Get rid of all your problems the tantra way

People in India have been worshipping peepal tree since time immemorial. It is believed that Gods reside in peepal tree.

According to Hindu scriptures, tridev (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) reside in peepal tree.

It is believed that people can rectify pitra dosh, greh dosh and sarp dosh by worshiping peepal. Worshipping peepal also brings good luck.

If the peepal is worshipped, in the proper way, every Saturday then it brings prosperity and peace at home.

Procedure: 

- Light a diya using oil after taking bath on Saturday. Keep this diya near the peepal tree. Take water in a brass vessel and offer the water to the tree. Then offer kumkum, akshat, haldi, supari and flowers.

- After offering the above items chant the following mantra atleast 5 times the number of beads.

'Ashravatyath sumahabhag subhag priyadarshan
Ishtakamashrav mem dehi shatrubhaystu parabhavam
Ayuh prajam dhan dhanyam soubhagayam sarvasampadam
Dehi dev mahavruksh tvamah sharanam gatah'

Know why pandits don't apply kumkum on married women’s forehead?

Applying kumkum or sandalwood paste on the forehead after every puja is considered necessary. But, some pandits apply it on men’s forehead and on women’s bangles.

According to our scriptures, Brahmins should apply tilak on married women’s bangles and not on her forehead. The reason behind this is because no man other than the woman’s husband should touch her.

In Hindu scriptures, it is believed that the touch of another man can ruin that woman’s pativrat (devotion for her husband). A married woman cannot be touched by any other man. Only in case she is not well, a doctor can touch her.

It is also believed that applying tilak on the bangles (which is also a sign of married women) increases the life of her husband. Hence, applying kumkum on the bangle helps her preserve her pativrat along with keeping the tradition of applying tilak after puja.
