Sadhana of The MOON

The planet moon in astrology rules the mind and all feelings. Among all planets moon moves
fastest from one sign to another. And not just this, every month for two and a quarter days it
remains in its sign of exaltation. When lovers meet, the moon forms the backdrop of their poetry.
What more it adorns the locks of Lord Shiva because of which he is known as Chandrashekhar.
The Sadhana of this very heavenly body is amazing in itself.
The sun gives light, but Moon provides inspiration. If you look at the sun without shielding your
eyes you will go blind. If you look at the moon without covering your eyes you will become a
poet.
The incident goes back to the time when India had won the war with Bangladesh and the whole
nation was lauding the bravery of the Indian army. At that time a Colonel used to be a frequent
visitor to Gurudev's place in Jodhpur. Boasting was his habit. One day when Gurudev had just
concluded Vat Saavitri worship for a group of young Sadhaks he dropped in and like always
started to gossip. Among other people present there at that time was Bela Bose, a Bengali
Sadhika who had just returned from Kamakhyaa (the famous Shakti seat in Assam) having
successfully accomplished some very powerful Sadhanas suggested by Gurudev.
To her the colonel's highfalutin talks seemed unethical especially when he sat before Gurudev.
He was criticising astrology and praising the feat of the Indian army in a manner which irritated
everyone. Suddenly Bela interrupted him and said - Colonel! No doubt safeguarding the nation is
a task to be proud of and the whole nation is today showering accolades on our soldiers. But they
are men while you definitely are not.
These words incensed the colonel and he uttered something angrily which I cannot recall. But
Bela retained her cool and said - Don't get excited! Just go to the toilet and see for yourself
whether you are a man or not.
The sinister tone of her words made the colonel jump to his feet and rush to the adjoining toilet
where he realised that his manhood had simply disappeared! On the verge of tears, he came out
and started to plead and apologise. But Bela was unmoved and innocently she said - Well I have
not yet fully mastered this Sadhana and hence I cannot help you.
Tears started to flow from the colonel's eyes and Gurudev was moved by his plight. In light
words he scolded Bela, who said - Fine, let him first vow never to speak against astrology. Then
he can go to the toilet again.
The colonel went to the toilet and that was his last visit to Gurudham. It was years back on the
occasion of Holi that Gurudev had taught Bela this Sadhana just for fun. But later when she
displayed an inclination and determination to learn more, he had made her accomplish some
really powerful Sadhanas at Kamakhya.

Gurudev gifted these Sadhanas to Bela after having studied the position of moon in her natal
chart, which promised quick success with no future possibility of misuse of the powers thus
gained. The greatest significance of the planet moon lies in the fact that it controls the five subtle
and five gross senses that run human life. All these senses are controlled by the mind and the
ruler of mind is moon.
The Vedas say -Chandramo Manaso Jaatah i.e. moon and the mind are the same. If we look at
it spiritually then we find that the moon is so filled with divinity that it is known as the source of
divine elixir. That is why another name for moon in hindi is Sudhaakar. In the hindi month of
Sharad on a full moon night even today people place Kheer (sweet porridge of rice, milk and dry
fruits) in the moonlight and along with it they carry out some special Sadhana, which aims at
attainment of perfect health throughout the year ahead. This is also done to cure asthma.
Even Lord Shiva who is called the God of gods, whose only aim is the welfare of mankind has
the moon adorning his forehead and hence is also known to his devotees as Chandrashekhar. If it
is Monday on Shivratri or when the moon is placed in Taurus, then moon is said to be the most
benefic. During such propitious days a Sadhak should go in for Sadhana in order to make the
moon more favourable.

Akshay Paatra Sadhana

For overall prosperity in life !
Very secret and important Sadhanas appear in this magazine. We always remain endeavouring to
obtain the Sadhanas of our ancient Rishis and ancestors and present them to the Sadhaks through
the medium of this magazine. This is done with the view that it would not only enable the
Sadhaks to become perfect in Sadhanas rather it would also help preserve the ancient science of
Sadhanas.
With the same aim we produce here a very wonderful and amazing Sadhana which is called
Akshaya Paatra Sadhana.
The eldest of the five Pandavs, Yuddhishtthir, was a very pure minded and honest person. He was
very upright and just and even in the most trying situations of life he never opted for the path of
injustice. But due to past Karmas he lost everything he had - his kingdom, wealth and property in a gambling match. He even put at stake his wife and lost her too. As a result he had to face
exile of twelve years and in this period he had to face problems, sorrows and obstacles at each
step. Along with him his four brothers Arjun, Bheem, Nakul and Sahdev and wife Draupadi too
were exiled.
It was the habit of Yuddhishtthir that he never had food without first offering meals to Brahmins.
There was not enough for the six individuals to eat. What could they offer to Brahmins?
Brahmins and Sanyasis used to follow him in large groups in the hope of getting rich food. He
prayed to them and said - I have been exiled. It is not possible for me to feed you. Hence I
request you to leave and return to your homes.
The Brahmins said - When we kept your company in good times, we shall continue to do so in
the bad times as well. You should not worry. We shall make best efforts and find a Sadhana
which shall solve your problem.
Thereafter one of the scholars, Dhoumya, explained the secret Akshaya Patra Sadhana and said
to Yuddhishtthir - You should accomplish this Sadhana. Through it you would never have to face
any paucity regarding food, clothes or residence in your life. Then he explained the Sadhana to
the Pandavs.
This is a very amazing and secret Sadhana. When Yuddhishtthir started to do this Sadhana, Rishi
Dhoumya prepared an Akshaya Patra in special auspicious moments. This was made from copper
and had the shape of a bowl. It was prepared in special moments when the sun was in its own
asterism. Having prepared this Akshaya Patra it was consecrated with powerful Mantras no less
than eighteen times. These eighteen steps make this Sadhana article divine and boon bestowing.
After this the Akshaya Patra was further energised with the Mantras of Suryopanishad and then
with the Akshaya Patra Mantra. It is such a very Sadhana article that proves efficacious for this
ritual.

After having prepared this wonderful Sadhana article Rishi Dhoumya gifted it to Yuddhishtthir.
When Yuddhishtthir accomplished this Sadhana, Sun appeared before him and spoke the
following words.
Te Bhilashitam Kichitatvam Sarvamvaapsyasi. Ahamannam Pradaasyaami Sapt Pav Cha Te
Samaah.
O Dharmaraaj! What ever you wish for you shall surely have. The Akshaya Patra that you have
used in this Sadhana shall provide food to you for twelve years. Whatever you ask of it I shall
provide and it shall appear before you. You might ask for food, clothes and even gold ornaments.
This Akshaya Patra remained with Yuddhishtthir for several years. The amazing thing about this
bowl was that whatever food item once appeared in it, the same would continue to appear no
matter how much was taken out. Through this amazing Sadhana article Yuddhishtthir would feed
thousands of Brahmins daily. And till Yuddhishtthir finally had his food the desired articles
would continue to appear from it.
Not just food, through it Yuddhishtthir would obtain wealth, money and any desired article. Thus
with the help of the Akshaya Patra the Pandavs spent twelve years in the forest without any
paucity and finally they fought a war and defeated the Kauravs to get back their kingdom.
In the text Mahabharat it is mentioned that if a person accomplishes this Sadhana gifted by
Dhoumya he would obtain amazing riches from the Akshaya Patra and all his life he would never
face any shortcoming materially.
Imam Stavam Prayatmanaah Samaadhinaa Patthedihaanyopi Varam Samarthayan Tat Tasya
Daadyachch Ravirmaneeshitam Tadaapnuyaad Yadyapi Tat Sudurlabham.
Even the Yogis of Siddhashram have accepted that in the present age of Kaliyug, Akshaya Patra
Sadhana is the most important and produces amazing results. If a Sadhak accomplishes it with
full devotion and concentration then through it he can obtain clothes, gold and rich food. Then all
through life this amazing Sadhana article proves beneficial.

Sadhana Process
This Sadhana can be started from any Sunday. In the morning of a Sunday get up early in the
morning, have a bath and wear fresh white clothes. Sit on a white mat facing East. On a wooden
seat spread a red cloth and on it place an Akshaya Patra. First bathe Akshaya Patra with fresh
milk and then with water. Wipe it dry and make seven marks with vermilion on the Patra.
After this take a fistful of rice grains and place them in the Akshaya Patra. Then offering prayers
to the Sun chant the Mantra eleven times. The whole Sadhana hardly takes half an hour. If some
day the Sadhak is busy or absent from home his wife, son or any other family member could do
the Sadhana.
Do this regularly for eleven days. It is not necessary to light incense in the Sadhana but do light a
ghee lamp.

I have several experiences related to this Sadhana. I personally made five disciples from the
family life and four ascetic disciples perform this Sadhana. All of them were able to achieve
success in the same. Today there is no paucity, sorrow, poverty or shortcoming in their lives.
They have to just place the Akshaya Patra before them and chant the above Stotra once and the
desired article appears in it. Or if they have some wish then the very same day it is fulfilled.
I have observed that the Akshaya Patra is not just capable of providing food, clothes and gold
rather if some problem is spoken out before it then that too is solved very soon. Even the most
incurable disease can be cured through this Sadhana.
Once my son became severely ill and he had to be admitted to the hospital in a critical condition.
The doctors said there was no hope. But I had full faith in this Sadhana and the Stotra. I sat by
my son's bedside and chanted the Stotra five times and within a few minutes he regained
consciousness. In 24 hours he had recovered completely!

Through this very Sadhana I was able to cure thyroid problem of my mother. I would daily fill a
glass with water and chant the Mantra five times. Then I would give the water to my mother to
drink. In a month she had recovered fully. Such an ailment, which is believed to be incurable,
was cured. Even the doctors were left dumbstruck by the result.

Amazing rituals
1. If an evil ritual has been used against you or your business or if you feel you have become
very weak then fill the Akshaya Patra with water and having chanted the Mantra for 45 minutes
sprinkle the water over yourself. Soon adverse effect shall be removed for ever.
2. If someone is troubling you without reason, if a foe is proving to be the cause of tension, if a
government official is proving to be troublesome then try this ritual for getting rid of the enmity,
Place the Akshaya Patra before yourself and take water in the right palm and pledge thus - May
this work of mine be accomplished. This person is giving me trouble. May this enmity end.
Let the water flow to the ground. Then dropping a rice grain into the Akshaya Patra each time
chant the Mantra. Do this for 51 minutes. After Sadhana boil the rice grains and throw them in
the South direction. Soon your problem shall be solved.
3. If suffering from some disease fill the Akshaya Patra with water and chant the Mantra for
twenty minutes. Then rub the water on the whole body and the afflicted part. Doing this daily
removes even incurable diseases.
There are many more Sadhanas related to this wonderful Sadhana article. Akshaya Patra means
fulfilling of all desires of life. But the above are the main rituals related to it.
One who accomplishes this Sadhana has financial gains in life and he also gains fame, respect,
health and happiness. A spiritual fragrance starts to pour out of his form and the person gains all
the four boons of human life namely - Dharma (righteousness), Arth (wealth), Kaam (physical
pleasures) and Moksh (spiritual upliftment).
In fact Akshaya Patra is a unique and wonderful Sadhana. If the Sadhak chants this Stotra just
once daily there can remain no shortcoming in his life. Without doubt this is the best Sadhana for
the humans of the present age.
Sadhana articles for this Sadhana shall be sent free of cost to those who make two annual
subscription members for the magazine from among their friends and help expand the
Siddhashram Sadhak Parivar.
