Black Magic

[Guest guest]

Dear All, The following write-up is from: http://jyotish-blog.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.htmlLove and regards,Sreenadh=========================Tuesday, June 20, 2006 Black Magic dakshinastrologer vedic astrology Dear Shri. Haresh Nathani:Performance of Black Magic Rites is a powerful "Kriyaamaan karma". These people willfully destroy the good in the lives of people due to their jealousy or hatred. In this process, they are shortwiring the powerful forces of Karma which will definitely unleash their fury sooner or later.Black Magicians "seem" to flourish....But, the actual truth is any black magician or for that matter, any person who gets the help of black magic to advance oneself in material life does so at the cost of their soul which is doomed to endless vicious cycles of future births making it very difficult to attain liberation.Even in this current life, I have personal experience of relatives ofblack magicians approaching me for help when the magician is on hisdeath-bed.....Death does not come to them easily, giving them manyharrowing experiences and nightmares......They experience such tortureof mind and soul in their death-bed that no one who knows about thesewill ever try black-magic at all! Unfortunately, the apparent "power","confidence", and "seeming string of material success" are the thingsthat are obvious to the common people. Of course, there are rareoccasions when genuinely harassed persons might resort to black-magicto take revenge on powerful persons who cannot be touched by ordinarymeans due to their power and status in life. But, even this, thoughjustifiable to some extent, is ultimately not good for the person. Itis better to let the wheels of karma grind themselves. WE shouldrestrict ourselves to prayers invoking Divine protection and also takepractical steps to save ourselves instead of resorting to Black magicpractices on any pretext.A highly evolved spiritual person - may- at times indulge in certainoccult practices to eliminate certain person for the good of theworld. Many siddhaas display such tendencies....But, this is entirelydifferent from the usual black-magic practices in that thepractitioner does not enjoy any benefit for his self in this....Theact is done out of necessity to ensure the common good. Such maturityis never found in a black-magician who will happily destroy others'lives for a pittance! If these black-magicians can use their abundantmental prowess (practising black-magic also requires great mentalconcentration and courage!) for Divine Contemplation and practices,they might have risen high above the mundane crowd and might bevenerated even as Saints. Unfortunately, these people invoke badkarmaas while in reality they could have risen above their karmas bydoing something good. These karmas drag a person deeper and deeperinto the pit of sin which will ultimately overwhelm their souls....itis not uncommon for black-magic practitioners to be harassed by thevery Devils which they command once their power is gone due to anyreason whatsoever.Sincere prayers have effected more miracles in the lives of many thanmagical practices. Let us conclude saying that those who practiceblack-magic do so out of ignorance. Neither this world nor the Higherstates of existence are for them. That is why, I feel, they areappropriately classified as "Dark Arts" - "the arts of persons who aresteeped ignorant about the ways of the Eternal Soul and DivineLiving".Another truth about black magic is that the effects of black magic andhexes can be more easily removed than is commonly believed. Invokingthem is more difficult than exorcising them. The mere sight orpresence of a Saintly Soul can nullify those effects. An yearly visitto powerful kshetraas or bathing in Holy Rivers, etc. can easily wipeoff negavities arising from black-magic easily. So, black-magic isone thing we need not care about at all if we lead highly ethical andsystematic lives in which the material plane is balanced appropriatelywith spiritual practices. Members will remember that I have writtenabout Devi Pratiyangiraa Devi in an earlier post whose worship ensuresthat these black-magic effects are returned to the doer himself! WE should all aspire to become Living Embodiments of Divine. LetDivine Grace steep us in its Mercy and eradicate the darkness ofignorance which leads people into misuse of their mental powerscreating misery for their fellow beings and in the process alsoacquiring hard-to-nullify sanchita karmaas.Blessed be.Pandit.

This may happen even in other cases due to temporarymalefic influence of planets and some innocent persons get tensed dueto this.....Actually, the effects due to Black-magic will be of amarked intensity and any intuitive person will be able to identifywhether this is a normal life course event, or a circumstance broughtabout by black-magic.There are also some dramatic events at times which are not alwaysmanifest unless the "krityaa" (black-magic effect) is very strong.These include spontaneous fires in the presence of the afflictedperson, extinguishing of pooja lamp when the person looks at the lamp(this will be marked and you can clearly distinguish it from thenatural phenomena when lamps get extinguished by a strong gush ofwind; in black-magic cases, the extinguishing will be consistent),feats of superhuman strength like lifting away of heavy stones orobjects and throwing them, smashing rocks with bare breast, etc.Generally elephants are very powerful in removing the effects ofblack-magic. That is why kings of ancient days used elephants fortheir daily rounds around the important places in their capital whilegiving darshan to their subjects.Black-magic does not severely affect a person unless there are strongastrological indicators in the horoscope itself that the person canbecome a victim of black-magic. If such a condition is not there,then black-magic effects will at worst be very marginal and will losetheir potency within weeks even without any mantrik intervention!Again, those persons who do their sandhya worship (as their traditionordains them to do!) regularly, those who regularly offer oblations totheir Pitrus (deceased ancestors) during amaavasya days (new Moondays), those who regularly keep Ekaadasi fasts, and those who offerspecial pooja or pay a visit to Shiva temple/ Narasimha temple duringPradosham will not be affected at all by black magic effects.Devotees of Goddess Pratiyangiraa are never afflicted by black magic;what is more, the person who does black magic to them will get a tasteof his own medicine administered PERSONALLY by the Goddess! There isactually nothing as such to fear about black magic unless the personwho had done it is really powerful and has real command over the demi-gods and semi-Divine elementals. The Grace of God and the Glance ofHoly Souls are enough to overcome all these negativities in life. Aperson who leads a Dharmic life is generally not troubled by thesethings at all. Dharma is the best armour!In many cases, people mistake normal psycopathy for black-magiceffects and become gullible victims of unscrupulous persons who fleecethem monetarily and otherwise using their innocence and naivete.EVeryone should remember that prayer is the best remedy for all suchoccult disturbance. If the other family members are patient andcourageous, and pray sincerely without reacting to the abnormality ofthe afflicted person, the malady will get cured automatically - be itpsycopathical or mantrik......If exorcism is really required due to the severity of the problem, itis best to approach only trusted persons whose nobility of thought andpurpose are beyond question.Blessed be.Pandit.
