Of the Possessed and the Maha Mantra

 I was working in a publishing house some time back. Most of my colleagues were of different faith but that did not deter us in working together for a project or meeting deadlines. Amongst them was this fairly nice-looking girl who always dresses fashionably to work. Many of my colleagues will comment on her nice fashion sense which is not over the top. 

One hectic day while I was busy cracking my head for a story, Suzie (not her real name) who sat opposite of me started to shiver and said it was too cold. I thought it was the air conditioning and offered to turn up the temperature.  While trying to get the remote to do so, my other colleagues rushed her to the back room of the office. I was still a little perplexed by the turn of events. A little while later, I saw my office mates rushing out of the back room without Suzie. 

Without wasting any time, I went to the back room. What I saw confused me even more. Suzie was lying on the floor and was shivering. I asked her whether she would like some hot drink of a blanket. But all she said was that she was feeling cold. I then knelt down and asked her what was wrong. That's when Suzie's face twisted and she was giving out an eerie laughter. She gruntled menacingly. 

I caught hold of her hands and pushed her down. Then it was Suzie all over again and she told me she was afraid. Luckily by Sri Krishna's mercy she was not stronger than me. If she was, I most probably would not be able to type this as the window behind me was open and we were on the third floor!




What was amazing about this whole incident was, I chanted the holy names constantly. I even told Suzie or whatever that possessed her to shut up and even had the courage to ask who that was! Believe me, I am a scaredy cat and will run far away at the drop of a pin if there was danger or heard the word ghost. 

But by the miracle of the maha-mantra I was not afraid at all. Soon Suzie calmed down and started to cry. I went out of the back room and told my other office mates that Suzie was possessed. After that her family members were called and she was sent home. She did not come to work for 3 months. 

The whole incident gave me a strong faith in the maha-mantra. It is so powerful that even ghosts will run away. The maha-mantra is NON-DIFFERENT from Sri Krishna. Never doubt it. You will definitely be protected at all times.  So please chant the holy name:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama 

Rama Rama

Hare Hare


Jaya Srila Gurudeve! Jaya Sri Radhe Krishna!

Life & Times of Sripad Bhakti Prakash Hrishikesh Maharaja in Malaysia

When I heard about the passing away of Sripad Bhakti Prakash Hrishikesh Maharaja, I was a little numb at first. My feelings were not completely settled to his passing. But after looking at his pictures, it finally dawned upon me that His Holiness was no more in this planet. Maharaja reminded me of someone so dynamic in serving Sri Hari, Guru & Vaishnavas. Nothing was impossible for him. Maharaja used to go heads on without thinking of any consequences. He did not believe much in meetings and talking about how to do a seva because he was an action man. He always said to me, “Let’s just do it. Krsna will take care of everything!!!” Maharaja was the first person to assist me in printing the book “Shower of Love.” When Srila Gurudeva ordered me to always write, I was totally lost as what to do. With whatever little knowledge I had, the compilation of lectures took place. But it was Maharaja who showed me the ropes of how to put in the footnotes, headings, sub-headings, titles etc. I re...

Toll Collection---Drama Within A Drama

It sure was a frantic night, having to stage a drama on Krsna-lila called Dan-ghati or toll collection. The children whose ages range from 5 to 18 years did a good job performing on Radhasthami. They were really nervous. Performing in front of so many people obviously saw some glitches. 3 days later, with a proper stage put up, courtesy by one of the parents, the children were to perform live yet again. Now, in front of Sripad Bhaktivedanta Vana Maharaja and Sripad Bhaktivedanta Bhiksu Maharaja. All the kids came to the temple at around 6:30 p.m. or earlier. I did a trial run on stage with them, pointing out their positioning and everything. It was almost 7:00 p.m. One of the main actress as "Srimati Radhika" was no where to be found. After some panic, one of the older girls in the cast said, "'Srimati Radhika" will come, and that she will be delayed as she had to attend a function." The time now was almost 7:30 p.m. Panic turned into desperation. The young...
