Sadhana for Money

Money - a necessary evil, a necessity above all, power of all powers, a force that moves and rules the current world. We all need money, we all crave more money and, trust me, there are no exceptions. Money is one of the primary reasons for people to turn to mantra sadhanas and when it comes to sadhanas for monetary gains, nothing beats the popularity of Laxmi sadhanas.

 All sadhanas were invented in a very different era. It was a time when money did not exist. It was a time when sadhaks were not made of ash, worthless even to the funeral pyre, and man's selfish desires had not weakened him into virtually instant submission. Today, whatever remains of that ancient knowledge  are interpretations - some partially correct, some totally distorted.

Sadhana for a Renewed Life

When things go wrong, they go wrong in all directions - simultaneously and exponentially. When medicines loose their effect, well-wishers flee and every hope darkens into hopelessness; people are forced to worsen the situation by making all the wrong moves. It's always easy not to accept responsibility for one's wrong doings and blame others for the consequences, it's always easy to keep repeating the same mistakes; but, it takes a lot of wisdom to understand the real potential of sadhanas and the chosen few who do, can always reclaim their lives. My friend Abhigyan (name changed) did recover, but not before going through his share of mistakes.

Cleansing and Reunion

Each sadhana defines the word 'mysterious' in a special way. There are sadhaks who spent their entire life chanting mantras and got nothing; and there are sadhaks who chanted a mantra once and succeeded. It's like being on a crowded platform and waiting for a once in lifetime train to ultimate success which is invisible, inaudible and undetectable by normal means. Those who know exactly when and how, board it while the remaining keep thinking eternally that the train never existed.

Sadhana - The Right Way

Most of us don't even know that sadhanas exist. Those who do are either blindfolded by misconception or manipulated by desires. Sadhanas are mysterious yet very much real; a science that requires correct, complete information and a lot of hard work to yield tangible results.

A sadhana can be divided into these steps:

The Young Student

When my sadhanas started to succeed for real, I needed something to test my capabilities. I got it sooner than I thought.

This boy was about to be thrown out of school. Though his parents tried everything they could, he simply didn't have the ability to learn further. When his parents approached me, I was prepared to refuse to help them; but the boy's innocence was irresistible. Since his parents were willing to bear the expenses, all I needed to do was to put in my efforts in a six month long Mahavidya anushthan. The boy's future was at stake; therefore, I decided to teach him as well.

The Truth

There's no such thing as a simple and easy sadhana, though some people for some strange reasons find it reassuring to believe otherwise. And when their futile attempts force them to face the reality, they fail to control the madness risen from the ashes of expectations and start blaming everyone except themselves. Sadhanas work; yes, they do; if performed correctly and in proper order. But not the way to fit any comfort-seeker moron's imaginations and never without the blessings of an able, real Guru.

The Sadhana for a Sadhana

Sadhanas fascinate all. And I am no exception. The lure of unlimited powers, the dream of fulfilling all desires almost instantly and the lust of absolute supremacy are reasons enough to blind any eye including the most vigilant ones. While making the rare success even more illusive, these reasons sometimes help a Sadhak keep going despite all odds.

Growing Up

Sadhanas are mysterious - all of them. There are innumerable mantras, each with multiple sadhanas associated; still, a Sadhak must always consider the Guru, the mantras and the deities as one. Even if success is a step away; a Sadhak may find it hopelessly impossible enough to abandon sadhana and loose everything gained so far. When they say - "Sadhanas are not meant for everyone", they mean it.

Of Faith, Imagination and Reality

Life is about challenges - facing them with courage ensures glorious victory. Cowards never get started; idle morons who shamelessly beg for mercy and expect others to work for them. The weak die along the way; hypocrites who weasel out hiding behind the veil of difficulties. A rare few, who either win or die, move ahead with unabated determination facing the deadliest of storms and reach their ultimate goal. Sadhanas are meant only for those rare few.

Right and wrong

Under a shroud of mysteries, the world of sadhanas defies both the laws of nature and the laws of science. The sense of right and wrong entangles further as you delve deeper into the puzzle. Your kindest gesture may sometimes turn out to be your worst spiritual mistake.
