Hare Krsna!

One evening in January 1993 I received a most unusual phone
call at my residence in Laguna Beach, CA. The man was
calling from a remote town in Northern Alberta, Canada; the
last place I expected to get a call from. His problem which
we shall presently discuss, was so bizarre, that he was
referred to me by his psychologist who had some how heard
of me.

The man, lets call him John, was studying to be a deacon in
the Catholic Church, the highest position for lay people.
He was married and had children but his family life was
undergoing difficulties over the last few years. His
daughter had developed acute asthma. Then his wife gave
birth again in July 1991 but the child died in Oct of the
same year. They over came the tragedy and conceived again
but after 20 weeks in the womb the child died--it had no
brain! All manner of strange things were happening to them;
they suspected that someone had sent imprecations and black
magic against them. They obviously were quite desperate to
come to this conclusion. Thus they were referred to me.

I had dealt with Abhicara (black magic) cases often in
India but since then only one or two cases. I was doubtful
that such things could go on in N. America especially in
Alberta. This part of the world is pretty low tech when it
comes to this kind of stuff. But with the 'New Age'
movement it is getting bigger. Anyway I still had my
doubts.

In such Abhicara cases I use special techniques that I
learned while studying Prasna Marga in Kerala where this
kind of thing is normal. The following report gave my
findings.

Dear John,

Hare Krsna!

You asked me the question "Am I and my family the subject
of a curse or black magic?"

My investigation yielded very surprizing results. The
answer is a resounding yes. I am surprized because I didn't
think anyone in Alberta would have the knowledge or
capacity to do such mayhem but apparently I was wrong. I
was actually expecting the opposite answer as these types
of black magic cases are quite rare.

My study reveals that your enemy is or has been employing
incantations with the objective of destroying you. It seems
that they are directing pisachas, a type of witch on the
astral plane, and balagrahas, evil spirits who especially
attack children, to harass you. You were probably first
attacked while having sexual intimacy with your wife. These
attacks have manifested in the form of diseases with fatal
consequence.

I was very surprized to learn that your enemy seems to be a
highly learned priest or intellectual type, I think a
priest because there were several indications to suggest
that the incantations were performed in a temple of some
sort by a high priest who has accomplices of a lower class
type. The enemy is an outsider from your family, he may
have been an old friend at some time. The enemy lives at a
distant place, not in your community.

There is strong indication that this affliction can be
stopped before it kills more, in other words you can be
cured. There are specific remedies recommended but they are
in the context of the Vedic religion which is different in
form from Christianity. Essentially I would recommend
sincere prayers and worship of Vamanadeva, a specific
incarnation of God, to eliminate this evil force. You may
want to pursue methods of exorcism which are utilized in
the Catholic Church. Since it is only through the power of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead that this evil can be
destroyed, you should avail yourself of His mercy and
protection. I am not an exorcist, but I do know some people
who are knowledgeable in these matters. If you can't find
somebody who you can trust in your church you can try
calling a friend of mine, their name is _______, this
person is also a devotee of God, their# is xxx-xxx-xxxx.
They may be able to advise you.

Please do not be fearful, these creatures thrive on your
fear. Become fearless by placing yourself humbly under the
protective shade of the lotus like feet of the Lord.

I hope that I have been of assistance to you in your quest
to serve the Lord of your heart.

Yours sincerely

Shyama Sundara Dasa

I got a call a few weeks later from the psychologist's
secretary who left a message on my answering machine saying
that John was quite happy with the information I gave him.

Then last December I get another call from John, this time
he wants me to do a full chart on him. In the course of our
conversation I asked him what happened regarding the
abhicara? He said that he had showed the letter to the
Bishop of the area and in consultation with other priests
it was decided that it was indeed a serious matter and that
he should have an exorcism! It seems that every diocese of
the Catholic Church has one priest designated for doing
exorcisms. The Bishop told John to contact this priest and
have the exorcism done. The exorcism took place at the
beginning of May 1993. I asked what results, if any, that
he had noticed. He said that by the end of May, his
daughter who had serious asthma had been cured of it for
all intents and purposes and that things were much better
now than before. Strangely, however, he said that his wife
and he were on the verge of divorce (she was sexually
dysfunctional because of having been serially raped from a
very young age) and that he had decided not to become a
deacon. I was wondering how this could be construed as
being an improvement in his family life but he assured me
that it was. I can only imagine how bad it must have been
before.
