So that no reader has any problem in this regard, some important and special information is being given in this chapter-
How to obtain the root
The root of a particular tree or plant is used in various remedies. How you obtain that root is a matter of curiosity which needs to be clarified. Whenever you want to get the root, one day before that, go to that tree with a pot of clean water, two incense sticks, some yellow rice. Clean the area around the roots of the tree. Do not use a broom for this. After cleaning, offer the water from the pot on the root. Light the incense sticks. After this, put the yellow rice on the roots. Then with folded hands, mentally request that O Tree God, I will come tomorrow morning to take you with me. Please come with me and do good to me. You can also request this in any other way according to your convenience. It was made clear here, then while inviting someone, yellow rice was given as an invitation with respect.You are also inviting the root to come to your home, so definitely offer yellow rice. After this, you return back home. Before going inside, definitely wash your hands and feet. Next day, after bathing and meditating, go near the tree with a pot of clean water and incense sticks. Also take a pointed piece of wood with you. Offer water to the roots of the tree. Light an incense stick and again mentally request that O God, today I have come to take you with me, please walk with me and do good to me. After this, slowly remove the soil with the help of the wood. When the root is visible, break it with the help of the wood. Level the dug out soil again. Bow down and put the root in a pot and come back. Wash your hands and feet properly before going inside. After this, use the root as per the method mentioned. Pay special attention to two things in this. While removing the root, always use a piece of wood. Never remove the root with an iron object. What is the reason for this? Most readers and writers also do not know why it is forbidden to remove the root with any iron object? This is also being clarified. Iron is considered a hard metal.
Iron is used in most weapons, so it is considered a symbol of hardness and evil. Wood is soft, so it is a symbol of humility. When you invite someone to visit your home for your welfare and help, the invitation should be polite. You cannot invite someone by being an embodiment of harshness. That is why it is always instructed to use wood to dig the root. The second special thing is that while collecting the root, you should keep chanting any mantra of your Ishta. Chanting mantras will keep you motivated. This will definitely make your work successful.
How to make a Yantra
Everyone is well aware of the effect and importance of Yantras. In some chapters of this book, there are references to the use of Yantras. Usually Yantras are made on Bhojpatra and Copper Sheets, but in the absence of Bhojpatra, it can be made on normal paper as well. For Yantra writing, Ashtagandha ink is usually used, but in some chapters of this book, the use of the juice of the root or leaves of a particular tree or plant has been mentioned so that the Yantra can have its effect. If writing is only mentioned with the juice of the root or leaves of a tree, then you can also use saffron. If there is a mention of adding other substances in addition to the root-leaf juice, then it can be used. For the pen, mainly the pen made of pomegranate twig is used, if you are not able to get it, then it is said that writing can be done by mixing saffron in the juice as well. If it is not easily available, then you can use the twig of jasmine. If this is not available then it is necessary to make a pen from the branch of Peepal tree and after writing the Yantra, it is necessary to make it perfect. For this, choose a secluded and clean place in your house. After purifying the place, keep the table near the wall in such a way that your face is towards the north or east. Keep all the materials for writing the Yantra near you and write the Yantra. Before writing, remember your Ishta. After writing, keep it on the table. Keep a pot of clean water on the table, light an incense stick. Now chant the mantra of your Ishta one, three or five times. If the Yantra is being made to get the blessings of some god or goddess, then chant its mantra and then use it as told. Have faith in your mind that you will definitely get its benefit.Special- Some Yantras are used to get rid of some kind of obstacle. For this, black ink is usually used. In this also, the Yantra is written with camphor or kajal prepared from a special root. If you want to make kajal from a root, then take sufficient amount of sesame oil for it. Put it in a clay lamp. Put the root mentioned in it as well. Make a thick wick of cotton and put it in the lamp. After this, place bricks etc. on three sides of the lamp and arrange it in such a way that a big lamp can be placed upside down on it. The height should be just enough so that when the lamp is lit, the flame of the wick touches the lamp placed upside down. In this case, a black layer will form in the lamp due to the flame. This is the kajal. While writing the yantra, dilute it a little by adding the juice of the leaf of a particular tree or plant and write the yantra. Always write this type of yantra facing the south direction. The method will be as before.
