Many souls from these worlds visit the earth plane duringeclipses. Notonly good spirits but also bad spirits come to visit their family members,friends and enemies.

The greatest contribution of India to the world is her spiritualscience. No civilization, however old it is, has ever attained the level ofsophistication reached by the yogis and siddhas of India When a person dies he takes with him all oldgood and bad thought forms and experiences that he had while alive. If someone had been a real bad person his soul starts the tortureexperience right after death. If one had lived a luxurious life, committing all kinds ofcrimes, that person will have the worst type of shadow existence. This life in shadow form after deathinvariably is a troublesome experience. The most intriguing thing is that thereare a host of your ancestors who are in shadow forms and hanging in themid-air. Some of them because of their evil nature are hangingupside down. This pain experienced the ancestors spiritsdirectly affects your destiny while you are on the earth plane. Logically it doesn’t make sense that you should suffer for some misdoingsof your great, great grandfather. But the siddhas claim this is soul genetics. Youare your ancestor both biologically and spiritually. I have a vacuum cleanerthat can cleanse the souls of your grandfather, grandmother or your great,great grandfather. The vacuum cleaner is called Tarpanam. Tarpanam means food offering forthe ancestor Q10 What are the conditions the mantras are to be efficacious? A10 If the mantras are to be efficacious, the one who chants them must be disciplined and must observe avariety of vows. There is, for instance, the mantra to cure a person stung by a scorpion.

There are rules for the recitation of each mantra, a time when it is tobe chanted and when it is not to be.If the rules areviolated it will have no effect. Itis said that the mantras are more efficacious when recited during eclipses. Q11 What do the five hands of Vinayaga symbolizes ?
