Navdha Bhakti (नवधा भक्ति): Nine Types Of Devotion Is A Beginner’s Benchmark

You can’t confine your emotions in nine or ten types, if you do, it will turn in shackle — and later on you may not like it. Bhakti (devotion) is our emotions that we have for our deity and it has no rule, deity and devotee become one and nothing can enter in between. If something comes in between both will feel strange to each other. That’s why Rama ate Shabri’s Ber (बेर) which were all tasted by Shabri first; and Krishna wore Radha’s garments.

But people who are so mechanical, whose hearts are so dry — they should start Bhakti with Navdha Bhakti. It may help to change their brain chemistry (let it be just an imitation in the beginning); it may help to see a rainbow in their heart. Later on when the mind and heart are cleaned, they may leave all types of confinements that come to their Bhakti.

So here is nine types of Bhakti:
1) श्रवण — to read or listen about your deity, using books, mp3s, youtube videos, updesha and so forth.
२) कीर्तन — in Kirtan, you can chant your deity’s bhajan or strot, or just the name.
३) स्मरण — to remember, to put your deity in memory all the time, while eating, breathing, sleeping, and so on.
४) पादसेवन — to worship your deity’s feet.
५) अर्चन & ६) वन्दन, — to pray, chant your deity’s name or strot, and to do some Aarti.
७) दास्य — to become servant.
८) सख्य — to be a friend.
९) आत्म निवेदन — to tell the matter of your heart without any hesitation, shame, and fear.

Golden Rule Of Three Years To Get Success

Give yourself completely to whatever you like for three years -- let it be your career, business, health or any other thing of life. Why three years, exactly? Because what is the advantage of sticking to something which isn't giving any result. Time is precious, don't waste if the results aren't coming. Why not less than three years? If we spread these three years for success, we can assume first year is dominated by getting knowledge of the field, second year dominated by execution, and the third year comes the maturity where knowledge and experience of execution strike for success. As an exeption we can stretch these three years into five or six years -- only when there are uncontrollable issues like of health or circumstantial issues.

108 Names Of Shri Surya From Mahabharata

Surya (Sun) is the most important planet as well as a deity. Worshiping Surya increases prana-shakti (life-force), it rays destroy many diseases and it is the biggest source of never ending energy. There is a Strota, called Surya-Kavach, it is chanted for protection, as a deity his protection is very strong — remember the case of Karna in Mahabharata, he was invincible due to Surya-Kavach. This Surya-Kavach wasn’t as it is shown in movies, it was a Mantrik protection which Karna had and on Indra request he promised not to use it in the war. We take note of popular deities, but Surya as a deity is not lesser than others — though there are less Sanskrit literature on Surya (as I know), but whatever it is, like Surya Kavach and Aditya Hriday Strota, I think, is very potent. English Name | हिंदी नाम 1) Om Suryaay Namah | ॐ सूर्याय नम: 2) Om AryMane Namah | ॐ अर्यमणे नम:

Why Two Types Of Navratri Are More Popular

Navratri comes four times in a year: 1) In Chitra (Vasant) Maas, 2) In Sharad (Ashwin) Maas, 3) In Ashadha (आषाढ़) Maas, and 4) in Magh Maas. As it is written in the following Shaloka: चैत्रे आश्विने तथाषाढे, माघे कार्यों महोत्सवः। नव रात्रे महाराज! पूजा कार्या विशेषतः ।। Generally, we are told that two Navratri are for public and rest two Navratri are called Gupt Navratri. These two Gupt Navratri are for the Sadhak --- but it isn't the exact fact. All four Navratri are for general public and for all dedicated Devi Sadhak, there is no secret. Fact is during the time of Chaitra and Sharad, weather changes a lot -- so there are chances of getting diseases. During Navratri due to fasting and purification, all kind of diseases can be avoided, that's why these two Navratri gained significance among public.

Shap Vimochan & Shapoddhar (शाप-विमोचन एवं शापोद्धार) of Shri Batuk Bhairav Mantra / Stotra

The meaning of "Shap" is "Curse," many mantras / Stotras are cursed / Keelit by Rishis and Devatas to stop their misuse. If powerful thing goes in wrong hands, only misuse happens. To remove that Shap, or say to unlock them some Vidhis (methods) were used to be given. So, below is like that. (Pls also consider Utkeelan Mantra & Stotra of Shri Batuk Bhairav .) The Shap Vimochan (Shapoddhar) Vidhi of Shri Batuk Bhairav Mantra / Stotra is as the followings: Before chanting Batuk Bhairv Mool Manta / Stotra, 1) chant below mantra ten times, 2) and Batuk Stav for once. मन्त्र: ॐ ह्रीं बटुक ! शापं विमोचय विमोचय ह्रीं क्लीं । बटुक-स्तवः ॐ वृन्दारक - प्रकर वन्दित - पाद - पद्मम्, चञ्चत् - प्रभा - पटल - निर्जित- नील पद्मम् । सर्वार्थ साधकमगाध दया समुद्रम्, वन्दे विभुं बटुक - नाथमनाथ - बन्धुम् ।।1 ॥
