JBP 01 - Navkarsi Pachkhan
Navkarsi Pachkhan
Instructions for Taking Pachkhan:
-
Fold your hands, preferably in front of a photo of Bhagwan.
-
Make sure your mouth is clean.
-
Select the Pachkhan you want to take.
-
Play and listen to the recording.
-
When the recording says “Pachkhai,” silently say “Pachkhami” in your mind.
Do not eat or drink anything until 48 minutes after sunrise. Then, sit in one place, fold your hands (Muththi Vaalavi or with a handful), recite the Navkar Mantra three times, and only then take food or water. By observing Navkarsi for just one day, a person can shed karmas equivalent to 100 years of torture in hell – this is the power of karma nirjara.
