Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 There have been number of times when marana etc could have been used against people like Aurangzeb etc. Had these been done successfully it could have saved many lives and temples. How was it that there was no tantrika good enough to use it. Do these kriyas work only against common people or is it that most of the time they dont work and are used only to instill fear and extract money from common man. I have been asked these questions couple of times and have no answer for them. Could someone please explain. Regards Sumanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I have no idea how shat karmas work. But those who enjoy immense power in this world do so because of very good karma of past lives. They are skillful enough not to open the flood gate of the karmaphal of the bad karmas they have done or doing. A wicked & powerful man may continue to plunder and terrorize persons lower than him and successfully keep the fruits of his bad karma at bay. Only when torturing the noble souls, the sadhus & the yogis he runs the risk of opening the doors for his bad karmas to bring their fruits ~ provided his actions created negative impression in the minds of these people. In case of Aurangazeb ~ I doubt, in how many noble minds he was able to create pain (Sant Ramdas may have been one of such souls who was deeply moved by the Islamic carnage on this land. He was rarest of the rare.)

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 i do wonder if there is not an answer to the query of 'where are powerful tantrikas' in the book Dakini Teachings: Padmasambhava's Oral Instructions to Lady Tsogyal<http://books.google.com/books?id=vn-9LFwcF4IC & dq=dakini+teachings+padmas\ ambhava's+oral+instructions+to+lady+tsogyal & printsec=frontcover & source=web & ots=2\ 4zTuCp6fD & sig=SdyoUNkCbw4VZkFWyIK4UWm2W90> they were influential revealers of terma and Tibetan cave hermits... the excerpt linked above has many, if not all of the pages...i read it in the 1990s... they talk about proper ways to practice dharma and the bodhisattva path and realisations and 'superknowledges' that accompany attainment...my guess is that understanding of the real " magic powers " or siddhas that go along with lotus attainment have been all but forgotten for ages (kalpas?) mikal On 01 Apr 2007 09:53:04 -0700, sumantkb <sumantkb wrote: > > There have been number of times when marana etc could have been used > against people like Aurangzeb etc. Had these been done successfully it > could have saved many lives and temples.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 1. Back then, the tantric knowledge of prayogas was not as well spread as it is now, so people who knew of these methods seemed to be very careful about where and how it is used. 2. In my experiences with people who specialize in this form of occult, they will not do anything out of nobility or the general welfare of society. These practices take effort and unless they are properly commissioned or they have some personal vendetta of their own, they wouldnt peform these rites. 3. You can also argue if Aurangzeb had counter measures based on this cultural/religious practices. 4. I was taught that you forgo your right to mukti and all the merits of your good karmas if you practice mArana and vashikarna rites. 5. You are right in saying that the vast majority of " occultists " who offer these services, do not have the capacity to cause death. 6. When you do sadhana to occult devatas like Bagala, Varahi, Dhumavati- you have a period of tim where you do not do prayogas; this is the minimum purushcharana period. Many people change their outlook from performing occult since they develop a taste for the transcendence in one's consciousness as a result of such sadhanas. ^^ few possible suggestions sumantkb <sumantkb Monday, 2 April, 2007 2:53:04 AM Shat karma There have been number of times when marana etc could have been used against people like Aurangzeb etc. Had these been done successfully it could have saved many lives and temples.

Even though fewer people knew about it, I guess there were more adepts present. Tarapith had a history of siddhas till bamadeva, now there is no such siddha purush found there. While the knowledge has definetly spread the number of adepts may have gone down. > > 2.

Take the case of what sultan mahmood to the Shiva Linga there. A large part of tantra has come from Shiva. What kind of a devotee are you if you let that happen thinking about your own mukti.(Anyway we have spent millions of lives, why not one more.) This argument is very similar to what Arjuna says to Krishna at the begining of Gita. > > 3. You can also argue if Aurangzeb had counter measures based on this cultural/religious practices. > > 4.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 We are not actually talking about karma.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 shat karma means the activities / actions before starting any pooja viz 1. PAVITRIKARANM - SPRINKLEING OF WATER WITH MANTRA ON THE BODY 2.ACHAMANIMAYAM - DRINKING OF WATER - THREE OR FOUR TIMES WITH MANTRA 3.SHIKHA BANDHAN - TIDING SHIKHA 4.PRANAYAM - INHAILING - EXHAILING PRAN VAYU WITH MANTRA 5.NYASAH - INSTALATION OF GOD 6.PRITHIVI PUJANAM - SAMRPANAM OF WATER TO EARTH. The daily worship schedule is as follows 1) Brahma Sandhya 2) Pooja 3) Japa and Dhyan 4) Prarthana 5) Suryarghyadan. After sitting down, in order to make the body and mind pure, in order to purify the 5 elements that constitute our body, one performs Brahma-Sandhya. In Sandhya one performs 6 rituals 1) Pavitreekaran 2) Aachman 3) Shikha Bandhan 4) Pranayam 5) Nyas and 6)Prithvi Poojan. Its method is very simple. 1) Pavitree Karan By taking water in the left palm, one chants the Gayatri Mantra and then sprinkle this water on one’s head and entire body. 2) Aachman In your right palm, take water from the tumbler and sip it 3 times (This is called Aachman). Before every sip, chant the Gayatri Mantra 5 times. The palm should not touch your face. If by mistake this happens, wash your face. 3) Shikha Bandhan After Aachman, make your pigtail (Shikha) wet and tie it into a knot in such a way that it does not re-open. This knot is called Aadhi Gaanth( half knot). While making the knot, keep chanting the Gayatri Mantra. Shikha Bandhan rite is performed so as to activate the subtle energy of the Sahasradal (1000-petalled) Chakra (plexus) on the scalp. Those women/ men who do not have hair in that area should just wet that area with water. 4) Pranayam It should be carried out as follows. a) With a serene mind, sit down with the spine absolutely straight, shut the mouth and either shut your eyes or keep them half-shut. Now start breathing in air slowly via the nostrils and mentally chant the Gayatri Mantra – Om Bhur Bhuvasya. Mentally reflect that I am inhaling via many nostrils, the conscious vital force of Brahman (God) which is bliss manifest and destroys all our sorrow. With this sentiment alongwith mental chanting of the Gayatri Mantra slowly inhale twice and thus fill up as much air as possible within your body. b) Now hold your breath and say “Tat Savitu Varenyam”. Mentally imagine that the breath held within is the best. Its brilliance akin to that of the sun is pervading every pore of my being. Now hold the breath for half the time span than you had held previously alongwith this sentiment. c) Now via the nostrils exhale slowly the breath you had held within and chant “Bhargo Devasya Dheemahee”. Mentally reflect that this breath which has destroyed all my sins is departing from my body. The time taken to exhale should be approximately the same time taken to inhale. d) When the internal air is exhaled, hold the breath externally for the same time as you had held it within. Meaning stop inhaling and exhaling and chant “Dheeyo Yonah Prachodayat”. Mentally reflect that Vedic Mother Goddess Gayatri is awakening my sacred intellect. The above actions from a) to d) should be performed 3 times so that the sins of the body, speech and mind are destroyed. 5) Nyasa Nyasa means to imbibe. It involves imbibing, filling, establishing and pervading each pore of our body with the Sattvik (sacred) energy of Gayatri. Fill your left palm with water while simultaneously chanting the Gayatri Mantra. Every time with fingers joined together, dip them in the tumbler of water and touch all parts of the body. While doing so, mentally reflect that all these parts are being made potent and pure due to Gayatri Energy. According to what is written in the following lines, chant the Mantra. And alongwith this, first touch all the bodily parts on the left and then on the right side. 1. Om Bhur Bhuvaha Svaha (head) 2. Tatsavitur (eyes) 3. Varenyam (ears) 4. Bhargo (face) 5. Devasya (throat) 6. Dheemahee (heart) 7. Deehyo Yonah (navel) 8. Prachodayat (hands and legs) 9. The rest of the water should be sprinkled on the entire body while chanting the Gayatri Mantra. 6) Prithvi Poojan a) Mother Earth should be revered as much as Mother Gayatri. Carry out the ritual of offering water, rice grains, flowers, sandalwood, to the earth directly or in a worship vessel (flat). The mental attitude at this time should be that one will sacrifice one’s entire being for world welfare. With this sentiment alongwith mental chanting of the Gayatri Mantra slowly inhale twice and thus fill up as much air as possible within your body. Now the ritual of self-purification has been completed. Now we must commence the rite of worshipping God. sumantkb <sumantkb wrote: We are not actually talking about karma.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 shaT karma always has traditionally referred to mArana, mohana vashyaM, stambhana, ucchATana, vidveshana. At least in the tantric context it has. manoj devsharma <manojdevsharma Tuesday, 3 April, 2007 4:54:11 PM Re: Re: Shat karma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
