Akbar

Akbar was ruling India and Birbal was his minister. Akbar and Birbal would often travel incognito to collect first hand information about the various happenings within the country. On one occasion, they noticed a Braahman going begging from house to house. Akbar pointed this out to Birbal. Birbal noticed the beggar and kept quiet. After reaching home he sent a word for the Braahman to meet him.

When the Braahman called on Birbal, Birbal said - " O Braahman, You collect your daily earnings through begging from me every day. In lieu of begging please chant Gayatri Mantra during the three Sandhyaa periods 108 times everyday."

The Braahman agreed and after collecting the money from Birbal, started chanting Gayatri Mantra three times a day as Birbal suggested him. After a few days, he thought why not increase the chanting to 1008 times, since he had a lot of time. Very soon, people started giving him charity in the form of food and cash. In this way the Braahman stopped going to Birbal's house for begging.

His daily meditation earned him the power to acquire knowledge, acquire an attractive personality and soon he got transformed into a good expounder of knowledge. More and more people started coming to him and he became a well known personality. Birbal also heard about him . One day Birbal visited the Braahman and asked him as to why he had stopped coming to his house. The Braahman profusely thanked Birbal for for putting him on the right path by guiding him at the right time.

One day Birbal mentioned to Akbar that a saintly person had come to town and Akbar promptly invited the person and honored him. Birbal then asked Akbar whether he remembered this saintly person, but Akbar could not recollect. Birbal then reminded Akbar about the Braahman beggar episode . Akbar after hearing this exclaimed - "Oh ! what a change."

Mahanirvana Tantra however regards the Matrika –Trinity of Brahmi, Vaishnavi and Maheshwari in an entirely different light. They are worshipped as three aspects of Goddess Gayatri. It asks the Sadhaka : “In the morning meditate upon Her ( Devi Gayatri)  in Her Brahmi form, as a Maiden of ruddy hue, with a pure smile, with two hands, holding a gourd full of holy water, garlanded with crystal beads, clad in the skin of a black antelope, seated on a Swan (56). At midday meditate upon Her in Her Vaishnavi form, of the colour of pure gold, youthful, with full and rising breasts, situated in the Solar disc, with four hands holding the conch-shell, discus, mace, and lotus, seated on Garuda, garlanded with wild-flowers (57-58). In the evening meditate upon Her Maheshwari as of a white colour, clad in white raiment, old and long past her youth, with three eyes, beneficent, propitious, seated on a Bull, holding in Her lotus-like hands a noose, a trident, a lance, and a skull (59-60).  [Mahanirvana Tantra -Translated by Arthur Avalon (Sir John Woodroffe)-1913]

An agnihotra (homa) should be done, and 108 ahutis of ordinary havan samagri should be offered to the fire. After the havan is done, the whitish gray ashes should be collected from the fire place and rubbed on the hands, feet, face, head, stomach and back of the person. The Gayatri mantra should be recited during the rubbing of the ashes. The evil spirit will vanish after one rubbing of the ashes. These ashes should be kept in a bottle and maybe used whenever needed by the attendants of the patient. They can be used on any other patients as well. And one should put ashes in ones hand and recite Gayatri mantra 11 times and keep on reciting while rubbing.
