upcoming Gupta Varahi Navratri is starting on July 15, 2026. This is a powerful time for those who have been suffering for a long time from hidden enemies, obstacles in work, and various other problems to perform a special ritual (totka).

On the first day of Navratri, take some black peppercorns, dry red chilies, white mustard seeds, mustard oil, and cloves together. Place them on a banana leaf and offer them to the Goddess who destroys all enemies (Sarvashatrunashini Devi). For all nine days, chant this mantra 1,008 times daily:

"Om Sarvashatrunashini Sarvaripuharini Sarva Papagrasini Swaha"

On the Navami tithi (the ninth day), light a fire in a ritual bowl using camphor and jute sticks. Make sure the fire burns brightly. Take the dry red chilies, black peppercorns, white mustard seeds, and cloves that you kept aside on the first day, and mix them thoroughly with mustard oil. After that, take the name of your enemy and offer this mixture into the fire 28 times as an oblation (ahuti) while chanting the exact same mantra.

You will see that your enemies will bow down before you and will never trouble you again. During these nine days, strictly avoid eating chicken and eggs. Everyone should try this ritual and must share their results. Those who want to know more details or wish to perform a deeper, more advanced ritual can contact me.
