'Mysterious' Oshno and Siddh Prayers4Ashok Karat has won over his devotees as he used to conduct two mysterioys types of spiritual sadhana (practices). The first of these was ‘Oshno Pray,’ during which he would instruct devotees to chant the mantra “Om Ishanyeshwaraya Namah” eleven times. He specifically instructed people to perform this ritual on the days of Mahashivratri and Shravani Somvar (Mondays during the month of Shravan). The second type of ritual involved in this practice was known as ‘Siddh Prayer.’ During ‘Siddh Prayer,’ Homa and Havan (sacrificial fire rituals) were performed. Some would claim to hear the sound of a snake, and other distinct sounds.
