There are many Tantrika rituals where exact mala, exact numbers of japa, exact homa material and of course appropriate Bali are specified.
Without the “exact” “all of the above”… result given in the Tantrika scripture is not got.
But the flip side is …. (short thread)
It’s almost impossible to say whether a particular result was due to the ritual or due to destiny or whatever…
Especially as “Shraddha” weakens in today’s age … very difficult for many people to justify anything on basis of Tantrika scripture…
Actually no person can claim that xyz happened due to a particular ritual… or not.
It’s Shraddha and whatever the sampradaya thinks/thought. Validation is impossible for this and also difficult for any human also who claims “a claim” either… those days are gone.
Hypothetically speaking (in today’s age):
👇🏻
X person has firm Shraddha in something. But if 10 people get together… they can easily make out that X AMD HIS SHRADDHA are not true.
👇🏻
Read further.
X may believe and (may be true) BUT 10 people on the opposite side together (nowadays, given enough clout)… can easily show that X is completely foolish and has no basis for his Shraddha.
It’s that easy…Hence X who may be actually genuine will leave too!
Rationally speaking … it’s the easiest thing in today’s world to say that something is false and produce 10 reasons why that thing is false.
X person can also (if he/she wants to waste time) fight and show that the other side is wrong. But it depends on where the pendulum!
Contd.
…. where the pendulum is swinging.
Most of spirituality is based either on Shabda/Anumana.
But rational thought demands reproducible results every time.
Which is impossible.
Hence who will validate Shraddha?
Ans: With enough clout one can prove truth as false also!

Traditional meaning of निष्प्रतिद्वन्द्वं given by Rastriya Samiti is IMHO not applicable here:
It gives : निष्प्रतिद्वन्द्वम् which could not be challenged
Thread:
Actually in this context, the better meaning of निष्प्रतिद्वन्द्वम् will be that which has not got any vacillation or fluctuation. A mind which does not fluctuate between”I want to do” and “I don’t want to do”
This in this context the more appropriate meaning would be “a mind which is very firmly set/ honed (towards carrying out a task”
Remember that the verse one which appears in Sundarkand is having first word as “ततो”…
Why?
How old is the worship of Divine Mother Shakti in India?
The archeological records point to 9000BCE ( 11,000 years old at least) and of course that’s the archeology which is known.
👇🏻 harappa.com/sites/default/…
This particular site at Sidhi in Madhya Pradesh is the (second) oldest site of worship in Asia.
It contains the famous Baghor stone which is a Yoni shaped triangular stone which is having ferruginous colour and represents a remarkable continuum of Shakti worship!
The religious significance of the site was definitively stated in the original work by Prof. J Desmond Clark of the University of Berkeley/ Dr Sharma.
The significance of the site would have not been realised had the archeologists not visited Kerai Ki Devi.

Although it’s very early days in the UK to know for sure, we can see the numbers of cases are going up, but hospital admissions are staying down and deaths are also low, which is what happens when massive % of population gets vaccinated.
👇🏻
% population vaccinated in UK
Now, let’s look at the figures for people who tested positive and the deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
👇🏻
You can see that, although figures for positive cases have risen, the death rate is not rising the way it was… (1.9% increase only)
Early days but positive news.
Now, look at the figures for hospital admissions:
Again the link between cases and fatalities is not what it was.
👇🏻
We will know for sure around August time but it looks like the situation has improved quite a lot.
Let’s hope
Do also note that the 14th war night of the Mahabharata was also on Krishna Ekadashi (K11) as it is TODAY and Moonrise time given in blue screenshot is 241AM. (At night)
👇🏻
Here @NileshOak ji is mistakenly asserting that this Moonrise represents a full Moon.
However, the biggest blunder is not yet done.
Shri Oak calls this K11 Moon as a Kartika Purnima. Yup!! Same Kartika Purnima which can only occur much before war in Mission of Peace, as Vyasa met Dritarashtra before the war!
👇🏻 “Paurnimasincha Kartikeem”
This leads to the father of all blunders!
In 5561BCE according to Shri Oak, the Kauravas are in the battleground, Krishna is in Hastinapur and the Pandavas are in Upaplavya (Vana Parva reference)….
Thus there is nobody to fight the Kauravas in battle and the Gita didn’t happen!
One of the biggest fallacies in spirituality is that a person must be famous to be spiritual.
There is nothing like that.
In fact some of the best spiritual figures I have met have been relatively unknown (Nakhate Maharaj).
In general you will find that whatever you are spiritually is something. Hypothetically let us call it X.
Now… if you start becoming popular, you may have to adjust to people’s likes/dislikes especially if you are reliant on them for money.
One thing that the pandemic teaches but that wisdom came early to us medics and it’s difficult unless you see death on some sort of regular basis:
“You are what you are… nobody cares..”
Death comes to all. After that account balance will be found.
Traditionally Moon is karaka for the manasa and Saturn is considered that which dries that juice… that can be (mostly ) involuntary or occasionally voluntary. The mind undergoes introversion (mostly forceful)… but for occasional people it’s voluntary..
This is perhaps one reason, Saturn is also karaka for Tapascharya .. Root Tapa = to shine, but also to suffer, to burn, to mortify even)
Acharan of Tapa… = discipline to mortify/suffer/burn/shine or indeed all of those things.
ShaniDev’s names include “Kalatra Putra Shatrutva Karanaya “… now this sort of enemity with wife/partner and sons of course comes from the history of Shani and Aditya… however, it can also be enmity with disciples/ Putra Tulya, etc.
