There are many types of Anusthaan. In Laghu Anusthaan, 24000 Mantra chantings

are done ( eg. 27 rosary rounds in 9 days) and 240 aahutis are offered in holy

Yagya. In Madhyam Anusthaan, 1.25 Lakh Mantra chantings are done (eg. 33 rosary

rounds in 40 days) and 1250 aahutis are offered in holy Yagya. In Maha

Anusthaan, 24 Lakh Mantra chantings are done (66 rosary rounds in 1 year) and

One-tenth aahutis are offered in holy Yagya. One may also perform Anusthaan of

51000 or 5 lakh rosary rounds. Anusthaan is a concentrated effort. You should

try to complete the Anusthaan in as less number of days as possible for maximum

benefit. An Anusthaan is normally done for completion of some task, or to solve

some problem. The longer you delay the anusthaan, the more will be the delay in

achieving results. Moreover, if you extend it for more time, then there is a

chance of making more mistakes, breaking of celibacy (mental & physical) or

some other strict rule. You should start the anusthaan on a auspicious day.

Details of forthcoming auspicious days of current month are mentioned in the

"What Your Stars Say" page of the Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan magazine, and

also at the Auspicious Moments section at our website. You should follow

following rules during Anusthaan - a. Start on the same time everyday. Perform

same number of rosary rounds daily. Perform Anusthaan at a pure, satvik place

in a pure, quite environment. b. Eat pure vegetarian food during Anusthaan &

Sadhana period. Try to avoid onion, garlic etc. Eat food once a day. c.

Maintain complete celibacy (mental & physical) during Anusthaan period. If your

brahmacharya (celibacy) breaks during Anusthaan/Sadhana period, then you should

stop the Sadhana/Anusthaan and restart the entire Sadhana/Anusthaan again

afresh. d. Perform Guru Poojan and chant one rosary round of Guru Mantra. Then

perform the required daily number of rosary rounds of the concerned Mantra.

Then chant one rosary round of Guru Mantra again. The Ghee/Oil (Depending on

Diety) Deepak should be lighted continuously during the entire Anusthaan

period. Ghee Deepak should be lighted for Anusthaan of Guru Mantra. e. Mentally

meditate on the form of the Diety and Gurudev during all the days of Anusthaan.

f. Don't cut hairs or nails during the Anusthaan Period. One should also

refrain from shaving. Normally, before chanting the mantra for

Anusthaan/Sadhana, one needs to make a Sankalp (pledge) by taking water in one’

right hand palm saying the following in any language - Myself "name"

son/daughter/wife of "father/mother/husband's name" , belonging to "your gotra

or surname" gotra , disciple of Pujya Gurudev Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimaliji am

making this pledge by taking Divine blessings and Diksha from my Pujya Gurudev

Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimaliji on "date & time" at "place name" that I will

perform "sadhna name" Sadhana by chanting "number" rosary rounds for "number"

days to solve "problem details" problem. May Pujya Gurudev stay with me all the

time and guide and protect me. After, this let the water flow to the ground. You

should make the Shankh mudra for sankalp. This Sankalp is an agreement between

yourself and the divine deity. After taking Sankalp, you should perform Sadhana

for the required number of days at the same time. There should NOT be any break

of even a single day after taking Sankalp. You need to take Sankalp only on the

first day. To make Shankh Mudra, wrap all the fingers of right hand on the Thumb

of Left hand as a fist. The smallest finger of right hand should be touching the

base of Thumb of Left hand. All four fingers of right hand should wrap on the

left thumb. Then touch Thumb of right hand with the Index (First) Finger of

Left Hand. Keep other fingers of Left hand parallel to Index Finger. All the

fingers of Left hand should join together. You also need to perform Hawan (Holy

Fire), Tarpan & Maarjan after completion of Anusthaan. Havan is done for

appeasement of Gods (Devataas). Tarpan is done for offering to & appeasement of

"Updevataas" (Gods) and "Pitras" (Ancestors). Maarjan is done for appeasement of

other important yonis; and to remove impurities and purify oneself. Maarjan also

removes bad effects of Rajogun and Tamogun. You should offer 12500 (10% of Total

Mantra chanting) Aahutis (offerings) in the holy fire of havan. You should

suffix the deity's mantra (which you chanted 1.25 lakh times) with the word

"Swahaa". With each chanting of the mantra, you should offer Aahuti in the holy

fire. You may do havan in two shifts, if it is not possible for you to complete

it together. The item to be offered for Aahuti is different for each

Sadhana/Mantra/Deity and purpose. There are specific rituals for performing

Havan/Yagya. Detailed procedure of doing Havan/Yagya (Holy Fire ritual) is

described in book Sarva Siddhi Pradayak Yagya Vidhan authored by Param Pujaniya

Gurudev. Normally, you may use "mango plant" wood sticks in the Yagya. However

different types of woods are used in different Sadhanas. You can place a

camphor between dry sticks and then light it. You should preferably use a

"Havan Kund" for performing havan. Different kinds of Hawan Kunds are

prescribed for different Sadhanas, purposes and Deities. It should be made of

copper. If copper is not available, then you may use any other pure metal

container. For general purposes, you should use a squarish shape havan kund.

The size of Havankund should be 9" X 9" X 9" or 15" X 15" X 15" . You should

perform Guru Poojan before performing Havan. You should also chant at least 4

rosary rounds of Guru Mantra. Then, you should perform Panchopchaar poojan

(worship) of the Sadhana Yantra & photo of deity with Snaan( bathe), Tilak

(mark on forehead), Pushp (flowers), Dhoop (incense), deep (light) etc. Tarpan

should be done for 1250 (10% of Hawan) mantra chantings. You should suffix the

deity's mantra (which you chanted 1.25 lakh times) with the word "Tarpayaami".

With each chanting of the mantra, you should offer a mixture of milk & water on

either Yantra or Idol. Maarjam should be done for 125 (10% of Tarpan) mantra

chantings. You should suffix the deity's mantra (which you chanted 1.25 lakh

times) with the word "Maarjyaami". With each chanting of the mantra, you should

offer a mixture of milk & water on either Yantra or Idol. It is recommended to

perform Havan, Tarpan & Maarjan after completion of Anusthaan. However, if, you

are unable to perform Havan for any reason then you may chant an additional 125

malas (rosary rounds) of the deity's mantra as a substitute by taking a

sankalp. You should mention in the sankalp that - "I am chanting 125 rosary

rounds of the mantra as the Havan Poornaahuti." You should perform Guru Poojan

and chant 4 rosary rounds of Guru Mantra before starting these 125 rosary

rounds. After completion of 125 rosary rounds or havan/yagya, you should do the

following : a. Chant one rosary round of Guru Mantra b. Mentally seek

forgiveness from revered Gurudev for the mistakes (known or unknown) which you

might have committed during Mantra chanting and request for His Aashirvaad and

blessings. Similarly for Tarpan, you may chant additional 12 rosary rounds &

for Maarjan additional 3 rosary rounds. You should mentally pray and meditate

on the form of revered Gurudev before starting the Mantra chanting. You should

also mentally take permission from pujya Gurudev before starting the Mantra

chanting and request for His blessings & Aashirwaad to obtain success. After

the completion of Mantra chanting, you should mentally seek forgiveness from

revered Gurudev for the mistakes (known or unknown) which you might have

committed during Mantra chanting and request for His Aashirvaad and blessings.

If you are a woman, you should stop the Anusthaan/Sadhana during the monthly

periods, and restart it after taking bath on completion of periods (after 5

days). If you feel that you need to go somewhere which might lead to an

interruption, then you should first finish that task, and perform Anushtaan

with Sankalp later. In the meantime, you may chant the Mantra given to you by

Diksha using the mala.

I would like to add a few things. All actvities in the field of science of Tantra,

Mantra & Yantra have their own significance. Some of which have been described

in the mail below. But you should not feel discouraged by these elaborate

procedures. There are many more equally powerfull prayogas and prayoga vidhis

which require much less hardwork and strict discipline. They are easy to do.

They require less time to perform and results come with good accuracy and

speed. These are published time to time in the MTYV Magazine. They are as per

the current demands of time and lifestyles of people. Dont' consider them

anyway inferior to sadhnas done with elaborate anusthaan procedure mentioned

below. Ultimately the basic fact is simple and clear. You should perform your

daily Guru Poojan in proper manner and without any laxity. After that if you

get time then you should do other sadhnas also but alwys keeping in mind the

importance of Guru, proper sadhna materials and need of Shaktipaat Dikshas for

those sadhnas.
