Dhoomavati Sadhana - Overcome all opposition

Anyone who tries to hinder your progress in life is an enemy. 

Much of one's energy and time is wasted in dealing with such adversaries. 

But there is a powerful Goddess whose divine grace can help one neutralise all opposition in without doing much!

The ancient text state that enemies can manifest in at least nine ways in one's life and make life truly difficult. Which are these nine foes?

1. Those about whom one is sure that he or she is an avowed enemy.
2. The hidden enemies about whom one is blissfully oblivious.
3. Those who show that they are friends but might strike any time when one least expects them to. This could be a friend or even one's business or colleague.
4. Debts too are counted as enemies as they stall one's progress and cast a shadow over one's progress and cast shadow over one's future.
5. Poverty is the worst of all enemies because it prevents one from giving shape to one's plans. One might be intelligent, talented and skillful but it all might sum to nothing in absence of adequate resources.
6. Disease is another foe that terribly affects the course of one's life. It not just makes one weak but also robs one of all enthusiasm.
7. An uncooperative and un-understanding life partner is the worst bane of life. The unfavourable behaviour of one's life partner can just leave one struggling to survive in the society and family.
8. Disobedient children too can make life virtual hell especially when they choose to take to the wrong path in life.
9. Misfortune or unlucky stars are the worst enemies and can deny one all that one deserves in life.

The presence of even one of the above can make your life stink and stagnate. The ancient texts while enumerating these enemies have also suggested powerful means to remedy them. Can this truly be done?

When we talk of overcoming all opposition we do not mean destroying anyone. The aim rather is to instill a divine power, a strength, a determination, a force into your persona so that you could face all challenges without flinching. The aim is to make your enemies tremble with fear when they think of you, make your partners shirk from trying any dishonest ways and your family members to respect you and listen to your words of guidance.

There are several Sadhana's for overcoming enemies in life but the most potent is the Sadhana of Goddess Dhumavati. Because the powerful deity not just takes care of enemies in human form but also the threat of disease, poverty, debts, loss of job and ill fate.

This is truly amazing Sadhana which should be tried on any Thursday of the dark fortnight. In the night after 10pm have a bath a wear clean red clothes. Make a mark with vermilion on the forehead. Sit on a red mat facing South. Cover a wooden seat with red cloth. Bath the Dhoomavati Yantra with water and wipe it dry. Make a mark on it with vermilion and rice grains, flowers on the picture of the Guru and chant one round of Guru Mantra.

Then take water in the right palm and speak out thus - I (speak your name) am trying this Sadhana for riddance from all enemies.

If you have a particular problem speak it out. Then let the water flow to the floor. The chant eleven rounds of following Mantra with red crystal rosary.

Dhoom Dhoom Dhoomavati Thah Thah

After the Sadhana chant one more round of Guru Mantra and pray to the Guru to bless you. After Sadhana drop the Yantra and rosary in a river or pond.

New Year Sadhana - HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hearing these words of greetings one is filled with a feeling of newness and life seems standing at another milestone, ready to fly off to a new start. The word “new” denotes change, something novel, something different and with it life braces itself for a transformation.

On the first day of the New Year everyone wishes for a good start, a good beginning so that whole year passes inconstant progress and success.

This day is one of deep contemplation. Looking back one sees the previous year filled with its sad and happy, sweet and sour memories and turning one’s eyes to the year lying ahead one beholds a fresh clean land in the horizon ready to be sown with the seeds of success.

Every person waits for 12 long months for this golden day to dawn, and the morning on which one hears the air ringing with the sweet greeting of Happy New Year, one knows that the day is here at last. Then one is filled with joy and enthusiasm to make a new start in life, to make new resolutions and embark on new start in life new projects.

Life is undoubtedly a path full of challenges, and one who faces these challenges fearlessly comes out on the top as the winner. No one is born with a winner’s streak in him. This spirit has to be developed through hard work and dedication. A mother is responsible for a child’s growth for it is she who introduces him to good or bad habits. Similarly we ourselves are responsible for the states we are in.

If we develop bad habits we are sure to suffer and life then seems miserable. But if a person is hard working, sincere and true to himself he is sure to progress in life.

The New year presents a unique opportunity to instill a novelty, a change into one’s life. The first day of New Year is in fact very auspicious and it matters a lot how you spend if. You may go to a bar or a club and spend the New Year eve dancing, drinking and merry-making. But such escapades are not at all a source of true joy, for true joy is generated from within, for true joy is attained by tasting success in life.

In fact spending these auspicious moments thus is wasting a golden opportunity to transform your life.

The early hours of New Year day presents such sacred, auspicious moments when you can develop the power to concentrate your will, which shall then help you throughout the year to face all adversities fearlessly. And the best way to develop such power is to accomplish some Sadhana.

“Nav Varsh Unnati Prayog” is one such Sadhana practice through which you can instill totality into your life. By devoting only an hour or so in the early morning of the New Year day, you can instill all the 365 days of the year with joy, enthusiasm and uniqueness, thus assuring success in all spheres of life. If you can’t do it on New Year day, you can try it on any day of Jan 2009.

Thus one can not only rise in material life but also attain spiritual accomplishments.

The special feature of this Sadhana practice is that it can be accomplished on New Year day of any calendar i.e. Christian, Vikram, Shaka or any other era. In fact for a person his birthday is also the start of a new year of his life. Hence this Sadhana can be accomplished even on one’s birthday.

The ancient sages used to spend the early hours of the New Year day, according to their date systems, engrossed in special Sadhanas to generate divine powers and concentrate them. These powers then they used throughout the year to accomplish other Sadhanas with zeal and enthusiasm. The time when the first rays of the sun appear on the horizon is said to be the best for this Sadhana.

SADHANA PROCEDURE

It’s better to perform this Sadhana with the whole family for the good of all the members in the year ahead. Get up before the sun rise and take a bath. Wear fresh yellow clothes. The following articles should be kept ready beforehand – A copper tumbler filled with water, unbroken rice grains, vermillion, coconut, incense, a lamp, ghee, fruit, flowers, sweet and itra (natural perfume.)

Be seated with a peaceful mind on a worship-mat and before yourself place the picture of the Guru and a Treilokya Varsheshwar Yantra. Light incense sticks and the lamp filled with pure ghee. Put a mark of vermilion on both and offer flower, fruit and sweets. Place the coconut on a tumbler filled with water. Meditate upon the form of the Guru and then chant 5 rounds of the following Mantra with a Rock Crystal rosary (Sfatik).

OM HREEM AYEIM SHREEM PURNNA NAV VARSHA DHAN DHAANYA SAMRIDDHI PURNNATVA DEHI DEHI NAMAH.

After the completion of the chanting offer the Yantra and rosary in the feet of some God in a temple or disperse them in a river.

Through this Sadhana the whole year shall be spent filled with joy and success. You shall acquire all attainments of a happy life like good health, wealth, prosperity and good fortune.

May this year prove to be a turning phase of your life and achieve joy, good luck and constant progress। Once again wishing you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lord Hanuman's Grace On A Village

THE POWER OF HANUMAN TANTRA SADHANA

There was a small village in coastal Andhra (one of the state in India) where a strange thing happened few years back. Everything was fine and cool before the advent of the deadly epidemic. All means had failed to put a check on the strange epidemic which had sent almost half the village to the other world since it had struck some three months back. Children were the easiest prey but adults too succumbed just as easily once it had them in its destiny.

Strangely neighbouring villages seemed immune to the queer malady that had checkmated even the best medical succour. Much frustrated and angry the village folk had barred entry to all doctors, and it was surprising to see them welcome the young Sanyaasi so readily.

But on second thoughts it did not appear quite as odd, for an empyrean effulgence radiated from the spiritual saint's face. The hypnotic looks had them dumbstruck and when he politely asked for permission to stay there, the village headman lost no time in saying yes. "But" he added, "our village has been plagued by a deadly disease. So for your own good suggest that you make the Hanuman Temple on the outskirts your home."

A youth led the ascetic to the ancient shrine of Hanuman Temple. As soon as he was there the Sanyaasi lit a holy fire and was soon immersed in a ritual. The youth stood there motionless for about an hour listening to the Vedic incantations and then returned home with a new spark of hope ignited in his heart that there would be no further deaths in the village.

Yes he did not convey his hope to anybody. His own kid was in jaws of death and having tended to it he went to sleep. Cries of joy woke him up in the morning. It was his wife dancing with the child held high above the head. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes he looked at his son whose pale face had gained a glow of health overnight. He simply could not believe his eyes. "Baba" cried the lad, "Hanumanji gave me Darshan. He said soon I would be well and playing again"

Tears of joy ran down the man's face and suddenly he recalled Sanyaasi who was staying at the temple. "It sure is his work," he said to himself as he rushed out of his home. Outside the whole village seemed to be on streets. Everybody's face was lit with joy and the news was the same everywhere he went. The ill were recuperating fast and the shadow of death which loomed over them till the very last day was receding.

As he related his son's divine experience and his opinion about the Sanyaasi, the air was rent with the chants of "Jai Hanuman". Soon a procession was on its way to the temple. There they found him deep in meditation. His dark long tresses hung loose over his shoulders as he sat calmly in the lotus position. A divine aura seemed to surround his entire form. Quietly the village folk sat down awaiting his return to the conscious state.

It was almost mid day when he finally opened his eyes, yet in his divine presence one felt as if only a few moments had passed. Even before anyone could begin the thanksgiving he spoke, "Your village is safe now. With Gurudev Paramhans Swami Nikhileshwarand's grace I was able to propitiate Lord Hanuman and he blessed to ever protect this place in the future."

The youth who had guided the Yogi to the temple was much influenced by the power of Sadhanas and he requested the Sadhu to reveal the ritual to him, which the kind Yogi readily did.

A simple yet quite as effective form that Powerful Tantra Sadhana is being revealed here. It must be started only on a Tuesday after 10 pm. Have a bath and get into red robes. Cover a wooden seat with cloth. On it sprinkle some vermilion. In the centre place Hanuman Yantra (हनुमान यंत्र). Sit on a red mat in Veerasan, i.e. as Muslims sit for prayers, facing South. Pray to the Guru for success. Light a ghee lamp. Bath the Yantra with water. Wipe it dry and put a mark of vermilion on it. Put a similar mark on your forehead. Offer a red flower and fruit on the Yantra. Next with a Red Coral rosary (लाल मूंगा माला) chant 21 rounds of this Mantra.

Om Namo Bhagawate Anjaneyaay Mahaabalaay Hanumate Namah

॥ ॐ नमो भगवते आंजनेयाय महाबलाय हनुमते नमः ॥

After Sadhana go to sleep at the very spot. Do this daily for 11 days. Eat the fruit offered yourself. This Sadhana wins the grace of the Lord for the Sadhak and his family members. Once concluded successfully the Lord protects one from all dangers, diseases and misfortune in the future. It is necessary to maintain celibacy during these 11 days.

Let's transform our lives! - Mannibhadra Sadhana

Success is not attained in life by just taking birth. For progress in life and for achieving totality one needs to be in contact with a great soul who can bestow totality in life. Paaras (philosopher's stone) converts every metal that comes in its contact into gold. If we wish to make life brilliant and shining like gold then we shall have to pledge today to work for transformation of our lives. We have to assimilate within, the divine knowledge given by revered Sadgurudev and through Sadhanas we have to make life successful and total.

Dear disciples,
Dear I call those who are linked to my soul and are quickly progressing on the path shown to them by me. They are filled with enthusiasm, joy and a determination to do something great in life. There is nothing in fact that they cannot accomplish.

All of you, be you a reader of the magazine, a Sadhak or a disciple, if you have obeyed me, if you have accomplished a Sadhana gifted to you by me then you sure have accomplished a great task. You have already taken the first step towards becoming a great ocean of knowledge. An ocean hides within its depths great treasures and precious gems and pearls.

I am your creator. You are all in my heart and my lips whisper your names fondly. When seen from the shore the ocean appears very ordinary. But once one dives into it, one realises that there is great treasure in its depths. The magazine appears every week so that your treasure could go on expanding and you could gather new and more precious pearls from it.

I feel proud of you that you are are ready to transform your lives and now you stand at the juncture where you can just step forward and have all that you wish for. And for all of you are moving towards this very goal.

All of you are with me for the past many lives because a soul is never separated from Supreme. Just as old and worn out clothes are discarded and thrown away and new clothes are worn over the same body, similarly through the process of death and birth a new body is gained although the soul remains the same. I am related to you spiritually.

You well know that life is one in which every moment something new happens. But for newness it is necessary for you to experience the fragrance emanating from my soul and assimilate the fragrance in your own soul. When this happens you shall never feel weak, cowardly or helpless in life.

I am trying to tell you, I am warning you not to become lifeless. Just as standing water stagnates and start to stink, similarly your life is stagnating. Your life is restricted to the limit of society, caste and nation. Everyone around is filled with jealousy and poison of hatred and doubt. Everyone is fighting with somebody and you too could be crushed in one such fight. Just being born and dying one day is not life. Life means enthusiasm, vigour and high spirit. This is what I am trying to instill into you each moment and every second.

With the fragrance of my knowledge and my consciousness I am instilling into you the capability and determination to face all adversities with a spirit of challenge.

You can do this because you are linked to the source of divine fragrance, to the ocean of Sadhanas, to the source of divine consciousness. I am calling out to all those who are a part of my heart and soul and who are ready to do anything that I tell them. I will not allow their lives to be incomplete. I won't allow you to wonder about aimlessly.

I shall lead you onto the the right path and tell you how to make life beautiful and wonderful. I want you to become bright like sun so that you could banish darkness from the lives of millions, so that you could become a guiding torch for the society.

Who shall make you understand all this ? Who shall show you the right path?

Only a Sadguru can lead you onto the right path. Others can only make on waver from the right path. You should know well that Guru is not a mass of flesh and blood.

Guru is the ocean of knowledge which can introduce you to the power of transformation. The power is within you which you are not able to see. The darkness within is not allowing you to know your own powers.

It is to remove darkness with that the light of Guru Sadhana has been gifted to you by me. In this light you can easily identify your powers.

Sadhana is the light which can illuminate your whole life. Sadhana is the flower which can make your life joyous with its fragrance. Sadhana is the weapon with which one can emerge victorious in every sphere of life and transform one's life completely.

This is why I am presenting to you an invincible weapon in the form of Sadhana through which you can overcome all adverse circumstances and transform your life completely. Every Sadhak remains eager to accomplish this Sadhana and remains waiting for moments when this Sadhana could be successfully accomplished.

This Sadhana is accomplished on the birthday of the Sadguru i.e 21st of April which presents very auspicious moments when new flowers blossom and when a new year starts for the Sadhak.

In these moments the whole life can be transformed. In these very moments this very powerful Sadhana called Mannibhadra Prayog is accomplished which through its divinity can make life more joyous and spiritual.

Mannibhadra Sadhana overflows with the energy of transforming life whose essence is meant to be assimilated in one's heart, body and soul. It is only then that one can be free of darkness of ignorance. I wish to put an end to your sins through this Sadhana and after that shall start the process of new creation.

Sadhana Process

One needs a Mannibhadra Yantra and Navmanni rosary for the Sadhana. Early in the morning get up and seated on the bed itself join both palms and pray to Gurudev and seek his blessings for success in Mannibhadra Prayog which you intend to accomplish later in the day. Then get up and have a bath. Wear yellow clothes and cover yourself with Guru Peetambar.

Then sit on a yellow mat facing East. In a plate draw a swastik with vermilion and on it place a Yantra. On the Yantra place the rosary and on both offer flowers, rice grains, incense and light a ghee lamp.

After the worship chant seven rounds of the following Mantra with Navmanni rosary.

Om Mannibhadraay Navsrityei Om Namah

After the Mantra chanting replace the rosary on the Yantra and having offered flowers on the Yantra pray to the Guru for transforming your life and blessing with wealth, prosperity, benefits from the state side, health and mental peace.

Do this Sadhana early morning daily for three days

After three days tie the Yantra and rosary in a yellow cloth and drop the bundle in a river or pond.

The Sadhana is very simple and free of complex worship procedures but it is very powerful indeed.

It might seem to be a very small ritual but it is instilled with amazing powers that can make the whole life of the Sadhak successful and brilliant.

Just by sitting in the holy feet of the Guru all divine powers can be gained. You might think that this is a very easy thing to do. But it is not so simple as it sounds. For this one has to go against one's beliefs and has to become ego less. Just by saying I am ego less won't make you humble. The process of becoming ego less means obeying each command of the Guru.

NARSIMHA TANTRA SADHANA

Human psyche is well equipped to encounter the worst of catastrophes and emerge unscathed or battle scarred, yet triumphant in them. Thrown into a perilous situation suddenly, brings to the surface the most strong points in an individual thus enabling him or her to overcome the adversity with guts and gusto. However apprehension or fear of future trouble gives collywobbles to even the brave heartened.

Having been through a tragedy or trouble one pulls one-self together and focuses one's attention on improving things। However with continuous fear gnawing at ones heart one has no time, no motivation to think positively. All one thinks of is how to fortress oneself from the future danger or problem or trouble. One might try all one can to disengage one's mind from the subject, yet in such situations uncertainty and fear loom to large that one's thoughts time and again tend to drift back to the problem.

In fact psychology experts believe that continuous and sever apprehension can completely destroy one's peace of mind। It is in fact the uncertainty that proves to be biggest threat and it could rob one not just of one's mental peace but also one's physical health. The apprehension may be related to losing one's job, one's performance in some examination, decision in a court case or market trends if you deal in shares. Or making life hell for you could be a staunch enemy or a business adversary, who is keeping you on the tenterhooks as to what his next move would be. Whatever be the situation, and even psychologist would concur with this, the best thing would be to prepare oneself the best one could and the wait patiently for the decisive moment.

But remember it's war - with Fate, adverse circumstances or a foe - and the Indian science of Sadhanas exhorts that one should be best equipped to meet the challenges of life। And when it is war time, just being defensive is not enough, one has to be fiercely offensive leaving nothing to chance. Also one need not engage in days & weeks of planning and worrying. Instead one should analyze the situation with a rational approach and then focusing all one's energy and will power wait for the right moment.

A lion does not plan or scheme when it hunts। The instant it sights its prey it launches into the attach। A similar approach to the problems of life makes a human Narsigh i.e. lion among men. The demon Hiranyakashyap seemed virtually invincible having won through Tapa the boon that he would die neither in the day or nor at night, neither at the hands of a human nor a beat, neither on earth neither in sky. Even gods were at there wits and how to destroy him. However when the right moment came, Lord Narayan lost no time in assuming a form that was half human and half lion and disembowelling the demon at dusk, having placed him on his lap.

All had apprehended the worst, yet at one stroke the Lord freed the world of the cruel demon's tyranny। this avatar of His is know as Narsingh, a divine being capable of performing even the most impossible, and banishing the worst of fears and apprehensions. Today it's common for an ordinary man to find himself in such situations from which there seems no respite. He goes on living but he is as good as dead, for constant fear of the unknown keeps giving him sleepless nights. It is also not uncommon for hidden enemies to hatch plots that could destroy one's family life or business or entrap one in a court case, false criminal charges or unnecessary quarrel.

The best antidote to all such situations is the Narsingh Sadhana that helps build up undauntiable confidence and unshakeable willpower। It in fact prepares him for successfully combating worst of apprehensions or problems of the future. It is with Gurudev's blessings that such a powerful and rare sadhana appears here for the Sadhaks to benefit from. Over the years I have seen hundred of individuals, left completely hopeless, distraught and broken by the onslaught of adversities, miraculously, rediscover their lost will power and emerge triumphant in virtual battles of life and death.

As Revered Gurudev had often elucidated - Narsingh Sadhana turns a human into a lion who lolls peacefully when all is calm around yet the moment he senses trouble with an ear shattering roar he is upon the enemy whether it is a problem, or a foe or an adverse situation.
This amazing sadhana must be tried on Chaturdasi or 14th day of the bright/dark lunar month. After 10 PM sit on a red mat facing West. In a steel plate place a Narsingh Yantra (Nrusinha Yantra) and offer it on rice gains and vermilion. Light a lamp filled with mustard oil. If you face a particular problem then write it down on a piece of paper and place it under the Yantra. Next with Narsingh rosary chant 5 rounds of the following Mantra.

Om Nrim Narsinghaay Shatru Bhuj Bal Veedrnaay Namaha

ॐ र्नुं नरसिम्हाय शत्रु भुज बल विदीर्नाय नमः

Don't whisper the Mantra, speak it out as powerfully as if it were a lion roaring. A surge of energy through the body is a pure sign of success, so don't be panic if you feel extra heat in your body. Next day tie the paper, Yantra and rosary in a red cloth and throw the bundle in river or pond.
