Sins whether small or big are sins and we have to suffer the malefic effects for our bad deeds. All of us fear going to Narak and suffering from Yam yatnas. The fear of yama is only because he punishes just the we we punished some person or animal by our bad intentions.
Today, I will throw a light on the greatest sins in Sanatana Dharma and what kind of punishment one gets for such sins.
Normally people think that the 5 great sins Brahma Hatya, Par Stri gaman, madira paan(drinking alcohol), stealing gold and the 5th sin is keeping company of such people.
Though it is true that these are the 5 great sins. But there are a few sins even greater than this.
Hopefully, after reading this post, all those who are doing such kind of great sins stop it and start looking for sadgati.
It is a general mindset among that a person gets the rewards/problems according to his karmas only. However, this is not the complete truth. Even if you spend 100 billion kalpa in human yoni, your good/bad deeds wont come to end.
Normally, with the grace of gods, tirths and rivers, a person may get rid of many sins.
But the person who is away from Shri Rama/Narayan/Krishna or if he is away from Lord Shiva, such a person's prayashchitta cannot make him pure the way the water of Ganga cannot purify alcohol.
A good karma never nullifies a bad karma and a bad karma never nullifies a good karma.
Tirth snaan, japa, tapa yagya, gau daan, brahman bhojan, atithi seva, vrat, upavaas, daan, prithvi parikrama, reading puranas,spreading good knowledge, guru seva, guru bhakti don't make us karma free. They increase our punya.
If you want to get freedom from sins, then you must keep that appropriate sankalp before performing these remedies.
By these karmas, one may get swarga, but one doesn't get moksha.
By doing good karmas, one gets Swarga, by doing bad karmas one gets narak and by doing neech karmas, one gets diseases.
It only by worshipping Shri Rama or Lord Shiva or your isht devta or Mother goddesses or your kul devi/devta that one can get moksha.
In hinduism/Sanatana Dharma, the sin of killing a cow is considered to be the first great sin.
1. Gau Hatya - The person who kills a cow or kicks a cow goes to Raurav narak after death and suffers there without even a single drop of water or a single morsel of food to eat. Neither he gets a place to rest. Such a person keeps on suffering from yama-yatna this way for 160 crore years.
After 160 crore years in raurav narak, he goes to dandshuka narak where he suffers for as much years as there were hairs on the body of the cow. There, he continuously bitten by 100s of snakes and due to the poisonous and painful effects of the snakes's poison and due to lack of food, his/her stomach starts drying up and extremely small.
After that, he gets birth as a cow for as many years as there were hairs on the body of the cow.
If one cow has 10,000 hairs and you have killed 100 cows, you will live in dandashuk narak for 10,00,000 years and then you will be born as a cow for another 10 lac years.
After that, he gets 1 lac human births where he suffers from leprosy in each birth.
After that, he gets 1 lac more human births where he lives as a chandaal.
After that, does he get a hindu birth. In this human birth, he becomes a leprosy stricken brahmin.
And by feeding 1 lac brahmins, he gets freedom from the disease.
2. Stri Hatya - The sin of Stri Hatya is 2 times greater than Gau Hatya. The person who kills a woman and especially his wife or mother gets the sin of stri hatya. Such a person lives in narak for as many years as there were hairs on the body of the woman.
After that, for the same number for years, he gets human birth and each birth he suffers from extremely painful tuberculosis in every birth. Such a person, if feeds 1 lac brahmins daily for 100 years and donates gold, gets freedom from this sin.
3. Brahma Hatya - The sin of Brahma Hatya is 4 times greater than gau hatya. Whatever is suffered by a gau hatyari, 4 times that is suffered by a brahma hatyari. Then, the brahma hatyari gets the yoni(body) of the insect or worm that live in human excreta for 4 times that number of years.
After that, 4 times the number of years, he gets the yoni of a mleccha.
Then, for another 4 times the above mentioned number of years, he is born as a blind person.
Such a person by feeding 4 lac brahmins, gets freedom from this sin, gets beautiful eyes and earns great name and fame in the world.
Stealing Lord Shiva's articles like silver, pearl, rudraksh, religious books,etc. get the sin of Brahma Hatya.
4. Bhrun Hatya- The sin of Bhrun Hatya i.e. aborting or killing a foetus is 4 times greater than Braham Hatya. Such a person lives for 100 years in narak and is eaten by thousands of carnivorous worms day in and day out. Suh a person is continuously afflicted by needles and similar small weapons for 100 years. After that, he gets birth as a horse for another 100 years. After that, such a person gets a human birth in Vaishya varna and suffers from ringworm for 50 years. After 50 years, he gets freedom from this sin by donating gold.
5. Peepal Hatya - The person who kills a peepal tree i.e. one who cuts it gets 4 times the sin of Brahma Hatya. The person who cuts a peepal tree brings and end of his entire family clan within just 6 months-2 years.
Readers, It is my real life observation that the person who cuts a peepal tree and the one who facilitates or supports cutting of peepal brings and end of his kul and his pitrus and becomes a beggar very very soon. Hence, don't consider it lightly.
6. Swarna chori - The man who steals gold gets leprosy. and the person who eats gold enters the yoni of the worms found in human excreta. After this, he goes to narak where he is made to eat human excreta for a 100 years. after this, he gets a shudra yoni where he suffers from Blood related diseases. The, he get the brahmin yoni where he suffers fro uncontrollable diseases.
In this brahmin yoni, by donating 4 grams gold, the person gets freedom from this sin.
7.
Par stri gaman - Our mother, mother in law, sister, sister in law, daughter, daughter in law, grandmother, friend's wife, menstruating girl - all these are considered as par stri and equal to mothers. The person who looks at them with lustful eyes or touches them with lustful intentions gets the sin of Brahma Hatya. Those who have sex with such a woman gets the sin of par stri gaman. Such a person suffers from yama yatna for 160 crore years in raurav narak and then another 160 crore years in kumbhpaak narak. Then, he becomes the bacterias/insects present in vaginas of prostitutes and then another 1 lac years as the worms of human excreta.
Then, he gets births in the yoni of different animals. Then, he gets multiple births as a shudra(dirty) insect. Then, he gets mutiple yonis of mlecchas followed by multiple yonis of extremely lowly class shudras. After this, he gets birth as a diseased brahmin. However, even in this birth, such a person becomes kul ghatak and his kul i.e. family starts decreasing in numbers.
Such a brahmin, by going to various tirths, gets freedom from the sin. But he still remains a kul ghaatak. By feeding 1 lac brahmins, such a person gets completely dirt free and is blessed with a boy.
The man who has sex with a prostitute goes to raurav narak for a 100 years.
The man who has sex with the wife of a brahmin gets the sin of Brahma Hatya every day till he doesnt die.
The woman who takes the path of prostitution for any reason whatsoever becomes a widow, a barren woman, an untouchable, jaatiheen(being in a different religion), and a nose bleeding woman in her next 7 births, respectively.
8. Sharangat ghaati/Vishwaas ghaati - This is the 2nd worst sin in Sanatana Dharma. Sharanagat ghaati or vishwaas ghaati refers to the person who abandons or fools or breaks the trust the person who may have taken his refuge. Such kind of sins are seen a lot today. If someone takes my refuge and if I fool him while making claims that I am helping him and in the end leave him in suffering even though the amuk person expected honesty from me, it means I am a sharanagat ghaati.
Lord Shiva himself has said, that the person who abandons his refugee even when he is capable of providing help to the refugee, such a person is abandoned by Santana Dharma itself. Such a person remains a Hindu just for the name.
No prayashcitt is there in any of the 4 vedas for such a person. The person who breaks the trust of his refugee cannot get freedom from this sin even by feeding crore brahmins for a crore days.
The only refuge for such a person is chanting the name of Shri Rama or Shri Krishna. No other remedy can remove this sin. It is waste of time to search for some other solution.
Sharanagat ghaati is boiled for 1000s of years in oil and continuously bitten by snakes and similar poisonous animals. After that, he is born for 1000 crore times as a vulture, 100 times as a pig, 100 times as ferocious animals and then he is born as a vyaadhi grasta shudra.
Such a person thus becomes free from the rest of the sin that is left out by donating 100 grams of gold.
9.
Guru Patni Gaman - This is the worst sin out of all sins. The person who has sex with his guru's wife or looks at her with lustful intentions or touches her with intentions is sarvada sarvatra chandaal. Such a person must be abandoned forever and from everywhere. Such a person is not allowed to worship any devta. If the family members keep a such a person with them instead of abandoning him, the whole family is abandoned by gods and the society. Such a person is not allowed to eat food cooked by others. He not allowed to bath in tirths or touch tulsi or worship tulsi. Such a person cannot do puja of any god. The puja articles touched by such a person are considered to be impure and meaningless. Such a person is not allowed to have the darshan of Surya. He is not even allowed to salute his own guru or isht devta. Neither is he allowed to chant his guru mantra. Brahman bhojan, japa, tapa , yagya, etc. all is forbidden for him.
Such a man is Sarvada Sarvatra(always and completely) chandaal and untouchable. Even looking at such a person while performing a sadhana makes the sadhana impure.
Such a person stays in Raurav narak for 1000 crore years and gets birth in various yonis. But never a human yoni.
Other than this, those who don't fast on Krishna Ashtami, Ram Navami and Shiv Ratri get all the sins that exist in all the 3 worlds. Those who don't have the power must fast by eating one time.
I am now mentioning a few remedies to get freedom from all these sins:
1. Chant 1000 malas of Shri Ram Jay Jay Rama to get freedom from all kinds of great sins.
If you have done guru patni gaman, Chant 10,000 malas.
Those who haven't done guru patni gaman must chant 10,000 malas to get moksha.
At the end of the japa, feed 100 or 1000 brahmins and donate a cow.
2. Make 1 shivling using soil, bhasma or cow dung. By doing so, one will get rid of crores of sins in an instant and live for 1 kalpa in Swarga. After that, he is born in Brahmin varna and he becomes extremely knowledgeable brahmin and owns lots of lands.
By making 100 lingas and worshipping them, one will get rid of all sins including guru patni gaman and becomes a king of Bharat i.e. India.
3. By making a 1000 shivlingas and worshipping them,the sadhak lives in swarga for billions of Kalpas and then born as a king of India.
4. By making and worshipping 10,000 lingas, one becomes an Emporer and by worshipping 1 lac lingas, a person becomes chakravarti samraat. By worshipping with devotion, a sadhak can get even more than that.
5. By tirth snaan, brahman bhojan, narayan upasana, a person gets born as a brahmin. Such a brahmin, by doing tapasya becomes a vaishnav. The land touched by feet of such a person becomes pure and sacred. By touch of such a person, even the chandaal's house becomes a tirth and all the tirths become dirt free by such a person's touch. This stage is called as being Brahma-Bhoot in Sanatana Dharma.
Such a person instantly gives moksha to the 1000 ancestors and the 1000 descendants.
6. By offering 1 lac bilva leaves while chanting bilva stotra, one gets moksha and enters Shiv loka.
7. By wearing 1,000 11 mukhi rudraksh, the man becomes equal to Rudra.
8. By reciting Shri Rama Stava raja 1 lac times, by reciting Shri Ram Jay Ram mantra or the 6 lettered Rama mantra 1 million times(10 lac) , one goes to vaikuntha.
Shudras are not allowed to chant 6 lettered Rama Mantra hence they must chant Shri Ram Jay Rama mantra only
9. The man who takes a diksha and chants the 17 lettered Krishna mantra 5 lac times and the Krishna Kavacha that needs to be chanted with it and does dashansh havan, dashansh, abhishek, dashansh tarpan, dashansh marjan, dashansh brahman bhojan and donates 100 gold coins to a brahman dev goes to Vaikuntha with his 5 koshas/bodies viz. anna-maya kosha, praanmaya kosha,etc.
10. By reciting Sita Ashtottara shatnaam stotra 1 lac times, one goes to vaikuntha.
11. By chanting Om Namo Narayanaay or Shri Rama Jay Rama Mantra 11 mala daily, one gets a long life and goes to vaikunth after death.

13. By chanting Gayatri Mantra 1 crore times, one lives for thousands of years and goes to Brahmaloka or Vaikunth after death.
14. By writing Adhyatma Ramayana in a book and donating it to a brahmin, one gets rid of all the sins not matter how great they may be.
15. By donating 8 handwritten Adhyatma Ramayana, a person gets moksha.
15. By reciting Shiv panchakshar mantra daily, one gets moksha. Even if you haven't got complete freedom from your sins, even then, you will go to shivaloka because you have worshipped him all your life. It is impossible for a true shiv bhakt to go to narak.
16. The person who chants Hare Rama Hare Krishna Mantra 35 million times(3.5 crore) gets freedom from all the sins forever. This mantra can be chanted any time anywhere and even if you are impure.
17. By reciting Hanuman chalisa 11 times daily for 10-15 years, a sadhak goes to Satyaloka or Vaikuntha after death.
18. By taking diksha and chanting 8 lettered Durga mantra Om hreem Durgaayei Namah 8 lac times, a person goes to Shivloka after death.
19. By chanting 8 lettered surya maha mantra Om Hreem Ghrunihi Surya Adityaha 8 lac times, a sadhak can get rid of the most powerful death and also attain moksha and go to vaikunth.

21. The man who does chandrayan for 1 year goes to chandra loka. The man who does chandrayan for 5 years and feeds 101 brahmins and donates a cow goes to shivloka.
The chandrayan vrat is same as the vrats Jains do during Paryushan.
22. The man who fasts for 7 nights and donates a large pot full of cow ghee goes to Brahma Loka.
23. The sadhak who does nir-anna upavas on saptami tithi for 1 year and donates a gold lotus, gold, pot full of ghee and cows goes to Surya loka.
24. Similarly, the man who fasts on chaturdashi for 1 year and does everything as mentioned above, goes to Rudra Loka after death. Otherwise, the person who donates gold made elephant goes to Shivloka with the grace of Ganesha.
25. The man who fasts for 4 seasons starting from rainy season and donates cow ghee to brahmins for yagya or homa purposes and at the end of the 4 seasons, donates pot full of ghee and a kamadhenu goes becomes one with parabrahma i.e. gets moksha and his soul merges with soul of Lord Sadashiv.
26. The man who fasts on ekadashi for 1 year and donatesa sudarshan chakra at the end of the year goes to vaikuntha and lives there for 1 kalpa after which he is born as a king on earth.
27. One of my favourites vrats is Lakshmi Vrat. In this vrat, the sadhak has to eat only kheer[rice porridge] for the whole year and the end of the year , he must do kumari pujan, brahman bhojan and donate 2 cows to him goes to vaikunth.
28. The sadhak who does nirahar vrat for 1 paksha and donates 2 kapila cows goes to Brahmaloka and goes to Brahma loka and lives there for 1 kalpa and is worshipped by god and asuras.

On a festive day, the couple who make a globe made of atleast 3 carats but not less than that and establishes it on a mount of black sesame, and feeds brahmin family for 3 days and offers 10,000 ahutis using panchakshar shiv mantra or ashtakshar narayan mantra. On the 4th day, offer the gold made globe along with the til, garland of flowers, clothes, ornaments and do puja of the Brahmin dev and wife. By doing so, one becomes one with Para Brahma in very few days.
30. The man who remains on just raw milk for 1 year and donates a 2 faced gold cow to a brahmin meets para Brahma.
31. The man who makes a gold kalpa vriksha of atleast 1 carats, keeps it on a mount of rice, fasts for 3 days and drinks just raw milk; and , at the end of the fast donates it to a brahmin couple becomes on with para brahma.

35. The man who gives up on flowers and salt and eats havishya anna for 1 month and donates a cow goes to vaikuntha. He lives in Vaikuntha for 1 kalpa and is born as a king on earth afterwards.

Jay Shri Rama
