on ground to sit on it.
5. Each Sadhana has a specific Yogic-asana (sitting pose/posture/stance) like
Padamasan, Sukhasan, Siddhasana etc. Do not confuse this Yogic-Asana with
the Asana in above point. A Yogic-asana is a method or Pose/stance of sitting
in a specific way. However, as a newcomer in this field, you might not be able
to sit in the specific Yogic-asanas or do not know about them. You may sit

crosslegged on the asana (on ground) for most of the asanas. You should sit
upright with straight back. Some Sadhanas might require to be performed
standing up.
6. Day and Time of starting the Sadhana is very important. You should start the
Sadhana at the most auspicious time on the specific day. You may check the
auspicious times on our web site here. A time chart for auspicious times is also
contained in the magazine. Start the Sadhana on the Best time, and then
perform it at the same time everyday. You need to check Time only for the
first/starting day of the Sadhana. You should be very punctual about the time.
7. Now, whilest starting the Sadhana, you should light a deepak (lamp) and
incense sticks. Place them on the wooden board between the Sadhana articles
and yourself. You will need to light either a ghee (clarified Indian butter) lamp
or oil lamp depending on the Sadhana. You should always place the Incense in
front (in your left side). You should always place the butter oil (Ghee) lamp in
front (in your right side). If you are supposed to light lamp with other oils (eg.
mustard oil etc.), you should always place such oil lamp in front (in your left
side). You should use a cotton wick to light the lamp.
8. Again, each Sadhana has specific flowers to use. However you may use Rose
flowers for most of the Sadhanas.
9. You will need a small paste of Chandan (sandalwood powder) for the Sadhana.
You should add some water to a very small portion of sandalwood paste in a
small plate and keep this paste ready.
10. You should also keep some unbroken rice grains ready for Sadhana near you.
The rice grains should not be broken and it is preferable to mix them with
some vermilion powder.
11. You should also keep some fruits ready. Fruits should be in odd number, either
one fruit, or three fruit or five fruits.
12. You should also keep ready a small saucer (preferable a copper tumbler)
containing water. Also have a small spoon (preferably copper spoon) ready.
13. At this point you should light up the lamp and incense. Please ensure to put
enough oil/ghee in the lamp so that it keeps burning for the entire Sadhana
procedure.
14. Then, you should start the Sadhana. First, you should take some water in your
right palm, and say thus - "Myself (name) son of (father's name) am
performing (Sadhana name) on (date) at (time) at (name of place) to (purpose
eg. to get riddance from diseases). May I be successful by the divine grace of
revered Gurudev. " Then, let the water flow onto the ground. This is a basic
agreement between you and Divine done in the presence of natural element
(water) to attain success in Sadhana. You should do this on the first day of

Sadhana. There is no need to repeat it after that. This is called Sankalp. There
is a detailed article on our web site about Sankalp here.
15. Now, chant the holy word "OM" three times. You should close your eyes and
try to extend the chant for as long time as possible whilest breathing slowly.
This is done to activate your inner body.
16. Then, you should mentally meditate on the Divine form of Revered Gurudev in
your mind for a few minutes. You should mentally concentrate that you are
calling revered Gurudev to come and guide you to accomplish the Sadhana
successfully.
17. At this point, you need to perform some specific rites like welcoming Gurudev
(or the deity) and offering them various articles. Detailed Mantras and
procedure for this have been printed in various issues of magazine. One such
good article is "Sadhana : The Right Way" which was published
in magazine August 2000 issue and is also available on our web site here. A
general summary of the main steps in given below.
18. You should offer some water towards the base of revered Gurudev's photo to
wash His feet whilest chanting appropriate Mantra.
19. Then, you should take some sandalwood paste in the ring finger of right hand,
and mark some sandalwood paste on the feet of revered Gurudev whilest
chanting appropriate Mantra.. This is done to remove sins, faults, bad luck and
tensions from life.
20. Then, you should offer some unbroken rice (mixed with vermilion) to revered
Gurudev on the base of the photograph whilest chanting appropriate Mantra.
This is done to get a perfect body, wealth and prosperity.
21. Then you should mentally meditate that you are offering sweet scented
incense made of medicinal herbs to revered Gurudev so that your faults and
shortcomings can be destroyed. You should chant appropriate Mantra.
22. Then, you should mentally meditate whilest chanting appropriate Mantra that
you are offering lamp light to revered Gurudev to banish the dark ignorance of
knowledge from your heart.
23. Then, you should offer the fruits to revered Gurudev whilest chanting
appropriate Mantra.
24. Then, you should chant one complete rosary round of the Guru Mantra. The
Guru Mantra is
|| Om Param Tatvaay Naaraayannaay Gurubhyo Namah ||

25. You should chant the Guru Mantra using the Sfatik rosary. You should
purchase it separately. This is a white crystal rosary. Details on holding the
rosary and chanting Mantra are given elsewhere in this faq. If, for some
reasons, you don't have it, then you may use any other rosary to chant the Guru
Mantra. Please inform us by email if you did not receive the Guru
Chadar/Pitambar when you applied for Guru Diksha.
26. You should keep your eyes open and stare with a fix gaze either at the form of
revered Gurudev, or the lamp flame. If you perform Sadhana by closing eyes,
then there is a possibility of your falling asleep.
27. Then you should chant the required rounds of the required Mantra with the
required rosary. The actual pronunciation of every Mantra is very, very
important. If you are in doubt, then you should phone Jodhpur Gurudham to
check the correct pronunciation of the Mantra. It is not possible to check the
Mantra pronounciation on email/letter, since finer elements like tone etc.
cannot be tested. Audio recordings of some Mantras are available on our
website here.
28. Then, you should again chant one complete rosary of the Guru Mantra.
Therefore, you should always chant one complete round of Guru Mantra both
before and after the required Mantra. This embedding between Guru Mantra
is done to increase the beneficial power of your Mantra. If you are performing
"Guru Worship" then you should chant at least 4 rounds of Guru Mantra with
Sfatik Rosary.
29. After this, you should mentally pray to revered Gurudev offering Him the
complete Mantra chanting and praying for His blessings for success in
Sadhana. You should not get up during the entire Sadhana procedure and
remain seated upright and erect with straight back. The oil lamp should be
burning continuously during the entire Sadhana procedure.
30. Then, you should stand up. Put the still lighted ghee/oil lamp on a steel plate.
Take this steel plate in your hand and sing the Guru Aarti. An English
transliteration of the Aarti is listed on our web sitehere.
31. After the Aarti, you should sit down and meditate mentally asking revered
Gurudev forgiveness for any mistakes (known and unknown) made during the
Sadhana process and seeking His blessings for the success.
32. Then you should bow down in the Divine feet of revered Gurudev.
33. You should start the Sadhana at the same time daily for multiple days
Sadhana. You should always endeavor to complete the Sadhana for the
specified number of days. You will start feeling the beneficial effects of the
Sadhana after few days of doing the Sadhana. Please ensure to eat only pure,
vegetarian food during the Sadhana days and remain celibate (abstain from

sex) during this period. Also try to sleep on floor (not on bed) and speak as less
as possible (only when required) during this period. Follow other Sadhana
related rules religiously.
34. After the end of the specified days period, some Sadhanas require you to drop
the Sadhana articles in water. This is done to give back to nature what nature
gave us i.e. to get the required effects from the Sadhana articles, and then to
return them back to natural elements. You should drop the articles in the
running water (river, stream etc.). While dropping, meditate on the Divine
form of revered Gurudev and concentrate that " I am returning the Sadhana
articles back to nature. May I achieve full success in my endeavor." After
dropping the Sadhana articles in the water, you may continue to do Mantra
chanting daily without using the rosary. You cannot reuse the Sadhana articles
after dropping them in water. However, if you feel that you have made some
mistakes in performing Sadhanas, and/or have not gotten the complete
effects of performing Sadhana, then you may repeat the Sadhana upto a
maximum of three times with the same Sadhana articles. In this case, you
don't need to drop the Sadhana articles after performing Sadhana first time.
You may repeat the Sadhana on any other auspicious day. A list of auspicious
days for the month is also listed in the magazine, and is also available on our
website. However, after performing Sadhana three times, you should always
drop the Sadhana articles in water.
However, if you haven't received success after performing Sadhanas, then you should
contact revered Gurudev and get further guidance from Him.
There are thousands of Sadhanas for various materialistic and spiritual purposes.
Every problem of this material world can be solved by Mantras. Millions of disciples
of revered Gurudev are a proof of this. However, one needs to perform Sadhana
according to the correct practice. Please ask whenever you have some doubt and
please don't assume.
You should always use properly consecrated and sanctified Sadhana articles to
perform the Sadhana.
Every issue of "Nikhil Mantra Vigyan" magazine contains detailed description of
various Sadhanas and prices of specified Sadhana articles. International Prices of
some Sadhana articles, books, CDs etc. are listed on our website. You may also
contact Jodhpur Gurudham on email/telephone/letter/fax to get the prices.

All kinds of material problems can be solved by performing Sadhanas and taking
Dikshas. You may perform Sadhanas yourself to ward off malefic effects of bad
planets and to counter the black magic done against you. You should perform
Sadhanas yourself after taking Diksha to attain material and spiritual upliftment.
Sadhana is the only way to get Divine help to resolve tensions & problems of material
life and attaining spiritual elevation.
The chances of success in Sadhanas are increased manifold by taking Diksha as
during Diksha, Revered Gurudev transfers a part of His own spiritual penance power
into the disciple to steer him towards success. Guru Diksha is the basic foundation for
spiritual and material success.
You need to take Guru Diksha before performing any Sadhana or taking any other
Diksha. Guru Diksha is the first step of spiritual initiation. When you apply for Guru
Diksha, you get a Guru Pitambar(shawl to wear while performing Sadhana) and one
year subscription of "Nikhil Mantra Vigyan" magazine free along with Guru Diksha.
You should also take specific Diksha for this Sadhana to achieve complete success in
this Sadhana.
You may either get Diksha from Gurudev personally or the Diksha may be granted on
a photograph. The photograph should be a recent one, and can be of any size.
However the face should be clearly visible on the photograph.
The Diksha is granted free of cost by Revered Gurudev.However, a token amount is
charged for each Diksha which goes towards charitable causes through Dr. Narayan
Dutt Shrimali Foundation International Charitable Trust Society.
Each issue of Nikhil Mantra Vigyan magazine contains detailed information on
various rare and quickacting Sadhanas. You may click here for subscription
information.
You may refer to our Frequently Asked Queries section to clarify general doubts
about Sadhanas and Dikshas. You may also send us an email/letter/fax to Jodhpur
Gurudham for further guidance. Our email address is nmv@siddhashram.net

personality, a different conscience, hence only a Guru can decide which
method and technique would suit the disciple best. You should try to meet
Gurudev in person and discuss your problems and plans with Him. Gurudev
will advice about the best path to attain success depending on the ability and
aptitude of the disciple. You may either meet Revered Gurudev personally
either in Gurudham or during a Sadhana Camp, or you may correspond using
letter/fax/email.

2. Are there any general rules to be followed during Sadhna period?
There are some general specific rules to be followed for gaining success
in Sadhanas.
Perform Sadhana in a clean, pure place wearing clean, freshly washed attire.
Have full Faith, Trust and Devotion towards Mantra, Yantra Guru and Deity.

various aspects of Sadhana with Them.
You should make "Guru Geeta" and "Nilkhileshwaranand Stavan" an essential
part of your daily prayer.
You should eat pure "Satvik" food. You should refrain from eating non

3. How to chant using the rosary? How do I hold the rosary? Which hand?
You should hold the rosary in your right hand while chanting the Mantra. You
should take rosary in right hand between Ring-Finger and Middle-Finger and
move it using Thumb and Middle-Finger. You should place your hand adjacent

to the heart. The rosary should not touch your leg or ground. Either you should
place your left hand to avoid this, or you may put rosary in Gomukhi (cotton
cloth bag) whilest chanting. Your index finger (fore-finger) should not touch
the rosary. You should never let rosary touch the ground even when you are not
performing Sadhana. It should always be kept wrapped in a clean cloth.
There is a separator bead in every rosary. Basically it is the central bead at
which the thread containing beads is joined/tied together. This is normally
marked by a different color thread on it. You may easily identify the separator
bead. You should start moving the bead from the bead next to separator bead.
You should not start from the separator bead itself. The beads should move
along with the mantra chanting in direction towards you (clockwise direction).
You should move one bead with each chant of complete mantra. In the moving
process, once you reach the separator bead after finishing the bead before the
separator bead, you should overturn the rosary with your right hand, making the
last bead before separator (one you used just now) the first bead after separator.
This is called as completing one complete round of the rosary. And then you
should start chanting again with this bead as the first one.
In some muslim mantras, the rosary should move in direction away from you
(anti-clockwise direction).
Normally, the same Mantra is chanted with all the beads. One rosary should
preferably be used for a particular Mantra only. Only a particular type of rosary
can be used for a particular Mantra.
For maximum benefits, one needs to use a special consecrated rosary which has
been enlivened for the particular mantra for that person.
TOP
4. Some of the beads on my rosary have been damaged/broken. Can I use this
rosary for Sadhana?
It is advisable to take out the broken/damaged beads from the rosary and then
use the rosary. A normal rosary has 108 beads. You may perform additional
mantra chantings using an extra rosary round to maintain the same count.
TOP
5. What should I do if I mispronounce Mantra during chanting. Do I need to
repeat the entire rosary again?

You dont need to repeat the entire rosary-round if you mispronounce once.
Just pronounce twice correctly and proceed further.
TOP
6. How do I know correct pronunciation of word? How do I speak this Mantra?
Correct Pronunciation of Mantra is a basic pre-requisite to obtain success
in Sadhanas. You should always contact Jodhpur Gurudham by telephone to
obtain correct pronunciation of Mantras. A single word might be used in
different ways in different Mantras. So, just obtaining pronunciation of a single
word is not correct. Similarly, it is not possible to check pronunciation on
email. JodhpurGurudham can verify your pronunciation and tell correcting
measures. Audio recordings of some common Mantras has also been put up on
our web site here.
TOP
7. What is Guru Mantra?
The Guru Mantra is the most powerful Matra. It is chanted to invoke Divine
blessings of Revered Sadgurudev. It is || Om Param Tatvaay Naaraayannaay Gurubhyo Namah ||
You should chant the Guru Mantra using the Sfatik rosary. This is a white
crystal rosary which you should have received when you took Guru Diksha.
TOP
8. What happens when I chant Mantra?
When one chants Mantra, the sound vibrations resonate on the rosary beads and
the Yantra (a small copper plate with particular geometrical drawings), and
passes across the universe to the particular deity. Then they gather more power
from the deity and return back to the person.
Actually it is much more complex than this. Chanting Mantra on a plain rosary
will not give one much effect. Each particular bead of rosary needs to be
consecrated and energised. These prayers are done during the auspicious
moments. Moreover, the rosary needs to be enlivened with special Mantras for
the particular person (user). The Yantras and other Sadhana articles are

required to be consecrated and Mantra energised. For maximum benefits, one

should use a special consecrated rosary which has been enlivened for the
particular mantra for that person.
TOP
9. What is the correct way to do sadhana. How to pray? Is there a set way to
perform Guru Sadhana?
There are some very specific rites and rituals ( procedures) which you need to
follow whilest performing Sadhana (worship). You can go through the "Right
Way to do Sadhana" and "Preparing for Sadhana" and other articles in
the Sadhana subsection of our website.
TOP
10. How do I chant mantra?. Should I say it aloud?
In some Sadhanas, you need to chant mantra aloud. However, for
most Sadhanas, you need to chant in softly so that only you can hear it and
nobody near you can hear it. A detailed article on this topic was published in
April 2000 issue of Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan magazine. It is available on
our web site here.
TOP
11. Why cant I start a Sadhana on any day? Isnt one day as good as other?
No. You may start Sadhana only on a specific day at a specific time. Every day
is different, in fact every second is different from others. The Strength of
Divine power of each deity differs across times and days. The Planetary
positions also change every millisecond contributing to a change in optimal
conditions. One should obtain Sadhana at the most auspicious moment to
obtain maximum benefit. The Eclipses are the most auspicious moments to
perform some Sadhanas. Please read Revered Gurudevs book "Kaal Gyaan"
for further information on this topic.
TOP
12. What is the importance of color in Sadhana?

Color has a major significance during Sadhana. Each deity has its own favorite
color. Your robes (i.e. dhoti) and asana should be of the required color. The
cloth sheet used to place the Sadhana articles (Photographs, Yantra, Rosary
etc.) should also be of the required color. Each Sadhana has its own particular
rule about specific color. If no color is specified, then you may perform
Sadhana by placing the Sadhana articles on a Yellow cloth and by wearing a
Yellow dhoti and Guru Chadar/Pitambar (shawl).
TOP
13. Why is direction important for sadhana?
Each Sadhana has to be done by sitting in a specific direction. Different Divine
powers, Gods, Goddesses etc. have abode in different directions. We invoke
them during Sadhana. Every deity is controlled by Mantras and they are
compelled to come when invoked. So, we should be seated in correct direction
to greet them. It is always bad manners to call someone and then sit with your
back towards them!
TOP
14. What is Brahmacharya (celibacy)? Does it mean not even talking with
mother/sister?
Brahmacharya(celibacy) is a state of mind. You should be celibate both in your
mind and by your body. You should not think about such thoughts. Of course,
you can stay together and interact with your mother/sister etc.
TOP
15. What should I wear during the Sadhna?
You should normally wear Yellow (or specific color) Dhoti, Guru
Chadar/Pitambar and sit on a yellow (or specific color) asana (seat). Women
may wear yellow (or specific color) Saree or other comfortable garments and
should wrap the Guru Chadar/Pitambar over the upper part of the body.
However various Sadhnas have specific instructions to use only specific
coloured clothes and asanas.
TOP

16. What is Bhoj Patra? How do I write Yantra on it?

Bhoj Patra is a traditional Indian type of paper. Sometimes, in Sadhana, it is
used to write Yantra. Normally, there is a very elaborate process to mark
Yantra on it and the Yantra has to be energised and consecrated with various
sanctifying Mantras. A full fledged worship of the Yantra Is done. We have
prepared many such Yantras on copper in our Jodhpur Gurudham, and you may
obtain Mantra energised and consecrated Yantra from us.
TOP
17. Can I wash Sadhana articles during Sadhana period ?
If you are performing a multi-day Sadhana (more than 1 day), then you can
wash the Sadhana articles only on the first day. After that, you should not wash
the Sadhana articles on other days.
TOP
18. I start sadhana but fall asleep midway. What should I do?
This happens because you close your eyes while doing Mantra chanting. You
should chant Mantra with open eyes. You can gaze either at the Photograph or
Revered Gurudev, or deity or Yantra or at the flame of the lamp.
TOP
19. Can I perform Sadhana wearing Jeans and T-shirts? What type of clothes
should I wear during sadhana?
No you cannot perform Sadhana wearing Western clothes. If you are a man,
you should wear a dhoti and Guru Chadar/Pitambar(shawl). A description of
both is detailed elsewhere in this faq. You may wear an underwear under dhoti.
If you are a woman, you should can wear any comfortable clothes. Wearing a
saree is preferable. You should wrap Guru Chadar/Pitambar(shawl) around the
upper part of your body.
TOP
20. Can I wear shoes/slippers during Sadhana?

No. You should ALWAYS perform Sadhana barefooted.

You should NEVER enter the Sadhana room with shoes/slippers on.
TOP
21. What should I do if I have the urge to go to bathroom while Mantra chanting
is in progress?
Ideally, you should never break the mantra chanting come what may. But, if
you cant control, then you should leave after completing the current rosary
round. After, that, you need to take a fresh bath, and then restart the Sadhana
from where you left it.
TOP
22. How should I sit during sadhana. Can I sit on a chair ? What is sitting
pose/posture/stance?
There are specific rules for each Sadhana. Some Sadhanas have to be done
standing up and others by sitting. The Traditional Indian Yoga system has
specific poses called Yogic Asanas (Not to be confused with the prayer mat).
Each Sadhana has its own specific sitting pose. Most of the Sadhanas are done
by sitting cross legged.
You should sit upright with straight back in Padmasana, Siddhasana or
Sukhasna. Some Sadhnas have specific Yogic asanas for them.
And, sorry! You cannot perform Sadhana by sitting on chair or lying on bed !
(unless you have a medical problem)
TOP
23. Can I do sadhana on a bed?
No, you cannot perform Sadhana on a bed unless your medical problem
warrants it. You have to follow specific rules for each Sadhana.
TOP
24. Can I do sadhana if someone else is in room?

Since a major prerequisite for performing Sadhana is concentration of mind, so

it might not be possible to perform Sadhana while others are present nearby.
One has to divert ones mind away from everything and direct it only on the
deity and Revered Gurudev. So, it is preferable to be alone in the room to
perform Sadhana. You may perform Sadhana in a temple or riverside if you
cannot find solitude in home.
TOP
25. Should I close my eyes while performing the Sadhana?
If you close your eyes, then there is a chance of falling asleep. You should keep
your eyes open and should do "Traatak" either on Gurudev or Deity or the
flame of the lamp. Some Sadhanas have specific rules on Traatak and you
should follow those rules.
TOP
26. What is Traatak? How do I practice it?
Traatak is a Yogic exercise to improve concentration of mind and willpower.
It involves staring continuously at an object without blinking or closing eyelids.
However, there are some specific rules which one should follow while
performing this exercise, otherwise one may suffer physical damage in eyes or
brain. There are various stages of Traatak, and one should progress gradually
from one stage to another. Please refer to Revered Gurudevs books on
Hypnotism viz. "Practical Hypnotism" , "Secrets of Hypnotism" etc.
The Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan magazine also publishes articles about
Hypnotism and allied sciences.
You may start by performing Traatak on a point or Shakti Chakra. You can also
practice Traatak on the photograph of deity or pujya Gurudev while Mantra
chanting. One should perform Traatak on the face (between eyes and eyes) of
the photograph of deity/Gurudev.
Traatak strengthens eyes and introduces Hypnotism power in eyes. One can get
amazing siddhis, self-hypnotism, confidence and mesmerising power through
Traatak.
The object should be placed in front at a distance of 1.5 feet slightly above the
eye-level (To ensure that eyes open completely).

To perform Point Traatak, draw a circle of 6 inches on a 1ft X 1 ft board. Draw

another circle of 05-1 inch within it. Color the inner circle with green or blue
color. Draw a white point (similar size as a sarson seed) in the center.
After Traatak, the eyes might become moist. Let them. Close the eyes. Relax
them and do not move the retina inside. Leave eyelids and eyes loose.
One should start Flame Traatak only after one has achieved considerable
success in Point Traatak eg. change of color on the point and circle. If you start
directly on the flame, then the body will not be able to adjust and eyes might be
damaged.
Disappearance of photo while performing Traatak on Deity/Gurudev's photo is
a sign of success.
Take care of eyes. Wash them regularly and often. Wash them before going to
sleep and after waking up. In fact make a habit of washing eyes while washing
hands or face. Never use dirty cloth or hands on eyes.
Perform Eye exercises prescribed by doctor. In early morning, look at the sun
with closed eyes.
Protect eyes from Sun, dust, smoke and harsh lights. You may use blue or light
green colored goggles but never use brown colored goggles.
Wash eyes with Trifala water. Pour pure honey or Rose water in eyes after
consultation with a doctor.
Don't watch TV for long duration.
Never perform Traatak on animals. You can do Traatak on plants.

TOP
27. What is Shakti Chakra?
"Shakti Chakra" is a very powerful picture. It is used to Traatak. One can
achieve amazing feats through this exercise. Please refer to Revered
Gurudevs books on Hypnotism viz. "Practical Hypnotism" , "Secrets of
Hypnotism" etc. The Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan magazine also publishes
articles about Hypnotism and allied sciences.
TOP
28. Can I perform Sadhana on someone else' behalf? Can someone else perform
Sadhana on my behalf?
One should perform Sadhanas only after taking Guru Diksha. Any person who
has taken a Guru Diksha can perform Sadhana on behalf of others if they are
not able to do themselves due to ill health etc. by mentioning so in the
"Sankalp".
To make Sankalp, one needs to take water in ones right hand palm saying the
following in any language -

Myself "name" son/daughter/wife of "your father/mother/husband's name" ,

belonging to "your gotra or surname" gotra , disciple of Pujya Gurudev Dr.
Narayan Dutt Shrimaliji am making this pledge by taking Divine blessings and
Diksha from my Pujya Gurudev Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimaliji on "date & time"
at "place name" that I will perform "sadhna name" Sadhana by chanting
"number" rosary rounds for "number" days on behalf of "person name"
son/daughter/wife of "father/mother/husband's name" , belonging to "gotra or
surname" gotra ,resident of "place name" to solve "problem details" problem.
May Pujya Gurudev stay with us all the time and guide and protect us. May all
the benefits of this Sadhana go to "person name".
After, this let the water flow to the ground.
One should make the Shankh mudra for sankalp.
This Sankalp is an agreement between yourself and the divine deity. After
taking Sankalp, you should perform Sadhana for the required number of days at
the same time. There should NOT be any break of even a single day after
taking Sankalp. You need to take Sankalp only on the first day.
To make Shankh Mudra, wrap all the fingers of right hand on the Thumb of
Left hand as a fist. The smallest finger of right hand should be touching the
base of Thumb of Left hand. All four fingers of right hand should wrap on the
left thumb. Then touch Thumb of right hand with the Index (First) Finger of
Left Hand. Keep other fingers of Left hand parallel to Index Finger. All the
fingers of Left hand should join together.
You should mentally pray and meditate on the form of revered Gurudev before
starting the Mantra chanting. You should also mentally take permission from
pujya Gurudev before starting the Mantra chanting and request for His
blessings & Aashirwaad to obtain success.
After the completion of Mantra chanting, you should mentally seek forgiveness
from revered Gurudev for the mistakes (known or unknown) which you might
have committed during Mantra chanting and request for His Aashirvaad and
blessings.
If you feel that you need to go somewhere which might lead to an interruption,
then you should first finish that task, and perform Sadhana with Sankalp later.
In the meantime, you may chant the Mantra given to you by Diksha using the
mala.

One can ask some close relative or someone else (pundit, shastri etc.) to
perform prayers on ones behalf. Sometimes, one is unable to perform Sadhana
oneself due to physical illness etc. However, one should always endeavour to
perform Sadhana oneself. There is no guarantee that the other person will be
sincere and will make full effort. Moreover, there should never be a "middle
man" in ones relationship to God.
In the ancient times the Yogis, Sadhus and Sanyasis used to accomplish
Sadhana and having mastered it they used to help other people. However, the
pundits and "sadhus" in the middle ages (and even now), started to exploit the
ignorance of common man for petty gains. This lead to a downfall of the
knowledge, and slowly the knowledge started getting extinct.Common man
started to lose trust in Sadhanas and started to view it with suspicion. Revered
Gurudev is resurrecting this ancient Indian knowledge, and giving an
opportunity to common man to become independent. One faces many problems
and troubles in life due to malefic planetary combinations, or past karmas, or
black magic etc. Sometimes, one is unable to achieve success in ones plans
due to these reasons. So, one needs the Divine aid at various times in ones life.
So, one should strive to be independent and perform Sadhana oneself. After
achieving success in Sadhanas, you will yourself get tremendous confidence
and will get all round benefit. This will also help you in getting closer to God
and will result in spiritual and material upliftment.

29. What is Anusthaan? What is Sankalp? What is Hawan? What is Tarpan?
What is Maarjan? How is it done?
There are many types of Anusthaan. In Laghu Anusthaan, 24000 Mantra
chantings are done ( eg. 27 rosary rounds in 9 days) and 240 aahutis are offered
in holy Yagya. In Madhyam Anusthaan, 1.25 Lakh Mantra chantings are done
(eg. 33 rosary rounds in 40 days) and 1250 aahutis are offered in holy Yagya.
In Maha Anusthaan, 24 Lakh Mantra chantings are done (66 rosary rounds in 1
year) and One-tenth aahutis are offered in holy Yagya. One may also perform
Anusthaan of 51000 or 5 lakh rosary rounds.
Anusthaan is a concentrated effort. You should try to complete the Anusthaan
in as less number of days as possible for maximum benefit. An Anusthaan is
normally done for completion of some task, or to solve some problem. The
longer you delay the anusthaan, the more will be the delay in achieving results.
Moreover, if you extend it for more time, then there is a chance of making

more mistakes, breaking of celibacy (mental & physical) or some other strict
rule. You should start the anusthaan on a auspicious day. Details of
forthcoming auspicious days of current month are mentioned in the "What
Your Stars Say" page of the Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan magazine, and also
at the Auspicious Moments section at our website.
You should follow following rules during Anusthaan a. Start on the same time everyday. Perform same number of rosary rounds
daily. Perform Anusthaan at a pure, satvik place in a pure, quite environment.
b. Eat pure vegetarian food during Anusthaan & Sadhana period. Try to avoid
onion, garlic etc. Eat food once a day.
c. Maintain complete celibacy (mental & physical) during Anusthaan period. If

you should stop the Sadhana/Anusthaan and restart the entire
Sadhana/Anusthaan again afresh.
d. Perform Guru Poojan and chant one rosary round of Guru Mantra. Then
perform the required daily number of rosary rounds of the concerned Mantra.
Then chant one rosary round of Guru Mantra again. The Ghee/Oil (Depending
on Diety) Deepak should be lighted continuously during the entire Anusthaan
period. Ghee Deepak should be lighted for Anusthaan of Guru Mantra.
e. Mentally meditate on the form of the Diety and Gurudev during all the days
of Anusthaan.
f. Don't cut hairs or nails during the Anusthaan Period. One should also refrain
from shaving.
Normally, before chanting the mantra for Anusthaan/Sadhana, one needs to
make a Sankalp (pledge) by taking water in one right hand palm saying the
following in any language Myself "name" son/daughter/wife of "father/mother/husband's name" ,
belonging to "your gotra or surname" gotra , disciple of Pujya Gurudev Dr.
Narayan Dutt Shrimaliji am making this pledge by taking Divine blessings and
Diksha from my Pujya Gurudev Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimaliji on "date & time"
at "place name" that I will perform "sadhna name" Sadhana by chanting
"number" rosary rounds for "number" days to solve "problem details" problem.
May Pujya Gurudev stay with me all the time and guide and protect me.

After, this let the water flow to the ground.

You should make the Shankh mudra for sankalp.
This Sankalp is an agreement between yourself and the divine deity. After
taking Sankalp, you should perform Sadhana for the required number of days at
the same time. There should NOT be any break of even a single day after
taking Sankalp. You need to take Sankalp only on the first day.
To make Shankh Mudra, wrap all the fingers of right hand on the Thumb of
Left hand as a fist. The smallest finger of right hand should be touching the
base of Thumb of Left hand. All four fingers of right hand should wrap on the
left thumb. Then touch Thumb of right hand with the Index (First) Finger of
Left Hand. Keep other fingers of Left hand parallel to Index Finger. All the
fingers of Left hand should join together.
You also need to perform Hawan (Holy Fire), Tarpan & Maarjan after
completion of Anusthaan. Havan is done for appeasement of Gods (Devataas).
Tarpan is done for offering to & appeasement of "Updevataas" (Gods) and
"Pitras" (Ancestors). Maarjan is done for appeasement of other important
yonis; and to remove impurities and purify oneself. Maarjan also removes bad
effects of Rajogun and Tamogun.
You should offer 12500 (10% of Total Mantra chanting) Aahutis (offerings) in
the holy fire of havan.
You should suffix the deity's mantra (which you chanted 1.25 lakh times) with
the word "Swahaa". With each chanting of the mantra, you should offer Aahuti
in the holy fire. You may do havan in two shifts, if it is not possible for you to
complete it together. The item to be offered for Aahuti is different for each
Sadhana/Mantra/Deity and purpose.
There are specific rituals for performing Havan/Yagya. Detailed procedure of
doing Havan/Yagya (Holy Fire ritual) is described in book Sarva Siddhi
Pradayak Yagya Vidhan authored by Param Pujaniya Gurudev.
Normally, you may use "mango plant" wood sticks in the Yagya. However
different types of woods are used in different Sadhanas. You can place a
camphor between dry sticks and then light it. You should preferably use a
"Havan Kund" for performing havan. Different kinds of Hawan Kunds are
prescribed for different Sadhanas, purposes and Deities. It should be made of
copper. If copper is not available, then you may use any other pure metal

container. For general purposes, you should use a squarish shape havan kund.
The size of Havankund should be 9" X 9" X 9" or 15" X 15" X 15" .
You should perform Guru Poojan before performing Havan. You should also
chant at least 4 rosary rounds of Guru Mantra. Then, you should perform
Panchopchaar poojan (worship) of the Sadhana Yantra & photo of deity with
Snaan( bathe), Tilak (mark on forehead), Pushp (flowers), Dhoop (incense),
deep (light) etc.
Tarpan should be done for 1250 (10% of Hawan) mantra chantings. You should
suffix the deity's mantra (which you chanted 1.25 lakh times) with the word
"Tarpayaami". With each chanting of the mantra, you should offer a mixture of
milk & water on either Yantra or Idol.
Maarjam should be done for 125 (10% of Tarpan) mantra chantings. You
should suffix the deity's mantra (which you chanted 1.25 lakh times) with the
word "Maarjyaami". With each chanting of the mantra, you should offer a
mixture of milk & water on either Yantra or Idol.
It is recommended to perform Havan, Tarpan & Maarjan after completion of
Anusthaan. However, if, you are unable to perform Havan for any reason then
you may chant an additional 125 malas (rosary rounds) of the deity's mantra as
a substitute by taking a sankalp.
You should mention in the sankalp that - "I am chanting 125 rosary rounds of
the mantra as the Havan Poornaahuti." You should perform Guru Poojan and
chant 4 rosary rounds of Guru Mantra before starting these 125 rosary rounds.
After completion of 125 rosary rounds or havan/yagya, you should do the
following :
a. Chant one rosary round of Guru Mantra
b. Mentally seek forgiveness from revered Gurudev for the mistakes (known or
unknown) which you might have committed during Mantra chanting and
request for His Aashirvaad and blessings.
Similarly for Tarpan, you may chant additional 12 rosary rounds & for Maarjan
additional 3 rosary rounds.
You should mentally pray and meditate on the form of revered Gurudev before
starting the Mantra chanting. You should also mentally take permission from

pujya Gurudev before starting the Mantra chanting and request for His
blessings & Aashirwaad to obtain success.
After the completion of Mantra chanting, you should mentally seek forgiveness
from revered Gurudev for the mistakes (known or unknown) which you might
have committed during Mantra chanting and request for His Aashirvaad and
blessings.
If you are a woman, you should stop the Anusthaan/Sadhana during the
monthly periods, and restart it after taking bath on completion of periods (after
5 days).
If you feel that you need to go somewhere which might lead to an interruption,
then you should first finish that task, and perform Anushtaan with Sankalp
later. In the meantime, you may chant the Mantra given to you by Diksha using
the mala.

etc. You need to mix the required article (kumkum/chandan/etc.) with water to
make a thin paste and then mark with it. Depending on the Sadhana rules, you
might need to make a mark (do Tilak) either on Yantra , Gutika or other
Sadhana articles. You might also need to make a mark on the forehead of the
deity / Revered Gurudevs photograph. Or, you might have to make it on your
own forehead. A major Kundalini Chakra (Energy Center) is present on the
forehead and performing a "Tilak" energises it.

Obstacles For a Sadhak

It is necessary for a new initiate in the world of Sadhanas not to be frustrated or lose
hope by the initial failures. This is a wonderful article for the new Sadhaks which they
shall find really heartening and encouraging.
All Sadhanas and spiritual practices have a particular sequence and process. Till all
rules are not followed success in Sadhanas remains doubtful. Sometimes success
remains elusive to a Sadhak even after hard work. This could be due to the bad
Karmas of one's past lives,
Sometimes we also see evil and corrupt individuals earning respect, fame and wealth
in life. On the other hand those devoted to the Lord are seen suffering from pain and
sorrow. Following are some interesting facts reading which a person could learn low
to neutralise past bad Karmas and earn success in Sadhanas.

1. Health
The biggest obstacle to success in any field is bad health. A person can successfully
accomplish Sadhanas only when he is perfectly healthy and free from diseases. It is
almost impossible to attain to success in Sadhanas through the medium of an
unhealthy body. Hence one should be punctual in sleeping, rising, eating etc so that
the body could be always fit. Natural healthy food, regular exercise and Yogic
postures or Asans go a long way in keeping the body healthy.

2. Food
The second obstacle is unhygienic food that not only corrupts the health rather also
gives rise to worry and mental disturbance. This is why our ancient texts stress so
much on the purity of the food one consumes. There is a saying in the texts - Jaisa
Ann Vaisa Mann!
The food one eats determines the purity of one's thoughts. The type of food that one
consumes definitely has an effect on one's thoughts. mind, actions. There are said to
be three categories of food according to the ancient texts - First category consists of
sour, spicy, hot food which is called Raajasi. The second category consists of stale
food, leftovers, meat and wine called Taamsik food. The third category consists of
food obtained through pure means, which is neither too spicy nor too hot. It is
called Saatvik. It is this type of food that one should eat.

Eating Taamsik and Raajsik food leads to lust, anger, greed, infatuation, arrogance
and jealousy. It leads to loss of physical and mental health. Thus a Sadhak could
deviate from path of Sadhanas. So one should eat pure and less food.

3. Doubts
The third obstacle on the path of Sadhanas is doubt. When the Guru directs a new
person on the path of Sadhanas success is not attained at the very first go.
For example suppose a Sadhak is engaged in an eleven day Sadhana and even by the
fourth or fifth day he has no divine experience, then he might be plagued by doubts.
Suppose one is doing a Lakshmi Sadhana then during the period of Sadhana the
expenses might shoot up. But if one persists and completes the Sadhana then without
doubt the Goddess of wealth is pleased and blesses one with financial success. One's
stars might have planned a poverty ridden life for the individual and accomplishing
Sadhana for wealth would mean fighting against Nature. This struggle could result in
a sudden rise in spendings in the beginning. And naturally some Sadhaks might start
to doubt the efficacy of the Mantra and the Sadhanas. They might become doubtful
whether Gods and Goddesses are actually there or they would ever appear before
them. There might be doubts whether t he Sadhana is correct or the Yantra being used
is actually Mantra energised. They start to think that if the Sadhana or Mantra were
efficacious then the result would have manifested.Because success has not accrued
there must be something wrong with the Sadhana or maybe the Guru has guided us
wrong. Doubts start to assail their minds and as a result the Sadhak gives up the
Sadhana even before he begins it. And even if they do accomplish the Sadhana they
do it filled with doubts due to which they are not able to succeed.
Lord Krishna has said in Bhagwat Gita Ashraddhyaa Hutam Dattam Tapastaptam Kritam Cha Yat. Asadityuchyate Paarth
Na Cha Tatpretya No Iha.
i.e. Havan or Yagna, charity, Tapa and Sadhanas accomplished without faith and
devotion are but useless and they bring no rewards.
Devotion and faith are the biggest assets of a Sadhak. He should have faith in the
Guru, in the Mantra, Yantra, gods, goddesses and deities. A real Sadhak should
accomplish all Sadhanas determinedly like Lord Buddha.
Ihaasane Shushkayatu Me Shareeram Tvagasthimaansaam Pralayanch Yaatu.
Apraapya Bodham Bahukalp Durlabham Nevaasnaat Kaaymanashchlishyate.

i.e. Lord Buddha had pledged when doing Tapa - My body might perish, my skin
might shrivel and the bones might crumble but I will not get up from this Sadhana seat
till I have had total realisation.
A Sadhak should have such a determination so that he could make actual progress in
his Sadhanas. More he progresses more he realises that Sadhanas are not imaginary
but real.

4. Sadguru
Sadguru does not mean some human being. Sadguru is an entity who can bestow real
knowledge, who can make one rise high in life, who can bestow totality in life, who
can direct one to right path.
One needs to reflect on these facts because today there are very few real, experienced
and realised Sadgurus. There is no dearth of people claiming to be Gurus. In every
street you will find a Guru. But most of them are just arrogant individuals who are
only after wealth, fame and physical pleasures. Without having accomplished any
Sadhanas they claim to be Yogis and some even call themselves God. In such a crowd
of pseudo Gurus it becomes very difficult for a common man to find and choose a real
master.
It is the greatest fortune for a disciple to find a Sadguru in his life. A Guru is needed
in life to guide the Sadhak onto the path of Sadhanas, to help him overcome obstacles
on the path of Sadhanas and to instil divine energy into him in order to overcome
problems. The Yogis who are expert in the science of Tantra state that through Diksha
obtained from a Guru a Sadhak gains divinity and all his sins are absolved.
Changing Gurus frequently also leads to problems in Sadhanas. Although all
Sadhanas lead to the same goal yet the paths are different. Today you might
start Prannayam and tomorrow on advice of some other person you could take
to Hatth Yoga. Third day you might even give up Yoga and start chanting some
Mantra and fourth day you might take to listening to divine discourses. Wandering
from one path to another or changing Gurus cannot help one make progress.
Lord Krishna has said in Gita Tad Viddhi Prannipaaten Pariprashnen Sevayaa. Upadekshyanti Te Gyaanam
Gyaaninas-tatvadarshin.
i.e. To gain real knowledge go to those who have realised Supreme Element. By
bowing before such Yogis, by serving them selflessly, by asking them questions

sincerely one can learn a lot. These are means to please them and then they become
willing to impart true knowledge.But this knowledge can be gained only from a
Sadguru.

5. Fame
One big obstacle for a Sadhak on the path of spiritualism is fame. When people living
around realise that a Sadhak has successfully accomplished a particular Sadhana they
become devoted towards him. They start to give him regard through their words and
gestures. The Sadhak too is but a human being and he too likes to be respected and
honoured. When he gets these from the society he starts to crave for more and more.
As a result he forgets his aim of worshipping the Supreme and joins the race of
earning more fame and name. This results in loss of Sadhana power. He loses his
innocence, humility and becomes arrogant. Purity of mind and heart is lost and one is
filled with anger and false pride. So a Sadhak should never reveal his powers to the
society. One must rise high in the spiritual world and not in the material world. This is
the real way to progress.

6. Celibacy
Another obstacle on path of spiritualism is sex. Until there is enough energy in
Sadhak's body he cannot succeed in Sadhanas. One needs power of the physical body,
mind, senses and soul and this energy is conserved and boosted
through Brahmacharya or celibacy. Hence a Sadhak should not indulge in excess sex.
He should shun negative company and not eat food that could delude the senses and
lead to loss of celibacy.
Even the married Sadhaks should observe celibacy as much as they could, to preserve
vital energy. More one restrains oneself more the energy that builds up and faster one
succeeds in Sadhanas.
Lord Hanuman remained a celibate throughout life and as a result he had immense
physical strength. He was brave, powerful and very spiritual. He was most devoted to
the Lord. He possessed all knowledge and all divine powers called Siddhis. It was due
to these powers that he could assume a giant form or become smaller than even a fly.
When crossing the ocean on his way to Lanka he assumed a huge form and jumped
over the ocean. And when entering Lanka in order to avoid being detected he assumed
a form smaller than a fly.
Bheeshma observed celibacy throughout life and as a result he was blessed with the
power that death would not come to him till he so desired. Lord Parshuram who was

invincible and who had defeated everyone on earth had to face defeat after a battle of
23 days with Bheeshma. This was the result of the celibate life Bheeshma led.

7. Wishes
The Sadhak who does not become free of material wishes has to face many obstacles
on the path of Sadhanas. Wishing and desiring leads to anger, infatuation and greed
and as a result the Sadhak loses his balance of mind. Hence once should always keep
the mind free of desires.

8. Criticising others
Finding faults in others is the biggest obstacle for a Sadhak. A Sadhak should not
waste his time in such activities and not worry what others are doing. The Sadhak
should always remain concentrated in his own Sadhanas so that there is no time left
for such useless activities.
Those who fall into habit of criticising others cannot progress well in Sadhanas, for
they are wasting a lot of their thought power in a useless exercise. One should always
remember the words of the great saint Kabeer Buraa Jo Dekhan Mein Chalaa, Buraa Na Miliyaa Koy. Jo Dil Khojaa Aapanaa,
Mujhasaa Buraa Na Koy.
i.e. When I started to look for bad qualities in others I ultimately realised that there is
no more bad person than me.
Remember that if you point one finger at others in accusation three fingers shall be
pointing towards you. What I mean to say is that before accusing others even once
evaluate your own self at least thrice. One should look at one's own thoughts and try
to remove one's faults instead of finding the same in others.

JUST TRY AND SEE

Success In Business
To be a successful and rich business magnate has always been your dream yet in spite
of devoted and honest efforts the goal remains as distant as the horizon. More you run
towards it the farther it seems.
Whatever your problem may be - lack of finance, cutthroat competition or dishonest
partners-just try this marvellous ritual and see the result for yourself.
Early morning take a bath and get into clean clothes. Sit in the worship place. In a
plate place Uttishtthaa. Offer vermilion and rice grains on it. Light a ghee lamp. Keep
your eyes fixed on Uttishtthaa and chant the following Mantra continuously for 25
minutes.
|| Om Hleem Poornna Saafalyam Om Phat Kuru Kuru ||
Do this regularly for 11 days at the same time. After that leave Uttishtthaa in a temple.

Health Of Kids
Worried on this account? Is frequent fever, cold or some other persistent ailment
proving to be a bane for the health of your child? If yes, then don't waste any time;
just try out the following quick-acting remedy.
In a plate spread some red flowers. On them place a Gopal Dand. Offer vermilion and
rice grains on the Dand and light a ghee lamp. take water in your right palm and
pledge that you are accomplishing this Sadhana for the health of your child (speak
his/her name). Chant the following Mantra 25 times.
|| Om Soum Manovaanchhitam Santaan Sukham Siddhaye Om ||
Repeat for 11 days. On the 12th day throw the dand in a river.

Windfall Gains
Wealth is the fuel of life and to earn it one tries every means. But many times even
sincere efforts fail to help one win the favour of the Goddess of Wealth. If interested
in sudden, legal gains(e.g. lottery or shares) this is the ritual for you.

On a Wednesday place a picture of Laxmi before yourself and pray to the Goddess.
Then chant 11 rounds of this mantra with Kamalgatta rosary.
|| Om Hreem Hreem Ayeim Shreem Shreem Om ||
Do this for 9 days. If possible continue chanting one round daily even afterwards. If
tried with full faith amazing results accrue and one gains money from unexpected
sources.

Enemy Trouble And You

Life is nothing but a confluence of good and bad. And when one's stars are
unfavourable, enemities spring up, enemy minds start working overtime, problems are
created in one's life and rumours are spread with an aim to mar one's reputation.
Retailiation could get one into further trouble; but there is a way out that is easy as
well as effective. To Pacify enemies and adversaries, light a holy fire and then make
oblations of a mixture of black pepper seeds, yellow mustard seeds and black
sesamum seeds, chanting the following Mantra. Do this for 25 minutes.
|| Om Bham Bheiravaay Vijayam Dehi Om Phat ||
And soon enough you shall feel all opposition whittling down. No Sadhana article is
needed in this ritual.

Don't Give Up Hope

There are goals, to achieve which one puts at stake everything one has. Yet in spite of
the best efforts one fails to make it. And then despair and frustation set in leaving one
a physical and mental wreck. Besides mental peace one also loses one's social
standing and respect and financial security. Failure can be prevented and even a
seemingly lost situation, brought under control through this marvellous ritual. Place
a Sarva Kaarya Siddhi Gutika in a plate. Sit before it and chant the following Mantra
103 times.
|| Om Hleem Kaarya Siddhim Hleem Om Phat ||
Repeat for 11, consecutive days. After the completion of the ritual throw the Gutika in
a river or pond. This shall ensure success in any and every venture you undertake.
This is a remarkable ritual that can help students, businessmen, family man, actors and
politicians-people from every walk of life.

Past Life
The cause of all fortunes and misfortunes that one has in the present can be traced not
just to past deeds but even to past lives. When a human is born he brings with him
traits or Sanskars from previous lives, and added to the traits of his parents, these play
a vital role in moulding his personality. No wonder a human so often feels helpless
when it comes to giving a certain desired direction to his life.
With the karmas of past lives steering the course of events in the present life most of
his wishes are frustrated - he is not able to get the right environment, he is not able to
form deep bonds with those for whom he cares and he is not able to live life as he
wishes to. As frustration slowly sets in he gives up all fight against these odds and
takes to doing nothing much except bitterly cursing his fate.
Hopelessness follows failure in the case of most humans, yet this state is even more
deplorable then losing the game every time, for no sooner does one give up the fight
one is reduced to a virtual vegetable.
If only man today had the necessary clairvoyance it would become clear to him that
the root cause of his misfortunes lies not in his present life or even his upbringing. If
he had the power to look into past lives he would have been illuminated as to why his
best friend suddenly turned into a bitter enemy, why his own wife was totally
uncooperative or why his son was so recalcitrant.
To a common man these might be the outcome of some flaw in one's personality, yet a
Sadhak's gaze which can peer deeper and well into previous births would easily
pinpoint the real cause. You had ditched a close friend in a past incarnation and now
he's back to settle score. You were unfaithful to your wife and she's back as a callous
spouse in this life to level the score. Your son in a past life was a neighbour whom
you owed a large sum, and now in this life he's your son, completely out of your
control and preying on your wealth by being outrageously extravagent.
A very famous law of Physics states - For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction. This in fact is a universal law and past Karmic debts - both good and bad are passed on from one birth to the next till they are fully cleared. That's why you can
feel fate being against you one moment and smiling the next.
But most of this Karmic play remains at the subconscious level and hence one remains
blissfully ignorant of it. A Sadhak however strives to know about all his pending debts
especially the bad ones and tries to repay them so that his future life could be free of
tensions, worries and troubles. To be able to do so however one has to gain the
paranormal ability to look back into time, a capability which can flower only through

the means of a special method. And once this faculty is activated all events related to
one's past births start to drift past one's eyes in splendid montage. Thus one can plan
one's future keeping in mind the almost unchangeable course of one's life determined
by one's past karmas.
Another interesting aspect of looking into past lives can be identifying what roles the
relations in one's present life had to play in the previous births. One can also know
beforehand which new acquaintances one is going to make in the future and having
established the past links with them once can relate accordingly with them. Thus once
could be able to form deeper ties with friends and relatives and even win over one's
adversaries. There have been many cases when Sadhaks gained a lot by relating to
relatives of past lives.
Following is a remarkable Sadhana to establish this subtle link, which never fails if
tried sincerely and correctly. On any Thursday at night have a bath and get into clean
clothes. Sit on a yellow mat facing North. On a wooden seat covered with a yellow
cloth place a copperplate. In it place the Kundalini Yantra and worship it by offering
vermilion, rice grains and flowers on it. Next light a ghee lamp and fixing your gaze
on the flame chant 21 rounds of the following Mantra with a Manas Siddhi rosary.
|| Kleem Klom Hreem Hrom Ksham Phat ||
Do this daily till the next Thursday. If one's gaze on the flame is intent and Mantra
chanting continuous, within first two or three days one is able to have a vision of one's
past life. Use the information obtained thus with care and certainly not to harm
anyone's interests. Wrong use shall definitely lead to waning of this power.
On completion of Sadhana next morning go and throw the Yantra in a river or pond.
The rosary must be put around one's neck.
