Seekers should continue with
their prayers
for bhuvlok kshratraveers
(warriors)!
|
n the ongoing war between Sri
Durga Devi and bhuvlok warriors (kshatraveer) against the bhuvlok
mantriks (practitioners of mantra), we were praying for the bhuvlok
warriors. That prayer is to be continued for them as well as for
oneself, as follows:
“Let no trouble befall kshtraveers and me (your
name) in the ongoing war against sorcerers of bhuvlok and the seventh hell (Saptapatal).
Let there be increase in my energy and destruction of the energy of the distressing
energies”.
This prayer should be repeated three times, once a day. |

Due to our personality defects,
subtle wounds are formed on our body. The number of wounds will
be equal to the number of shortcomings. Bhuvlok mantriks (practitioners
of mantra) can easily put bones, skeletons, jewellery, diamonds,
beads, etc., subtly in the wounds and transfer black (distressing)
energy through them. Thus, these personality defects are an invitation
to the distressing energies to enter our body. The wounds made
by mantriks (practitioners of mantra) can easily be removed by
spiritual measures, but the wounds by personality defects can be
removed only by the seeker’s efforts to remove one's personality
defects.
To reduce one’s personality defects, seekers should
study and read the upcoming guidance in the Sanatan's Weekly
Online. Remove your shortcomings in the minimum amount of time by proper
planning. Seekers should also make efforts to make up for all the losses in spiritual
practice and the smooth functioning of the Sanatan, made by ones mistakes
in the our work towards righteousness (Dharma).
While doing one's everyday prayers, say the following prayer, “Let me become
aware of my personality defects.” Additionally, one should give autosuggestions to
remove the defect, per the upcoming guidance in the Weekly Online. If there are
any doubts regarding the guidance, the local guiding seeker should be contacted,
or contact us at weekly@sanatan.org.

Along with efforts to develop
spiritual emotion, seekers should develop their fighting spirit
(kshatravrutti) by listening to the kshatrageet (war
songs)
|
In the ongoing war against
distressing energies, prayers said with spiritual
emotion and repeating (chanting*) The Lord’s Name are a
seeker’s main weapons. Seekers are making efforts develop spiritual
emotion. However, we cannot fight with the distressing energies with
only the savior (tarak) form of spiritual practice as the destroyer
(marak) form is also necessary. Thus, in order to awaken fighting
spirit, seekers should listen to kshatrageet (war songs) published
by the Sanatan at home or in the ashrams at
times when repeating (chanting) The Lord’s Name is not occurring.
These war songs are written, composed and sung by seekers hence have
a lot of divine consciousness (chaitanya) and energy, and will lead
to an increase of the same in the surrounding environment. The increased
fighting spirit in seekers will also make it difficult for the distressing
energies to enter the home or ashram.
Seekers should take care to see that neighbors are not
disturbed due to the volume of the songs. The audio tapes are published in three
languages, namely, Marathi, Kannada and Hind,i and are available at your nearest
Sanatan center or by e-mailing us
at sanatan@sanatan.org. The spiritual
experiences (anubhutis) related
to these songs can be sent to Ku. Rajashri Mamledar, Sukhsagar, Ponda, Goa via
post or e-mail at dspgoa@sancharnet.in. |

Sri Durga Devi has said that
56% of seekers were able complete the collective
chanting on December 15, 2003!
|
Sri Durga Devi had told us
to collectively repeat (chant) ‘Om Sri Durga Devyai Namaha’ on
December 15, 2003. This was in addition to the normal five-hour repetition
(chanting) of The Lord’s Name seekers have been advised to
do every day, thus making it a total of eight hours of repeating
(chanting) The Lord’s Name. Sri Durga Devi has said that 56%
of seekers were able to complete the repetition (chanting) as She
had advised
Let us express gratitude and pray to Sri Durga Devi for Her blessings!
The repetition (chanting) done by seekers on December 15,
2003 could only happen due to the energy and blessings given by Sri Durgadevi.
Let us pay our gratitude at Sri Durgadevi’s feet for these blessings. If
She had not given us the energy and blessings, then all seekers would not have
been able to do this repetition (chanting) of Her Name. In Spirituality, no act
can happen without God’s or Guru’s grace. To obtain it all seekers
should pray as below :
‘O Goddess, for obtaining Your blessings and grace constantly,
whatever actions are necessary to be performed by us, please get
those actions done by us from time to time and appropriately. Your
grace and blessings be on us constantly’, this is our prayer
at Your feet ! |

Understand the very importance
of repetition of the
Lord’s name and do five hours chanting everyday!
|
In our quest towards God realization,
repetition (chanting) of the Lord’s Name is very important.
It is necessary that every seeker do five hours of chanting every
day.
All seekers are advised to do their five hour chanting
in the following manner: One hour ‘Om Sri Durga Devyai Namaha’; two
hours of ‘Om Gan Ganapataye namaha’ (repeated 3 times) followed by ‘Om
Namo
Bhagavate Vasudevaya’ (repeated 3 times); and two hours of the Name detemined
for
each individual from the experiment in Issue 124,
Messages to Seekers section. Seekers who have intense distressing energy trouble,
and have been recommended a special Name or Names to repeat (chant) by subtle
department seekers can continue with the special Name or Names for the required
time duration.
However, there are some seekers who are not troubled
by distressing energies and who do not do their satseva in
the proper manner, for example, not listening to others, not putting things back
where they belong, not being polite with co-seekers, thinking only about oneself
while performing any activity at the physical and mental level, etc. Such seekers
should in fact cut down the hours of repeating (chanting) The Lord’s Name
and first concentrate on correcting their behavior at the physical and psychological
level.
The seekers who carry out activities at the physical
and mental level in a correct manner should do the five hours of repeating (chanting)
The Lord’s Name everyday for the following reasons:
| 1. |
To increase
ones spiritual strength to fight against the distressing energy
troubles one is facing now or in the future. |
| 2. |
As a solution
for the obstacles from distressing energies. |
| 3. |
To increase
efficiency. |
Seekers who do not have any distressing energy
trouble feel it is not that it is an absolute necessity to repeat
(chant) The Lord’s Name and hence do not pay attention to
the advised five hours of daily repeating (chanting) The Lord’s
Name. There are some seekers who feel that if they do their satseva
in a perfect way, then repeating (chanting) The Lord’s Name
becomes an option. For such seekers, point number three applies,
and so they should do their five hours repeating (chanting) The
Lord’s Name.
In short, the seekers who do not do each
activity in the correct manner at the physical and mental level
should try to achieve this and then go to the next step of completing
their five hours of daily repeating (chanting) The Lord’s
Name. As for the seekers who are already doing the advised five
hours of daily repeating (chanting) The Lord’s Name, they
should persevere in their spiritual practice.

The minimum of repetition
(chanting) of The Lord’s Name
advised for child seekers, according to their age
|
Age group |
Minimum chanting |
| Under 10 years |
1/3 of chanting told to adults* |
| 10 – 15 years |
2/3 of chanting told to adults |
| Above 15 years |
As told to adults |
* For example, if adults have been advised to repeat (chant) The
Lord’s Name for 3 hours, then for a child under 10 years
of age, it would be 1 hour.
The repetition (chanting) of The Lord’s
Name for children should be done as above whenever Sri Durgadevi
advises special
days and deity Names to repeat and also at other times.
The
child seeker who can do it himself, should do so as it is more
beneficial.

Kindly report about so-called
seekers
who are including castes in their spiritual discussions
|
Its is come to notice that
some so-called seekers have been discussing the following: ”In
Sanatan Sanstha, there are only Brahmins or people of some particular
caste. The Brahmins are made in-charges and others are made to
do other satseva.” Such discussions are creating doubts
in the minds of new seekers leading to them drifting away from
spiritual
practice.
In reality, there is no such differentiation
made between castes, sects or status in the Sanatan. Thus, any
so-called seekers who are
inserting such caste-related issues should immediately be reported
to Dr.
Durgesh Samant along with their name and the precise words said
by them. |

| In the treatment of the
trouble caused by distressing energies, seekers make use of aprons
and caps. In case of a distressing energy manifestion in a seeker,
seekers roll on the ground, resulting in their aprons and caps getting
spoiled. To avoid this, seekers should use old or unused aprons and
caps. The Sanatan’s old cloth banners also can be used as bedding
for such seekers. The centers with extra aprons, caps and cloth banners
can collect the above and forward them to ashrams where seekers are
treated for problems due to distressing energy (e.g. Miraj, Ponda
(Goa), Devad (Panvel)) as required. |
*Repeating or remembering The Lord’s Name according to one’s
religion or as determined from the experiment in Issue 124,
