Summary Transcript - "Anusthana for a deity" - By Rajarshi Nandy. Anushthana is basically a concentrated effort put towards the sadhana of the deity. It is a smaller version of a more technical term which is used in Mantra sadhana of devata which is known as Purusharan. 1> Take Sankalpa - You start Anushthana by taking a Sankalpa, means basically you make a promise to the deity that I will do such and such sadhana for so many days to the best of my ability so that the deity gets pleased. This is the basic gist of the Sankalpa. 2> Duration - Anushthana can be done for a very short or long duration. You also have to decide the minimum amount of the JAPA which is amount of the recitation of the names of Ashtottara namas you will decide to do every day and you decide for how long you want to do. It depends on the individual who is doing it so you may even do an Anushthana for 7 days or 21 days or 40 days or even for 3 months. It's based on your personal assessment of your lifestyle, your capacity and competency. In general, for somebody who's starting initially in the path it is perhaps better to start with smaller duration - maybe 7 days or 11 days something like that and then slowly move on to something that's a bit larger, When you do this Anushtaan, you may encounter obstacles in the sense you may feel bored or some other troubles may come like work pressure. The key is to develop a willpower so that you are able to complete this in spite of any hurdles that come. This willpower eventually will help you into doing higher sadhanas of the deity and generating far more amount of Shakti into your mind and body integrating and generating the element of Shakti that comes in through Sadhana. 3> Pick your deity for the Anushthana - If you are unsure on what to pick, then you can pick something that does not require initiation. Lord Ganpati is one of the best to start off with. So instead of waiting for some Guru to arrive pick up something that is more easier to do and doesn't require that kind of initiation. 4> Mantra - It could be a simple Stotra of the deity and if nothing else is known take the Ashtottara which is the 108 names of the deity. Some Ashtottara namas of some deities are more Tantric in nature which is better to avoid for starters. You can choose deities for which the 108 names are quite simple and also are easily available online. You can take it in Sanskrit or you may even start at the initial/first stage when you are just starting of sadhana you may even do it in your own mother tongue. That's not a problem. Later on there are Sanskrit Sankalpas and other things that will come in. 5> Process - At the beginning stage, you take some water in the palm of your hand. State this thing that I want to do this sadhana for so many days so that the deity is pleased and then drop the water on the ground. Let's take the example of Lord Ganpati Ashtottara Namas - 108 names you may decide that you will do it 11 times or 21 times or 40 or 50 times every day as per your convenience. After take the Sankalpa, the important rule is that you have to maintain your minimum count that has to be done every day which you fixed right at the beginning. So if you're doing if you decide to do 11 times, then 11 times every day and this will go on till the last day of the sankalpa when the whole process gets completed. Here are the steps to follow every day for your Anushthana - 1> Mention your name and gotra while taking the Sankalpa. If gotra isn't known, mention the name of your parents (like son of and daughter of ..) 2> After Finishing the Anushthana, 3> Do "Path/Japa Samarpana" verbally by taking some water in hand. Just like you do during the beginning (like Sankalpa) And Ask for forgiveness. 6> Restrictions - Initially the first sankalpa it is better not to put too many restrictions but if you are more accomplished as an upasaka then you might add restrictions of food restrictions, celibacy restrictions, sleeping on the floor during that period. So it's up to you during initial stages - you don't have to bog yourself down with way too many restrictions which you cannot follow instead focus on completing the Parayana, the reading of the text/Ashtottara for that period of time. That itself is like a small sort of an accomplishment and that will help increase your willpower which will be necessary later on when you go into more higher or more complicated Sankalpas of the same devatha. During this Sankalpa, if you take a 40-day sankalpa etc and you have say after the 20th day your period starts for women so you do not do the sadhana during the four days or five days and do not touch your Mala, you do not go into the Puja room etc. After that is over in 4/5 days, continue with this sadhana and the counting has to be that start from when you paused it. It will not cause any effect in the sadhana. It is the standard thumb rule to be followed in all cases the initial stages specifically so skip those few days and then again continue as if there is no break like that, 7> After you have completed the Anushthana, say 40 day Anushthana is done then ensure that you visit a temple of that deity, spend some time sitting there, make some offerings - flowers, sweets whatever is there give it to the pujari with your name and gotra and give a small Puja in your name make some offerings in the temple. If possible, feed people who are connected to any kind of sadhana of the deity. If you are unsure of it then you might want to feed say for Ganpati if you are doing Ganesha Anushthana etc you might want to feed priest in Ganpati Temple you might want to make an offering to him - some coconut, some cloth/dhoti, some money that's it or if not you might want to feed children who are doing Vedaparayana somewhere in India wherever it's possible if that is also not possible you may want to actually feed little children in a school or something an educational institute of the underprivileged because ganpati has a strong connection to learning. So if you can feed children maybe those who are underprivileged who are studying in some school or somewhere you speak to them and you can sponsor one of their meals or something like that similarly for other deities there are other exercises of feeding or bhojanam that becomes important. So this completes your anusthan properly okay so after you do and understand the longer of course the longer you do the more discipline you are able to bring into it the greater are the changes that you will experience inside you but in any case at the beginning the first stage even a small Anushthana is fine because that gives you the confidence.
I have been doing Keel kavach argala and 108 Namawali of Maa Durga from 2002 , but due to some circumstances I left it and couldn't do any sadhna for almost 2 years ,watching Rajrshi sir gave me the courage and discipline to start my sadhna again and I am on the right path again ,so he might not consider himself a guru but a huge inspiration and guide in my life. I can't thank you enough. Jai Maa adhyashakti.

I chant maha mrityunjay Mantra daily for health and other wishes as told by a astrologer. Also a Tulsi plant has been kept near my window.

Thank You Rajarshi Ji. Can you sometime share some information about Maa Bala Tripura Sundari and how to worship her? One more thing: You're using a condenser mic and the side that shows the "blue" logo that should face you for proper audio. Please adjust the position so we can hear you better sir.

Sir can you please make a video on Nataraja, the Dancing Shiva image 🙏🙏 Every time I see that image somewhere I am completely transfixed by it, I feel like I can just look at it for hours. Would love to know your thoughts on it.
Namskar Sir We want to do sadhanas and for sanatan dharam we need a guru . We want to make you our guru for spiritual journey. Please give a path for us and also provide the way to connect you. We will delighted if you allow us.
Can we do our regular pooja and nityakarmas (Sandhyavandanam and Veda Parayanam) and have the Anushthan done along with it? Rohit Arya ji said dont do too many mantras but I cannot fathom doing just one mantra.
I generally repeat mantras 108 times in the morning once and 108 times on the evening what I wanted to ask is if I have missed once in the evening should I start from the beginning
Sir, Kindly visit North India also. We need your guidance and magnetic presence in North India also. Pleass conduct some programme here as well be it in Kashi or Tripura Sundari, wheresoever you wish. Kindly enlighten us. 🙏
Rajashri ji, 1 saal se meditation and puja start karne ke baad kuchh experience ho rahe he..Jinka matlab nahi samajh pa rahi hu... but aap bataiye please ki golden light dekhne ka kya Matlab hota he? Khuli aankho se subah ke time apne pillow ke uper...light aise thi jaise darawaja open ho aur kahi Bahar se light aa rahi ho
Apne sawalo ke jawab agar apne Ishwar se lene ho to kaise lu? Ek hi number roz roz dikh rahe ho..uska kya Matlab he? Repeatedly same number dikh rahe he..aisa lagta he jaise ishwar kuchh sign de rahe he
@@shalini1373 Baar baar same number dikhna etc ko synchronicity bhi bolte hai (google kr skte ho aap) ye proof hai ki at least koi internal spiritual transformation hua hai. You should have courage and stay on your path
What happens if you take the sankalpe that you will do for example hanuman chalisa 11 for 11 days and then are unable to finish will the diety punish you?
He is so good and inspiring. He is literally like a source of light enlightening us, when we are trapped between all the problems of this materialistic world.
You are phenomenal...i consider you my Guru for spiritual journey. The only speaker who has 1st hand experience but speaks as a commentator giving us a third person or top view of spiritual world I had read Robert Svoboda but after listening to him....my respect for you has increased 10 times You Shri Rajarshi Nandy are at par...no one can be placed near you Please upload videos more frequently Thankyou Sir...regards n love
Few points to add for beginners. 1) Mention your name and gotra while taking the Sankalpa. If gotra isn't known, mention the name of your parents (like son of and daughter of ..) 2) After Finishing the Anushthana, Do "Path/japa Samarpana". Verbally by taking some water in hand. Just like you do during the beginning (like Sankalpa) And Ask for forgiveness.
@@Boya_N_K Sankalp Jaap Hawan Tarpan Marjan and at alast aarti..! Except sankalp other processes should be done every day..! If u have done it correctly ur wish gets manifest as an Yoga is created or situation is created for u so that u get what u want..! This is called Apratyash siddhi..! When u want Pratyakshikaran (Want to see deity with ur eyes) whatever u want vl be done just by wish immediately..! It's like A Movie of Oh my friend Ganesha ..! But u need Very High Tapobal..! All the Best🤞🏻

Bas uske baad kabhi nhi...? 2) anusthan ke time pe jab bhi ashtotara ya koi bhi mantra jab chant karne baithe to koi procedure hai kya ya bas simply kisi mat pe baith jana hai with a candle or diya,....? 3)anusthan ke liye fixed time rkhna hai ya we can do anytime....? Thanx for reading and any tips are appreciated as i m a complete beginner

Pranaam Sir , I want to ask a question. If if I am residing at a place that does not have a temple, how can I go to the devi after Anustaanam, being more specific I reside outside of India and the place does not have any Temple. Please answer this question.
Hi sir, can I keep a photo of kalabhairav at home and do puja? Will it be good to keep an idol and worship at home? If yes, then what are the rules to keep one and the way to do Sadhana? Please advise.

Sir with chanting hare krishna maha mantra I have now started chanting 'Tara Divya namah ' Sir I don't have a guru ... Sir please suggest me some way so that I can get a little experience something I feel very demotivated even after chanting for so long nothing profound is happenin....Gurudev please batadije ki ma sahi se kar Raha hu.. ya kuch mujse galti ho raha he... I tried to contact lots of channels in RU-vid but no one replied.. please gurudev help me out.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Hare krishna gurudev Adesh adesh adesh gurudev
It's not about searching for a special experience, it's about keeping track on the Spiritual path. Wanting some phala of your sadhana is okay, being demotivated Sometimes is also okay and normal, but it is you who has to keep up so the devata shows it's Grace, you cannot say 'ok dev, you Not give fruit, then i will Not Worship anymore'. Just trust the process, trust the sadhana and deity; try to Not wanting Something in Return, Just please the devata by your devotion, and soon you will meet your Guru! Good luck and stability on your Spiritual path!
@@gorakhyogi108 I agree .. but I also don't know the mantra japa that I am doing of krishna and Tara ma are right.. Probably I am doing something wrong in my method... So I want rajasri sir to review too
@@Krishna_mine as I know there are no special restrictions considering the Mahamantra, you dont need diksha. I'm Not a Guru myself but I wouldnt do Sadhana for Tara Not having a Guru, who iniciated you. Probably it's better to keep on the Mahamantra and Reading books about Shreevidya, Tara, Tantra, watching such Channels as this one. Patience is key
Sir what if someone takes sankalp for longer duration anushthanam and by any chance it breaks what are the repurcusions of that. And how to rectify that error?
Dhanyawad Rajarshi Ji, the menstrual cycles were always a question for one and wouldn't take promise/ sankalps ever and didn't know what to do during those times even when one had strong desire to do it on those days as well.
Namaste🙏🏼 i am gujarat i have simple question about anusthan my ishtha dev is hanumanji can i do jaap of hanuman chalisha at night like 12 o'clock becouse my busy schedule of day time
