NOTE: Other than YOGA SUTRA (for yoga) Patanjali seems to have written two other texts called MAHABHASHYA (for Sanskrit Grammar) and CHARAKAPRATISANSKRITA (for Medicine). Compiling these texts in one life by anyone is just incredible.

Yantra [Talisman] to Prevent Travel This is a Stambhan Yantra, which is prepared to prevent and stop the journey of any person, including a loved one or an enemy. In the Hindi language, this Yantra is called as the Yatra Stambhan Yantra or a Talisman to prevent travel. Given below is the method of putting it to actual practice.
The Yantra has to be prepared as shown in the image on a flat piece of any stone. A mixture of Gorochana [animal part found in Indian stores selling Tantra items], Kunkum [Vermillion Powder], Mansheel [the substance Realgar] and Hartal [Yellow Orpiment] in equal quantities. A pointed wooden stick should be used to write the Yantra.
Yantra [Talisman] to Prevent Travel
After the Yantra has been prepared, it has to be worshiped by offering it flowers, incense, the lighting of an Oil Lamp and offering it a sweet dish as Bhog. Then a small hole has to be dug in the ground and the Yantra has to be buried inside that hole. Note- Replace the word Amukam –
with the name of the person whose journey is intended to be prevented.

Bhairavi Stambhan Mantra for Enemies This is a Bhairavi Mantra Sadhana to gain paranormal protection against the weapons of enemies. As pointed out in earlier posts, these mantras are ancient spells, where enmities where mostly settled through swords and knives, hence the practitioners sought divine protection against harm from enemy weapons.
These protection experiments are mostly Tamas [fearsome] practices and hence the fearsome manifestations of various Hindu Deities are sought to be invoked. This Prayog invokes the Goddess Bhairavi.
Bhairavi Stambhan Mantra for Enemies
The Siddhi over the mantra is gained in a Smashan Bhumi [Hindu Cremation Ground]. The Sadhana is usually commenced on a Siddha Yoga Day like Amavasya, Holi, Grahan Kaal, Navaratri and Diwali. The practitioner has to chant the mantra 21,000 times sitting completely nude on the ground.
After completing the Mantra Japa, he has to worship the Goddess Bhairavi by making offerings of Wine and Meat.
Then whenever the Yogi wishes to use the Mantra Proyog, if threatened by enemies, the following Shastra Stambhan Experiment [Immobilization] has to be conducted.
Shastra [
] Stambhan Prayog
The seeds of the Apamarga Plant [Devil’s Horsewhip pr Prickly Chalf Flower] have to be taken in the hand and infused by chanting this Stambhan Mantra 21 times and thrown in front of the enemies. This is said to immobilized the hands of the enemies and render their weapons useless. Note - In English Shastra, [
] weapon and [
] religious scripture or texts are spelled in the same way.

Tantric Experiments using Gunja Plant Indian Tantra Vidya, believes that the Gunja Plant [Abrus precatorius], known in common English as Rosary Pea or Indian Licorice, has strong magical properties. Numerous Mantra Sadhanas and Prayogas are conducted by Tantrics, using the various portions of this plant. This site has from time to time given some Mantra Experiments, making the use of the Gunja Plant. In this post are given 3 unique experiments for 3 different purposes, which are conducted, using the parts of this plant. These experiments do not need and kind of Mantra Vidhi or Sadhana, however, one has to have achieved a certain degree of progress in the field of Tantra Vidya, to successfully perform such experiments. However, it is best to point out that such experiments are conducted under the guidance of an experienced practitioner as this plant it known to have toxic content which is harmful to the human body. For Vashikaran Purposes Keeping a portion of the root of the Gunja, in the pocket is believed to ensure success in legal and court related matters. It is also said to influence powerful persons in a position of authority, create a good impression on such persons, win their favor, and receive respect from them. If the root is crushed to a paste and a Tilak is put on the forehead, it is said to put all those people whom one meets come under a Vashikaran Spell of attraction. For Exorcism If 5 Gunja Seeds are stringed and tied as a Talisman around the neck of a person believed to be possessed by spirits, ghosts or evil entities; the outside energies will leave the body and aura of the possessed person. To have a Darshan of Kali Mata The Tantra says that if Gunja Seeds are crushed to a paste and a Tilak of this paste applied on Kali Mata, then the Mother Goddess will give him a Darshan in some form or the other and fulfill his wish.

Future Space World on L2 Luna - 3 By always very finely monitoring the position of a Fullball world at the Earth-Luna L2 location, they could early make fine adjustments when helpful. Ion jets might be used. There were other possibilities for very light fine adjustments. They could give a special tilt to the Solar energy collecting film disk so that the unabsorbed sunlight getting reflected away from the surface would cause some weak radiation pressure in a useful tilted wanted direction. Or they could use special reflecting films to accomplish this. Or they could occasionally have sunlight reflected focused to superheat some asteroid matter to serve as an adequate effective small rocket.
Actually it would be safer here to have the settlement formed in a mildly elliptic mildly tilted monthly orbit. It would then usually be somewhat above or below, before or behind L2. Sounds silly? No. Very sensible. There was ample Lunar hidden space all around L2, more than half Luna's width! So if conservative religious murderous haters of genetically altered moderns might ever read any future speculation about a place for maybe several moderns kept hidden at L2, and thus suspiciously had L2 closely viewed by an orbiting telescope, the dark hidden settlement wouldn't be there to see nor to even briefly blink hidden any remote star. Or if ever foes hateful against moderns sought to blast apart anything speculated at L2, there'd be nothing quite there to hit.
By now with extra free time, (thanks to free serving robotic devices), more moderns had assisted making inventions useful to Earth humans. Some had some saved earned profits they now partly combined to pay well the investors taking care of the orbiting settlements, to have them begin having loads sent from source asteroid(s) to begin forming a secret new L2 Fullball world for moderns completely hidden behind Luna. The investors group deserved good payments to reward them for their excellent idea.
The Earth-Luna L2 point is 61,491km from Luna's center. (Luna, of radius 1,738km, is 384,393km from Earth.) Communications cubes sent to the Earth-Luna L4 & L5 Lagrangian points, 60deg before and after Luna in its orbit, could communicate with anything out behind Luna if up there at 15.5% of Luna's radius, (merely .45% of L2's altitude).

Mantra for the Riches of Life The Ashta Aishwarya or the eight riches of life are broadly - first and foremost spiritual wealth then not necessarily in this order - money, food, animals, children, strength, victory and knowledge. This broadly corresponds to the Ashta Laxmi or the eight manifestations of Laxmi. These Ashta Aishwarya were the considered as the wealth of life by the ancient Indians; it’s the same now. I have just the mantra to meditate on the riches of Life; though number of chants does not matter; one can chant or meditate upon this mantra as many times as one likes. The glowing image at the bottom is the mantra.
Mantra for the Riches of Life
Meaning – I bow to Laxmi; the one in the form of Ashta Aishwarya.

After viewing almost all the pages in this forum and other sites on the internet i've found following vashikaran/sammohan mantras. But, I don't know which amongst these are working or are tested and how they can be used to accomplish the goals. Choose one at your own discretion. Any expert advice is welcomed on these : ----- VASHI KARAN MANTRAS (1) Vashi Karan Mantra(Use of Supari) Supari (Used in betel) should be infused 108 times with this mantra. Whosoever is offered this supari and eats it, will be under your control. It is best to take sweet supari packets duly infused and kept with you for use. Mantra "Om Dev namo Hrarye tha tha Swaha" (2) Use of fruits The mantra shoud be recited ten thousand times to attain siddhi. After than take any good fruit and infuse it with mantra 108 times. Whosoever will take the fruit will remain under your control. Mantra "Om Hareeng Mohini Swaha" (3) Use of water Rise early in the morning and after your ablutions purify the water with 7 mantras and with the name of the person required to be brought under your control. Drink this water. Repeat for 21 days. The person concerned will be under your control. Mantra "Om Chimi chimi Swaha" This mantra too can be used to control the enemy. Procure 7 red chillies with branch. Light a fire. Recite the above mantra adding name of the enemy before the word "Swaha" and put one chilly in the fire. Repeat 7 times for 11 or 21 days. For enemy this should be started on Tuesday or Saturday. (4) Mohammadan mantra Mantra "Eena etevena shetan meri shakal ban Amuk ke pas jana oose mere pass lana rahi to turi Bahan, par teen san tee talag" Stand naked on the wrong side of the cot, take Gur in your hand and recite 121 times. Keep Gur under the cot and sleep during the night. In the morning, the Gur should be distributed among the boys. Replace the name of the lady in place of word Amuk in the mantra. The lady will approach within 7 days. (5) To control husband Ladies can use this mantra to control their husbands who have gone astray, those who do not cooperate and are our of control. This mantra too can be used to control enemies, opponents, superiors and others. Mantra "Om namo maharyakshaya Mam Pati me Vashya kuru kuru Swaha" Recite the mantra 108 times duly performing Homa. the articels used in such mantra must be infused with recitation 7 times with above mantra and given to the husband to eat to control him. (6) Kam Gayatri Mantra This Kam gayatri mantra is most effective. Mantra "Om Manohhavay Vidahe Kandpye demahi Tantra Kama Parchodyat" Recite this mantra 1.25 lacs times to attain siddhi and to appease Kam Devta. After that use this mantra for any lady who will be infatuated and remain satisfied under your control. (7) Kamakhya Vashi Karan Mantra A most effective mantra . This mantra is be recited one lakh times for siddhi. Replace the name of the lady or person instead of word Amuk in mantra. Mantra "Om Namo Kamakshi Devi Aamuki me Vansham Kuru Kuru Swaha" After attaining siddhi of this mantra use any of the following methods and articels etc., which can be exorcised 108 times by the above mantra and the desired results are obtained. (a) Take out dust from all nails of the hands, feet and nose on sunday. Exorcise and then give to lady or any person to eat in bettel leaf. (b) Make a powder of Kakjanga, Kesar, Mausli and Tagar. Exorcise 108 times with above mantra. Preserve the powder and put on the forehead of the the lady or any person who will become in infatuated with you. © Procure on sunday flowers, leaves root, trunk and branch of black datura tree or plant. Mix in them kesar, Camphor and Gorochan. Make a powder of all. Exorcise the same 108 times. Put Tilak on the forehead and go before the lady or any person, who will be subjected to Vashi Karan. --------- JAI GURUDEV Mantra: Aim For controlling the mind of someone else. The knowledge of tantra is never complete without the knowledge of Shathhkarm, i.e.; Shanti, Vashikaran, Stambhan, Vidweshan, Uchchatan and Maran. Just reciting the Beej Mantra won't accomplish any of the above; but, will surely create a favourable environment for you. ######################### Beej Mantras are single character mantras which are as capable as any bigger mantra. Sankrit is called the language of gods because every character of Devnagari, current script for Sanskrit, is a Beej Mantra. Beej Mantras are free from all restriction; there are no rules, no rosary or yantra is required and no diksha is necessary. And best of all, these can be recited mentally anywhere while doing anything. To recite mentally, I imagine to be hearing the mantra again and again in my own voice. Beej Mantras are available for each deity or god, thus have solution for any situation. The best example of their power is the Bhuvaneshwari Mahavidya Mantra -'Hreem' which is a Beej Mantra. The method is simple. Pick a Beej Mantra of your liking or based on the situation, and recite it as much as you can till the problem is solved. You can do it in office, in gym, in restaurent and even while sleeping. ######################### Good Luck... --------- Hello, This mantra diksha was given in jodhpur - siddhashram on 10th march, 2009 Effect - Vashikaran + Hypnotism Om sha samohanaeye vasham aanye om fat Recite - 2 malla everyday for 41 days continous. Take sankalp before doing this. Throw the rossary in flowing river. This works 100%. Regards, Dhiraj Bhura +91 9769375561 -------- even several of mantras for vashikaran but what i am going to tell u that is absolute payog of vashikaran. but be careful never misuse it . it's invented by Ravan and even bhrama protect the person but it will be sure that person will atract if u perform sadhana with full of plerome. chant 10,000 time mantra with Moonga mala, wear red cloths, UDDISH GUTIKA place on red cloth. || om namo bhagvate uddaamareeshwaraay mohay mohay mili mili thah that || while u chanting the mantra picture of person to whom u want to attrect place in front of u. and ogal it with full of love. after comlition of sdhana gutika tie with photo & put in yuor personal box. -------- In my humble opinion, there can be no greater power for vashikarana or accomplishment of desires than Mahaavisnu, therefore if Lord Krsna does not accomplish a desire, other means will not help. Also i believe that Lord Jesus is an avataara of Visnu, so you may address Jesus too. To address Lord Krsna, i suggest this form: Ooom! Qr,s,na Qr,s,na Mahaajogin Vaqtaanaam Avaja~qara Gowinda Paramaananda Sarwam Me Wazam Aanaja. For how to pronounce, please see my signature. If you use it for one year or maybe less, this mantra will definitely work even if you eat meat, but then you shall suffer the adverse karma from meat eating together with the benefits from the mantra. Cattle meat may be eaten only from sacrificed animals that have not given milk for 3 years, according to the Veda. I have used the mantra while i ate meat on days except designated as fasts, and still i had a woman. When i stopped the mantra (because my woman could not tolerate hearing the name of shrii Krsna even whispered!), then she felt frigid for me and left me. I have used Shiva's mantras and Devi mantras for years - no use, i got nothing but loss. There r 2 possibilities: Shaaiva and Shaakta mantras are not powerful, or there is someone who did not allow Shiva or Devi to bring good results. In my opinion, the latter is true: Shiva and his Consort are really powerful, but there is someone more powerful who did not allow them to give good results. To sum up, if Mahaavisnu's name does not bring the result for you, nothing will bring it. This is my opinion. Visnu shows his power by granting desires, but also by rejecting desires. If you have found that there is any name more powerful than Mahaavisnu's or his avataaraas', please write here, we should not be kept in such ignorance. ____________----- kaam gayatri mantra || om kaam devaay vidmahe puspbannaay dheemahi tanno anang pracodayat || before u have to perform ast kaamdev pujan chant 5 round of this mantra on any friday . vashikaran mantra|| om hreem amukam mam vasya vasya sammohanaay hreem om || its method will explain later. --------- u can try this one.chant it with sammohan mala and sammohan vashikaran yantra.11 rosaries on friday. mantra -: om sudarshanaya vidmahe mahajwaalaya dheemahi tannaschakra prachodayath. this is a very fruitful mantra.if gurudev has said this then it cant be false.keep faith and perseverence. --------- THE FIRST ONE IS: OM SHAM SAMOHANAY SHAM NAMAH THE SECOND MANTRA IS OM HREEM OMKUM (REPLACE OMKUM WITH PARTNERS NAME) MAMA VASHIAYA SAMOHA NAIYA HREEM NAMAH --------- Last month only Gurudev has given shaktipaat diksha called Sampoorn Charachar Sammohan Vashikarn Diksha. The mantra is - Om Sham Shambhavaay sam sammohanaay poorn charachar vashikaran sham sam om phat swaha It gives results in 21 days (upper time limit). 5 malas daily on moonga or sphatik for 21 days preferably late night. After that daily havan (of at least 1 mala)of til and ghee would consolidate the gains. --------- Aum HRIM, amuk, vasham-karaay, kuroo-kuroo-svaahaa Call the person's name in the place where "amuk" is written. Repeat the mantra at 11 times. You can do this 1 or 3 times a day. When you repeat you have to intensely visualize that you are keeping this person under your control and see his or her face in your visualization. ---------- There is a mantra called Swamvara parvati mantra that is ment for developing terrific attraction and vasikaran power. You can find it in a postiing in the forum: Ammachi, by Sesha M.D. Mantripragada. I am cuting and pasting from that post for your convenience.
.................................................. ........................... 1) PARVATHI SWAYAMVARA MANTRA Similar to the Gayathri Mantra, which is made up of 24 letters, this mantra is very powerful, made up of 48 letters. Mantras are sacred. Hence these should be mastered only with the help of a Guru. This is most important as correct pronunciation of each word counts a lot in attaining the desired benefit. Those who cant recite with clarity should propitiate with the help of learned Brahmin scholars. Om Hreem Yoginim Yogini Yogeswari Yoga Bhayankari Sakala Sthavara Jangamasya Mukha Hridayam Mama Vasamakarsha Akarshaya Swaha / This mantra should be recited 108 times daily for 18 days or 24 days or 48 days depending upon the seriousness of the situation. "O Thou who art always in Union with the Lord, Master of Yoga, Terrible of Form Heart of all that is living and nonliving, Please give me the power of attraction and fascination, O Noble One"! 2)Another mantra from posting of Sudershan Joshi on 16- 6-2004 in forum Mantra Tantra vijnana OM! namo sarvaloka vasikaraya kuru kuru swaha.Repeat it 1900000 times.Try to be vegeterian. 3) Yet another one: From posting of rajkumar_v3, on 21-102004, in forum Mantra Tantra Vijnana. Vashikaran mantras are many and each god and goddess have the power to exert their own powers to attract. The mantra for Ganesh vashikaran mantra is Om aim hreem shreem kleem gloum gum ganapataye vara varada sarva janam me vashamaanaya swaha. Similarly instead of sarvajam, u can use any individuals name u may desire to attract. Never misuse this mantra. Try to sanctify this mantra by reciting for 100008 times and then repeat it daily 108 times with Ganesh yantra in front of you and do puja by offering flowers and wheat grass and offering incense and fragrances. Akarshan Mantra =>Aakarshay Mahadevi Ram Mam Priyam Hey Tripure Devdeveshi Tubhyam Dasyami Yanchitam Which word do I replace with the name of the person I want to attract to me in the Akarshan mantra I have posted above? Is it the word Ram or Mam that I replace the name of the person within the Akarshan mantra? How many times do I need to chant this mantra to see the successful sidhi I need to achieve my goal with this mantra? Do I chant it for 40 days for a 108 times a day will that be enough to manifest my goal in attracting the specific person I have in mind. I will use this mantra no matter what so please don't even think of detering me cause I used the Vashikaran mantra with sweet success and I was very responsible in chanting it with care. I know these mantras are use to attract situations and specific person you want to attract in your life. I already know that, I just need to know how to use it correctly. --------- Which one to choose is solely upto you, so choose wisely. I would also sincerely request senior members to put some light on above so that novice can perform these sincerely. Oh Almighty GOD plz guide all human souls to eternity n divinity.... God Bless ALL!! Om Namah Shivay!

Many people fear those enemies who are likely to destroy their reputations by spread false and defamatory rumors about them or blackmailers, wanting something in return, for keeping their mouth shut. The Hindu Mantra Science of remote enemy annihilation includes the Stambhan or Immobilization Tantra, which is known to remotely remove all kinds of enemies from ones surroundings. In this post is given another one of the Stambhan Mantra and the Tantra to put it to practical use. This mantra invokes the Mother Goddess Chamunda Mata, hence Mastery over the Mantra is essential. Siddhi is gained by chanting the Mantra 100,000 times. While chanting the Mantra, the Sadhak has to do a Smaran [remembrance] of Chamunda Mata.
After gaining Siddhi, the Mantra can be used to shut the mouth of an enemy by the following Tantra – A piece of the root of the Palash Tree [flame of the forest tree] has to be wrapped in a Palm Leaf. Then this wrapped root has to be infused by chanting the Stambhan Mantra 3 times. Here the word “Amuk” should be replaced by the enemy’s name. After following the steps given above the Sadhak should keep the wrapped root in his hand and go in in front of the enemy, whose mouth he wishes to shut. The Stambhan Tantra says that the enemy will forget his animosity and turn amicable towards the Sadhak.

Kulachudamani Tantra
If it is presumed that Rahu swallows the Sun or the Moon, how is it that t Sun or the Moon at the seventh sign from it is also swallowed by Rahu w far from it?...Really the Moon is the hiding object of the Sun and of the M the hiding object is the huge shadow of the earth. This shadow of the ear will always be at the seventh sign from the Sun, moving with a velocity e to the Sun's - Goladipika by Parameshvara (1443 c.e.)

Kulachudamani Tantra is a nigama, meaning that instead of Devi asking questions answered by Lord Shiva (agama), he asks questions answered Devi, the goddess. In this tantra the cult goddess is Mahishamardini, a D with some similarities to Durga.

In seven short chapters, Devi expounds the essence of her worship, somet in beautiful and nearly always in colourful language. But the uncanny sid Kaula and Kali worship is dwelt on in great detail, with references to sidd including a mysterious process where the tantrik adept leaves his body at apparently so he can engage in sexual intercourse with Shaktis.

Animal sacrifice also appears to have a place in this tantra, as well as grue magical matters, including using the bones of a dead black cat to make a magical powder. Please don't try this at home. To read the abstract of the text provided in Sir John Woodroffe's Tantrik Text series (here) you would have little idea of this.
When, under the pseudonym of Arthur Avalon, he produced this series, a beginning of the 20th century, the fact that an Englishman and a High Co judge would interest himself in even orthodox Hinduism no doubt caused eyebrows to rise and lips to be pursed amongst his peers.
As well as including that introduction, we also here provide our translatio first published in Azoth magazine in the early 1980s.
Although far from being completely happy with this rendition, it does giv flavour of the content which you would be unlikely to get if you relied jus the Tantrik Texts abstract. Chapter seven remains to be translated.
The siddhis - or magical powers - play a large part in this text. The main tantriki rites are called the six acts (shatkarma) of pacifying, subjugating, paralysing, obstructing, driving away, and death-dealing. But the Kulachudamani includes others such as Parapurapraveshana, which is the power of reviving a corpse; Anjana, which lets a sËdhaka see through sol walls; Khadga which gives invulnerability to swords; Khecari, which give power of flying and Paduka siddhi, magical sandals which take you great distances, rather like seven league boots.
Certainly, the importance of having a suitable Shakti forms the essence of instructions Devi gives to Shiva. We see this emphasis over and over aga throughout the tantra.
Devi here takes the form of Mahishamardini, more popularly known as D who destroyed the two arch-demons Sumbha and Nisumbha in an epic ba between the goddess and the throng of demons. It was at this time, accord legend, that Durga created Kali, by emanating her out of her third eye.
We learn more of Durga's legends and myths from the Kalikapurana, an influential source in Kaula tantra. The Devi, Mahamaya, appeared as Bha Kali - identical with Mahishamardini - according to the same text, in orde slay the demon Mahisha. He had fallen into a deep sleep on a mountain a had a terrible dream in which Bhadra Kali cut asunder his head with her s and drank his blood.
The demon started to worship Bhadra Kali and when Mahamaya appeared him again in a later age to slaughter him again, she asked a boon of her. D replied that he could have his boon, and he asked her for the favour that h would never leave the service of her feet again. Devi replied that his boon granted. "When you have been killed by me in the fight, O demon Mahish you shall never leave my feet, there is no doubt about it. In every place w worship of me takes place, there (will be worship) of you; as regards your body, O Danava, it is to be worshipped and meditated upon at the same ti (Kalikapurana, ch.62, 107-108. There is now a complete English translat
this purana -- see Bibliography for details.)
First Patala
Sri Bhairava said: Innumerable are Tripura (tantras), innumerable those o Kalika, countless those of Vagishvari, numberless the beautiful Kulakulas known as Matangini, Purna, Vimala, Candanayika, Tripura-Ekajata, Durga Kulasundari. Numberless the Vaishnava, Ganapatya, Saura, Shaivite, and the different doctrines of Shankara.
The highest of the doctrines are the 64 tantras: the Mahasarasvata, Yogini Shambara, Tattvashambara, the eight Bhairavas, the eight Bahurupas, the Jnana, the eight Yamalas, the Tantrajnana, the Vasuki, the Mahasammoha the Mahasuksma, the Vahana and the Vahana Uttaram, the Hrdbheda, the Guhyatattva, the Kamika, the Kalapaka, the Kubjika Mata, the Maya Utta the Vina, the Trodala Uttara, the Pancamrta, the Rupabheda, the Bhutadam the Kulasara, the Kullodisa, the Visvatmaka, the Sarvajnatmaka, the Mahapitrmata, the Mahalakhmimata, the Siddhi Yogesvari Mata, the Kur Mata, the Rupikamata, the Sarvaviramata, the Vimalamata, the tantras of south, west and north, the Niruttara, the Vaisesikajnanatantra, the Sivabal Arunesa, the Mohanesa and the Visuddhesvara.
O Lovely Hipped One, now speak to me of their essence if you have love me.
Devi said: Listen Deva, supremely blissful quintessence, the Lord of Kula the very essence of knowledge of the ocean of Kula tantra, concealed by m Maya.
I am Great Nature, consciousness, bliss, the quintessence, devotedly prais Where I am, there are no Brahma, Hara, Shambhu or other devas, nor is t creation, maintenance or dissolution. Where I am, there is no attachment, happiness, sadness, liberation, goodness, faith, atheism, guru or disciple.
When I, desiring creation, cover myself with my Maya and become triple becoming ecstatic in my wanton love play, I am Vikarini, giving rise to th various things.
The five elements and the 108 lingams come into being, while Brahma an other devas, the three worlds, Bhur-Bhuvah-Svah spontaneously come in manifestation.
By mutual differences of Shiva and Shakti, the (three) gunas originate. Al things, such as Brahma and so forth, are my parts, born from my being. Dividing and blending, the various tantras, mantras and kulas come into b After withdrawing the five fold universe, I, Lalita, become of the nature o nirvana. Once more, men, great nature, egoism, the five elements, sattvas and tamas become manifested. This universe of parts appears and is then dissolved.
O All-Knowing One, if I am known, what need is there for revealed scrip and sadhana? If I am unknown, what use for puja and revealed text? I am essence of creation, manifested as woman, intoxicated with sexual desire, order to know you as guru, you with whom I am one. Even given this,
Mahadeva, my true nature still remains secret.
Devi said: Listen son, to the very plain exposition of the teachings of utm bliss. I speak of the method relating to the yoga of liberation. This is the o essence of all tantras, worshipped by all devas, giving every sort of know secret, giving a clear idea of the essence of enlightenment, free of good o giver of both enjoyment and liberation, consisting of all paths. Dear son, i deludes even the wise!
It is of various and numerous meanings and is the goal and refuge of all p disciples. It is known as the best path according to all the paths, yet is rev by all doctrines. It should be known only through the best of teachers. It s be protected and hidden in the heart very carefully, as I did not reveal it to Vishnu, Dhatra or Ganapati.
Dear son, whoever is unaware of this tantra is incompetent. Dearest, I spe the pure knowledge of Kulachara.
Arising at dawn, a sadhaka should bow to a Kula tree. After meditating o Kulas from the Muladhara to the one thousand petalled lotus, he should meditate on the gurus.
Then he should meditate on and worship the Kulagurus Prahladanandanat Sanakanandanatha, Kumaranandanatha, Vasistanandanatha, Krodhanandanatha, Sukhanandanatha, Jnananandanatha, and Bodhananda as being intoxicacted by the nectar of the absolute, whose blissful hearts s in their eyes, their darkness cut and crushed by their having embraced Kulashastra, merciful to Kula disciples, complete, compassionate and effulgent, giving boons and dispelling fear, knowing the essence of all Kulatantras.
After bowing to the Kulagurus, one should give worship to the Kulamatri fashioning a Kula place and bathing oneself in all the holy waters (tirthas
Dear son, a Kulaguru is an accomplished being and said to be the vehicle happiness. Dear son, conceal this very secret marvellous doctrine from th sight of pashus.
They who should reject the Kulanatha, who alone is a Shakta, served by t Kulas, for them initiation and sadhana is black magic. Because of this, on should by every effort resort to a Kulina guru. It is said a Kulina is compe in all vidyas and is able to initiate in all mantras.
Second Patala
Devi said: Dear son, now I will speak of bathing, the vehicle of Kula happ I have various forms (coloured) black, red, yellow and blue. Whichever p on the path of Kula goes to bathe, attains my form. Everything, heaven a hell, originates on earth. After sipping water, strew the Kula place with g and Kula flowers and place durva grass, sesame oil and water in the Kula vessel.
After satisfying the Kuladeva, bathe. At first performing resolution, then the Kula Cakra on the (surface) of the water. Bow to the Kula trees, and u the Kula mudra called Ankusha, the Kula should invoke the Kula tirthas ( the water). After drinking the water three times, bathe body three times.
Dedicate the offering to the deva of the Kula tree three times.
Using the Kula water, oblate the devas, the ancestors and the rishis. Again after meditating on the Kulas, offer water to the Kula devas again. In the Bhairavi Tantra there are verses relating to this knowledge: Bhairavaya d Creation came from Bhairava. Offer to Bhairava, pronouncing this mantr After giving a suitable offering, meditate on the being of Bhairava-Bhaira offering the remainder.
Deva, by meditating in this manner, I bestow grace, whether the rite be th ancestors, Shakti, offering, bathing or limb puja, there is no doubt about t After satisfying (Devi), offer the remainder to the people pervading the w who have this thing. Then rise, don the Kula robe, and envelop oneself in
Making a forehead mark of the Kula type, sip water again. Pay respect to Kula pitha and do worship of the Kuladeva.
After satisfying the guardian of the door by suitable song, dance, speech a forth, one should collect the Kula elements and purify the Kula seat. The seat duly prepared, then strew the area with suitable pleasant things. Sittin the Kula seat, and binding the hair, do the ritual of Guru puja.
A person should purify himself, the area of ritual work, and his own body Sipping the offering, the wise person should then worship the Kula ishtad Do the puja with initiates, with adepts, with young maidens, with Kula pe and with those devoted to devata and guru.
Various kinds of flowers and different sorts of scents should be present an should don clothes scented with camphor and incense, smeared with scen powder. Offer tambula and various other pleasant substances, giving ince and fire first.
A Kaulika should wear all kinds of jewels and gems, and, reciting the roo vidya, should sprinkle the place with water. All the substances should be right, while the offering (arghya) should be on the left. The Kula substanc should be to the west of the devata.
Making a yantra using different menstrual flowers such as svayambhu an different red materials like rocana, lac, kumkuma, and red sandalwood, on should do the puja, afterwards offering recitation. After reciting the Shakt mantra and praising her, then do the dismissal. Circle, and then prostrate yourself in front of the young woman there present. After previously offe the essence of the Kula nectar to the guru, one should then eat food.
One should worship the young woman and she should worship you. Conc the design of the yantra in the secret place of the 1,000 petal lotus. Only i this to a Kulina and never to atheists, fools, pashus or brahmanas, otherw one meets with death.
Folk having gone at night to the cremation ground or to a Kula house and placing in the centre of flowers and sweet scents the highest Kula thing, s in the company of Kulas, within the Kulacakra, draw a Kulayantra contai the name of the object to be accomplished. After first writing one's own n accomplish the sadhana following the rules of the Kulacara. The sadhaka should do the sadhana with his own and other Shaktis. Dear son, now listen to the rules relating to unification with Parashakti.
Embrace one's own partner, who should be very beautiful and very allurin One should act as the guru to the Kula devotee, and should initiate her int path of Kula.
(She should) show in her eyes the very blissful essence, be Kula born, be faithful and very wise, inwardly protective of the guru, with her mouth fu tambula.
You should worship her as if she were your own daughter. Then draw on forehead a Shakti Cakra of three concentric circles, within this writing the Kamakala mantra. In the centre, using mantra, write the name of the obje be attained. Inside this, invoke Devi and after meditating on her, worship

If, firstly, you do not do limb and avarana puja, then you are not a Kula. A first meditating on one's own guru as being above one, the very essence o nectar, and after oblating that deva, then one may recite mantra.
Third Patala
Now I speak to you of worship at night in one's own Kula. The Shakti sho seated on your left hand side on a mattress, adorned with red clothes, bejewelled with gold, smeared with red scents, garlanded with flowers, perfumed, wearing bright things, very beautiful, wearing lovely clothes, w eyes like shy blossoms, slender, with large full breasts.

Attracted to him in this way, a sadhaka achieves success a becomes a Kaulika.
Unless she is initiated and young, how is it possible to accomplish Kulapu There can be no Kulapuja, dearest, unless she has previously obtained the mantra. When other than young, dear son, it is as if she were one with the (?). In her left ear, recite the mantra while sprinkling her (with Kula nectar).
Mahadeva, now listen. I will expound this mantra to you. Aim Klim Sauh Tripurayai imam Shaktim pavitram mama Shakti kuru Svaha. This mantr 26 syllables (?). O Deva, purify the Shakti using this mantra.
Brahmin-girl, warrior-girl, merchant-girl, slave-girl, Kulini, daughter of a barber, washer-girl, yogini; these are the eight girls.
Each woman is equivalent to a Kula maiden. Hold the Kula cakra at a crossroads, close to a river, at the root of a bilva tree, actually within the cremation ground, during a feast, in a palace or whatever, O Holder of the Trident! Draw, dear son, a great yantra using powdered vermilion, and strew on it names of the object you want to accomplish!
Use couch grass. Worship according to the rule and enter the Kula using t essence of Kula. Worship therein according to the due prescription and cr the Kula using the essence of Kula!
Offering wine within the Kula area, devoted souls should then worship beautiful young women, duly initiated, wearing (silken) robes, garlands a forth, giving them food, good milk and all the rest.
To start, give (these maidens) food you have cooked yourself (dear son). (Examples follow): different sorts of cake, curd, milk, ghee, buttertmilk, candies. Offer different side-dishes flaboured [for example] with crushed saffron and essences of variegated sources (drawn from) the art of cooker
Try offering jackfruit, polished cardamoms, washed lemons, pomegranate different other pleasant fruits [all the while] smearing the maidens with a variety of scents and perfumes.
Try offering them sandalwood, musk, saffron, fresh green sprouts of palla borax, blossoms of the Lodhra tree, things from the water, items from the forest. Bring [your beautiful Shaktis] different jewels, and decorate them turn - with very precious jewels of different kinds.
Do the worship in a private place, and give offerings and also do purificat Once [a sadhaka] has caused the Kula amrita to flow, he should bow in fr the Shaktis.
He should bow to each of the Shaktis, in turn, and should call out their na starting with the Brahmini. Asking each to take a seat, a sadhaka should m sure each one has a seat. Then he should give them offerings, water to dri water for each [beautiful goddess] to wash her toes, honey-flavoured wate water yet again.
If they are uninitiated, [the sadhaka] should say Hrim to each. O truly beauteous One, he should feed them in the centre of a pavilion using gold plates. Then he should recite the hymn. Om hail to you Mother Devi! Stainless soul, the essence of Brahma. Through your compassion remove obstacles and bestow siddhi on me! Maheshi, giver of blessings! Devi, the form of supreme bliss!

Devi you are the goddess, father and mother both! You take the place of our father and mother! Although one, you are many, in the form of the cosmos! Hail to you Devi, hail!
Fourth Patala
Dear son, my secret originates in simple practice. Those lacking this do n obtain success even in one hundred koti of births. Folk following the pat Kula and the Kulashastras are broad minded, from following the path of Vishnu, patient of insult, and always doing good to others.
One should go to the temple of a deva, or to a deserted place, free of peop empty place, to a crossroads or to an island. There, one should recite the m and, having bowed, become one with divinity and free from sorrow.
Bow to Mahakali if you see a vulture, a she-jackal, a raven, an osprey, a h a crow or a black cat, saying: "O Origin of all, greatly terrifying one, with dishevelled hair, fond of flesh offering, charming one of Kulachara, I bow you, Shankara's beloved!"
If you should see a cremation ground or a corpse, circumambulate. Bowin them, and reciting a mantra, a mantrin becomes happy: "O you with terrib fangs, cruel eyed one, roaring like a raging sow! Destroyer of life! O mot sweet and terrifying sound, I bow to you, dweller in the cremation ground
If you should see a red flower or red clothes - the essence of Tripura - pro yourself like a stick on the ground and recite the following mantra: "Tripu destroyer of fear, coloured red as a bandhuka blossom! Supremely beauti one, hail to you, giver of boons."
If you should see a dark blue flower, a king, a prince, elephant, horse, cha swords, blossoms, a vira, a buffalo, a Kuladeva, or an image of Mahishamardini - bow to Jayadurga to become free of obstacles. Say: "Ja Devi! Support of the universe! Mother Tripura! Triple divinity!"
If you should see a wine jar, fish, meat or a beautiful woman, bow to Bha Devi, saying this mantra: "O destructress of terrifying obstacles! Grace gi the path of Kula! I bow to you, boon giver adorned with a garland of skul red clothed one! One praised by all! All obstacle destroying Devi! I bow
you, the beloved of Hara."
Dear son, if a person sees this things without bowing, the Shakti mantra d not give success.
I all of this I am the most important part, beloved of the Kula folk. All the Dakinis are my parts. Listen Bhairava! One who has gained success in my simple yoga cannot be harmed by a Dakini. My devotees abound in wealt cannot be conquered by Vatukas or Bhairavas.
Whichever Kaula is seen by a young girl or woman, whether he be in vill city, festival, or at the crossroads, causes her to be filled with longing, her aching, her eyes darting glances, like a line of bees mad for honey falls on lotus flower, greedy for nectar, like a female partridge for a cloud, like a c for her recently born calf, like a female gazelle eager for young shoots of like jackals for flesh, like a person tortured by thirst who sees water, like dvamsi (?) at the sight of a lotus fibre, or like an ant greedy for honey.
The sight of such a Kaula, enveloped by the Kulas, causes her lower garm slip, she becomes mad with lust, and of unsteady appearance.
Seeing her on a couch, her breasts and vagina exposed, one should fall to feet, and, rising, fall again. One should impart the oral lore to an alluring female companion - in her feet resides the secret of the act of love. One a such female companions, with beautiful hips and beautiful breasts, like a to the Kaula, free from greed or modesty, devoted, patient of heart, sensu very inner of spirt.
In such a happy Duti, curiosity may suddenly arise, she asking "Dear son, is to be done or not to be done? Speak!" One should perform sacrifice to t indwelling Maya and offer the remainder to the Shakti. After this, one sho excite her and then perform the act of love.
On a Tuesday, in the cremation ground, smeared with Kula vermilion, usi Kula wood, one should draw a yantra. In the petals write the Canda Mant Sphrem Sphrem Kiti Kiti twice, and then the ninefold mantra of Mahishamardini. Outside this, write the mantras of Jayadurga and Shmas Bhairavi. After writing them, worship Bhadrakali at night, meditating on Kamakhya, the essence of Kamakala.
The Kulakaulika, naked, with dishevelled hair, should meditate on the formidable Kali, with her terrifying fangs and appearance, Digambari, wi garlands of human arms, seated on a corpse in Virasana, in sexual union w Mahakala, her ears adorned with bone ornaments, blood trickling from he mouth, roaring terrifyingly, wearing a garland of skulls, her large and swe breasts smeared with blood, intoxicated with wine, trembling, holding in left hand a sword, and in her right hand a human skull, dispelling fear and granting boons, her face terrifying, her tongue rolling wildly, her left ear adorned with a raven's feather, her jackal servants roaring loudly like the time, she herself laughing terribly and pitilessly, surrounded by hordes of fearsome Bhairavas, treading on human skeletons, wholly occupied with sounds of victorious battle, the supreme one, served by numberless hosts powerful demons.
After meditating on Kalika, the lord of Kula should then worship her. Un one enters the other city, Kulasiddhi cannot be achieved. Because this De gives all success as soon as she is remembered, she is hymned in the three
worlds as Dakshina.
O Bhairava, by reciting her mantra 108 times, one can achieve whatever o is wished for. After establishing oneself at the crossroads and meditating Devi in your heart, one should enter the city adorned with the most beauti sorts of jewels. After meditating on Devi in the four directions, bow to th Kulaguru and, holding the name of the object of siddhi in your left hand, pronounce the mantra.

The remedies for relieving back pain given here can also be practiced by both men and women suffering from chronic back pain. This remedy is of an astrological nature.

Peepal Tree Worship for Laxmi Blessings It is said in the Shastras that the Goddess of Wealth and Abundance blesses the Peepal Tree with her presence on the day of Purnima [Full Moon Day]. Hence, worshipping the Peepal Tree [Sacred Fig] Tree on this day will bear fruit in not only finance and money related matters, but also help resolve problems related to personal, marital and domestic issues. In this post, I have written about a simple form of worship of the Peepal Tree to be conducted on the occasion of Purnima. The Sadhana is extremely simple, all that has to be done is to water the Peepal Tree at 10.00 O’clock in the morning and chant a small prayer to Laxmi Mata to bless you and resolve your problems. The time mentioned here is extremely important, as it is the most auspicious time to worship the Peepal Tree on Purnima. All those wishing to perform this simple form of worship, please keep in maing that cleanliness and hygiene are qualities valued by Laxmi, Hence, have a bath and wear clean clothes while performing the Laxmi Sadhana. Ladies, wishing to perform this Laxmi Sadhna, should take care to avoid it during the period of their Monthly Cycle.

the Indian state of Kerala.[1] The Cheraman Masjid is said to be the very first mosque in India, built in 629 AD by Malik lbn Dinar. It is believed that this mosque was first renovated and reconstructed in the 11th century AD. Many non-Muslims conduct initiation ceremonies to the world of letters of their children here.[1]
History[edit]
Kerala Vyasan Kunhikuttan Thampuran is of the opinion that an ancient Buddha vihar was gifted to the Muslims to establish a mosque.[1][dubious – discuss]
Since ancient times, trade relations between Arabia and the Indian subcontinent were active. Even beforeIslam had been established in
Arabia, Arab traders visited the Malabar region, which was a major link between the ports of Southand Southeast Asia. With the advent of Islam, the Arab merchants became carriers of the new religion and they propagated it wherever they went.[2] Cheraman Perumal, the Chera king, went to Arabia where he met the Prophet and embraced Islam and changed his name to Tajuddin.[3] From there he had sent letters with Malik Ibn Dinar to his relatives in Kerala, asking them to be courteous to the latter.[1] According to Burnell he was a contemporary of Islamic Prophet Muhammad.[4]
Belief goes that a group of Arabs led by Malik Bin Deenar and Malik bin Habib arrived in north Kerala and constructed a Masjid at Kodungalloor, naming it after their contemporary Cheraman Perumal.[5]
The mosque has an ancient oil lamp which always burns and which is believed to be more than a thousand years old. People of all religions bring oil for the lamp as offering. Like most mosques in Kerala, this mosque allows entry for Non-Muslims.[citation needed]. The then president of India Abdul Kalam is among the notable visitors to this mosque.

The zodiac sign is divided into twelve sections, called signs. The first sign is Aries, followed by Taurus, then Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. Each sign is said to represent specific characteristics. Signs are also divided by elements and modalities. Signs are also ruled by planets and are associated with a house.
The zodiac is divided into 12 sections, called Sun signs by astrologers. Each sign is identified by unique characteristics. The Sun sign in astrology is said to represent a person‘s personality, their identity, ego or basic mode of expression. It is one of the most important factors in a person‘s chart and most people will identify with their sun sign descriptions to some extent. The strength of each person Sun Sign can only be determined by looking at chart as a whole.
Various approaches to measuring and dividing the sky are currently used by differing systems of astrology, although the tradition of the Zodiac's names and symbols remain consistent. Western astrology measures from Equinox and Solstice points (points relating to longest, equal and shortest days of the tropical year) , while Jyotish or Vedic astrology measures along the equatorial plane (sidereal year). Precession results in Western astrology's zodiacal divisions not corresponding in the current era to the constellations that carry similar names, while Jyotish measurements still correspond with the background constellations.
In Indian astrology, the twelve signs are associated with constellations, while in Chinese astrology and Western Astrology there is no connection with constellations, as it is simply the line of the equator that is divided into twelve equal segments.
Astrology is not an illusion but a specific branch of Science to study upon the planetary positions and their effects on human‘s life. There are various branches of Indian astrology such as Vedic Astrology, Tantra astrology, Mantra astrology, Lal Kitab, Kali Kitab and Ravan sahinta etc. Astrology is the ancient science in which calculations are done to predict the impact of different - different planetary situations on one‘s life and with different remedies it can also change the rigorousness of these impacts on one‘s life like with astrological remedies the impact of good can be increased and the impact of bad can be decreased; so we can say that Astrology can solve various problems of life including love, relationship and marriage.Love Problems It is proved from ancient times that love is the most important part of life. Without a perfect love relationship every living being is incomplete. Every one of us dreams of having a happy and prosperous life. It is only possible when we have a perfect life partner. Astrology gives you the power and ability to decide and search a perfect partner in true sense. Astrology has all the proofs that the results brought forth are genuine. Life becomes a mess in absence of perfect match. The small mistakes made in the beginning get more speculative as the time passes. It is very necessary to spot the misapprehension and correct it in time. Astrology has got many precise and trustful way of getting out such love problems.
Love is indefinable feeling, means love is unconditional. It is a true feeling which is not expressed by words. This is only to be feeling and there is lots of way to define love and every way says something different about it. Now days this holy name is used as fantasy when they know there is no life without love. Life is successful when you have love in life. But in today‘s time many of us get betrayed by their loved one, some are unable to express their feelings, some wants their ex love back in life when they realize their mistake. So precisely we all have problem regarding to love in life and due to these interruptions, it affects studies, business and relations. Love is really very holy word which in really defines the meaning of life. Because everyone want to get it in their life. Sometimes it is really very difficult for an individual to get it. This compels them to take wrong decision towards life. If one having problem in life regarding love then they can take advice from astrologer. This is quite typical to get true love in life and also to get the one whom you love too much. In this situation astrologer Pandit Mukesh Gaur is prove to be a right person for provide you best solution of love problem. So to get your love back and get all the solution regarding to love problems we provide solution of these type of problem and give a genuine consequence to the client. Love: this four letter word control our entire life. Nobody knows how and when he will fall in love with somebody. Blessed are those who get their love. but what about those who cannot? Life ceases for them, the time stops moving, they are suddenly halted at particular point of time. Life becomes a burden for them. Unsuccessful love breaks havoc on one‘s life.
Mantra to have a Darshan of Hanuman Hanuman Darshan, meaning a vision, sighting or apparition of Hanuman, is the ultimate goal of any devote worshipper of Hanuman. There are many Tantric Sadhanas prescribed for the lifelong Hanuman Bhakts, aspiring to have a vision of Hanuman. However, most of them fail to achieve success, as the Hanuman Darshan Sadhana, involves a lot of courage, faith, dedication and only, a handful are believed to have succeeded. One of the most important things is Brahmacharya, meaning celibacy, and celibacy here means not only physical absenteeism from any kind of physical sexual activity, but also total control over the mind and not letting the thoughts stimulate the senses towards any kind of sexual desire. In short, the Brahmacharya should not be a voluntary suppression of sexual desires, but total control over the senses. Only such a person can succeed in having a Darshan of Hanuman. A simple Hanuman Darshan Hetu Mantra Sadhana is given here in this post, it is uncomplicated, but the most difficult thing to succeed is mentioned above. The Sadhak having a burning desire to have a Darshan of Hanuman should practice this Hanuman Mantra Sadhana under a Peepal tree [Sacred Fig tree]. He should keep a fast on Tuesdays. That is all that is required. The Hanuman Mantra, which is prescribed for the Mantra Japa, is given below. It is one of the more popular of the Hanuman Mantras and also one of the more effective ones.

THE GRACE OF SIDDHA – 61 – DARSHAN OF HANUMAN Posted on May 29, 2014 by GnanaBoomi • 2 Comments The Grace of Siddha series can be read here.
These are not stories. They are real incidents. Read through these and do reflect if anywhere, anything in these series is resonating with your own self. Do you feel any of these telling anything to you? Do you feel yourself that any of the phrase is a reflection of yours? Is there an answer to you in these?! ↔ I was wondering if I am in this earth or have reached another world. Such wondrous things were happening on the hilltop in that scorching heat. No trees, plants or creepers around the Rana Mandalam mountain where Hanuman’s statue was present and it was around 1 PM with the heat at its peak. Suddenly, a cool breeze sweptthrough and the heat disappeared. A divine aroma of enchanting flowers, sandalwood, jasmine, civet perfume, marikozhundhu (southernwood) combined together, filled the air. In the middle of a garden if one experiences the bliss of water droplets scattering over, the same experience was felt. Where was this cool breeze hiding all this while, one wouldn’t know and it began floating. My mind became hasty while I was chanting Sri Rama Jayam. At that time… I was touching the holy feet of Shri Hanuman, the heat felt there earlier had disappeared. It was as if I was touching an ice cube. I was surprised and I opened my eyes. Right in front of my eyes, Shri Hanuman stood, in flesh and blood. I felt a current amounting to thousands of voltage passing in to me through the feet I was touching.It was not a statue of Hanuman I saw, it was He, Hanuman Himself! His eyes looked at me with His hands showing the mudra of blessing (Ashirwadh), with His face glimmering with
Karunya. I looked at Him upwards with my eyelids stopped blinking. He appeared to be breathing in a slow and steady manner.
Thank you Vishnu, for this wonderful art!
It lasted for just two minutes, such a marvelous darshan. What was the current like sensation that passed through me from His feet? I do not know till date. When I touched the feet again, it had turned rocky. Within five minutes, the heat of Rana Mandalam was back and the breeze was not to be felt. Is this some sort of magic, I pinched myself and I was immensely pleased that it was real. It is indeed a miraculous, blissful Deiva Darshan. Aha! How blessed I am! I thought. I conveyed my earnest gratitude and thanks to my parents who are the source of this, particularly to my Mother. I prostrated in front of the holy feet ofHanuman with utmost devotion and thanked Shri Agastya Muni heartfully and opened the Jeeva Nãdi. “O the one who had the blessing of having the darshan of Shri Hanuman, you shall be henceforth called asHanumath Dãsan. With such a rare darshan, you have got the rarest of the blessings in your life. For those who are here, won’t understand even if told about this mountain. For incidents that happened long back, no one would believe that this
Mahodhara Mountain is an importantreason. They may say that it is a cooked up story and ask for proof. Mad people! They only talk that way. But what you got, is a Anandha Darshan” – The Maha Muni gave a brief explanation. I did not feel like getting out of that place. I even thought of staying there for the rest of my life. To have the darshan of Hanuman in this Kali Yuga, is indeed prominent among the miracles of the world. I have committed so many sins knowingly or unknowingly. Still, the Maha Muni had shown me the darshan of Hanuman. What else do I want? I do not know for how long I was seated there. The scorching heat began to come down. Without the mind for getting out from there, I looked at Hanuman again with a pouring heart and thought of starting from there. A flash occurred in me! I took out hundred and one rupee from my bag at once and placed it beneath Hanuman’s feet and placed small stones on all four corners so as to prevent it from flying away – prayed earnestly and began to descend. I did not notice even a single person till I got down. I looked around but found no one. I went to the Ram Temple again. There wasn’t any sign of anyone coming over or have lit up a lamp in the Garbha Gruha or offered anything. I did not feel thirsty or hungry but in fact was doubly charged and getting down faster. I went near the water body again and found the liquor pot in the same place as it was. I drank the water as much as I could and it tasted like Devamrutha. I came down around 6 or 6.30 to Rana Mandalam. I was curious if anyone would talk about the Hanuman on the hilltop. I longed for any additional information about it. Once I had had the darshan of Shri Hanuman, the energy I felt
inside my body had transformed in to an ultimate briskness. I felt everything will happen great with thegrace of God. Where was I, what was I doing, what am I going to do, nothing I felt. Somehow, I came back home in the train. Once I reached, there was a pleasant surprise awaiting for me when my Mother showed me a money-order receipt. It had my name, address and marked the receipt of the 101 rupees I had kept, all written in Telugu. Right below that, “Rama Anjaneya Temple – Ranamandalam”, it said! The experience I had in Mantralaya and Ranamandala mountain, the Divya Darshan of Hanuman I had, receiving the receipt for the money I had kept as an offering the very next day – I was explaining with so much of emotion only to find that no one believed them completely, including my Mother. “We believe in Agastya’s Jeeva Nãdi. But it is hard to believe in such an experience of deiva darshan, it is difficult to digest” – many a people tell me this. “It’s your power of imagination! In this Kali Yuga, the Almightly appearing just like that? For that, are you a person who is immersed in pooja and spiritual practices? All those great souls who are waiting for such a darshan, you got it is it? All these are just sweet lies of yours” – some spiritualistic rationals expressed this openly as well. “We’re very glad to know that Agastya Muni is orchestrating such miracles. But how is it fair to show all these just for you? Even I have seen the Nãdi in so many places. They all ask for the thumb impression to first search for the appropriate suvadi. Even then the sayings are in form of literature Tamil. But your Nãdi is so verydifferent and so I just cannot believe this, I can’t!” – somerelatives say so. “Don’t tell anyone that such things happened. Either you must have gone mad or that you are cheating others in the name of Agastya Nãdi. What’s the matter with you?” – some opined.
“You aren’t making money out of this Nãdi. Then why are you searching for such advertisements for yourself in the name of Prahladha, Ragavendra or Hanuman? Your name will be spoiled out of this” – my friends said this. Above all, my Mother asked me: “You mentioned of Agastya Muni saying that it was because of me that you got the darshan of Hanuman. But for about forty years, I have been writing Sri Rama Jayam everyday. He had to give darshan to me. Why didn’t this happen?” Out of all those, what my Mother said struck hard in me. I do not know completely about Agastya Jeeva Nãdi. Why did it come to my hands? For how long will I be reading it? The rare chances that I got, why didn’t those who came for the reading get? Why is this? If whatever Agastya Muni had said happens just the way it is, then its fair enough, everyone’s happy. But if it did not, they feel that the words of the Almighty Himself has gone wrong. What’s the reason behind this? Whose mistake is this? All such thoughts used to arise in me in the beginning when I had begun to read the Nãdi. At times, I had been in situations where I could not even share what I came to know from the Nadi and feel happy. Why can’t I be normal as others? Why did the Nãdi come to me? From what I read out sometimes spoiled my name and people began to look at me differently. But when my own mother looked at me like that, I felt I should just drop the Nãdi in the river. All the happiness of Rana Mandalam had gone. I wanted to ask this to Agastya Muni Himself but the following days were all Ashtami, Navami, Bharani or Karthigai and so I had to remain silent.
On a Brahma Muhurtha time (between 4.30 AM to 6.00 AM everyday is referred to as Brahma Muhurtha), I prayed and opened the Agastya Jeeva Nadi. “On grieving about the mother not having the darshan of Hanuman, you thought of throwing the Nãdi in to the river. This is like insulting Myself. Leave alone this thought! It is not that the darshan of Hanuman has to happen in Rana Mandala mountain. Even at home, if one offers his prayers even within the mind, He will appear. Everyone knows about it. But not only for your mother, allthose who spoke ill of you, all those rationalists will have a chance of having the darshan of Hanuman in just ten days. Not only that, your mother’s health has started deteriorating. She has been praying to Lord Rama all these days. If We Agastya, the foremost of Siddhas think of calling her along with you to Rana Mandalam to have the darshan of both Sri Rama and Hanuman, they both would agree and will bestow their grace. But thinking of her health, We left it as it is. For her, Hanuman’s darshan will be given indirectly, soon. She will attain the golden feet of Sri Rama before Rama Navami. For her, where is the next birth?” – Sri Agastya gave this detailed narration.
Hanuman Ji’s Darshan, Experience Shared By Devotees
Hare Krishna
Lord Hanuman is considered an ideal of force, power, energy, wisdom, service and devotion to God. That is why in religious scriptures, he is also called as Sakalgunnidhan. Simply put, Lord Hanuman is immortal. In Shri Hanuman Chalisa, Goswami Tulsidas has written – ‗Charo Jug Pratap Tumhara, Hai Prasidh Jagat Ujiara‘. It is clear from this line that Lord Hanuman has been present as a troubleshooter in every age in some form or the other to protect the universe. These things about Lord Hanuman create people‘s faith and reverence in him. Contents [hide]

Hanuman Ji is Immortal and Alive Lord Ram had blessed Hanuman with the boon of being Chiranjeevi (immortal till the end of Kaliyug). In her previous life, Sri Hanumanji‘s mother was Punjikasthala and she was cursed to become a female monkey in next life – a curse could only be nullified if she gave birth to a reincarnation of Sri Shiva. She was reborn as Anjana and performed many yaghs to please Sri Bhagwan Shiv – who finally granted her that boon. Lord Rama Himself said to Sri Hanuman, ―I am greatly indebted to you, You did marvellous, magnanimous deeds. You do not want anything in return. Sugriva has his kingdom restored to him. Angada has been made the crown prince. Vibhishana has become king of Lanka. But you have not asked for anything at any time. You threw away the precious garland of pearls given to you by Sita, not finding my name in it. How can I repay My debt of gratitude to you? I will always remain deeply indebted to you. I give you the boon of everlasting life. All will honour and worship you like Myself. Your murti will be placed at the door of My temple and you will be worshipped and honoured first. Whenever My histories and leelas are recited or glories sung, your glory will be sung before Mine. You will be able to do anything, even that which I will not be able to!‖ Hanuman Ji is still alive and seen by many Saints and Sages in human form or his original avatar.
Ram Bhakt Hanuman Ji‘s Darshan In Human Form Amar Singh Yadav Ji made revelation on people who got darshan of Sri Ram Bhakt Hanuman Ji. One day my gurudev, Sri Swami Girdhari Lal Bhaktamal, went with a group of his disciples to the temple of Gore Dau ji on Parikrama Marg in Vrindavan. A religious ceremony was being held, and during the course of a reference to Hanuman ji, an idea flashed in my mind. ‗Everyone says that Hanuman ji is immortal but nobody says that they have ever seen him. It is natural if a dead person is not seen, but it is strange that an immortal one has not been seen by anyone.‘ I expressed my thoughts to the swamis, but their answers did not satisfy me. My gurudev asked my fellow disciples to go to Neeb Karori Baba‘s ashram to have Hanuman ji‘s darshan. On their return he asked me to go as well. I saw a beautiful temple just in front of the entry to the ashram, but I did not see a murti of Hanuman ji there. Sitting comfortably in the center of the room, facing the open doorway, was a large man wearing a dhoti and a blanket. I assumed that he was the manager of the ashram and that he was waiting for the murti to be brought so that it could be installed. On my return I told Guru Maharaj everything that I had seen. My fellow devotees, who had returned from the temple, expressed their surprise that I had not seen the huge murti of Hanuman ji in the temple. Gurudev said, ―It was the grace of Hanuman ji that he gave you darshan in human form.‖
A few years later I was visiting my brother R.S. Yadav and saw a photograph in his house of the same man as I had seen in Baba Neeb Karori‘s ashram. He looked exactly the same and was dressed in the same way. I pointed to the photograph and told my brother that I had seen him somewhere before. He was very happy to hear the full account of my experience in 1984 and went on to tell me that the photograph was of Baba Neeb Karori, who people recognize as an incarnation of Hanuman ji. He added that Baba left his body in 1973 and that the huge murti of Hanuman ji had been installed in that temple sometime in 1970. My brother also narrated two similar experiences of his friend, Brihaspatidev Triguna Vaidya, another devotee of Baba Neeb Karori. On 24 September 1973 Triguna ji went to Baba‘s ashram in Jaunapur, Delhi, to have prasad on the thirteenth day after Mahasamadhi. After bowing before Hanuman ji‘s murti, he raised his head and saw Baba standing there in place of the murti. He was astonished at the sight and offered pranaam again. When he looked up the second time, he saw Hanuman ji‘s murti. The second incident took place sometime after 1976. Triguna ji went from Delhi to visit Kainchi and stood outside the big marble temple, in which he saw a huge murti of Hanuman. He did not know that he was standing outside Baba‘s temple. For as long as he stood there, he had the darshan of Hanuman ji and not Baba. On returning to Delhi, he told my brother about the big marble temple with the murti of Hanuman ji. My brother told him that, in reality, Baba Neeb Karori‘s murti was in that temple. These events completely removed my doubts.
Nilkantvarni Met Hanuman Ji Personally Its is incident of 17th century during Great Rajmata Ahilyabai Holkar Ji‘s regime. Rajmata was very brave and noble queen, she consumed her own property inherited from forefathers on charity works for her Kingdom. Her personal views on charity can be seen here.
In one of the leelas of Nilkanthvarni, he was being pushed into the river Saryu by Kaushidatta. Nilkanthvarni swam down the river came out on the opposite side some twenty four miles away. He walked for three days through the wild forest, barefooted and without food and water. Nilkanthvarni wondered timelessly and soon fainted from exhaustion. After opening His eyes he saw a river shimmering with the reflection of the setting sun. He bathed in the fresh, clean water, prayed and then sat down to rest. Night soon fell and Nilkanthvarni went into Samadhi. At this time Hanumanji came in child form to have darshan of Nilkanthvarni. Meanwhile, a demon called Bhayrav and his fellow demons were roaming the forest in search of food. They spotted a helpless child from a distance and thought that He would be easy prey to satisfy their hunger. As Nilkanthvarni was still in a trance, Hanumanji saw Bhayrav and his compatriots, stealthily approaching Nilkanthvarni with their mouths watering at the prospect of a good feed. Realising their intentions, Hanumanji caught them and beat them with his mighty mace and tail. The demons retreated, squealing in pain and Hanumanji went back to sit near Nilkanthvarni.
Morning came and Nilkanthvarni came out of his trance. He saw Hanumanji and knowing the events of the previous night, he thanked Ram Bhakt for saving him. Whilst Nilkanthvarni carried out his morning routine and prayers, Hanumanji gathered fruit and berries from the forest for Nilkanthvarni. Nilkanthvarni ate this offering with great satisfaction. Being very humble and always ready to protect Shri Vishnu Bhakts, Hanumanji requested Nilkanthvarni to call upon him at any time of need so he could have an opportunity to serve Him and seek His divine blessings. Also check How Hanuman Ji created the Bermuda Triangle which is still mystery for the world.
Hanuman Ji gave Darshan to Tulsidas Ji This incident occurred in 15th century. Tulsidas hints at several places in his works, that he had met face to face with Hanuman and Rama. The detailed account of his meetings with Hanuman and Rama are given in the Bhaktirasbodhini of Priyadas. According to Priyadas‘ account, Tulsidas used to visit the woods outside Varanasi for his morning ablutions with a water pot. On his return to the city, he used to offer the remaining water to a certain tree. This quenched the thirst of a Preta (a type of ghost believed to be ever thirsty for water), who appeared to Tulsidas and offered him a boon. Tulsidas said he wished to see Rama with his eyes, to which the Preta responded that it was beyond him. However, the Preta said that he could guide Tulsidas to Hanuman, who could grant the boon Tulsidas asked for. The Preta told Tulsidas that Hanuman comes everyday disguised in the mean attire of a leper to listen to his Katha, he is the first to arrive and last to leave.
That evening Tulsidas noted that the first listener to arrive at his discourse was an old leper, who sat at the end of the gathering. After the Katha was over, Tulsidas quietly followed the leper to the woods. In the woods, at the spot where the Sankat Mochan Temple stands today, Tulsidas firmly fell at the leper‘s feet, shouting ―I know who you are‖ and ―You cannot escape me‖. At first the leper feigned ignorance but Tulsidas did not relent. Then the leper revealed his original form of Hanuman and blessed Tulsidas. When granted a boon, Tulsidas told Hanuman he wanted to see Rama face to face. Hanuman told him to go to Chitrakuta where he would see Rama with his own eyes. At the beginning of the Ramcharitmanas, Tulsidas bows down to a particular Preta and asks for his grace (Ramcharitmanas, Doha 1.7). According to Rambhadracharya, this is the same Preta which led Tulsidas to Hanuman. Tulsidas Ji is the composer of the great Hanuman Chalisa which is very powerful source of generating positive energy.
Hanuman Ji‘s Darshan in Vedic Texts and Vishnu‘s Leela Everyone knows about Hanumanji and the major contribution by him, around 2 million years ago, during the Sir Ram‘s exile and his support in battle with Ravan. After the war, and after reigning for several years, the time arrived for Rama to depart to his heavenly abode. Many of Rama‘s entourage, decided to depart with him including vanaras like Sugriva. However, shunning the heavens, Hanuman requested to remain on earth for as long as Rama‘s name is venerated by people. Sita accorded Hanuman that wish, and granted that his image will be installed at various public places, so he could listen to people chanting Rama‘s name. He is thus one of the chiranjeevis (immortals) in Hinduism.
Proof From Mahabharat – Bheem Meeting Hanuman Ji HanumanJi has shown his presence even during Mahabharatha which is believed to have happened during the time of Lord Krishna only 5000 years ago.
Bheem & Hanuman When the Pandavas were in the forest, Draupadi requested Bheema for a Saugandhika flower of heavenly fragrance. Bheema went forth i nto the forest to bring it. As Bheema was walking fast with long strides, he saw a monkey‘s tail across his path. He angrily shouted, ―You ape, remove your tail and clear my way.‖ The monkey slowly looked at Bheema and said, ―My dear man, I am very old and can‘t even move. Push my tail away and walk on.‖ Bheema was angry, amused and full of contempt. Was it what an unequalled hero like him should do? He tried to push the tail with his mace. But nothing happened. Try as he would, he could not even move that old tail. Then his mind grew clear and it dawned on him that this was not any ordinary monkey but could be Hanuman. With folded hands he begged his pardon.
Krishna & Hanuman Eager to be of service to another avatar of Lord Vishnu(Krishna), Hanuman attached himself to the flag of Arjuna‘s chariot, whose charioteer in the Mahabharatha war was Krishna. He thus had the fortune of hearing the Gita as recited by Sri Krishna himself, the only other people having the opportunity being Arjuna, Sanjaya and Dhritarashtra.
Arjun & Hanuman Once on his pilgrimage to visit sacred places Arjun met Hanuman at Rameswaram. Arjun over-confident about himself said, ―Sir Ram need not have asked the monkeys to build a bridge. If I were there that time, I would have built a bridge with arrows.‖ ―A bridge of your arrows! Leave alone the Vanara army, it will crumble under my feet‖ replied Hanuman. Well, it developed into a challenge. It was decided that Arjun should erect a bridge with his arrows and Hanuman should walk on it. If the bridge collapsed, Arjuna should jump into fire; otherwise, Hanuman must adorn Arjun‘s banner. Arjuna built a bridge with his arrows. No sooner did Hanuman set one foot on it than it broke into pieces. Arjuna got ready to jump into the fire. Just then, Shri Krishn reached there. He asked them to repeat their performances. When Arjun erected the arrow-bridge, Krishn touched the bridge with his divine hands as if to test it. Then when Hanuman danced on it heavily, it did not even shake. Hanuman was shocked and then realised that Krishn is none other than Rama. Hanuman kept his word and entered Arjun‘s banner.
Presence of Hanuman Hanuman is a Chiranjeevi, he is immortal. There have been numerous saints who have seen Hanuman in modern times, notably Tulsidas (16th century), Sri Ramdas Swami (17th century), and Raghavendra Swami (17th century). Many others have also testified to his presence wherever the Ramayana is read.
Hanuman Ji Photographed Alive Being one of the Avatar of Bhagwan Shiv, Hanuman Ji has power of changing forms and size of his body. The incident occurred in recent 21st century itself. The picture was purportedly taken of Hanuman in a cave at Manasarovar Lake (Kailash) in the Himalayas during 1998 summer. On Sunday the 9th May, 1999, this strange picture of Hanuman reading the Ramayana, was first seen in the house of Sri V. Srinivasan at Rohini in North-West Delhi, and from there this picture got populated across internet. V Srinivasan said ―it is one of the few originals of the Hanuman photos.‖ The government of India every year during the summer ―before the onslaught of monsoon‖, gives permissions after medical check up, to selected individuals and send them in groups to Manasarovar Lake near Kailash. Such groups necessarily will consist of different nationalities, and different people from different regions of India.
A group of people went to Manasarovar for a piligrimage trip. One person from the group of devotees taking the picture saw a light inside a cave, photoed that light and died there on spot for reasons not known (this part every one is confirming who went along). Later the friends developed the roll from the camera and got this print!. It is a fact that Hanuman does exist in this Kaliyuga, our present age, since he is a Chiranjeevi (immortal).
Enter Your Name
ANCIENT GODS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Hannah M. G. Shapero Here is the question a correspondent asked me: “What ever happened to the Greek and Roman gods? “When you consider how the Jews still worship approximately the same god as they did 3000 years ago and ditto the Hindus (plural), it would seem that gods are
durable, even ineradicable cultural objects. Christians and Muslims routinely and famously die rather than give up their faith. The classical gods were sure-enough gods, while they lasted, with temples and priests and followers. What happened to them? Where are the followers of Zeus and Apollo? Did they just hang it up? Did isolated pockets hold out into more recent times? Were there martyrs, Marranos, secret temples? Are they still worshiped under other names?” This is a question which has many answers. There is no “true” answer to the question, only ones which you feel are more or less convincing. These answers fall into categories: philosophical, historical, theological, and finally something which might be described as “poetic virtual reality.” I will start with the philosophical. First, you have to define “gods.” I’ll stick with the basic, popular definition of a “god” (as opposed to “God.”) This is a being, usually non-material, which has supernatural powers to direct and control reality, and with whom human beings can have a relationship. The concept of a “god” is still in our language, and if language defines reality (as many modern philosophers will say), then the “gods” have not gone anywhere, nor ceased to exist. As long as language still names them, they still have existence. The philosopher then might add, Does an entity, especially a non-material one, exist if no one believes in it? If it is true that no one still “believes in” Zeus, does “Zeus” still exist? Just because it is named, does it have to exist? You can probably think of all sorts of things which people once named and believed in, which no longer “exist” – such as phlogiston, or the gold standard. Are these things gone forever once they pass out of living human consciousness? An idealist philosopher would say, yes, once consciousness, which is our only way of interacting with the world, ceases to perceive or even remember something, then that something might as well be gone for good, and is. So there is a philosophical way to conclude that if no one believes or thinks of Zeus and his kind any more, then the old gods are gone for good. To say that the gods are still around because they are part of written culture, rather than living belief, brings us back to the first answer, which is that they are part of language. And language, along with culture, “creates” reality. I will have much more to say about this later on in this essay. A more fruitful way to explore whether the old gods still exist is to look at them from a historical standpoint. Classical scholars and archaeologists spend lifetimes uncovering and explaining to modern folk, the relics and evidence of ancient civilizations. There is a great deal of material remaining, both in texts and in ruins and artifacts, about the old Greek and Roman gods and how they were worshipped. Texts can explain not only how the ancients worshipped, but often how the ancients felt about their religion, those intangible factors which simple archaeology can’t always reveal. Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind about the history of religion is that ideas about God and gods change, and that different groups can view the same
religion and deities in very different ways. Another thing that’s important to realize when talking about ancient religions is that we in the modern world cannot help but see ancient religion through eyes conditioned by our own religious experience, which is almost always within the great Western monotheisms: Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. Given this, it’s necessary to talk a bit about how ancient polytheists viewed their gods. We modern monotheists assume that if a god is divine, that god is divine everywhere and is the same everywhere. But in the ancient world, that wasn’t necessarily true. For ancient believers, gods were often local and tribal. You worshipped any number of small local divinities, and if there was a major divinity shared by a region, (such as Zeus) you might be more likely to worship the Zeus of your neighborhood, rather than one universal Zeus. The same would go for the other gods and goddesses – often a local divinity would be blended (the official word is “conflated”) with the major divinity so that your village or city had its own Diana, its own Venus, etc. Similarly, a god was thought to be the god only of an ethnic tribe or clan, and often was in conflict with the gods of other ethnic tribes and clans. You find this situation even in the early books of the Old Testament, where YHVH, the One God of the Jews, was in historical reality not the One God of the Universe but only that of the Hebrew tribes in their struggle against the gods of other tribes. “Thou shalt not have any other gods before me” doesn’t mean that the other gods didn’t exist – it meant that you should not worship them. The idea of a single, universal Divine entity, whether Zeus or another god, did exist in the ancient world. Quite early on, the Pre-socratic Greek philosophers of the 6th and 5th centuries BCE speculated about a single principle or being which would cover every divine (and material) phenomenon. And much earlier (perhaps as early as 1500 BCE) in a far distant place, Central Asia, the prophet Zarathushtra proclaimed his message of one supreme and universal God, Ahura Mazda (which means, the “Wise Lord”). This teaching became the basis of the Zoroastrian religion of Persia, which by 500 BCE had spread westward to the shores of the Mediterranean with the Persian Empire. It is likely that the early Greek philosophers of the Eastern Mediterranean had some knowledge of Zoroastrian teachings since they lived in Persian-occupied territory. From these beginnings, the idea of a universalist monotheism with One Big God took root in Western civilization – but mainly among the learned and the philosophically minded. To a philosophical devotee, Zeus, Aphrodite, Artemis, the gods and goddesses of what are known as the “Olympian pantheon,” were all just manifestations of this one big impersonal God principle – transparent names and images, rather than real beings. You went along with temple worship because it was a civic duty, but your own religious life dealt with the philosopher’s abstract God. For the majority of the people throughout ancient times (and up to modern times too!) religion was not philosophical. You prayed to and worshipped the god of your home, your family, your clan, your tribe, your region – without much thought
to universalist Big Gods. The “Olympian pantheon” was important mainly for civic and imperial religion, big public ceremonies. Your own personal religion was not “Olympian” but local and personal. Only if you had the notion to join a mystery cult – which featured fancy rites and a taste of esoteric philosophy along the lines of what would be called “New Age” nowadays – would a layperson share the beliefs of the philosophers. Elsewhere on the borders of the Persian Empire, another religious change was taking place which would have major consequences for the development of Western religion. In the 6th century BCE, the intellectuals and the elite of the Jewish people were taken into captivity in what is now Mesopotamia (Babylon) – or Iraq - but was then Persian territory. These Jewish folk, despite their exile, survived in their new home but their religion of necessity changed. The tribal God of the Hebrews had not protected them against conquest by a foreign power, and their temple, the only place where YHVH could be properly worshipped, had been destroyed. How could they sing YHVH’s hymns in a pagan country (as in Psalm 137)? The Jewish faith changed forever in exile. They began to conceive of God not just as a tribal protector, but as a single universal Divinity which would bring justice to all nations. And this God could be worshipped anywhere, with songs of praise and prayer, rather than just sacrifices in a single temple. This universalist monotheism, and many other aspects which would re-surface in later Judaism and Christianity, was also influenced by the Persian religion of Zarathushtra which the Jewish exiles encountered. Jews and Zoroastrians were both monotheists in a polytheist world. And Zoroastrians had found a way to reconcile the One God with the many gods of the polytheists. Though Ahura Mazda was the single supreme God, the pagan gods of the Indo-Iranians had been “recycled” into “yazatas,” (“worship-able ones”) semi-divine beings, created by the One God to serve him in the battle against evil. Thus the Persians reconciled the One with the many. Jews were present in many of the cities of the ancient Mediterranean, especially in Roman times, but they were in general not an aggressively proselytizing lot. But when Christianity hit the scene, the religious balance of power began to change. Christianity brought with it the universalist monotheism of Judaism, the good/evil dualism of Zoroastrianism, and a level of aggressive missionary zeal which was new to the ancient world. Among “pagans” (literally, “those from the countryside”), Gods tended to be interchangeable and blendable, as I have mentioned above. Your Zeus was close enough to my Zeus so that we were probably worshipping the same deity – and if you came from a different culture, as happened in Asia Minor when Persian and Greek met, your sun-god Mithra is the same as my sun-god Apollo. So there weren’t too many religious wars in the ancient world – you could always reconcile one god with another or even put them together, as the Greeks did in Egypt when they blended Greek and Egyptian gods in Hellenistic times (c. 330 BCE to turning of millennium to CE). But when the Christians came on the scene, they believed that the other gods were not only not to be worshipped, but were evil and needed to be destroyed.
“Thou shalt have no other god before me!” for a universal rather than a tribal God, meant that NO other god was worth worshipping. By the fourth century CE, Christianity had become the state religion of the Roman Empire, and was enforced throughout the Empire, even though many people still held out for their pagan gods. Those who did, interestingly, often were philosophical intellectual types, who believed in that universal, abstract God I talked about earlier. They didn’t need another universal God, they already had one. And in the “pagan” countryside, the locals accepted Christianity and then promptly went back to worshipping their local godlings. This last bit is important for finally answering the question, “Where did the old gods go.” Remember that Zoroastrians, despite Zarathushtra’s admonishment in his original scriptures to reject other Gods and worship only Ahura Mazda, had found a way to re-assimilate the old gods into the new religion as “angels” or “guardian spirits.” This process of assimilation went on in newly Christianized Europe and continues to go on wherever the great monotheisms have spread. Despite official fulminations about “Only One God – One Way – Other Gods are Demons!” most of the Christianized world has assimilated its original, local pagan divinities and rites into the newer religion, and has done so in the Mediterranean for almost two thousand years. You can still see, in Greece and Italy, little shrines in the countryside or the city, with a statue of the Virgin Mary or a saint in them, and sometimes flowers and candles offered by worshippers. The things that have changed about these shrines after the advent of Christianity is the name of the “divinity,” the appearance of the statue, and the nature of the ritual – usually, Christians don’t sacrifice animals any more. But it’s still a place to worship, that puts you in touch with God. Similarly, with the local cults of various saints, it’s most likely that before the saint came along, that local cult was devoted to a local god. This is true in Islam as well; despite the essential belief of Islam that there is but One God, Allah, the Islamic world contains many holy sites where miracles took place or where saints are buried. These sites, despised by purist clergy, nevertheless attract people and serve the same purpose that the pre-Islamic shrines, possibly in the same places, used to serve. Mediterranean people are practical. They go along with whatever religion works, as long as they don’t have to change their ways too much. Therefore, those who might have worshipped Diana or Venus in Roman times, now put their flowers in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary. It’s Mary who is their helper now, but the Goddess concept is still very much lurking underneath that blue robe, even if a peasant believer would be horrified if you suggested that she was doing something other than Christian. Even the learned clergy and theologians of some Christian denominations admit that many Goddess-figures worshipped all over the Mediterranean were assimilated into the figure of the Virgin Mary. So where did the Old Gods go, from a historical point of view? They didn’t go anywhere. They just changed their names and their appearance, and continued to be worshipped by devotees under their new guise. I have seen in Rome, for instance, a majestic statue of the Virgin Mary called the “Madonna del Parto”
(Madonna of Birth) which consists of a Roman marble statue of the goddess Juno, with a Renaissance head of Mary replacing the old goddess’ head. Women still come to this statue to pray for children and easy births, as they have done for two thousand years, whether it was Juno or Mary. However, as “modernization” spreads through the world and religion in general wanes as an influence, at least in Europe, these “pagan” survivals are disappearing. In the USA, the Protestantism of the white settlers did not have a popular (though officially forbidden) habit of assimilating Native or aboriginal features, as the Catholicism of Europe and South America did. Instead, Indians were converted to Christianity or slaughtered (or died of introduced diseases) and their cultures, including their religions, were destroyed. Though there is now interest in reviving these ancient ways, many of them – and their tribal divinities and worship – are gone for good. Are the gods (if one can talk of “gods”) of the ancient Native Americans still alive? We are left with the same question we asked in the beginning, after two thousand years of assimilation which may now be coming to an end with the spread of rationalistic modernism (at least in Europe) which recognizes no “gods” or God at all, or intolerant Evangelicalism which wishes to destroy old gods rather than re-cycle them. Where did the old gods go? To bring us to another group of answers, we must leave history and go to theology. Theology, rather than economics, is the “dismal science.” I find few things less conducive to religious inspiration than studying theology, but like economics, it can tell us a great deal. To talk about God and “the gods,” we need to talk about monotheism. I have already described at least three types of monotheism. There’s local monotheism, that is, there is One God but it’s the God of our tribe, not yours. Then there’s what I might call “catholic” (with a small “c,” meaning open to other influences) monotheism which says that there is One God but other Gods can lend their aspects to worship and even stay on as long as they are demoted to angels or saints. And then there’s absolute monotheism – there is One God, and there are NO OTHERS – every other “god” is either a demon or doesn’t exist at all, just an illusion. Let’s add to these monotheisms, “philosophical” monotheism. One common type of this monotheism allows for a God, but it is an impersonal, abstract sort of God, who set the universe in motion and designed all its rules and laws. After Creation, this God has stepped back and allows the universe to run on its own as it was designed to do. This God, the God of the Deists, isn’t personal – it won’t hear or answer prayers, it has no story or appearance or personality, and it can’t change reality from the way it is supposed to lawfully proceed. It neither loves nor hates – it’s just there, and very remote. Another type of philosophical monotheism says that not only is there a God, but that God is identical with the whole World – God IS the Universe, and everything is God. God is then thought of as a kind of universal “energy” which manifests in the diversity of the cosmos, but that diversity is ultimately an illusion because everything ultimately is made of Godstuff. This is the monotheism (also called “monism”) of Hindu philosophers and
also of the Jewish philosopher Spinoza. We must not forget another type of monotheism, namely atheism, or in its milder form, agnosticism. Atheism is monotheism, because if you believe in Nothing, there is only one Nothing! Atheists, like absolute monotheists, declare that there are no gods worthy of worship because they don’t exist. They just delete one more God, the God of absolute monotheism. So for Atheists, no gods exist, and no gods ever existed – anything that went by the name of God or “god” or Zeus or Artemis was an illusion from the beginning. This is one answer to where the “old gods” went – they never existed in the first place! This answer is more popular than you might think, and is probably the answer most scientists or academics would give you. So if you are a Monotheistic Believer, here is a selection of answers you can give to the question, “Where did the old Olympian gods go?” If you’re a “local” monotheist, a position that is still widely held (One Nation, Under God), the old gods are someone else’s gods, who are not really gods but primitive imaginings or even hallucinations of superstitious people who have not come to accept Our One True God. Therefore the old gods were never really gods, only bad ideas in the minds of people who will forget them as soon as they have accepted the true religion. If you are a “catholic” monotheist (though not necessarily a Catholic!), the old gods were not beings in themselves, but the glimmerings of religious understanding among pre-scientific peoples. The myths, art, literature, and philosophy of the people who believed in those old gods still contain much of value which God (the One True Universal God) imparted to those people even before Monotheism arose. These partial truths, which are called by Eastern Orthodox thinkers, the “seeds of wisdom,” could be found among pagans or nonChristians, and can be assimilated and preserved by monotheistic believers, even though the gods of the pagans must be rejected. Did they exist? Are they gone now? Rather like the “local” monotheists, the more catholic monotheists would say that they were dim, early images of the divine, created by a previous civilization that has now been superseded. But the best, the truest parts of that older civilization, live on inside the new, true religion. Both the above positions are compatible with a moderate form of absolute monotheism. But for some of the more fanatical absolute monotheists, among whom can be counted radical Evangelicals and other fundamentalists, the old gods did exist, but they were demons. They were actually evil beings, sent by Satan to deceive people. They were idols – false things worshipped by ignorant people. Once the true monotheism has arrived, there is no excuse to worship these idols. Therefore they must be smashed, and Christianity and Islam have done a lot of smashing over the years. Do they still exist? Yes, the way Satan and the demons still exist. Though we must fight them at every opportunity, they will exist until the end of time, until the final victory of God will send all false gods and idols into the abyss where they will either disappear completely or stay in Hell along with those that God has judged worthy of eternal punishment. Interestingly, this view is closer
to the attitude of many early Christians than the moderate views of most modern Christians. If you are a Deistic type, you might regard those old gods as quaint and colorful manifestations of the primitive human imagination, but ultimately they had no substance – so, as with other monotheists, the old gods never really existed as gods. So they have never gone anywhere – they never were, rather like shadows disappearing at the advent of Deistic dawn. For a monist, however, these Gods, like everything else in manifestation, were God – they existed within the unified Divine Energy. Gods were God, worshippers were God, all was, and is, ultimately One Existence. So far we’ve examined some common monotheistic attitudes towards the existence or nonexistence of the old polytheistic gods. But what about polytheists? Are there any? Does anyone still believe nowadays in the Olympian gods of the Mediterranean – either because their beliefs have survived since ancient times, or because they have taken these beliefs up again? Even though some folks claim an unbroken tradition from ancient times, there is no good evidence for any “original” Pagan worshippers in Europe or the Mediterranean still going about the business of sacrificing to Zeus or Apollo. That does not mean that Pagan-derived worship has disappeared, as I said above, only that it has been transformed into something that is at least marginally acceptable in a Christian or Islamic environment. But at least since the Renaissance, there has been among intellectuals, artists, and cultural revolutionaries, a tendency towards “neo-Paganism.” Renaissance thinkers like the Florentine Marsilio Ficino, for instance (late 15th century) actually proposed and performed ceremonies in honor of Venus, Jupiter, and other gods considered benevolent, under the guise of astrology – for the gods were also planets believed to have influences on human life. And yet Ficino was a devout Catholic! This “neo-paganism” of the Renaissance and early modern times was something done among the elite and the elegant, rather than the original idea of rustic paganism among peasants. During the later centuries, some eccentrics, occultists, and poets made cultural scandal by openly admitting to worshipping pagan gods – though some of this was more of a daring pretense than a real act of worship. The Romantic movement of the 19th century, with its challenges to bourgeois religion and morality, was a strong impetus to this kind of defiance. The modern movement of neo-paganism has its roots in these Romantic and late 19th-century explorations. By the beginning of the 20th century, movements like Theosophy, which attempted to unify the mystical teachings of Hinduism, Buddhism and Western occultism, had influenced the non-mainstream religious and artistic world. Theosophy recognized the value of all religions, including the ancient paganisms, while promoting its own universalist, eclectic blend of east and west. Similarly, the Swiss thinker Carl Jung (1875-1961), borrowing heavily from earlier occult philosophies like alchemy, advanced a theory of archetypes which attempted to explain why so many similar mythological figures appear in unconnected cultures over long periods of time. Jung’s archetypes often referred specifically to old gods,
especially the Olympian pantheon of Greece and Rome. While Jung never actually worshipped these gods, he may have taken part in occult rituals which could be considered neo-pagan. The modern neo-pagan movement began in postwar England, among groups of unconventional types who drew on Theosophy, Jung, Western occultism, Freemasonry, and the work of anthropologist Margaret Murray, who promoted the theory (now considered dubious) that pre-Christian pagan religion survived in northern Europe as “witchcraft.” From these English ritualists came the first openly polytheist modern religion, now known as “Wicca.” Wicca, though it presents itself as a re-surfacing of a submerged but continuous tradition, is more accurately a revival and re-construction of what modern ritualists and believers think might have been ancient pagan religion. Even this has been heavily diluted and modernized to fit the laws and culture of the modern world – for instance, Wiccans do not sacrifice animals. Wicca and a myriad of other neo-pagan offshoots do resemble ancient paganism, though, in that they are local in reach and highly diverse in belief. You would have difficulty getting any kind of universal doctrine that fits all Neo-pagans. So, to get back to our question, do these Neo-pagans worship many gods? Do they believe that the old gods, the Olympian gods, still exist and are worthy of worship? Wiccans that I have talked to don’t believe in many Gods, though they don’t rule them out. They are more likely to believe in two Gods, or rather, a “God” and a “Goddess,” representing the principles of opposite genders working in complementarity. But often, a Wiccan will admit to a more “monistic” point of view, in that they believe that God and Goddess are really One, and in fact everything else is, too. I often say that if you scratch a Wiccan, you will get a liberal monotheistic Protestant, who has added some popular Hinduism (reincarnation, karma, and monism) to the mix. This is not as silly as it sounds, as most Wiccans come from an Anglo-American culture in which various types of Protestantism are dominant – yet they also inherit the colonialist legacy of adopting ideas from “exotic Eastern religions.” Are there any Neo-pagans who believe in multiple Gods – really believe in them? Yes, and they are able to pick the pantheon of their choice. Some who are fascinated with Norse culture choose (or claim to be chosen by) the gods of the North: Odin, Thor, Freya, even trickster Loki. Neo-paganism in the USA and Britain is heavily dependent on Celtic culture, portrayed in a highly idealized manner, and some “Celtic” pagans profess belief in old Irish gods and goddesses. Others, including some African-Americans, have picked up the ancient Egyptian pantheon and offer services to Isis, Osiris, and Horus. Have any neo-pagans chosen the old Olympian gods? Yes, there are Roman and Greek revivalists who claim to have returned to the worship of Zeus, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, or their Roman counterparts. These classical neo-pagans are involved in other revivalist activities like Roman re-enactment, costuming, cooking from Roman recipes, crafts, and antiquarian research. They keep in touch with each other through Internet, an ancient communications device only recently recovered from the undersea ruins of
Atlantis. So here’s yet another answer to whether anyone still worships the old Olympian gods: yes! They may not be “original” believers – they’re most likely computer programmers living near large American cities – but they are sincere. Not only do they believe that the old gods exist, they believe that Zeus, Apollo, or other Roman or Greek deities can answer prayers, give prophetic dreams, comfort the worshipper in affliction, bring good fortune, or even heal illnesses. They don’t have the elaborate temple structure and priesthood that the ancient religion had – their numbers and resources are far too small for that. But these neo-Olympians will build little shrines and personal altars, at which they burn candles and incense, and offer simple gifts like small cakes and flowers, much as the ancients did at their own niches. Yes, ancient worship lives again. But I’m not going to end here. The main question has not been answered, at least not to my satisfaction. You can worship anything – Zeus, Apollo, Thor, Isis, Elvis, but is what you are worshipping real? Is it still there? Proving God’s existence is impossible, and proving a lesser god’s existence equally impossible – but can a god die? Can something that was once worshipped disappear into oblivion? Popular legends and stories tell of ethereal beings, such as the fairy “Tinkerbell,” whose very existence depends on the belief of human beings. When people cease to believe in these sweet spirits, they disappear into non-existence, like bubbles. Are the gods the same way? If no one believes in them, as I said earlier in this essay, do gods die? If not, then what lives on? For this answer, I must cross over into the realm of esotericism, that field of philosophy and art which is the soft underbelly of Western culture. To talk seriously of esotericism means death to an academic career, but I’m not in any danger because I don’t have an academic career. Esotericism, which I’ve mentioned in regard to theosophy and Jung, is the other side of monotheistic absolutism. It’s the dusty attic where all the ideas that didn’t make it into mainstream religion get stored. Fortunately, the much-maligned postmodern movement in philosophy, along with the modern experience of “cyberspace” and “virtual reality”, has come along to rescue some of this material and bring it into the light. One of the things that comes from esotericism is a view of “reality” which is not dualistic. When the average rationalist thinker considers “reality,” he will likely break it into “real” and “unreal.” Similarly, if he is a religious believer of some sort, he will break reality into “physical” and “spiritual.” Horses are real, Pegasus is unreal. Dogs are physical, angels are spiritual. Reality conveniently fits into these pairs of dualisms. Or does it? What if there were another layer of reality which was neither real nor unreal? The French scholar of mystical Islam, Henri Corbin (mid-20th century) gave this layer of reality the name “imaginal world.” It is originally a Neo-Platonic concept, which was adopted by the Sufis. Plato imagined a world of pure archetypes, where the ideal perfect prototypes of all objects reside. The esoteric Sufis conceived of a middle world, between the mundane world of stones and soup and the Platonic
world of pure concepts and ideals like Love, Truth, and Goodness. In this middle world, the “imaginal” world, reside all the things which are mythical, which are the product of human imagination, and things which are the echoes of our “real” world seen in dreams or art. In the imaginal world, all these things are as real as things in the real world. There are dragons and damsels, spaceships and wizards, peaceful utopias and hellish dystopias. There are cities of crystal and cities of monsters, golden apples and laughing cats. All these things and more are in the Imaginal World. And the gateway to this world is human creativity and human imagination. This is how we reach it, and this is how we navigate through it. Are there things in the Imaginal World which people have NOT made up? The believers say, probably. The demons and the hells of torment, the paradises and the angels of delight, may reside here, as well as the saints, heroes, and villains of legend. There are places both terrifying and joyous, beings malevolent and gracious – and every moral shade in between. Sherlock Holmes lives here, and so does Dracula. Helen of Troy visits with Faust again; Humpty Dumpty gets put back together. There are infinite possibilities here, and it is just as possible that explorers of the Imaginal World are discovering things, as it is that they are making things up. Or so a believer would say. To old-fashioned rationalists, the Imaginal World is just another name for “silly fairy-tales,” “fabricated myth,” or “delusions,” or “hallucinations.” But in our modern age, we have yet another name for this Imaginal World: “virtual reality.” We are just beginning to understand how computer technology and the Atlantean Internet are changing our lives. “Virtual reality” twenty years ago was something out of science fiction. Now it is something we do every day, if we have that vital connection. We encounter images, people, things on our screens which we give a reality to without actual evidence that they are real. Video games give us a dazzlingly rendered illusion not only of entering another world but actually acting inside it. The screen has become our gateway to an electronically created Imaginal World. Quite a number of authors have already made the connection between the esotericists’ imaginal world, the occultists’ “astral plane” (basically the same concept) and the virtual reality of a computer network. It is becoming harder and harder to be an old-fashioned rationalist dualist – though there are still plenty of them to be found. To me, this is the best answer to where the old gods have gone. They are not the

Assurance from a Saintly priest of Hanuman and Sai very happily nodding head and kissing the palm of devotee who shows aarti Posted by venkatraman on 1/20/13 • Categorized as Dwarakamai Sairam friends, I am writing this Shirdi Sai baba experience as soon as i woke up after a very very sweet and surprising dream.
Worries about my relationship: After many years of sufferings, Saibaba blessed me with a very good girl who‘s also a Sai devotee on Maha Samadhi day of 2011. Somehow we got close and were praying sai to tell our parents by his leela. I told my parents who wants us to get married but since she‘s still doing her studies, my parents feel its not nice to ask her parents if we can meet. There were lots of misunderstandings in our house as they feel, i am spoiling her studies. They feel it won‘t happen practically as her parents won‘t accept. I did parayan of Sai Satcharitra – the complete big version of 800 pages in Tamil called Sai Ramayanam and kept praying Sai Baba to do leela to unite our families.
shirdi sai baba statue in which sai came alive and kissed the palm happily
Darshan of Hanuman : Yesterday evening, i went to Saibaba temple in my home town and was too sad all the day. It really kills me that i am neither able to give happiness to my old parents nor the girl i love. She‘s also in pain and at times we ask baba, its better if we had not met. She was also sick with cold and fever and i argued a lot with her. I walked to Sakthi Dham mandir – The north indian temple of Goddess where there‘s Ganesha, Sakthi , Ram -Sita, Radhe -Krishna, Lord Shiva and my favorite Hanuman. The priest of Hanuman is close to me. He gave prasad and asked me when i am going to call him for marriage. I told him ask Hanuman and he pointed to the shiva lingam opposite to us. I walked back to Sai baba temple and then reached home. I saw a movie on Youtube about saint Dhyaneswar who lived in 12th century (black and white movie made in 1940). I was sleeping all through the movie but felt atleast watching such divine movies sends a good positive vibration in my house.
Blessed with a beautiful dream of Shirdi Saibaba and Hanuman I slept remembering Sainath friends at around 1 o clock in night. Early morning i was blessed with the following dream… I see myself and my friend Kavi going to a very beautiful temple. There‘s huge steps resembling stair case of Sakthi Dham mandir. While we go near the main temple, Kavi being a designer says that they must have constructed temple with more architectural work. Then we worship Goddess Sakthi in the temple.
Hanuman, Ram and Sita blessings for happy married life
Hanuman temple with a very saintly priest giving me prasad: I turn back and see two sannidhi in front of temple .Its writen – Ram – Sita I saw Kavi ‖ I will go and pray Radha – Krishna . I walk to that sannidhi and was surprised to see Hanuman. A saintly priest is sitting there doing pooja for Hanuman. I could understand he has divine ways to give devotees solution. So i say him ―I am in love with a girl who‘s still doing her studies and since my parents are weak and old, they want me to get married soon. I am in a situation that i want both my parents and the girl to be happy. So sai baba must do leela to unite our families‖ The priest throws me a very peculiar flower. It‘s white in color and i remember such flowers while i was a kid near Ganesha temple. The priest giving me this 2 flowers as prasad with very positive assurance that we will get married by Hanuman‘s grace. A out house in temple where i see our family friends I see myself in the out house of temple where i see our family friends. They give me coffee and say why don‘t you stay back for Guru Pooja. I say, ya in chennai, i must go to Ramakrishna temple or Shirdi Sai baba temple or such Hanuman temple for Guru pooja. They insist i stay back for Guru pooja that evening and get blessings.
I see my uncle and aunt showing Aarti to Shirdi Sai Baba statue: The dream continues…. I see myself inside my uncles home in Chennai. They have a Sai baba Statue for which pooja is being done with devotion. I see my aunt very eagerly showing aarti to Sai baba statue. When Aarti is shown, its truly very very cute to see Baba is nodding his head in statue itself. The way he nods his head was too exited – a continuous to and fro movement. As he he is very happy when a devotee whole heartedly worships him, Sai comes alive into the statue. Then i see the Hanuman priest taking the aarti lamp and showing aarti very close to saibaba statue. You know what friends… I saw Sai very beautifully turning his head down and kissing the palm of the priest. Oh my God. How can i write what i saw in dream. Such a saint who loves his devotees by coming alive into the statue, nodding his head and even kissing the palm. Where on earth can we get a saint like Sai who is very happy and exited when we worship him with devoted mind and pure love. Then i say my uncle,
” Saibaba statue is nodding head and Sai even kissed your friends (priest) palm. Did you notice. My mama says ” I don’t know all that. I just know Baba loves us. “ This is more surprising friends. Seems baba had shown this vision only to me and i thanked Baba from bottom of my heart. My father opened my room door with coffee. I woke up, went near Baba , joined my palm togather, touched the Sai in my house… I washed my face, played Kakad Aarti in my computer and started writing this experience. I am sure Sai will soon do a leela to unite our families and my girl will be happy too.
And to the devotees who read this, i hope Sai shows a way for all of you too. Don‘t get a feeling that Sai is helping venkat alone. Not really, there were years when i struggled and suffered but now after i had enough patience and beared it all, i believe Sai is blessing me with his Gift. My humble prayers to Sai and Hanuman to make my parents and my girl happy by his leela and i write about it in StarSai. Few years back a devotee complained that StarSai is simply about Venkat and not about Saibaba. Honestly, its like that since what ever i think and do has Sai in it. May be it‘s my dairy but its also Temple of Humanity. StarSai spreads Sai‘s love on devotees and devotees love on Sai. There could be a reason why Hanuman came in dream. While at office, my friends were saying that Hanuman though is a celibate is very pure and helps us if we love someone truly to unite us. As Hanuman united Rama and Sita, he will also bless devotees with pure mind.

Amazing darshan of Hanuman -- you have to see this to believe it
Dear All, Jai Guru Hanuman
This happened in Kalika Mata temple in Ratlam, M.P., last month. Pictures tell the true story. The Saintwas telling the story of Ramayana and "Hanumanji" appeared in the form of langur !! The langur first went and sat near the singers and listened to the kirtan, held the mic of the mahantji, got blessed by him,then "blessed" the saints and then sat in front of Shri Ramji's photo and took some of the flowers (note similar position to Shri Hanumanji in the framed picture) and left quietly.

How to publish your first book Nupur Anand, ET Bureau Jan 17, 2011, 04.21am IST

Stieg Larsson, the late author of the hugely-popular Millennium trilogy books, first submitted his manuscript to Piratförlag, a Swedish publisher. Piratförlag never opened the package because he was a first-time author. He eventually had Norstedts Förlag publish the work . Larsson's fate with Piratförlag is similar to that of most aspiring authors, especially in India: Their work remains unpublished. This is despite the presence of nearly 16,000 publishers in India, a number arrived without counting foreign powerhouses such as Oxford and Harper Collins. Still, a growing number of Indian authors are emerging by the day. And Larsson's case suggests there is hope.
Here is how you can publish your work. The publisher route Firstly, identify the genre of your work. You must then search for publishers under that category. Most publishers have a fixed format for submission available on their website. "You should submit a detailed synopsis along with the first few chapters," says Rajiv Beri, managing director of Macmillan Publishers. "Ideally, you should intersperse the chapters that are being sent, especially for fiction."Members of the publishing industry say authors must understand a target audience and selling point of the work. The synopsis should contain the standout features of the work. A few publishers believe background information about an author helps. Check, check and check for accuracy. And weed out grammatical errors and spelling mistakes."It is important to send your work to as many publishers as possible," says Ravi Subramanian, author of If God Was A Banker and Devil in Pinstripes. "For every one publisher who may show interest in your work, there will be at least five who will reject you." A first-time author should send the full manuscript, he adds.The waiting period is usually between two and five weeks. You should worry only after. Publishing industry insiders say do not jump at an offer. "One shouldn't say yes in desperation to the first publisher who approaches. New authors especially should wait and weigh their deal and agree only when they are sure that they have landed themselves a good offer," says Subramanian.
The big challenge—grabbing the attention of a publisher—done with, heed to contract signing. "There is not much leeway for a first-time author," says Rashmi Bansal, author of Stay Hungry Stay Foolish and Connect The Dots.
Royalty for freshers generally is 5-7.5%, or a percentage of the price of each book sold. If you are lucky, it can rise to 10%. Up to 5,000 books are published usually in the first tranche. A publisher decides the pricing, publicity and number of books. The royalty may be a one-time payment or paid as a signing amount, on delivering the manuscript and on sale of the work. "One should also check the terms of the contract and the rights being transferred," says Joseph Mathai, consultant with Independent Publishers' Distribution Alternative. Beri adds: "One should also be clear whether royalty is on the MRP or the net price of the book." Your job is not over yet. There is still marketing. "Given the number of books released, getting a mention or review is not easy unless your book stands out," says Bansal. One should organise events at bookstores and create a website, blog and community on social networking sites, she says. You can also hire a public relations company. This can cost between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh.
Written a book? Publish it yourself!
Thanks to the many self-publishing websites, a young writer can go ahead and publish his or her own e-book at a nominal cost, says Hemchhaya De
Srividya Srikumar is an aspiring poet. But the Chennai-based fashion model in her 20s hardly has the time to chase publishers to bring out an anthology of her poems penned in between her busy shoots. But she fulfilled her long-cherished dream to be a published poet when she came across an Indian web site offering do-it-yourself (DIY) publishing. In other words, she uploaded her poems on a self-publishing web site for free and opted for the portal's cover design and text formatting services for a nominal fee. And, voil, she is now a self-published poet with her works reaching a global audience! Srividya is just one among many, many young aspiring authors today who — inspired by the online self-publishing success stories of E.L. James and closer home, Amish Tripathy — are keen to explore a brave, new world. Self-publishing, particularly online DIY publishing, is apparently helping them bypass the constraints of traditional publishing houses. "You might have to wait for a year or more before traditional publishers convert your manuscript into print," says Srividya. "But now with online self-publishing options, you can sell an ebook in about seven minutes." In addition to Amazon, several web sites are now available in the country catering to Indian authors, writing not only in English but also in vernacular languages. Take pothi.com, notionpress.com and soon-to-be-launched ebooksutra.com where you can just upload books for free or for a nominal fee in no time if your works meet the criteria set by them. Then there are Indian self-publishing platforms — Cinnamon Teal, Power Publishers and Partridge India from Penguin, to name a few — that offer specialised editing-proofing-designing services and help you fast-track publishing both ebooks and printed copies "on demand". But although digital self-publishing has made publishing easier like never before, experts say authors, particularly self-publishing writers, need to follow some basic rules to make an impact. "We find that many authors in India, especially youngsters, need a lot of hand-holding from our end in terms of writing or editing," says Leonard Fernandes, co-founder, Cinnamon Teal. The first step, experts say, should be choosing a genre and assessing whether it's fit for online publishing. For instance, if you are writing chick-lit, horror fiction or any other popular genre, online self-publishing can be preferred. But experts maintain that for fine pieces of literary work, traditional publishers can be indispensable. "Technology today has the ability to speed up the publishing process — but it isn't as simple as it seems," cautions Vivek Mehra, managing director and CEO, Sage Publications India, who, interestingly, is also experimenting with online self-publishing with his fiction, Seven Shades of Grey. "The DIY comes with plenty of assumptions — these are easy or difficult to circumvent based on the type of book you are planning to publish." He adds if it is a racy novel, an author will have very little to do, thus making self publishing easier. "However, if you want to publish a cookbook or a memoir replete with photographs, you are definitely going to have formatting issues," says Mehra. In other words, traditional publishing might be a better option, depending on the complexity of text and formatting. What's of paramount importance before one embarks on DIY publishing is ensuring the quality of writing and staying original, according to online publishers. Self-publishing doesn't mean one is allowed to put forth sloppy writing, they warn. "We have seen many youngsters do not know the basics of writing — for instance, how to write a title for a book," says Fernandes of Cinnamon Teal. Others point out that there's basic disregard for grammar and punctuation and crafting a plot for fiction. "There are some key things to remember if you want to publish your own book, and more importantly, if you want to see it sell," says Sandeep Sengupta, co-founder, ebooksutra.com. "It's tempting to think that because you're publishing your own work without an editor looming over your head, you can get away with a few grammar or spelling errors here or there." But these are the things readers will notice and such errors will put them off your book, he adds. Experts also advise attending writing workshops to hone skills such as a basic grounding in how to create characters, develop plot points, introduce tension and so on. "We are thinking of holding workshops for authors keen on self-publishing in major cities," says Naveen Valsakumar, co-founder of the Chennaibased Notionpress.com, a newly launched online DIY publishing site where most of the authors are young, first-time writers. Others feel one shouldn't, even on online publishing sites, do away with editing. "No matter how good an author you are, you will not be able to edit your own book," says Mehra. Agrees Debayudh Chatterjee, a first-year MA English student at Delhi University and an up-and-coming poet who publishes his works on digital platforms. "Feedback from an editor always helps because writing is interactive," he says . Experts also caution against plagiarism. Most portals like Notionpress.com and ebooksutra.com have screening systems or software to detect plagiarism. Another key factor for self-publishing is keeping in place a marketing strategy. "Determine your marketing plans for getting your book noticed by readers, even before your book is published," says Andrew Phillips, CEO, Author Solutions, an international self-publishing company that partnered with Penguin India to launch Partridge. "Book marketing is critical to success." There's no denying the fact that DIY publishing sites help authors access a global readership. "Authors opting for self-publishing on our site will be put up on ecommerce sites such as Flipkart," says Naveen of Notionpress. Besides, sites like ebooksutra help authors with social media marketing. But some say that traditional publishing still has an advantage over DIY publishing online. "Even with traditional publishing houses, the author is the main ambassador of his own book," says Mehra. "A digital platform services many authors; they don't have the bandwidth to promote individual titles." Publishers further say one shouldn't expect to be an overnight literary sensation with self-publishing. "There are some success stories (in online publishing) but these, when compared to traditional publishing, are still fewer in number," says Mehra. Experts say the self-publishing market in India is not as mature as that in the West. The number of self-published books in America grew by 287 per cent between 2006 and 2011 while online self-published books accounted for more than 20 per cent of crime, science fiction, romance and humour ebooks sold in the UK in 2012. In comparison, in India, ebooks comprise less than a per cent of the Rs 10,000 crore book publishing industry. But Indian authors are slowly waking up to the potential of DIY publishing where the bulk of the revenue earned through book sales goes to the author. "One has to keep on writing if one wishes to sustain self-publishing," says Naveen. "Don't be afraid of making mistakes. You can always learn from them and move on." DIY PUBLISHING TIPS (i) Be original, avoid plagiarism at all costs (ii) Choose a genre suited for online self-publishing (iii) Keep your language polished and error-free (iv) Devise a marketing plan, online or otherwise (v) Keep writing SELF-PUBLISHING OPTIONS IN INDIA • www.pothi.com

How to publish my book in India for FREE? looking for print on demand self publishers Best Answer
? answered 3 years ago As suggested earlier, you can approach any agent for publishing your book. However it may take time as many other authors also used to submit their books for publications. If you are publishing for the first time and have limited budget, you can approach a print on demand publisher. So far I know, there is a new print on demand publishing company in Manipur , Globalconnect, which publishes all the books submitted. They also offer a very low and competitive price ( I guess it is the lowest) of just Rs.2000/- in case if you want your book to be printed( presently they offer five copies). If you do not wish to print your book and want to sell as ebook, they do not charge any fee from you. They will format and publish your book. They also submit your book to their online stores and to their affiliate partners Amazon.com and Lulu.com. You can check it on Amazon. Iam an author who have successfully written book entitled " Becoming God" which is presently live on Amazon.com and Lulu.com. My books were published by Globalconnect and they actually sent me five copies of the printed book. Their website is globalcnt.co.nr Hope it helps you. Source:

Re: Signs of Black magic done on you Salaam Some signs of a magician to help people identify them and to stay away from them. They often desguise themselves as healers, peers, baba's etc.. but in reality use magic and work with jinns. Magicians practicing sorcery have certain features and signs that prove that they are obeying and worshipping the devils (shayaateen) and are in league with them. The ruling of magic (witchcraft, sorcery) is that it is disbelief (kufr) and anyone indulging in it is a kafir (disbeliever). There is no
such thing as "good" magic. All magic (sihr) is haraam. Please note that when many of these signs are combined and found together, it gives a much greater likelihood of this person being a magician. Some of these signs are such which if found in isolation may simply hint at the person being a magician, and others are such which if found on their own are clear signs of a magician. Signs of the Practitioners of Magic (Sihr) From these signs are:
The magician will ask you for some clothing which has been in direct contact with your body, they are looking for something which has traces of sweat upon it. It can also be a comb, or some hair, or a picture (photo). The magician will ask you for your name and the name of your mother. This type of magician is potentially greater in his disbelief than others, because the devils are prepared to work for him through names alone, without the need for any clothing or hair and the likes, which indicates his obedience to the devils is greater than others, and that he has reached a level with these devils that other lesser magicians have not. He will chant or mumble what are talismans (spells, amulets) but in a language that is not understandable. He will ask a person to keep away from the people for a defined time in a room in which no sunlight enters. He will often be found in a dark room. He will often use bukhoor (incense) or a fire in which he will put bukhoor (incense). The magician will ask you for a sacrificial animal (chicken, sheep etc.) with a given description (i.e. age, size etc.) so that it is sacrificed in a specific way (without Allaah's name being mentioned), and then its blood is used to smear on to the patient's body (where he has his pain or disease), or the patient may be requested to go to a deserted buildings or places and asked to smear the blood, or it may be on stones or on trees in a certain location. On some occasions the magician may tell the person his name, his mother's name, the place he has come from, or the reason (problem, ailment, need) for which he has come. He gets this knowledge through the devils he is giving obedience to, and which he is summoning for this purpose. He may give the person an amulet in the shape of a triangle or a square (made out of paper, or a cloth), or it could be out of leather, or it could be made out of silver, and inside of it there are written calls for help from the devils, coded through numbers and symbols, and words written backwards. He may ask the person to hang them around his neck or put them under the pillow. He will write talismans, or amulets in which he mixes parts of the Qur'an, the names of the Prophets, or Companions, along with unknown names, symbols and combinations of numbers and letters. He will write or prepare talismans on paper or otherwise and which will often contain five pointed stars - these five pointed stars represent Satan in occult symbolism. He may give the person certain artifacts and ask him to bury them in the earth, in a specific location. He may give the person pieces of paper mixed with pieces of wood and ask him to burn these papers and wood and use them as bukhoor (incense, fumigation) to fumigate himself with the smoke. And these papers are likely to be pages of the Qur'an torn into small pieces. He may give him the skin of an animal (like a fox or wolf or jackal), or its teeth and ask him to carry them, or he may give him black threads, or cords to hang in his car. He may ask the person to wear a garment he gives him and ask him to wear it on a specific defined days, and the garment will be filled with talismans and amulets (they will be stitched into the garment). He may give the person a ring to wear onto which talismans are etched, or a small padlock with its key inserted around which a talisman is attached with sellotape. And other odd things like this. From the signs of the magician is belittlement of the Qur'an and its desecration, and this takes place in many ways. These signs are found amongst many people claiming to be "faith-healers", and they come out in the garb of faith, pretending to be pious, and they place advertisements in the papers and on the radio and television (in some Muslim lands) and in the Western lands also. So you should beware of these liars and worshipers of the devils, and warn everyone against them - to see how these people became magicians in the first place, read the following article: from here: http://www.dajjaal.com/liar/articles...ntify-them.cfm Reply With Quote

It is permissible in shariah in asking the name of the patient and his/her mother's names. Please see link below Q - Why do some Islamic healers ask for the patient's name and his/her mother's name ? Is is permissible ? wallaahu a'lam

KALIA MASAN ... Part 2
I am researching more and talking to people (Exorcists) on this subject, will update the blog soon.... One can invite the souls that have crossed over or any other living entity in the lower astral planes with the following mantra... the astral entity or the soul will appear on the mirror... I am not sure about the complete procedure because the exorcist I spoke with did not share it with me except the below mantra ... I did chant the mantra for several times in front of the mirror and was able to see some white shades and vague images but with no much success.... here is the mantra for all the readers of this blog...
