Sita Ram Mantra and Its Blessings
Sankalpa: on the first day of anustan, make a sankalpa or a strong intent that you are going to do
anustan for xx days with xx no of malas of zz mantra seated in the specific place. Call upon the Guru to be
with you and bless you to complete the anustan successfully
Period of anustan: The first anustan is for 11 days. We can do 7 days, 9 days, 21 days anustan
Time of anustan: Fix a convenient time for anustan – in the morning or night. Once you fix the time,
you can deviate by only +5 -5 minutes. We always sit at the same time for anustan. Early morning times are
the best for anustan – brahma murhut – 4 am onwards. Fix the time in morning or evening as per your work
schedule and follow the timings
Place of anustan: Chose a place in your home where you can sit comfortably without getting
disturbed by others. Sitting in the puja room or near the altar helps. Once you select a place for doing anustan,
use the same place again. Because of this rule, you cannot travel out of station during anustan period.
Mantra: Use the Guru Mantra or the Sita Ram mantra or the mantra indicated by the Guru.
Number of rounds of mala: Normally 108 rounds of mala of the mantra are best. We can fix more
malas if we have time. Once the number of rounds of mala are fixed, they should not be changed.
Asan: use the same asan(cloth for sitting – can be a cotton towel or shawl or rug) each time. Ensure
that your asan has a thick padding by putting another cotton blanket down and the asan on top so that you can
sit in comfort. Always keep your asan and your surroundings clean.
Cleanliness: Always take bath and wear fresh clothes when you sit for japa daily. If possible you can
keep a separate set of clothes for anustan.
Try not to get up during the japa period of anustan. If you need to get up for a break of drinking water
or tea or using the toilet, wash hands, legs, face and mouth and then sit for japa. Never sit on asan and drink tea
or eat anything. Make arrangements that you are not disturbed during the time you sit for japa.
Women should not do anustan during the four days of monthly periods. They should have head
shower on the fifth day and then sit for anustan. They add up the previous days of japa done to the continuing
anustan
Always light a lamp or incense (agarbatti) during anustan. If possible use a ghee lamp as this purifies
the atmosphere. Fire is the witness to your spiritual practices.
Do not talk during anustan. Keeping silence increases the power of anustan.
Eat light and fresh foods. As far as possible eat at home and not outside foods. Do not consume any
non vegetarian foods or drinks or drugs.
Maintain celibacy at this time. This greatly increases the power and effect of anustan on the body and
mind.
Keep your mind engrossed in spiritual reading. Do not mix with negative minded people.
Do not curse or use foul language during anustan. It will affect the other person and you will also lose
the blessings and power of mantra that you have gained. Remain calm and be soft and sweet in speech.
Please follow the rules to the maximum. The more strictly you follow the rules, the better results you get. The
progress and evolvement depend on the sincerity, faith and surrender of the disciple. Do the anustan to be best
of your ability and offer all the efforts you have made to God. Doing anustan always blesses the disciples.
