Tantra is how you use the power of mantras in a specific manner for fast results. Unfortunately Tantra is now called ‘black magic’ and most people are scared of it and rightly so. There are six ways of using mantra to manifest results. And it depends on your intention. So choose your intention wisely. eg the Devi Siddhakunjika can be used for maran/ death, maaran/killing, mohan/hypnosis, stambhan/freezing the energies, ucchatan/removal of energies, etc. When using tantra remember that the choice is yours and the karmic repercussions too are yours alone.
There are very few genuine practitioners who know where to use tantra, how to use it and to what extent. But there are several unethical practitioners who for some money are willing to do literally anything for the client. And these are the ‘black magic’ practitioners.
These so called ‘tantric attacks’ primarily affect the subtle body, the Sookshma sharir. And if the victim does not realise what has happened and does not go for help then soon the energy percolates into the physical body and causes severe damage, inside out. A short window of time is available to remove the energy of the attack.
Certain charts are inherently vulnerable to attacks on the subtle body. We can use the horoscope to gauge this vulnerability.
The main planet to be analysed is Ketu. Especially so, if he in the ascendant sign, with the ascendant lord, or the Moon then this is an indication of a high susceptibility to energy attacks. If Ketu gets involved with other planets then it can be used to analyse susceptibility to other types of attack that can occur in life. Especially so if he is associated with the other cruel planets, kroor graha – Sun, Saturn and Mars.
- Ketu with Mars can make you more susceptible to accidents which are linked to these astral forces. These will primarily affect your pranmaykosh.
- Ketu with Saturn will affect your capacity to analyse things pragmatically. You will make small mistakes which can lead to bigger trouble.
- Ketu with Sun can twist your creative genius and create ego issues which lead to overestimating the self and thus getting to trouble.
But on the other hand, this same Ketu can help you by making certain energies accessible. If you are susceptible to energy attacks on your subtle body then it is quite possible that you also have the potential to strengthen this astral energy body. Especially so, if your ascendant lord is well placed and your Moon is strong or at least protected by other planets.
So here are some tips which will help you proactively protect yourself.
- First if you are a student of Jyotish then you should analyse your chart in depth. Note the connection between Ketu and the other planets, the houses and the signs.
- Note if he is conjunct the major planets eg – Ascendant lord, birth Moon, Saturn or Mars. Or if he is placed in the Ascendant sign. Then you have a greater sensitively to the astral planes.
- Next is to note the more sensitive Dasha periods. This would be the Mahadasha of Ketu or Rahu. Also the Antardasha of Rahu or Ketu in the Mahadasha of the conjunct planet ie – Ascendant lord, birth Moon, Saturn or Mars as per your birth chart.
- Finally note the trigger transits – This would be the transit of Ketu, Rahu, Mars or Saturn over sensitive points of your chart. These would be their birth positions, birth Moon, 6th 8th 12th house etc.
- Now note the keywords of the planet who is conjunct Ketu. This will give you the susceptible areas of your life. Eg Mars + Ketu can make you accident prone. Or Ketu + birth Moon can mean hauntings and unnecessary interference from spirits etc.
- Also note the people who are represented by this planet, house, sign. Eg the 4th house means your maternal relatives, older or maternal type of women, etc. Or Gemini can mean your neighbours. Or Saturn can indicate the elderly people you know. These people, as indicated by the personal horoscope, might suddenly appear in your life in these trigger times. They seem helpful, nice and supportive so you might trust them or think them to be your friends. But they eventually they cause deep seated problems which affect your more on the energy level. Ie your pran/ vital energy flow, your emotions or your intelligence ie your subtle body can be affected by their actions. And recovering from this will take a long time.
Events linked especially with Ketu will always give some sign, an omen which, if you are alert, can be interpreted. Shakun shastra, the art of reading omens is an integral part of of Jyotish. Or if you open the standard books on Prashna Kundali, there will a chapter on interpreting omens. Every Jyotishi must have a working knowledge of shakun, it is essential. (For example in the Mahabharat, the King of Gandhar, Shakuni was given the title ‘Shakuni’ because he was an expert at reading omens. It says a lot about his skills that the Mahabharat refers to him only by his title.)
- So keep track of your dreams. Make this a life time habit, keep a dream journal and try to note the patterns of your subconscious mind (this post). If you get dreams with cruel or poisonous animals, or if someone is trying to forcibly enter your house etc.
- Or if you are a normally fearless person but suddenly you develop a fear of the dark or feel like someone is standing behind you, ie you start getting the creeps, then these are early warning signs which you should not ignore. Take corrective action as soon as you notice these omens.
And if you have a chart more susceptible to astral energies then do not get caught in tempting get-rich-quick remedies or get involved with dubious practitioners. Avoid ‘modern age mantras’ which do not have a Vedic connect. Do pujas of standard deities from the Ved. Also do not accept food or water or any such item from someone you do not trust. Do not engage ‘remedies’ or activities which influence other’s free will or can potentially hurt others, ie do not engage in maran, maaran, mohan, vidveshan, or vashikaran types of activities yourself. These will eventually blow up in your face.
Then a remedy for the students of astrology. This is to strengthen the kroor graha, the cruel planets in your chart. But before doing this you have to study your chart properly and find the correct planet who will help you. You can strengthen your Sun, Mars, Saturn or even Rahu depending on which of these is situated to protect you. The harsh energies of these harsh planets will help you handle these aggressions on the astral level. They will give you the rough courage necessary to boldly face and overcome these invasive energies.
Generally these ‘black magic’ activities are performed in at some temple, or at river banks, in forests, at places where 3 roads meet etc. The most powerful ones are done at the shmashan bhoomi. But the worst ones are done in places where dead bodies are buried or in sites of disasters. So be mindful of your surroundings, the omens, or things lying on the road etc if you cross such locations in your routine life.
Then Midnight, midday, evening twilight, eclipse times are favoured for these activities. And tithis like Amavasya, Purnima, ashtami create more powerful energies which can be harnessed by unscrupulous practitioners. Tuesdays and Saturdays are the more powerful vaar/days which can be channelised for such activities.
If you are more susceptible to such attacks then you should be more alert on these days. It would be even better if you proactively use the energies of these days to increase your own protection by doing your own mantras etc.
Tantra is a way of expanding your consciousness with the full protection of your adored deity. But this has a significant potential for misuse as unethical practitioners exist who exploit these energies for harmful purposes. But energy by itself is neutral. it is the intention which gives it a positive or negative direction. So everyone can take proactive measures to protect themselves using common sense tips coupled with tips from Jyotish. So if you feel up to it do use the power of tantra to remain protected in life.
