Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 I took a maun vrat yesterday for a few months, and today this book fell on my head when I was going through a heap of papers. So here is the vaak chaturya prayog. When to do? Can be done from 15 days before basant, or any navratri. Besides that any Friday morning What is required? 1 raag mani, three trichakras, 1 hakeek mala, Deepak, mango leaves, agarbatti, water in a copper tumbler Spread white cloth on a wooden stool, spread mango leaves on it and then place place the three trichakras on the leaves. Keep the raag mani in copper plate. Light the Deepak, incense and then chant Aum Gloom Kloom Hroom Hum (11 malas) this is a tantrik sadhana. That said there are only tow kind of successful sadhaks I have seen. One who perform anusthaans, and two who chant lesser –say 5 mala- but on regular basis and follow niyam. A third kind too who have a lot of devotion and whatever they do succeeds immediately. So my advice still would be that do this prayog, but multiply the effect by chanting saraswati mantra. And break this vaak chaturya in to pieces. To be an impressive orator you need to work on three aspects 1) assuming basic intelligence clarity of thoughts needs to be acquired. The solution is reading and thinking. What works best is not accessible to all – company of an illuminated soul. 2) mastering a language or the language. Again the solution is reading, listening and speaking. I agree with biru bhaiyya on this issue. One should work on first getting the grammar right and then worry about improving vocabulary. Clarity of expression can be achived by simple words as well. 3) use antar chetna I was once told by an illuminated soul perhaps not pertaining to winning arguments but giving gyaan to people. "Agar tum kisi ko gyaan dena chao, jo tuhen lage uske hit me hai aur tum chahte ho ki woh use apna le to yeh tabhi asar kar sakta hai jab us gyaan dene me tere aham ki boo na ho. Aise bolo jaise yeh tere shabad hi nahin hai aur apne aap andar hi andar prerna ho rahi hai aur shabd mukh se nikalte ja rahe hai. Tabhi us ka labh hoga. Varna sab vyarth hai." If you wish to give wisdom to another person and feel what you are saying is in his welfare, you will only be able to give if you can keep your ego aside and not let it spread stench around. Speak as if the words are not your own, surrender your self to the supreme, and you will be surprised by how much good you can do. I was much surprised by this being told to me as I had no intention of giving gyaan to anyone, and neither do I have it in the first place. But I make this mistake often here – in speaking my ego flares up all the time and even though what I have said in the person's welfare (I THINK!), it is lost. So surrender yourself to the supreme invite saraswati to sit on your tongue and speak extempore. Winning arguments will then be no big deal and you will win them without a heated debate. that is why i quoted: jo sumiraheen shaarda bhavaani kanth sudha ras amrit baani Jai gurudev anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
