Navtrai Pujan

Durga Puja Life means new surprises each moment and one never knows when a friend would turn into a foe or some person might assume a hostile stance.

And if one wishes to launch a new venture one has to remain ever wary of mischief makers bent on throwing a spanner in the works. What more it might not even be an obvious enemy that one is up against. Posing as a friend could be a Brutus, eagerly waiting for a chance to stab one in the back.

One might well succeed in warding off attacks coming from expected sources, but many catch one unawares and leave one struggling to keep life going on smoothly. Even if one is equipped with a daring spirit one can possible take on at most two or three foes at a moment; and a series of attacks coming from scores of sources instead of proving to be hearty companions could mean loss of precious time, energy and money and even health and life.

O Arjun! Your weapons are useless against your foes like Duryodhan. Only Mantra power can annihilate them, hence make use of the powerful Mantras granted to you by your Guru!"

These wise words once spoken to Arjun by Lord Krishna emphasize that courage and strength alone cannot help one win the battle of life. To overcome all hurdles, all adversaries one needs the decisive strength of divine power with the help of which even the worst phases of life can be easily crossed over.

It would also be sheer naivety to expect such hatred and jealousy to spring up only at one's work place, for even one's home, family or circle of relatives could turn into a battleground. It is not uncommon to see a brother lust after one's blood, or one's life partner turn into a predator on trivial issues. Things take a plunge for the worst when these very close ones start to opt for low tactics like black magic, false libel suits and physical attacks.

Life becomes fraught with worries, constant fears, ill health and loss of wealth due to such negative influences in life. In such situations especially when no amount of wise counselling advice, threats work there remains no choice than seeking divine succour. Sadhanas alone can help one overcome such persistent foes, for Vedic rituals are a wonderful source of Shakti or divine power which not just instills physical strength and stamina rather also strengthens one mentally and spiritually.

It's a fact proved by hundreds of scriptures that one equipped with Mantra power remains invincible life long. And if one has tapped into the infinite source of Power and Energy, Mother Durga, then nothing in the universe could prove a threat to that individual.

The following Durga Sadhana is an unfailing and fast way of turning foes into friends, removing all hurdles on the path of success, banishing all fears and dangers in life and nullifying the effects of all evil practices that might have been initiated by some adversary. A surge of courage, feeling of security, confidence and faith are gifts of this Sadhana which can help one overcome and defeat all problems in life in whatever form they might appear.

Try this powerful Sadhana on a Friday or on 7.4.2000 early in the morning from 4 am to 6 am. Have a bath and wear yellow robes. Sit on a yellow mat facing East or North. Cover a wooden seat with yellow cloth. Place Mahaadurga Yantra on a mound of rice grains and offer on it vermilion, red flowers, incense. Light a ghee lamp. On its left on another mound place Shakti Khadag. On the Yantra also offer a sweet made from gram flour. Join the palms and chant thus.

Sarva Mangal Maangalye Shive Sarvaarth Saadhike |

Sharannye Trayambake Gouri Naaraayanni Namostute ||

Next take some water in the hollow of the right palm and pledge thus - I (name) do this Sadhana for pacification of all foes. Let the water flow to the ground.

Thereafter stand on the mat, with the Yantra in the right hand. Cover it with the left hand and closing the eyes chant the following Mantra for 10 minutes.

After this offer prayers to the Guru. Chant 5 rounds of Guru Mantra. Having completed the Sadhana take the Shakti Khadag in the South direction from your house and bury it in some isolated spot. Drop the Yantra in a river or pond.
