Is the legend about Mehandipur Balaji Temple, that they drive out GHOSTS there true?

First – some details about the temple

Mehandipur Balaji Temple is a Hindu temple situated in Dausa district of the state of Rajasthan, dedicated to Lord Hanuman (the god of strength). The mighty Hindu God is also famously known as Balaji, hence the name of the temple. Many devotees believe that this place is bestowed with magical powers and hence this pilgrimage site stands witness to thousands of devotees flocking every day to get exorcised find relief from Black Magic. It is believed to provide the best counter-curse to weld off ghosts and evil spirits.

As the legend goes, an 11th century Saint Ganesh Puri Ji’s ancestor dreamt of Lord Balaji telling him to build a temple for three powers: Ghate Wale Balaji, Pretraj Sarkar and Bhero Nath. The temple was constructed at the place where there used to be a forest in the past. It gradually became a small village and now this temple resides between the two small hills. It is believed that the Balaji idol is self-constructed with stones of a hill, while the remaining temple is constructed according to the idol.

The shrine located at the temple has three deities who are mainly worshipped – Lord Hanuman (also known as Balaji), Pret Raj and Bhairav. All these deities are believed to be related to ghosts and spirits. The legend which follows this temple speaks of a divine power and it is believed that the idol which is worshipped here had appeared on its own. The legend also speaks of divine power which circumambience’s the temple. It is believed that this power has to ability to cure people who have been affected by evil spirits and helps them to free from the clutches of black magic.

Temples are often known for prasads, but Mehendipur Balaji Temple this is a place where no prasad is offered. As you step on the premises of the temple, the petty shopkeepers try to sell prasad. You have to take that black colour ball as it is considered unlucky to refuse them. While it is not meant to be eaten, you have to throw it into the fire.

The architecture of the Mehandipur Balaji temple reflects its story and eccentricity; you will surely feel the strong presence of negativity around you. There are four chambers in the temple – the first two chambers have idols of Lord Hanuman and Lord Bhairav, while the last hall might leave you with an eerie experience. You will see that the possessed men and women are banging their heads, pouring boiling water on them without feeling any pain; you find some of them hanging from the ceilings, adults chained to the big rocks and beaten by the pundits.

As you set to leave the place, make sure you do not consume anything or don’t carry any prasad, water or food item from here as talking or touching someone is prohibited here as many people are believed to be possessed, and if you touch them you might get affected. Apart from this, once you leave the temple, you should not look back because who knows an evil spirit is watching you and you might give an invitation from them. As soon as you exit the temple premises it is strictly advised to leave the village without having even a drop of water.

So what happened, COVID wards sprung up at various places. They were there specially to treat COVID patients.

This temple too has become famous for similar reasons. But only thin is that that the illness is not a microscopic protein but something else.

One thing we need to understand is that that the TEMPLE is there because people need it. People are thronging the temple because its solving a problem.

Also there are many more temples like this in India. This is not the only one – there’s

1. Devji Maharaj Mandir, Malajpur Gujarat
2. Dattatreya Mandir, Gangapur

So why are we unable to comprehend the problem?

Its because we are high on western science and western medicine. Cause that’s what we are taught throughout our formative years.

Well I can prove this to you. Which doctor do you go to when you fall sick – an allopathy doc or an ayurvedic doc. 99% will answer allopathy. Infact most of us are scared to go anywhere else.

But what we should understand is that that ALLOPATHY with all its fancy language and procedures and medicines is just a few hundred years old at max. There’s a clear trail of evidence that the west got their hands on a persian version of the SHUSHRUTHA SAMHITA and they developed it further.

Western medicine grew out of studying cadavers, whereas in India it was a taboo to go even near the cadavers although SAGE SUSHRUTH did use cadavers (but it was just a part of his work). So, westerners see the human body as a single entity. Whereas our ancient rishis saw it as a layering of multiple entities.

1. Atman / Brahmam/ soul – this is the part of the cosmic intelligence – the very reason for life
2. the karana Sharira or the causal body – this encapsulates the atman and this is the entity that has the memories of past life’s (luckily this can be accessed during PAST LIFE REGRESSION – hypnotherapist call this super conscious state)
3. The sookshma Sharira or the subtle body – sookshma literally means small. They say it’s the size of a thumb. This encapsulates the karana Sharira. This is the entity that carries the emotions and desires from past lives. Hypnotherapists call this the sub-conscious mind and this can be accessed during PAST LIFE REGRESSION too. THIS IS MADE OF 3 TATVAS – VAYU,AGNI & AKASH.
4. STHOOLA Sharira or the physical body – STHOOLA literally means voluminous. The is the entity that encapsulates the sookshma Sharira and is the physical body we see and interact with. THIS IS MADE IF 5 TATVAS – VAYU,AGNI, AKSH, JAL & PRITHVI

So when a person dies his sthoola sharira is cremated or buried – so the jal and prithvi tatva return to their sources (ie MOTHER EARTH).

The SOOKSHMA SHARIRA which encapsulates the KARANA SHARIRA and the ATMA is intact and alive. That’s the reason we do SHRADHA KARMAs for 13 days after a person dies. There is empirical proof of this (life after physical death) in books of IVY LEAGUE trained Hypnotherapists Dr Brian Weiss & Dr Michael Newton. Infact there’s a world famous author here on QUORA itself – Richard Martini who has a page called Hacking The Afterlife

Now this SOOKSHMA sharira needs to return to the PITHRU LOKA’s or higher LOKAS (if you know the GAYATHRI MANTRA – it starts with OM, BHU, BHUVA, SVHA – these are the lokas where people go and reside after death)

But, if the person has done a lot of EVIL during his life on earth, when such people die, they cannot travel to the pithrulokas. They are too heavy to fly and they have a lot of anger and sense of revenge. So they stay around the same place where they lived.

Also, like a smoker will become friends with another smoker and a drunkard will become friends with another drunkard, these evil entities will be befriended by other evil entities and they will party.

These are the kind of entities who end up possessing other living people. Also, they look for weak minded people through their AURA (which we can’t see without training). If you know about REIKI and PRANIC HEALING, you will understand.

People with low confidence and weak mind will have BLACK aura’s and people who do NITYAKARMA (daily puja), are mentally strong will have brighter auras. These entities will not cannot touch people bright auras.

So what happens when a person gets possessed.

The strength of the AURA is directly proportional to the strength of the SOOKSHMA SHARIRA.

So when the SOOKSHMA SHARIRA is weak – its like a weak current from a weak battery lighting up a circuit.

Now, these evil entities are also in the sookshma form, they take over the body of the person. Its like a circuit with a higher current shorts a circuit with a less powerful current and over-rides it.

Western medicine will call it some fancy mental problem. But thing is that even the catholic church recognizes EXORCISM – Exorcism: Vatican course opens doors to 250 priests

So yeah the problem is genuine.

Also, no one gets cured just by visiting these temples. There are detailed procedures to drive these entities out. Its not simple nor its straightforward and is beyond the scope of this article.

All I can say is that that, during my childhood days when my father used to take us to TIRUPATI during our summer vacation, on the way back we would stop over for a couple of days in a small village in ARNI district, Tamilnadu. This was the village my paternal grandfather stayed. Our days would be about taking bath in the borewell, eating food and occasionally seem my PATERNAL GRAND FATHER driving away such entities from people who would come to him for help.
