[Video of Sadhguru sitting on a cushioned bench. Dressed in white robes and white swami-hat.]
Sadhguru:
This happened when I was just...uh...(pauses)...this was not the first time, but this is one of the things that I saw. My father's grandfather's sister
[my note: Sadhguru is saying this is the sister of his great-grandfather...thus, a great-aunt - I think this is how it's reckoned in genealogy trees].
Sadhguru continues: So her daughters, 2 of them, 1 of them [my note: I think that makes the great-aunt's daughters Sadhguru's 2nd-degree cousins according to genealogy] was visiting us when we were in Mysore. I am a 3rd, 4th standard (ie 3rd grade-4th grade in U.S. terms), what would I be? Maybe I'm 8 years of age, probably...and this girl must have been in her late teens, kind of 18-19 kind of girl and there have been so much stories about their family and possessions.
When we have gone to their house they're telling about how ghosts are walking around in their house, how they dismantle this, dismantle that, the noises that they hear and the imprints that they've seen in the house, all kinds of things. And actually they showed me a few things which really intrigued me, that, you know, like they will be sleeping and somebody will whack them, you know, that, you know, like they will be sleeping and somebody will whack them, you know, like slap them in the face and actually marks, finger marks left on their face.
They were telling this all to my father and my father just dismissed this off as nonsense and you know, he was..he is a doctor and he is like, all this nonsense he just dismisses it off, all this.
Then this girl is visiting us, many months after this thing and in the morning big commotion. She was sleeping in the same room as my sisters and she put her arms around my sister's neck like this and she slept.
[Video shows a painting of 2 girls sleeping...1 with her arm like a V-armbar over the other girl's neck]
And in the morning, like this about 7:30 - 8:00 we are supposed to leave for school, whatever you do you can't open this arm of hers. She is a very puny little girl, okay? She's just about 5 feet in height and very, very puny girl. And 3-4 people - whatever they do - she is simply sleeping like this. My sister is awake and she is screaming her head out. [audience laughs] She wants to get up but this is like steel, it's just like this. And they got - you know. they called the hospital punes to come. 2 grown men came and they're trying to literally break her arm. It just won't open.
[Video shows Sadhguru from the back as a little 8 year old watching this scene]
They're struggling with this for more than 1-1.5 hours. So my sister is crying, terrified she is, she is crying and crying but they can't release her from this grip and this girl is simply sleeping. They put water on her, they did all kinds of things, they're slapping her to wake her up - nothing. Then my mother is crying, "What's going to happen to the girl?" and you know, it's a big commotion in the house.
So I am happy we're not going to school today!
[Audience bursts out laughing, hooting and clapping. Sadhguru laughs]
We just need an incident you know? [Audience laughs some more] and here is the perfect incident and these things always intrigued me. So I am looking at this and I am too small to exert my physical strength, but these full grown men are holding (the puny girl) by the shoulder and trying to open this elbow, they can't open this elbow. All this crying and commotion is happening, then my mother goes into, you know, in India always every home has a shrine and she was initiated when she was very young and she always kept certain things going every day for herself and she went into the shrine and there was a kind of a....
Sadhguru hums thinking of his mom's guru...pauses....
kind of a yogi and an occult person mixed. He was a devotee of Hanuman, you know Hanuman? So he is a devotee of Hanuman. I have been there to this man.
[video cuts to a painting of a yogi sitting at a table hands folded with a painting of Hanuman on the wall behind him]. He was a doctor by profession and he dropped that and he turned into a complete this-kind-of-thing where people, every Sunday morning he will see people and hundreds of people will gather.
My father, 100% atheist and non-believer at that time, later on he became very devout. So when my father was maybe in his...I don't really remember his age...he must have been in his late 30s or early 40s, suddenly his blood urea rose to peak points and his medical knowledge told him that he has only a year or two left. So he became very emotional about this and I, you know, I always overheard things and he was talking to my mother and my mother was crying and he said, "Children are also young, what'll happen? I have to make this arrangement, that arrangement." As he spoke my mother was breaking up more and more. He thought he is going for sure.
So at that time, he knew him (the guru) because he was a doctor in the past, that man, and now he has turned (to) this and somebody said go to him. His name is Maruti Rao. Maruti means Hanuman. He changed his name probably or maybe that was the original name, I'm not sure. Every Sunday morning, hundreds of people gathered to see him and I went there to see him and he was all, you know, Vibhuti (consecrated wood ashes) and this and that, he would sit bare-chested and he had a kind of power about him. I liked the way the man sat there, he was something. I did not understand what he was at that time. It looked funny to me, this Hanuman worship and everything but he looked impressive, the way he was, he was impressive in his presence, in everything. So my father went to him and he said, "This is something that has happened and this is it and within two weeks I'll set this right." And as part of that he did many things in two weeks' time my Dad's blood work was perfectly ok and he was normal. So since then, my father became [Sadhguru kowtows like a devotee] a devotee. Not a complete devotee of his but he had great regard and respect for him because his education freaked him up that he thought if you have this kind of blood urea levels you must be going, but now suddenly he became perfectly ok without any treatment, with some simple things that that man did and after that he gave them a kind of a bangle. It's still there. I, you know, I made similar things later, much, much later but he made a bangle, a copper thing with copper wire wound around it and he gave it to my father, "At any time if you feel ill or anything you just keep it under your pillow and sleep, it'll become normal for you." It's only for him.
So this...because there was no use, my father was healthy so it was kept in the pooja (alt spelling - puja) room.
[video cuts to a painting of a small alter with paintings of deities, flowers and incense before each deity painting.]
So when nothing worked for this girl, somehow my mother got this idea and she just brought this and put it on the girl's other hand or something and immediately she released. The moment they put this bangle, I was witnessing this, as they put this bangle she just released and, [video cuts to painting of the two girls sitting up..one gasping for breath holding her chest..the other rubbing her eyes]...."Ha, ha," she woke up as if she's bewildered about something and then this girl is narrating everything that's happened in the house since morning. And she said, whoever possessed her told her that my mother is abusing her, who is this devil who's possessed this little girl and whatever else and all those things she's saying word by word which was not spoken in her presence and that girl was completely unconscious. Everything she is, you know, saying like as if she heard every bit of the conversation. Like this, after that I witnessed many things like this.
So there's a whole history to that family and whatever else, that's different. They were not psychologically ill, for sure. So this whole tamasha happened and after that I witnessed many other situations like this. But most of the time what I have seen, 90% of the time, these things are psychological. A little bit of it, it may be there. Rest of it, your own mind will drive you crazy. Tomorrow morning when you come out of your house, when you open your door, there is a skull and blood all over and some other this-this-this, you know.
[video cuts to painting of door house with skull and dog's tail on the front steps and blood on the ground everywhere]
Make it as weird as you can. A dog's tail and a human's skull and something else and all that stuff, now you see this, that's it. You will become ill. You will become sick, your business will go bad, everything negative will happen to you because a certain fear grips you. So most of the time, 90% of the time it is just psychological. But yes, there is a science like that, that one can use their energies negatively. One can use energies negatively to cause harm to somebody else.
What is the protection? One thing if you are on spiritual sadhana you don't bother about all those things. You don't even think about those things. Another way is, you can wear certain protections like a rudraksh, you know?
[my note: a rudraksh is a kind of rosary (mala) strung with the seeds of the rudraksh tree.]
A rudraksh is like a protection against any kind of negativity, but you need not bother about those things. You just keep your focus in life and keep going. If you are in sadhana, you just don't bother, it will be taken care of. It's mostly receded, very little of that is happening, and that little has nothing to do with you.
[video cuts to what looks like images from some b-grade spooky movies - one shows a woman chanting verses, making certain mudras then scattering something over a small pit of flames, etc.]
Sadhguru continues....
But if you live in certain areas, certain parts of the country, this is very rampant...
[video cuts again to yet more b-grade spooky movies - one of a woman shaping a voodoo doll over a grimoire and skull then sticking needles into the doll.]
...because there are a few people doing these things in those areas, so they can cause immense damage to people. One thing is if you have such impacts, you come and sit in the sphere of Dhyanalinga (ie Dhyanalinga Temple)...
[video cuts to what must be a camera-drone flying over the top of the Dhyanalinga temple. It is huge surrounded by lush green forests and mountains in the background. Video shows the various buildings around the temple and then cuts to the temple interior, etc.]
....back to transcript....
One thing is if you have such impacts, you come and sit in the sphere of Dhyanalinga, because there are occult dimensions to Dhyanalinga which just nullifies all this. There are hundreds of people who think they are possessed and all this and we just tell them, "Five minutes, ten minutes you sit there and go." They go out completely free because the occult dimensions are taken care of in the Dhyanalingam area.
[video again cuts to interior of Dhyanalinga temple but this time with ordinary people in everyday clothes (a few disciples in disciple robes too) sitting cross-legged in front of the immense alter.]
You can do it from here also. It is not necessary you have to come there, but once again it's your receptivity, you are more receptive if you are in the actual presence of it. You can just spend a little time there. If you fear that something like this has been done to you, one Pournami or Amavasya when things are more receptive for you, just one day you sit there and go, that's all. It gets taken care of.
