He then used these supposed-to-be-benevolent spirits to exorcise humans possessed by bad spirits. Apparently the benevolent spirits remain inside the body and sometimes disturb the host. There was a case of an ex-Sai Baba disciple who sought help in Sahaja Yoga. i met this quite frightened woman who, after being assured i would not shun/ridicule her, confided that she was disturbed by some entities. She then told me that some of Sai Baba's close disciples had learnt how to enter into her body and rape her in spirit. i believed her as the experiences were explained in detail. There were times she cried and the shame she was going through was apparently too much to bear. She just wanted to rid herself of these entities but progress was slow. i met her after about a year and she looked better as she was making progress in Sahaja Yoga. The frightened look was gone and so were the dark, deep-set eyes. Thus your friend just has to continue meditating till he heals. A few collective clearings with experienced SYs as brother Ishmael pointed out will be beneficial and effective. On October 6, 1995 i witnessed Shri Mataji working on a possessed Chinese girl during a public program in New York. This poor soul came in very agitated and disturbed. Shri Mataji worked on her for some time. In the end she left in a quite, subdued mood. i have had no further information on what was the final outcome. Shri Mataji did talk about certain spirits used to cure/control others way back in 1981 in London, U.K. The talk was " Subconscious, Supraconscious And Our Correct Foundations And Ideals " : " We have two types of people in India known as mantrikas and tantrikas. The mantrikas are those people who go to the funerals and cemeteries and they try to capture the dead spirits. These dead spirits are of the sly type. These sly spirits are the so-called social workers or busy-bodies trying to help others. They are in the category of Chaturvarnas or Vishudras, the people who believe in serving others. They appear to be good people because they want to serve other people and help others. And that is why they do not want to die and want to stay around the Earth plane. One could call this a servant class. They are absolutely servile. They like to be whipped, beaten and be ill-treated. They are another extreme. They enjoy a horrid type of existence — they are masochists. All such dead people are around us and they are left-sided bhoots , that is, very timid and clinging. These mantrikas get hold of such dead people and tell them to do this work or that work, control this or go there. And these bhoots feel very happy about it, as they are servile. So, if someone is suffering from a mental problem, for example, if someone of his has died then he gets a mental push-back into the collective subconscious and gets possessed. Such people go to the mantrikas and these mantrikas tell the dead spirits that they have been troubling this man for a long time and you should leave this man. So they remove this dead spirit and put another dead spirit in its place and tell the first spirit that he can get another body to go to. These mantrikas are the mediators or liaison-officers. They catch hold of these spirits and remove them from one person and put them into some other person. So the first person is 'cured.' For example, there was a lady whose husband used to drink quite a lot. She went to one of the lady Mantrikas who said she will cure her husband but the lady must pay Rs 100 for that. So she put a dead spirit on this man by which the bhoot of the drunkard on him was removed. So this man gave up drinking but he started going to races. Then she solved that problem by removing the 'races bhoot' and put another one by which he started going to dirty women. . . . This weakness is there within such people, that is why they are easily possessed. Otherwise it does not happen. Only if you are weak in mind and have weaknesses for such things, then these dead spirits can catch hold of you. " (May 24, 1981) i do not think Shri Mataji talked more of this topic in later years. On the contrary, She even regretted revealing this dark side. Till today this unnecessary fear of bhoots, badhas, spiders, cats, bats, wasps and what not continue to capture the imagination of young SYs, and cause irrational apprehension. Question: Which sane and balanced seeker wants to know about enlightenment from those who are experts in phobias, whether it is about bhoots, badhas, spiders, cats, bats, or wasps? Which sensible parent will allow their children to mix and be influenced by authorities on such subjects? Maybe a YuvaShakti spokesperson can clear this clueless catch of mine. So Adam, i hope this post will help your friend. These are rare cases of possession prior to seeking help in Sahaja Yoga. It is a tragedy that the YuvaShakti treats it as a contagious disease that can easily infect the Shakti's devotees. The disaster is that so- called established SYs remain silent and indifferent. and they say Sahaja Yoga is difficult to spread, jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hi This is very interesting and fits in with something I have been reading and thinking about, the idea of " pretas " and " hungry ghosts " which I related to the idea of " boots " and/or " baddas " which I heard about in SY. Don't know if these are seen as the cause of " negativity " as well? I know some people in SY do definately avoid anyone who is ill as they fear they may " catch " some negativity from them, which I find very comical! I suppose you might catch a virus or a cold or something so maybe stay away for a short while until they stop being infectious - unless you are very strong. Before I joined SY I used to get colds and chest infections all the time - after being in it for a while I hardly seemed to catch a cold at all, let alone get a chest infection. I started telling people I " couldn't " catch cold any more - then I got one, so there must be a moral somewhere! I think that these " negative spirits " that can be " caught " and " made " to do all kinds of bad things are like us when we are lazy and not fully conscious of what we are doing. This is why terrible suffering is " not noticed " by so many people(let's hope they may start to wake up and be well again soon!) because people who sell things " make " them want to buy them - like nice things for their houses, games to play on their computers, etc. Also some can be caught and " made " to work on inventing and making nuclear bombs etc. Also some can of them can be " made " to sit about and drink larger like me without " noticing " all the work I should be doing! My message is clear " Pretas/baddas/etc " IS US unless we work very hard at remaining fully conscious and awake and see what is going on around us and what we have allowed ourselves to become a part of. The human race may look to most people as if it is " evolving " - from a distance and to beings of greater consciousness (They are US as well) we may look like a virus - busily going about destroying this planet whilst working on " rocket science " in order to move off to another one to infect when we've destroyed this one!

So this reply is particularly for them in mind. Inside your body there is an amazing protection mechanism called the immune system. It is designed to defend you against millions of bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins and parasites that would love to invade your body. To understand the power of the immune system, all that you have to do is look at what happens to anything once it dies. That sounds gross, but it does show you something very important about your immune system. When something dies, its immune system (along with everything else) shuts down. In a matter of hours, the body is invaded by all sorts of bacteria, microbes, parasites... None of these things are able to get in when your immune system is working, but the moment your immune system stops the door is wide open. Once you die it only takes a few weeks for these organisms to completely dismantle your body and carry it away, until all that's left is a skeleton. Obviously your immune system is doing something amazing to keep all of that dismantling from happening when you are alive. The immune system is complex, intricate and interesting. And there are at least two good reasons for you to know more about it. First, it is just plain fascinating to understand where things like fevers, hives, inflammation, etc., come from when they happen inside your own body. You also hear a lot about the immune system in the news as new parts of it are understood and new drugs come on the market -- knowing about the immune system makes these news stories understandable. In this article, we will take a look at how your immune system works so that you can understand what it is doing for you each day, as well as what it is not. Your immune system works around the clock in thousands of different ways, but it does its work largely unnoticed. One thing that causes us to really notice our immune system is when it fails for some reason. We also notice it when it does something that has a side effect we can see or feel. Here are several examples: When you get a cut, all sorts of bacteria and viruses enter your body through the break in the skin. When you get a splinter you also have the sliver of wood as a foreign object inside your body. Your immune system responds and eliminates the invaders while the skin heals itself and seals the puncture. In rare cases the immune system misses something and the cut gets infected. It gets inflamed and will often fill with pus. Inflammation and pus are both side-effects of the immune system doing its job. When a mosquito bites you, you get a red, itchy bump. That too is a visible sign of your immune system at work. Each day you inhale thousands of germs (bacteria and viruses) that are floating in the air. Your immune system deals with all of them without a problem. Occasionally a germ gets past the immune system and you catch a cold, get the flu or worse. A cold or flu is a visible sign that your immune system failed to stop the germ. The fact that you get over the cold or flu is a visible sign that your immune system was able to eliminate the invader after learning about it. If your immune system did nothing, you would never get over a cold or anything else. Each day you also eat hundreds of germs, and again most of these die in the saliva or the acid of the stomach. Occasionally, however, one gets through and causes food poisoning. There is normally a very visible effect of this breach of the immune system: vomiting and diarrhea are two of the most common symptoms. There are also all kinds of human ailments that are caused by the immune system working in unexpected or incorrect ways that cause problems. For example, some people have allergies. Allergies are really just the immune system overreacting to certain stimuli that other people don't react to at all. Some people have diabetes, which is caused by the immune system inappropriately attacking cells in the pancreas and destroying them. Some people have rheumatoid arthritis, which is caused by the immune system acting inappropriately in the joints. In many different diseases, the cause is actually an immune system error. Finally, we sometimes see the immune system because it prevents us from doing things that would be otherwise beneficial. For example, organ transplants are much harder than they should be because the immune system often rejects the transplanted organ. How Your Immune System Works http://health.howstuffworks.com/immune-system.htm So, Jane, just substitute " immune system " with " Mother Kundalini " and replace " bacteria " , germs " , " viruses " , " allergies " , " abnormal cells " , " toxins " with " pretas " , " hungry hosts " , " bhoots " , " baddas " , " catches " , " negativity " and you will get the answers. If daily you use medicines and drugs to combat these " bacteria " , germs " , " viruses " , " allergies " instead of letting the subtle system take care of them then you will use lemons, chillies, coconuts, footsoaks and candling daily instead of allowing the Mother Kundalini destroy all " pretas " , " hungry ghosts " , " bhoots " , " baddas " , " catches " and " negativity " . After some time of over-medication you will mess things up and your body's immunological defense system goes haywire. You will instead become sick often and will be worse off. So just let your immune system do its job. The same goes for the Mother Kundalini. Try to understand that both work along similar lines as their primary function is to protect humans on a 24/7 basis. Just have the conviction and confidence you are protected by a miraculous system that is part and parcel of evolution. Why insult Her with our lack of faith? jagbir For further reading please check Archives on following: 1) At last SY voices of reason and confession that may bring sense 2) Can the Power of His Love cause mass hysteria? 3) How can we SYs be thoughtless when catches keep disturbing us? 4) i am only asking for an answer to what many SYs believe 5) Treatments are part of Sahaj but why do SYs remain sick?
