*Narak Chaturdashi - 7 Powerful Remedies for Today*

7th November 2026 -Kali Chaudas -Choti Diwali

Narak Chaturdashi is not merely about lighting diyas. In our spiritual traditions, this day represents the destruction of darkness, fear, negative karma and the tendencies that keep us trapped in suffering.

Here are seven meaningful remedies, including some lesser-discussed traditional practices.

1. The 14 Deepak Remedy

In some regional traditions, 14 diyas are lit on Narak Chaturdashi.

Light 14 small earthen diyas with sesame or mustard oil in safe places around your home, including the entrance and courtyard.

Sankalp: May ignorance, fear, negativity and obstacles be removed from my home and life.

2. The Apamarga Remedy - A Traditional Purification Ritual

Apamarga (चिरचिटा) is traditionally associated with Narak Chaturdashi purification.

In some traditions, a sprig of Apamarga is gently circled around the head before the ritual bath, symbolically removing impurities and misfortune.

Do not consume the plant or rub it against sensitive skin.

3. The Four-Wick Yam Deepak

In the evening, prepare a four-faced diya with four cotton wicks and sesame oil.

Place it safely outside the entrance, traditionally towards the south, and offer prayers to Yam Dev.

Chant:

ॐ यमाय नमः। -11 times.

This ritual is associated with prayers for longevity and family protection.

4. Maa Kali - For Courage and Victory Over Negativity

On Kali Chaudas, offer a red flower and light a ghee diya before Maa Kali.

Chant 108 times:

ॐ क्रीं कालिकायै नमः।

Pray not only for protection from external negativity but also for victory over anger, jealousy, fear and destructive thoughts.

5. Hanuman Ji -For Strength During Difficult Times

Offer sindoor and jasmine oil to Hanuman Ji according to your family tradition.

Recite Hanuman Chalisa once or seven times.

This is especially meaningful for those facing conflict, anxiety, opposition or repeated difficulties.

6. The Salt-Water Cleansing Remedy

Add a little rock salt to your floor-cleaning water, where suitable for your flooring, and clean the entrance and living area.

This is a popular household cleansing custom rather than a prescribed scriptural ritual.

As you clean, mentally release old arguments, resentment and emotional burdens.

7. The Most Important Remedy - Narak Mukti Through Daan

Offer food, clothing or other necessities to someone genuinely in need.

Narak Chaturdashi reminds us that liberation is not achieved merely through rituals. Compassion, self-discipline and righteous action are equally important.

One deeper spiritual thought I would share with my followers:

On Narak Chaturdashi, do not pray only for the destruction of your enemies. Pray for the destruction of the anger, ego, greed, fear and attachments that have become enemies within you.

The greatest Narakasura is sometimes the darkness we unknowingly carry inside ourselves.

Remember: The traditional pre-sunrise Abhyanga Snan for Narak Chaturdashi falls on 8 November this year in Delhi. The other evening practices can be followed today according to your family tradition.

[Nirmala Sitharaman @nsitharaman]

Rahul ji, you ask the Prime Minister to choose a venue for a debate. There is already one: Parliament, where you happen to be the LoP.

Just yesterday, Home Minister Shri @AmitShah offered a special session to debate SIR and EVMs. Why not show the same enthusiasm for a debate in Parliament that you show while issuing challenges on social media?

Demanding answers also carries an obligation to hear them.

There have been several occasions when you and your party have walked out of Parliament while the government was responding to your allegations. How do you claim to be so eager for a debate when you don’t even stay to hear the other side?

It doesn’t stop at walkouts. You and the INDI Alliance have repeatedly disrupted proceedings, leading to entire sittings being washed out. If you are so keen on debating, why not allow Parliament to function in the first place?

And then there’s the mock Parliament you recently held at the Congress President’s residence. Frankly, that was more a ‘mockery of Parliament’ than a ‘mock Parliament’. You found the time and enthusiasm for that exercise. Surely, the real Parliament deserves at least as much.

You speak endlessly about protecting democracy and the Constitution. But that respect should also reflect in how you treat the institutions they have established.

As for the issues you frivolously raise, bring specific allegations and evidence to back them up. Simply throwing together a long list of accusations doesn’t make your case any stronger. As LoP, you are expected to show some seriousness and responsibility.

You say, “Daro mat.”
Then bring the facts, face the scrutiny and stay to hear the answers. In the House, uphold the standards of debate you demand from others.

[S.Jayashankar @jaypanicker]

There is something called parliament for such debates. However you have been focused on wasting away everyone's time there by creating all sorts of ruckus instead of carrying out meaningful debates.

It is sad to note that despite having served 22 years as parliamentarian, the child in you still seems to be incapable of grasping it's true purpose. Maybe you can ask the seniors of your party like @Shashitharoor or @manishtewari on how to make good use of parliament as a Leader of Opposition instead of making these irrelevant tweets to show your bravado

[PVR Narasimha Rao @homam108]

Friday's Saraswati Puja reminded me of a childhood favorite verse - a magnificent composition by Mahakavi Kalidasa. Each of the 4 lines starts with the same word repeated twice with 2 meanings!

And it's a very noble prayer everyone on social media should ponder!

शारदा शारदाम्भोजवदना वदनाम्बुजे।
सर्वदा सर्वदास्माकं सन्निधिं सन्निधिं क्रियात्॥
śāradā śāradāmbhojavadanā vadanāmbuje |
sarvadā sarvadāsmākaṁ sannidhiṁ sannidhiṁ kriyāt ||

Meaning: May the autumn-lotus-faced Ma Saraswati, who bestows everything, always make her manifestation in the lotus of our speech a great treasure [for others].

In other words, may we speak softly, elegantly and wisely, with Ma Saraswati Herself manifesting in our speech, and may our words be a great treasure for people around us.

Wow, what an amazingly noble thought!

A prayer worth pondering on as we engage with others, especially on social media. 🙏

BTW, in Ma Saraswati's iconography, the lotus she sits on is our speech. The swan in the background is our purity and wisdom. The veena (stringed instrument) she plays is the skill and purpose in our words. She is Vaagdevi (speech personified as a goddess).

Now, word-wise breakup and meanings for those interested:

शारदा = [Ma] Saraswati
शारद = [of] autumn
अम्भोज = lotus
वदना = face[d]
वदन = speech (act of speaking)
अम्बुजे = [in the] lotus
सर्वदा = bestower of everything
सर्वदा = always
अस्माकम् = our
सन्निधिं = company/stay/manifestation
सन्निधिं = great treasure
क्रियात् = may make

[Shah Rukh Khan @iamsrk]

When I first met him, out of awe and awkwardness I fiddled with my hair. He slapped my hand away and said 'hero ki tarah Baal mat bana...tu actor hai'!
He didn't flatter you. He didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. He told you what you needed to hear. That was Nana. Straightforward. Rough, honest and had the most beautiful smile.
He always had a strange way of showing affection. He would shout at you first, and then somewhere between the third or fourth insult, you realised you were being hugged. He loved me and I loved him back.
He was a mentor, a teacher, a critic and a friend who beat me and everyone else around him in carrom game after game and relished his victories.  
Nana your intensity, laughter , madness and love will always stay with us. I just wish we had time to have more conversations, another argument, another cup of tea and a game of carrom.
You have left a void not only in the world of cinema but in the hearts of all Indians and the world. All I can say is, I will miss you dearly and carry your words in my heart till the end of time....'hero banne ke chakar mein actor mat khona'
May your soul rest in peace Nana and Allah bless you. The Heavens will be blessed to have you... a masterful actor and an unbeatable carrom champion. Love you and miss you dearly!! Too soon my Hero Actor! RIP.

There is NO PEACE in the skies for November 2026.

You can say whatever you want about me. Question me, criticise me, even dismiss my warnings. But I will continue to say what I see in the stars.

November needs to be taken seriously.

Mars will cross the degree of the August 12 Solar Eclipse around November 3 that is 25° of Cancer. By then, the protection we were seeing from Jupiter changes as Jupiter moves into Leo and passes through the sensitive Gandanta zone.

Few Days around November 3rd , 11th and 17th when Mars transits into Leo , stays in Magha Nakshatra, conjuncts Ketu and Jupiter and Aspects Sun at 01 degree of Scorpio. Political attacks or assassination attempt is there.

This is a combination I would not ignore.

The first half of November especially demands caution. Astrologically, I see heightened potential for aggression, military confrontation, terror related threats, sudden attacks and escalation between nations. One incident can become a trigger for something much larger if tempers are already running high.

I am not writing this to create fear. I am writing it because when I see a difficult period, I consider it my responsibility to warn.

Be alert. Avoid unnecessary risks. Pray for protection.

May my prediction be wrong and may the world remain safe.

[Priyanka @Astrotherapist1]

Something much bigger is unfolding around us.

The coming months can bring many uncomfortable realities into public view. Matters connected with people in powerful positions, institutions and systems may come under greater scrutiny. What was easy to hide earlier may not remain hidden for long.

As we move towards March and April, some of these matters can return with greater intensity. Mars moving through Cancer again, this time with Ketu, can make this period particularly significant.

I have been saying for a long time that the world we enter at the end of 2026 will not feel like the world we knew before.

Do not become hopeless watching the disturbance around you. Change rarely arrives peacefully when old structures are being shaken.

There is a Divine order even within chaos.

Truth has its own timing. When that time comes, no amount of noise can keep it buried.

Remain centred. Remain conscious. We are all part of this change.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

An unforgettable conversation with Captain Smit, filled with pride and emotions.

[Astro Sharmistha @AstroSharmistha]

Capt. Smit has shown the world that Indian spirit is deeply rooted in saving lives; genetically, traditionally, and culturally. For us, reciting the name of God is a continuous process of life, our way of seeking strength, and the courage to protect life. Not for taking Jihad. Captain Smit, you made India Proud.

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.

He is a true hero.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇮🇳🇴🇲🇮🇱An AMAZING detail has come out about the Indian pilot who was stabbed on today’s FlyDubai flight by his co-pilot.

HE UNLOCKED THE COCKPIT DOOR.

Badly wounded, he still managed to release the cockpit entrance.

The heroic act allowed passengers and crew to rush in and subdue the alleged attacker.

The passengers later continued to Israel on a replacement flight after landing safely in Saudi Arabia.

And it all happened thanks to a split-second decision when the plane became a ticking time bomb.

🚨 Smith Machhahar is a FlyDubai pilot of Indian origin with more than 13 years of experience in civil aviation. He has logged over 9,750 flight hours on Boeing 737 aircraft. Smith was seriously injured during a sudden attack by his colleague, but despite his injuries, he managed to stop him from crashing the plane and helped prevent a possible disaster.

He is a true hero. Despite being seriously injured, he showed incredible courage and did everything he could to prevent a tragedy. May God protect him, give him strength, and grant him a full recovery.

[Astro Sharmistha @AstroSharmistha]

Vighnaharta 👉One who removes obstacles
Gaṇādhipa 👉One who leads masses,
Ekadanta 👉One who has one tusk, He used one as a pen.
Lambodara 👉one who has a pot belly, the symbol of prosperity.
Gajanana 👉one who has the face of an elephant, talks about his lack of ego.
Lord Ganesha is the god of letters, learning ✍️ and wisdom. He is the husband of Riddhi & Siddhi. In the Kundalini Yoga sutras, Lord Ganesha continually dwells in the sacral plexus at the base of the spine, Muladhara Chakra, connecing with the foundation or stability in our life.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. Mula means ‘main, root or original’ and adhara means ‘base’, meaning the Lord Ganesha is the root cause of our domestic happiness and peace that are absent without his blessings.
गणेश चतुर्थी की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं!

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

The name “Krishna” signifies absolute attraction. To overcome the illusions of the material world, one must find something far more captivating to focus on. Krishna is that ultimate attraction at every stage of life: a mischievous companion for children, a talented friend for the youth, a valiant hero for the courageous, “Yogeshwar” for seekers, a master strategist for leaders, and the source of ultimate wisdom for elders.

Watch movie HANUMAN ANSH which is based on real life story of great sage Sri Neem Karoli Baba....
Hanuman Ansh film reminds many of us the 1975 film JAI SANTOSHI MAA...!!

[Priyanka @Astrotherapist1]

Sometimes I wonder whether people truly understand why I keep doing what I do.

It is not only about predictions coming true.
It is not only about remedies, mantras or Anushthans.

Behind everything I share is one simple prayer - may someone suffer a little less because they were warned in time, may someone find hope when they were losing it, and may someone find a path when life seemed completely dark.

I cannot change everyone's destiny. No astrologer can.

But if my knowledge can help even one person make a wiser decision, avoid a mistake, regain faith, or stand up again after falling, then all these years of learning and sadhana have meaning.

Your blessings, trust and genuine prayers matter to me far more than you may realise.

And as long as Ishwar allows me, I will continue to share what I know - with responsibility, faith and a sincere heart.
