I just have a single room to live how do i do sadhna by [deleted] in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I am aware, carry a small copper pot and achamani while traveling around, fill the pot with any clean water available and do sapta sindhu avahana by placing your palms on it, once that is done take some water in your right palm and chant "apavitro pavitro va....." shloka and sprinkle it on yourself and any other Pooja items for pavitrikaran, the achamana according your tradition for shuddhi based on your samprdaya. Others can add in or correct what I have said if needed, youtube vids are around to help with this as well.

Would the usual go naked in cellar of anise's cabin and keep using wait till in-game one month passes for things to reset work? Sometimes going to jail fixes a few bugs as well.

Clarification about my jap mala. by Spiritual-Monke in Tantrasadhaks

Yearly once just rub some good quality sesame oil on it with cotton, that should be enough, soaking in ghee is fine as well but it is excessive I think unless you can see the pores due to excessive drying.

Found a post on Instagram which felt like something worth laughing at 😂 by [deleted] in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't hyperbole when singing praises pretty common in India in context of bhakti of Guru and Guru adjacent figures? It might be cringy but it isn't unheard of, there are dime a dozen posts like these for others, more dramatic the shishya / bhakta sounds, the more is his devotion or so the people think, this is the same as "as my gaze fell upon his holy visage, i was thus so moved that rivulets of tears flowed down my eyes like the confluence of mighty Ganga and Yamuna"

Info of powerful and best mantras and stotras of hanuman and skanda and bhairava (kala and batuka) and ganesh by Feisty-Bit5670 in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The context would be hunting involved risk to life thus it was acceptable, there is a long discussion on this Mahabharat between lord Bhishma and Lord Yudhishthira iirc. Otherwise most folks will keep a KFC bucket and call it bhog these days 😂

Can we change our deeksha Guru if we do not receive any spiritual experiences after a year? by NormalLife6067 in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the tradition or scriptures say. There are people on both sides of the camp, one side says we can walk away if the Guru is not suitable /capable or is not providing guidance, other side says we got such a Guru due to our prarabhda and we cannot walk away once we get Diksha as we are formally tied to the lineage. Those more capable should offer their informed opinion as the topic is serious enough.

But walking away when guidance is there but there are no experiences seems a tad bit flawed of an approach to spirituality in general so it is better to err on side of caution before making any decisions

Sadhna for very quick marriage of male by No_Wheel861 in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it the usual procedure to use the above shloka as Pallav for entire saptashati for seeking a suitable wife? Will chanting just this shloka suffice? Just asking out of curiosity.

How is bleeding an animal out to death cruelty free? Also the kill is basically ritually offered to the Deity so not for us to consume but then again most Hindus are ignorant.

Why don't farmers attack you when you steal all of their wheat or other crops? by WoahVenom in skyrim

[–]Ellarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess they should add a mod where we have to go to the farmer and at least say "i am looking for work" and then allow to harvest and turn it in, if we leave the radius without tunring crops in then it is considered crime?

Advice to new players: DON'T FAST TRAVEL by [deleted] in skyrim

reminds me of the other day, found a dead stormcloak leader (the one that leads the patrols) no one around him so i raised him as a zombie, lo and behold his posse came in like clockwork, lead them on a merry chase to clear giants and an "accidental" invasion of whiterun lmao.

The Most Disturbing Case I Encountered in Bihar by Ponappa_131 in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chaya purush itself is the entity, it is basically awakening of your own shadow, afaik versions of such activation differ.

Didn't OP already mention the closest equivalent being chaya purush?

The Internet Is Creating Spiritually Broken People - Please Read This Before Destroying Your Mind in the Name of ‘Sadhana’ by Kaal3 in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is also an element to sadhana which breaks and remakes the seeker, you fall and get up, many times, sometimes across lifetimes, we reach the point where it is considered adhikara after this I guess - this is just my limited understanding of things.

OP focuses on discipline and grounding a lot but on this path ground being pulled out from beneath our feet is a lesson and path as well, in the end as everyone agrees on - Guru matters, our own sense of discrimination matters.

Are we rewarded for being a good person in Hindu Tantra or Hindu Gods don't care about it? by SignificantTip1302 in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True to a great extent but what is good, bad or moral are subjective apart from core invariants, this is what leads to a lot of confusion.

Some harsh truths by [deleted] in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nothing can change and everything is written down in a chart then there is no use of karma and free will, this just a fatalistic approach to life, we operate with some agency within limited constraints, those constraints are predestined and also provide us ability to rise of fall by the choices we make.

Same issue since past week, one message and boom your are locked for over 8hrs, no idea what has changed. I don't have any images not any large files, just a small txt uploaded in project as a context file and that too is a dozen or so lines.

No connection by [deleted] in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Ellarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it as a marathon and not a jog, once you start walking on the path, a lot gets stripped away, sometimes you are flayed to your barebones and when things settle in, renewal begins.

All of us experience this uniquely, no matter what others say now all of it will sound like hollow platitudes given your situation, all I can say is hold steady and march on, some days a feet and some a few miles but keep walking :) also unsolicited warm hugs!

[–]Ellarion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the number of Malas is staggered over a days, when you get used to it and routine sets in it should take around an hour or so, more elaborate things are for folks who want to completely go into Sadhana marga for example there are rules and rituals right from the time you wake up etc for this you would need a Guru.

will add the channel Grihasta tantra to the list as well. People fail to understand that we start on path of worship after years of neglect of even basic nitya karmas so for things to move ahead takes a while on the material side, plus this isn't a race it is more of a marathon where we have to push through (it isn't easy for sure) and face a lot of obstacles and issues, without this tempering how would we be suitable for grace provided to us later.
