1. Reproducing answer thread on Deeksha + Mantra.
Idea of “Deeksha” is paraded by so many people and like many things in life it depends on: 1. Who is the person? 2. Who is the Guru? 3. What is the mantra? 4. How long does one intend to spend chanting- 1hr/3hrs/6hrs per day?
2. For some people who have the intelligence and the comprehension to understand the subtleties of the matter ... and who chant flawless diction, it’s possible they will easily transcend and get effects WITHOUT any Deeksha...
3. For some who are totally unused to the idea and who have very little dedication (one person I know took 18 different mantra deekshas from a good Guru and did NONE)...
NO matter what they chant, it will produce nothing (will watering a seed in desert sand)
4. Occasionally a person arises who has intelligence/comprehension and dedication (and of course lineage although that’s become a negative word these days)... AND finds a Guru... for that person adbhuta things may occur just like that... this is the in general spectrum.
5. There are 7 billion people on this planet. Methods will vary... some are simple and others are more complex.
But perseverance, dedication over years show results in general.
6. Before I forget... the most important part is Bhakti.... countless saints hv demonstrated over the millennia that suddenly Bhagwan manifests ... regardless of Guru/Deeksha/ etc...
Never discount it. One day Narayan may come and approach the sadhaka.... none may fool him.

Thread:
One of the most fundamental mistakes good intentioned and correctly aligned people make is to assume that others will DO good simply because what the good person tells or does or proves.
👇🏻
Others may not think that way and may be guided by extremely different ideas.
This is not something new which is being stated here:
You will see people who have never served anyone in their lives abuse people who have served people all their lives ... in fact, they can label the service oriented person who only has good in his/her heart almost anything...
Mostly people who have unselfish good in their hearts will NOT see this coming their way.
You will see this playout in nearly everything in today’s world.
Look at the anti CAA agitation for example.
Do displaced Hindus have nothing to fall back on?
A small thread on japa and homa.
👇🏻
A sadhaka comes to me and since he has worshipped Deity X (Vaishnava male deity) with homa from our manuals for ages, (with good results) I tell him a small japa procedure for the deity....
Now see what happens when he does japa...
This is somebody who is absolutely happy and having a reasonably good life...
Doing homa just for that Deity every weekend and getting actual results : job... etc...
now we wants to progress spiritually ... so he feels anyway and despite reluctance on my side.. eventually japa
Now see what happens after every 11,000 japa ...... first gets a health issue problem arrives for him!!! Never before did he have any health problem ... that is his family’s Devata!! Kula Devata!!!
The Jyotisha used in the Mahabharata is very exacting:
Small Thread 1. Mention of exact Nakshatra with the word Peeda is there in all the places NOT that PEEDA TO RASHIS, a fundamental mistake by many Mahabharata daters applying wrong principles.
The Jyotisha used in the Mahabharata is very exacting: 2. In some places only the Nakshatras are used to denote positions BUT NO PEEDA IS MENTIONED.
Yet many Mahabharata daters apply concepts of Peeda in those verses too THAT too only to half the verse ignoring the other half.
3. There are three slow moving planets and each has got multiple possible positions :
Saturn 4 verses, 3 positions, Jupiter 3 verses, 3 positions, Mars 2 verses and positions, yet NOBODY except modified 3067BCE theory explains all positions + WHY a position is best, ranking them.
Today is the day last year when my talk on astronomy was arranged for the 29th Dec.
I finally decided to formally make slides shifting the entire timeline on the war by 3 days( instead of 22nd Nov shifted to 25thNov 3067BCE) and formulated Tri Pushya theory.
Came a long way!
That’s the poster for the talk last year. When I took up the challenge to debate and started preparing in October of last year, I came across the various points which were important:
Balarama’s pilgrimage, Bhisma Moksha, Kartika Purnima pre war, Tri Pushya, comet theory, Pluto!
My next book which will release in the next 9 days will show the problems with the major 7 alternative dates proposed by various authors for the Mahabharata war, each step of the hypothesis will be dissected. Around 130 pages, maybe more. ISBN number will be released soon.
As you see, today is Champa Shasthi. This is the great day of worship at the great shrine of Jejuri.
Aurangzeb was punished by the Deity of this temple known as Khandoba, who is considered especially fiery tempered !
Aurangzeb had captured the fort of Daulat Mangal and then realised that there was a Hindu temple (of Jejuri) nearby.
As foolish Aurangzeb was wont to do, he decided to send his soldiers to loot and then destroy the temple!
The soldiers sent by Aurangzeb soon climbed up the hill. Finally seeing the pathway closed they thought of blowing a path with dynamite.
What happened next was impossible.
As they started to dig a hole, a swarm of giant bees miraculously appeared (hornets)
On this Panchami a small note for sadhakas.
Many ask “I have done sadhana for 10 years and I cannot see the Devata yet. Is my sadhana correct?”
And: The very fact that one is doing sadhana for long is an indication that Kripa of Bhagwaan exists.... in this age, it’s unusual.
There is a word in Patanjali’s Astanga Yoga: “Ishwar Pranidhana”
It comes last. There is a reason why it comes last.
Every sadhaka no matter how great, no matter how small, no matter of x or y path,....eventually comes to realise of one’s insignificance.
Then hand of God is seen
That leads to the step of Ishwar Pranidhana.
Which in fact is the direct manifestation of the spontaneous realisation that the Bhagwan you were searching for is present all along and directing your path every step of the way... no matter how many ditches you fell into.
