A Gentle Warning to All Seekers

36 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I was recently contacted to intervene in a dispute that reached our subreddit. I cannot speak to the validity of any party involved or the issues raised. However, I find that there is some value in some of the warning provided so while I will be likely removing the original post, I want to present a soft warning to individuals in general.

There are always individuals and groups that will seek to take advantage of people. Be it scams, religious indoctrination, trafficking efforts, or recruitment of other types.

Some of these efforts will begin with PM's/DM's. If you have not contacted someone, they are contacting you, be on your guard.

Be aware that not all individuals are supportive of non-traditional paths. Expressing support of, or belief in an individualized path to Devi may result in friction with individuals who support more traditional systems.

Be aware that anyone seeking community may become a target for those who seek power and control.

Women seekers are often targets for a number of efforts, Women should exercise increased caution.

If something feels off, pushy, or too good to be true – it usually is. Trust your intuition.

Extreme Case of ABHICHAR Kriya Help!!

Post image
5 Upvotes

Abhichar kriya has happened in my family

Ucchartan

Bhuddhi bhandhan

Ghar bandhan

Use of maya to create vighna in upaya

And etc.

My isht is Maa Kali. I love her the most in the world

But some very powerful lower entity is wants a very

Brutal death of me and my family

I have never SLEPT FOR 4 YEARS

I just switch worlds from physical world

To A negative lower world pret/phicha

Where I see black and dark environment

Creatures extremely insane

And they all torture me there

I see sometimes see a powerful lower entity in the form of energy which cannot be described in physical world

Which is beyond maya and anything physical

It's kind of a lower shakti

And it is very expert in controlling maya

Ones this lower divine energy laughed at me just in the sense like I (me) am only a child in this game (world)

Like I cannot even touch or can't even give a scratch to it

Even very siddh sadhus and mahapurush are unable to solve my problem

They also fall in the trap of this energy (even after I warn them)

Or gets into coma or DE%D after taking the case

Even normal people gets possessed in this asuri maya to harm me and my family

Even doctors sometimes notice in my eyes

That I suddenly wake up or not have a proper sleep

But I try to change the topic

AM ONLY 20 YEARS OLD AND MY WHOLE CARRIER IS RUINED

MANY ALWAYS TRY TO End Every ThingBUT EVERY TIME IT'S FAILS BECAUSE THE LOWER BEING S WANTS TO TORTURE ME

my family is completely possessed by lower beings

Even after I say them that they are not in good situation

They ignore me

MANY poojas, tripindi, kuldevta pooja has been done

But I found that

Our Kuldevi, Kuldevta and pitrus are in bhandhan

OUR MAJORITY OF MONEY IS MYSTERIOUSLY GETS STOLEN. EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE HOUSE

NOW I NAVRATRI I TRIED SOME POOJA MYSELF TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

FROM 2 DAYS I FEEL LIKE AS I AM IN COMA

BHEHOSHI, EXTREME PAIN IN HEAD, NEGATIVE BEINGS TORTURING MORE, FEELS LIKE WHOLE PRANIC ENERGY IS DISTORTED, BURNING SENSATION IN BODY, THREATS FROM LOWER BEINGS

I stopped my pooja lying and shivering in my bed

AND MY father is in some kind of service so many big businessman and powerful people are constantly in contact with him

I don't know but I think Awakening of a entity this powerful requires a huge amount of money or power

(entity has even ruined or killed many siddh mahapurush, aghori, siddh sadhus. It's a powerful demonic entity)

It started when we moved to a new house

Then effects of the kriya started

SO I FIANACALY, PHYSICALLY, METANLY, ASTRAL BODY, CARRIER WISE I AM COMPLETELY RUINED

Only thing I pray to Maa is TO SAVE MY FAMILY

ANY EFFORT

OR HELP

OR ADVICE

anyone could give me For Free (unfortunately I don't have anything to give as I am ruined financially)

WILL BE A GREAT HELP FROM YOUR SIDE

(In Kaliyug Dev Gana is getting destroyed piece by piece,

Every linkage to truth and god is breaking

As Asuri Dal and Shaitan are Influencing the minds (puppets))

JOY MAA KALI

Navratri and periods: Can I continue with physical puja instead of mental japa, and are there any ill effects?

3 Upvotes

Hey , I really need some genuine suggestions here.

During Navratri, if we get our periods, what do you guys usually do? Traditionally, we are told to step back from physical puja and stick to mental japa, but I really want to continue with the physical puja of Devi Maa.

I wanted to ask:

Do you continue doing physical puja during this time, or how do you manage it?

Is there actually any negative or "ill effect" if someone chooses to perform physical puja during their periods?

Would love to hear your honest thoughts and what works for you. Thank you!

Need Guidance regarding Lalitha Sahasranama from fellow devotees .

4 Upvotes

I am a devotee of Maa Lalita, and I really want to meditate on and listen to the Lalita Sahasranama regularly. However, the problem is that it is around 30 minutes long, and I find it difficult to listen to it continuously for that long. Sometimes my head starts hurting, or I end up falling asleep.

I genuinely want to do this as a part of my spiritual practice, so I wanted to ask fellow devotees if there is any solution to this.

Would it be okay if I listened to just the first 5-10 minutes on the first day and gradually increased the duration over time? Or is there another way to listen to it without falling asleep or getting a headache?

I would really appreciate any advice or guidance from fellow devotees.

Jai Maa Lalitha

I only listen to Namakam

1 Upvotes

I am a regular listener of Sri Rudram. I started this habit from mid this year and it has given an impact in my thinking. At first I didn't know the verses properly, but as I gradually embraced the chantings, I realised, that the Namakam is the praise of the first ever warrior in this universe, The Rudra himself, and the Chamakam part is the worship for getting blessings from him. When I placed the Chant in my life, I realised, I am no longer in need of anything, as I am becoming the one.

Stuck between what to believe

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

Traditionally we follow very strict guidelines for Navratri as per our Kul parampara. We fast for nine days and then do Kul Devi poojan on Navami tithi. We have to take bath and prepare food early morning on Navami and then do the pooja. Everything is done in only silk cloths, following proper Shauch guidelines, not touching here and there.

My parents, my wife and I have two daughters in total we are 6 people. From last two years my wife is getting her periods in Navaratri days. In such cases she avoid anything related to pooja till the Ninth day.

Now my elder daughter on one hand says this is all superstition and she does not believe in it. She says that devi herself if Female and she should not have any problem with mensurating female. However on other hand my traditional parents have to follow things very strictly specially in Navratri. Even this year it is same. What should we do? Either we can hide this from my parents and she can do whatever she does for pooja. Or should we follow what our family has been following. Since it is Shakti upasana, we also don't want to do things that can be dangerous.
