Possessed by ghosts
Question:
How to explain the fact that before and after initiation I was seduced by ghosts?
Answer:
Initiation is not magic. However if we continue to follow the process of sadhana bhakti, of which initiation is one of the items, then gradually we will gain protection from all bad influences. We read in the 11th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam in the chapter concerning the Avanti brahmana that it is the mind which is the cause of all our problems. Neither ghosts, nor karma, nor planets, nor other living, etc. can check our spiritual progress if our mind is determined to serve Krsna. So please remain determined to continue this process and surely your future will be bright.
Yours sincerely,
Trivikrama Swami
