How to celebrate Deepawali
Deepawali is not just a festival for worshipping Goddess Lakshmi, eating sweets, wearing new clothes or lighting ghee lamps. There is a great secret significance of this festival and understanding it can enable one to celebrate the festival in the best possible manner.
Every Indian eagerly waits for the festival of Deepawali as it is the best of all festivals. Homes are cleaned, new clothes are stitched, sweets and other savoury dishes are prepared for the festival and in the night of Diwali Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped.
Diwali was the day when thousands of years ago Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya having defeated and killed Ravan. The people of Ayodhya celebrated his homecoming by lighting ghee lamps all over the city and by decorating their streets and houses.
It is to remember those moments that every year Diwali is celebrated as a favoured festival. More importance is given to this day than even the birthday of the Lord, Ramnavmi, or Maargshirh Shukla Panchami when Lord Ram and Sita were married.
Even the ancient texts contain reference to this very auspicious day. What is the reason for this day being so important?
It is one of the greatest and most enthusiastically celebrated festivals of all times. Preparations for this start from Navratri itself. But there is a very deep significance behind this festival and if we celebrate it without understanding the same then we would be merely performing a formality.
Diwali is no ordinary festival and one should surely keep the following points in mind while celebrating this festival.
1. The Indian season of Sharad can be divided into three parts - Hemant, Shishir and Vasant. Hemant is a very pleasant season which fills one with joy. It is a time when pleasant thoughts rise in one's mind. One is filled with feelings of love, pleasure and joy. According to the ancient texts a child born or conceived in this season is very intelligent and talented.
2. With Navratri the crop of rice is reaped and trees are laden with flowers in gardens and forests. Grains are harvested in this season, and grains as we well know are the very basis of life.
3. On the day of Dhantrayodashi a special ritual is accomplished which is called Deepdaan. In it lamps are lit for every individual in the family and ancestors and they are floated in a river or pond. It is a day for gaining the blessings and good wises of one's ancestors. One seeks the help of the ancestors for safeguarding one's interests and one's assets.
4. Dhantryodashi is the birthday of Dhanvantri, the great master of Ayurved. If a person is ailing ten pleasures and worship prove useless. Dhanvantri appeared from the ocean at the time of its churning and he had a pot of elixir in his hands.
With this elixir the Gods could gain eternal youth, handsomeness and divinity. One who succeeds in gaining the blessings of Dhanvantri remains ever youthful and disease free.
5. Roop Chaturdashi is a Soundarya Siddhi Diwas i.e. on this day one can perform some Sadhana for gain of beauty and magnetism. Just as flowers and leaves cannot appear on a dry tree similarly a person who is deprived of handsomeness, joy and vigour cannot rise in life.
He remains angry, tense and troubled throughout life. In life beauty and good looks are just as important as good health.
6. It is the duty of every human to take care of one's body and maintain its good looks. Keeping the physique fit and healthy and also improving one's appearance through external means are equally important.
Roop Chaturdashi and Dhanvantri Jayanti are the days when one can pray for both these boons i.e. a healthy and beautiful body.
Over the ages people forgot the significance of these days and businessmen used the occasion to perform worships for the expansion of their business. This is not the real purpose of these two wonderful days.
Very few people give a thought as to how to celebrate the festival of Diwali. on the day of Diwali a new year begins. Early in the morning on this day one should have a bath and perform at least three types of worships.
Firstly one should offer prayers to the Guru. Then one should pay one's respect to one's parents. And lastly one should worship one's family deity.
It is when a person obtains the good wishes of these three that his life can become totally successful. It is one's chief duty to propitiate them and offer one's heart felt regards in their feet.
Diwali is a holiday all over India. Generally all family members get together to perform the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, eat together the choicest dishes and light lamps.
One should try to prepare sweets at home and avoid buying from the market. Only home made and the best sweets should be offered to the gods and the deities.
It is also an important ritual to light candles and ghee lamps in and around the house. This is not a mere tradition. Fire represents energy. And the night of Diwali is moonless.
Lighting lamps in this night signifies dispelling of darkness. It also signifies that no matter how difficult any problem that one faces in life, through the light of the soul one could find way through the darkest of times.
All try to accomplish the worship and Sadhana of Goddess Mahalakshmi in this night in the hope that the Goddess would bless one with property and affluence. But before one tries Sadhana of Lakshmi one should understand how Lakshmi was born.
She did not appear in an ordinary manner, rather she originated from the ocean at the tine of its churning. When she appeared she was chosen by Lord Vishnu as his consort. This tale signifies that Lakshmi or wealth can be had in life only after putting in great efforts.
No doubt good luck is important in life. But success comes only through hard work. Where there is perseverance there is bound to be success.
Perseverance means a strong will power so that the mind could become sharp and concentrated. Lakshmi has been called Karma Prabhaav Prakaashini i.e. were there is hard work its fruit manifests in the form of the divinity and blessings of Lakshmi.
Those who lack determination in their lives and are lazy, unwilling to work, a prey to bad habits have weak minds. And a person with a weak mind cannot rise high in life or become wealthy.
On the day next to Diwali, a special worship known as Govardhan Pooja is accomplished. This worship is performed before sun rise at the entrance to one's home.
In it a special Yantra is prepared with cow dung and a ghee lamp is lit. In India it is believed that all gods are present in the body of a cow. We obtain milk, ghee from the cow which are the very basis of life. That is why this ritual is performed and cow dung is worshipped.
It is on this day that people visit each other's home to wish each other. Everyone tries to include others in his or her happiness. Guests are most welcome on this day and they are treated to sweets and dishes.
The above mentioned points should be kept in mind while celebrating the festival of Diwali. It is a festival when the following vows can be taken.
1. I shall work hard in life. I won't waste any time at all. I shall reflect upon my mistakes and shall learn from them.
If there appears some problem in life I shall not feel troubled but shall try to find a solution to it with a cool mind. I shall try to find out how the problem arose and how it could be overcome.
2. No matter how dark the times I shall keep the light of my mind turned on and with a conscious mind I shall try to find a way out. I would seek recourse of Sadhanas and hard work to overcome all problems of life.
3. I shall take care of my body and never fall prey to bad habits. I shall try to maintain a good health. I shall also try to improve my looks so as to appear appealing to all.
4. I shall include all family members in important decisions. I shall give respect to my spouse and treat my children well. I shall try to keep the family united.
5. I shall surely offer prayers to the Guru, ancestors and family deity before starting some important work or Sadhana. All that I possess is due to the blessings of my Guru, parents and the gods.
6. In the night of this year's Diwali I shall take some pledge. A strong will power improves life. And success in some aim boosts one's confidence and opens up doors to new and higher goals.
7. I will pray to Lakshmi to remain permanently in my home. I shall not be extravagant and not misuse the wealth that I have.
If one celebrates Diwali with these vows in mind then this festival really becomes benefic. This is a sure way of ensuring a year full of joy, beauty, knowledge, intelligence and good health.
Diwali shall come every year but this year can be special if you keep these vows in mind. The best wishes of revered Gurudev and Mataji are with you.

The Mahavidya Sadhanas

Kamala - The Wealth Giver

Dharma (proper action), Arth (wealth), Kaam(pleasures) and Moksha (fulfilment) are considered the four basic pivots of a total and complete life. Among these four wealth comes foremost, for without it life becomes barren like a desert. And the deity of wealth is the Mahavidya Kamala, who frees her Sadhak of debts, poverty, tensions, problems, sins, diseases and danger of untimely death. And not just this she bestows upon him sharp intellect, charming personality, wealth, health, a beautiful spouse, children, property, vehicles, fame and respect.
Every person whether old or young wishes to be rich; and the best and easiest way to prosperity is the Sadhana of Kamala. This Sadhana is unfailing, so much so that even a poor, unfortunate, disease-ridden wretch can get rid of all his misfortunes and climb to the highest echelons of material success through this wonderful ritual. It’s not just believed, it is the experience of so many Sadhaks that if accomplished with full devotion this Sadhana cannot fail to produce its effects.
On 25.1.99 or any Monday get up early in the morning, take a bath and get into red clothes. Cover a wooden seat with red cloth. Inscribe
shreem
on a steel plate with vermilion. On it place Kamala Yantra. On its right hand side place the Siddh Gutika. Light incense and ghee lamp. Offer vermilion, rice grains, sweets and flowers on the Yantra. -

Kaantyaa Kaanchan Sannibhaam Him Giri Prakhyeish-chaturbhirgaje. Hastotkshipt Hirannyamayaamrit Ghateiraasichya Maanaam Shriyam. Vibhraannam Varamabja Yugmamayam Hasteih Kireetojjvalaam. Shoumaabadh Nitamb Bimb Lalitaam Vandedarvind Sthitaam.
Offer rice grains and vermilion five times on the Yantra each time chanting-
Shreem Kleem Shreem Namah.
Thereafter chant 21 rounds of the following Mantra with Kamla Mala.
Om Ayeim Shreem Hreem Kamalvaasinyei Namah

The Mahavidya Sadhanas

Dhoomavati - The Terrifier

"I was working in a high government post, when one day I received a letter that threatened me of dire consequences unless I left the place or secured a transfer.I was very much worried and in this state one day as I was strolling on the river bank, I heard my name being called. As I turned I saw a Sadhu approaching me. ‘You have been threatened’, he said. Before I could reply he continued - ‘There are hidden enemies who won’t hesitate to kill. Come here tomorrow night.’ I returned to the place the next night to find the Sadhu seated before a fire. He asked me to join him and for the next two hours he accomplished some ritual. After the Mantra recital he told me that the Goddess Dhoomavati would now protect me. "
"The very next day two men armed with guns rushed into my office. However as soon as they faced me terror swam over their facial features and to my surprise, they turned and ran as if for their lives."
"Amazed, I went in search of the Sadhu and related the event to him. ‘Ma sure terrified them’, he said laughing boisterously. Then he added - ‘My work is done. Thank your Gurudev for sending me here!’ With this he disappeared, leaving me all the more bewildered. I sure had a Guru and he had helped me several times but this time he had saved me from sure death."
These are the words of one of Gurudev’s disciples, who got a chance to witness the power of Goddess Dhoomavati who is a terror for one’s enemies. Even ghosts and evil spirits dare not touch her Sadhak. She drives away all baneful influences like diseases and illnesses. The gaze of the Sadhak becomes so powerful that even the staunchest enemy quails in his presence. The Goddess protects her Sadhak throughout life from the worst of calamities.
The Sadhana of this Mahavidya can be done on any moonless night or on 17.1.99. After 10 p.m. take a bath, wear black robes and sit alone in a room facing South on a black worship mat. Before yourself place a wooden seat covered with a black cloth. In a steel plate place Dhoomavati Yantra. On one side place the picture of the Goddess. Next to it in another plate place a Vajra Dand and Dhoomavati Mala.
Take some mustard seeds and throwing them in all directions chant thus -
Om Apsarpantu Ye Bhootaah Ye Bhootaah Bhoomi Sansthitaah. Ye Bhootaa Vignakartaaraste Nashyantu Shivaagyaa. Apkraamantu Bhootaani Pishaachaah Sarvato Disham. Sarveshaam-virodhen Poojaakarma Samaarabhe.
Offer vermilion, rice grains, flowers, incense, ghee lamp and some sweet on the picture of the Guru. Bathe the Yantra with fresh water and wipe it dry. Make a mark with Kaajal on it. Light an oil lamp and incense. Offer sweets and fruit on the Yantra. Chant 4 rounds of Guru Mantra and then 21 rounds of the following Mantra with Dhoomavati Mala.
Dhoom Dhoom Dhoomaavati Tthah Tthah
After the Sadhana don’t sleep that night. Sit in meditation. Next morning chant one round of the Mantra and then go and throw the Yantra in a river. Thereafter chant one round of the Mantra daily for 45 days. After 3 months throw the rosary and Vajra Dand too in a river.

The Mahavidya Sadhanas

Tara - The Provider

Laxmi or wealth is mercurial in nature, never staying in one pocket or in one house. To flow away is its inherent nature. To prosper one needs to tie it down, a feat next to impossible. However to a Goddess who is famed to provide her Sadhaks not with money but pure gold, nothing is impossible, least of all making one rich! Siddhi of Tara means driving away poverty forever. I myself know of a disciple of Gurudev who did not even have enough to eat. But the day he met Paramhans Swami Nikhileshwaranand -Gurudev Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali in his ascetic Avataar - his fortune started to change for the better, till be became a billionaire. And all this happened just by virtue of the power of Mahayidya Tara whose Sadhana kind Gurudev had gifted him. Here very efficacious practices of the Goddess are being produced.
Tara Sadhana
On 31.1.99 or any Wednesday take a bath and wear pink robes. Cover a wooden seat with pink cloth and on it place Tara Yantra. Make 4 mounds of rice grains around the Yantra. On each mound place a clove. Light a ghee lamp. Take water in right palm & chant.
Om Apavitrah Pavitro Vaa Sarvaavasthaam Gatopi Vaa Yah Smaret Pundareekaaksham Sa Baahyaabhyantarah Shuchih.
Sprinkle the water over yourself. Join your palms and pray thus to the Goddess.
Pratyaaleedd Padaaarpitaam-ghrishavhrid Ghoraattahaasaa Paraaa. Khadagendeevarkartri Kharparbhujaa Hoonkaarbeejodbhavaa. Kharvaaneel Vishaalapingal Jataajooteikanaageiryutaa. Jaadayam Nyasya Kapaalike Trijagataam Hantyugrataaraa Swayam.
Viniyog
Take water in your right palm and chant -
Asya Shree Taaraa Mantrasya Ashobhya Rishih Brihatee Chhandah Taaraa Devataa Hreem Beejam Hoom Shaktih Streem Keelakam Mamaabheesht Siddhaye Jape Viniyogah.
Let the water flow on to the floor. Next chant the following Mantra with a Tara Mala.
Ayeim Hreem Shreem Kleem Souh Hoom Ugra Taare Phat
The next day throw the articles in a river.

The Mahavidya Sadhanas

Baglamukhi - The Victory Giver

Brahmaastram Cha Pravakshyaami Sadayah Pratyay
Kaarannam. Yasya Smarann Maatrenn Pavanopi Sthiraayet
Expounding the great power of the Goddess Baglamukhi the text Mantra Maharnnav states -"The Mantra of the Goddess has the power of the divine weapon Brahmastra instilled in it and the Goddess simply strikes terror in and paralyses the enemies of her Sadhaks. Repetition of her Mantra is enough to stop even a tempest."
What more can be said about this invincible Mahavidya who along with her 16 Shaktis (divine weapons) can subdue the most formidable of foes. Her greatness has been proven time and again over the ages. And not just great Siddhs like Matsyendranath, even rulers like Vikramaditya, Chandragupt and Aurangzeb regularly propitiated the Goddess for victory in life. The great western Tantra scholar Summerfield has gone so far as to state that the combined forces of the whole world cannot face the fury of the Goddess, who removes poverty, enemies, tensions with a single swipe of her sword. And I have myself seen several Sadhaks and disciples of Gurudev regain their lost positions and emerge victorious in seemingly lost battles of life through the power of Baglamukhi Mantra.
It’s better to get Baglamukhi Diksha before starting this Sadhana. Complete celibacy should be observed during Sadhana days. One should wear yellow clothes and use yellow articles in the Sadhana. Offerings should include some sweet made from gram flour.
The ritual can be started from 5.1.99 or any Tuesday. It must be done early in the morning. After taking a bath get into a yellow Dhoti/Saree. Spread a yellow cloth on a wooden seat. Fill a copper tumbler with water. On its mouth place a coconut. Place picture of the Guru on the seat and pray to the Guru. In a steel plate establish the Baglamukhi Yantra along with Peetaambraa Mala and Peetaambraa Gutika. Light a ghee lamp, take water in your right palm & chant.
Viniyog
Om Asya Shree Baglaamukhi Mantrasya Naarad Rishih Trishtup Chhandah Baglaamukhi Devataa. Hleem Beejam Swaha Shaktih.

Take yellow flowers and Peetaambra Gutika in both hands and chant thus.
Om Namo Bhagwati, Om Namo Veer Pratap Vijay Bhagwati Baglaamukhi! Mam Sarvanindakaanaam Sarva Dushtaanaam Vaacham Mukham Padam Stambhay Jihvaam Mudray Mudray, Buddhim Vinaashay Vinaashay Aparbuddhim Kuru Kuru, Atmavirodhinaam Shatroonnaam Shiro, Lalaatam,Mukham,Netra,Karnna, Naasikoru,Paad, Annu-Annu, Dantoshtth, Jihvaam, Taalu, Guhya, Gudaa, Katti, Jaanu, Sarvaangeshu Keshaadi Paadaantam Paadaadi Kesh Payantam Stambhay Stambhay, Khem Kheem Maaray Maaray, Parmantra, Paryantra, Partantraanni Chheday Chheday, Atma Mantratantraani Raksh Raksh, Graham Nivaaray Nivaaray Vyaadhim Vinaashay Vinaashay, Dukham Har Har, Daaridryam Nivaaray Nivaaray, Sarvamantra Svaroopinni, Dusht-grah, Bhoot-grah, Paashaann Sarvachaandaal-grah Yaksh Kinnar Kimpurush-grah Bhootpret Pishaachaanaam Shaakini Daakini Grahaannaam Poorvadisham Bandhay Bandhay Vaartaali!

Offer the yellow flowers & the Gutika on the Yantra. Next chant 21 rounds of the following Mantra -
Om Hleem Baglaamukhi Sarva Dushtaanaam Vaacham Mukham Padam Stambhay Jihvaam Keelay Buddhim Vinaashay Hleem Om Phat.
Next light a holy fire with sandalwood or wood of mango tree or peepal tree. Prepare a mixture of honey, milk, ghee, rice and mustard seeds. Make 1000 offerings of this mixture in the fire. After the Sadhana throw the Sadhana articles in a river.

The Mahavidya Sadhanas



Bhuvaneshwari - Bestower of Absolute Power

The name of the Mahavidya itself means the ruler of the world and a Sadhak of Bhuvaneshwari is always victorious on all fronts in life and becomes all-powerful. Even Ram had to propitiate the Goddess before defeating Ravan who had conquered even heaven.
A Sadhak of Bhuvaneshwari gains a mesmerising personality that draws all people to him and makes them readily obey his command. Diseases, enemies and problems are forever banished from his life and he has unexpected and huge monetary gains. Such a person conquers all problems in life - even the danger of untimely death. He leads a joyous family life and gains fame and respect nation and world wide. Whatever he wishes for is fulfilled, for he is bestowed with 64 divine virtues which help him succeed in every venture that he undertakes. He becomes a virtual Man of his Age.
This Sadhana can be started on first day of any month. One very good day is 1.1.99.
After 10 p.m. take a bath and wear a white dhoti/saree. Sit on a white worship mat facing East. Cover a wooden seat with a red cloth. On it place the picture of the Guru. Pray to the Guru. Before the picture place the Bhuvaneshwari Yantra. Offer vermilion, rice grains, incense, ghee lamp and flowers on the Yantra. Take water in your right palm and chant.

The Mahavidya Sadhanas

Mahakali - The Saviour

Mahakali has forever been worshipped as the saviour of good in its perpetual struggle against evil. When even Gods were on the verge of being overcome by the demons, She manifested in this "Rudra" (angry) form and that was the end of seemingly unconquerable demons like Raktbeej. Her form - long, lolling tongue dripping blood, a garland of freshly severed human heads around her neck and snakes coiled around her arms and ankles in lieu of armlets and anklets - is enough to strike terror in the most evil of humans.
Her Sadhana means not just attaining courage and valour but also the divine grace of Shiva, her consort. Rudra Mahakali is the annihilator of all pains, afflictions, problems and enemies in one’s life. On her Sadhak she bestows perfect health and youth. Death cannot come uncalled to such a person. Her divine presence means birth of supreme conscience and intelligence. A hypnotic charm keeps radiating from the physique of a Siddh of Mahakali. Friends he has many and foes dare not harm him.
Like a mother, Kali fulfils all needs of a Sadhak and blesses him with wealth, fame, respect and a happy family life. And where she assures material prosperity, she also ensures spiritual upliftment.
The Sadhana of Mahakali can be started on any moonless night. One propitious day is 26.1.99. Sit facing South on a black mat. Place a steel plate filled with black sesamum seeds before yourself. On it place Mahakali Yantra. Pray to the Yantra chanting thus.
Karaal Vadanaam Ghoraam Muktakeshim-chaturbhujaa Namaami Rakta Kaaleem Taam Mundmaalaa Vibhooshitaam. Ghor-raavaam Mahaaroudreem Shamshaanaalay Vaseeneem, Baalaark-mandalaakaar Lochana-tritayaa-nvitaam.
Offer vermilion and rice grains on the Yantra. Next chant 11 rounds of the following Mantra with Mahakali Mala -
Namah Aam Aam Krom Krom Phat Swaha Kaali Kaalike Hoom.
This is a fourteen day Sadhana. After the Sadhana throw the articles in a river on any full moon night.
