For those people who really want to progress in spirituality, here is a small thread on Sri Yukteshwar’s teaching to Swami Yogananda Paramhamsa (Autobiography of a Yogi fame) which you may find useful in these troubled times. Thread

Daridra dukha haran stotra: दारिद्र्यदहनशिवस्तोत्रम् विश्वेश्वराय नरकार्णवतारणाय कर्णामृताय शशिशेखरधारणाय । कर्पूरकान्तिधवलाय जटाधराय दारिद्र्यदुःखदहनाय नमः शिवाय ॥ १॥ गौरीप्रियाय रजनीशकलाधराय कालान्तकाय भुजगाधिपकङ्कणाय । गङ्गाधराय गजराजविमर्दनाय दारिद्र्यदुःखदहनाय नमः शिवाय ॥

Traditional Batuka Bhairava Jayanti (two dates are there: Kashmiri Shaivite Phalgun Krishna Trayodashi and Jyestha Shukla dashami): Excellent time for a Batuka Bhairava homam: Use mantra : ॐ ह्रीं बटुकाय नम: (स्वाहा) / ॐ ह्रीं बटुक भैरवाय नम: (स्वाहा) 108 times after invoking

Faith (Shraddha) based idea: Many a time it happens that somebody in the family may not be well BUT they cannot be convinced to do any sadhana or cannot do any sadhana; People may feel helpless at that time. Here is a particular sadhana (based on prayer though): Those times: take

Pranaam. Argala stotra homa: Agni prajvalita: 5 basic ahutis beginning. Avahana/ call Sri Ganesh. Panchaupchara. 11 ahutis to Ganapati. Call Durga/ form of Durga. Panchaupchara 11 times chant of Argala. After each dwisho jahi add svaha. Ahutis with ghee and tila and samagri/

Let us assume for a moment that Gayatri refers to Surya Gayatri mantra. Here is a Basic Question. What are the Derivatives of that Gayatri mantra? 👇🏻 Answer in comments. Has anybody done any sadhana of these?

I don’t advocate that. This caveat I only have for Vedic mantras. Upnayanam is very important for Gayatri specifically and intonation is very very important. However it’s a free country but I have very specific points on every issue, so not every person will agree with my

If you are in Kashi, there is a Brihaspati Shiva linga. It’s next to the temple where Swami Vivekananda’s parents went to ask for a son. I would get abhishekha done there on every Thursday for Brihaspati. cc: Shivansh

PSriram 🙏🏽 Well. I don’t specifically forbid it. But they can try Aditya Hrdayam or Surya Astottara, etc. Gayatri mantra if it starts working can burn the person internally… so better be careful.

My sister doing japa on last Mahashivratri in Kashi near Saptarishishwar mandir! The legend goes, one who does japa here destroys the negative karmas of thousands of births! I am sitting opposite on the corner as usual.

She has now taken up doing Chandi path (she wants to do Chandi homa). I have warned her that fire management of Chandi homa (700 verses) is difficult plus her flat will get dirty 😂😂🙏🏽) but she is adamant that at least wants to learn. Let us see. Before that she needs to

Yes. Actually I would never have learnt all this if it were not for her. But she is definitely a Shiva bhakt! And you remember how Shiva has shown his karuna on the ghat towards her last year (near Manikarnika when that old man doing the Shiva abhishekha asked her a question).

There are two forewords to this book. Both of them I am very pleased about. One from late Dr Achar who is my astronomy mentor. The other is from Dr Robert Svoboda (who I consider/ am certain that he is definitely Ranu reborn. Ranu was the son of Vimalananda who passed away at age

Now, you see, this particular thing about Vimalananda ‘coming in a dream’ is something that a lot of people debate. BUT I have also seen him years and years ago in a dream twice. So, all depends on your Bhakti I guess.

She suddenly realised in 2023 that she was unwell and started chanting Hanuman chalisa 6-8 hrs a day. Became normal. Started doing 6 hrs sadhana daily including homam. Lost 20 kg weight. Started learning Sanskrit and grammar (Panini) and Bhagawad gita. Came to England also.

When the Devatas shower their grace, it’s usually after extremely adverse circumstances (from whatever I have seen). It taught me a great great lesson. 1: It showed me that I was on the right path. 2: It showed me that nothing is impossible in life. 3: It made me more stubborn

Radhika Ambatipudi 🙏🏽 Apart from KalaBhairava Astakam and maybe naam japa, this is not generally done at home (but like Dhumavati and some other Devatas) it’s easier to do Batuk Bhairava and some other Devatas.

Impossible. Unfortunately. 🙏🏽
