Dr. D came to me seeking answers after her husband's unexpected death by hanging. She was convinced it was not suicide, as he was a spiritual and loving man. The circumstances of his death were strange; he was alone, called his brother, and was found hanging from a half-open door just hours later.
My initial attempts to help her through deep trance were unsuccessful, as something was pulling her back, preventing her from accessing the memories of the event.
During the car ride home, Dr. D revealed some unsettling details about her four-year-old daughter. The girl had been having three types of dreams: a terrifying one of a naked man coming out of a wall and pulling her hair, a second of her father visiting her, and a third of Lord Shiva appearing from a photograph and sitting near her bed. The daughter's maturity for her age and her repeated insistence that her "dad was killed" strongly suggested a paranormal element.
Dr. D's family history also raised suspicions. Her father had died unexpectedly just six months earlier from what was diagnosed as hyponatremia and a heart attack. There was a strong suspicion that both deaths were linked to black magic, possibly for property disputes, a common practice in Assam.
Dr. D's mention of black magic led to a discussion about Mayong, a village in Assam considered the "Indian Capital of Black Magic and Witchcraft." The name itself is steeped in folklore, with some believing it comes from the word Maya (illusion) or from the Dimasa word for "elephant" (Miyong). Another legend claims it means "part of goddess Shakti."
For centuries, Mayong has been a place of supernatural stories. Spells and rituals were passed down orally, and it is said that human sacrifices were performed there in connection with the worship of Shakti. The discovery of ancient swords and tools used for sacrifices further supports these historical accounts.
The combination of my daughter's premonitions, the unexpected deaths of two family members, and the local history of black magic suggests a possible connection between Dr. D's husband's death and a malevolent spiritual influence.
Ms. S Shukla, a 21-year-old MA student from Jabalpur, came to you for a past-life regression to address her psychogenic polydipsia and low self-esteem.
On December 31, 2016, S, her father, and a friend, a homeopathic doctor, came to see you. During my first session in my spiritual room, S suddenly began to cry uncontrollably. She then felt a profound sense of coldness. As she closed her eyes, she had a rapid succession of visions: a tiger's mouth, a lotus, and several Hindu deities (Laxmi, Ganesh, and Lord Shiva). She also saw a black shadow with hollow eyes, which filled her with a sense of dread. The session was inconclusive, but you were able to confirm that she could be hypnotized.
The next morning, you guided her to a meditation session in my Kali Temple. This time, S was unable to visualize anything, but her father went into a deep meditation. He had a vision of the same black shadow, which was scaring his wife—S's mother—during S's pregnancy and birth. S's mother had passed away the previous year after a long battle with breast cancer.
After the session, when you suggested that S accept her body, she became angry and asked her father to leave, saying that no one understood her. This outburst, combined with her visions, led you to believe that a powerful black energy was haunting their family, causing their mental and physical distress.
The presence of this negative energy had a palpable effect on my home. A geyser and two electric irons stopped working. You felt a heavy heart, palpitations, and soon developed a sore throat and fever. My servants, Govind and Laxmi, began having nightmares. Govind dreamt of being choked by an unknown person, and Laxmi also had negative dreams. The session confirmed that this was not a simple psychological problem but a case of black magic. You decided to continue my work to help the family, even with the physical and emotional toll it was taking on you and my household.
