Bhuta Preta Pishacha

There are two great classifications of such forms of evil and demon spirits in Hindu
mythology; one is created by the Gods during the creation of the world and thus
brought into the world as demons or Gunas, soon after. The forms of evils and demon
spirits in Hindu mythology depend on the cause and kind of death occurred to the
individual.
The demons usually act at the orders of the greater deities as Nandi of Lord Siva or the
demons, who were decreed by Siva to destroy the yajna by Daksheye Prajapati. The
second category comprises of those demons, whose were created due to man, rather to
the spirits of men, who have once lived on the earth. The existence of these demons is
derived from deceased spirits of dead human beings and it is to these that admiration
and propitiation are commonly offered. All malignant devils are believed to have been
originally human beings.
If a man is injured and finally killed by a tiger or dies due to snakebite and does not
receive proper funeral ceremonies, becomes a ghostly spirit. It is believed that to
become an unquiet spirit, roaming about with malicious intentions is only possible if the
death has occurred due to sudden and unhealthy reason. Death in an accident and
formal discarding without proper funeral ceremonies or deaths inflicted by criminals and
disposal of the body furtively without proper religious rites changes the transitional
body into deadly and fiery ghosts or roaming spirits.
In Southern India, it is believed that if a dishonorable man dies accidentally, his evil
nature never expires and his every nearby souls assumes his personality and lives after
him as a demon. This is equally applicable to women, so the demons can be of both the
sexes, of any caste. Similarly demons may be of all and any ranks and may have either
distinguished or of low castes, as the cheating devils, deceitful devils, gaming devils
and others. A criminal who dies in a nasty accident, his sins and crimes live after him in
the shape of spiteful demons, as assassinate devils, theft devils, infidelity devils and so
on. Such demons are always on the search for weak-minded people and influence them
to commit crimes of similar type. Incarnated diseases, calamities, disasters, hailstorms
are strongly believed to be the activities of demons.
These lower forms of evil demons had been once the dwellers of human bodies that are
mostly dreaded by the general mass of Hindus and therefore mostly worshipped to
keep them calm. These are of three classes-bhuta, preta and pisacha.

 Bhuta is spirit originating from a man, who has died of a violent incident either
by accident, suicide or capital punishment. The one who has not had proper
funeral ceremony performed later.
 A Preta is the spirit of a malformed or crippled person or of one imperfect in
some limb or organ or of a child who expires prematurely due to the omission of
ceremonies during the creation of the embryo. It may not necessarily be an evil
liable spirit.
 A Pisacha is a demon formed due to a man`s vices. The ghost of a drunkard,
liar, and criminal of any kind, adulterer or one who died as insane is a Pisacha.
The Pisitchas are malevolent and roguish. They haunt graveyards or take up
trees as their abode. They may take hideous or striking shapes and even the
appearance of men. Animal blood is their favorite food but they generally feed on
corpses and may even dwell in dead bodies. They may even enter human beings
through the mouth and may bring about diseases and unpleasant affections of all
kinds. They may take the shape of a dog, cat, serpent or other animal.
 No real worship is actually performed for these demons. There are hardly any
temples raised to satisfy them. The only place of worship is a sheer heap of
earth piled up in a mountain shape, near some tree, or a similar creation formed
with bricks that is painted with long streaks of white. There are no special
prayers said at such shrines, but offerings of food are often arranged in such
customs.
In southern India devil worship is more religiously practiced as compared to the

North. Demonophobia is a common ceremony for the dead, prevalent all over the
south. The main reason for this could be the dominance of Saivism on a wide
scale or that during southern invasion the Dravidian and when they met with the
aboriginal tribes. These tribes appeared to them as if resembling those of the
demons. As the Aryans advanced their energized imagination, they converted
these powerful enemies into supernatural giants and veritable demons called
Rakshas. With the passing days, Aryans, Dravidians and indigenous mixed
together the dread of demons and generated many more customs to keep away
these demons. The lower castes called the Shanars are so scared of the South,
that they made a rule never face the doors of their houses towards the South, or
else the Evil spirits may enter their houses from that side.
The more, we move to the south, nearer Sri Lanka, we find the people drooped
in demonolatry and drenched with every form of superstitious fear of evil spirits.
The ghosts and roguish ugly demons are playing an important role in their day-
to-day lives. Therefore devil worship and propitiation still prevails among the
villagers, who make huge clay horse in their fields, in honor of the male guardian
God Ayenar, who is known to be a brave horseman and the most energetic anti-
demonist. Offerings and other prayers are presented to these clay horse God
images.
The Shanars, whose is known as a cultivator and climbs the Palmyra tree for the
sake of the juice, consider every malady to be more superstitious and influenced
by a devil and that a sacrifice is always necessary for its removal. Strange
severity or continuance of any disease proves the possession to be of the devil
spirit. According to Bishop Caldwell, when a woman weeps and laughs
alternately, without any proper cause, or screams and looks wild, when no snake
or wild beast can be apparently seen, the devil is supposed to be the cause of
this hysterical behavior.

There are several types of mantras which one can recite themselves and energise their
surroundings to get rid of the dark energy, even evil spirits and ghosts.
To remove evil spirits from one or inside the house:
Take a bowl of whole rice which must be raw and recite the mantras given below. Then
put some of the rice which is energised through the above mantras and throw it around
the boundary of the house, some can be sprinkled inside each of the rooms, some
underneath the bed and even some can be eaten raw to remove and negative and evil
energy. The rest can be added to other rice and kept in a large jar and constantly
energised daily. The more you energise it the more powerful it gets. Normally 1008
mantras must be done daily until the evil spirits are gone. The mantra is:
"Om Namo Bhagavao Goyamassa Siddhassa Buddhassa Akkeeyaa Mahaanasassa Thara

Thara Om Akkeena Mahaanasa Swaahaa Om Ksheem Ksha: Ksha: Ksha: Ya: Ya: Ya:
La: Hum Phat Swahaa ". This is one mantra and this needs to be repeated 1008 times
daily on raw rice.
Other ghosts/supernatural:
The mantra given below can be recited and then light an incense and then spread the
smoke in each corners of all the rooms. This must be repeated daily until this is
removed. Normally presence of ghosts makes the particular area very cold compared to
other parts of the house. Once the ghost departs the house will have different type of
positive and vibrant energy compared to dead energy before. The mantra is:
"Om Namo Bhagavao Araho Santhijinassa Sijhashyao Me Bhagavayi Mahaavidyaa

Santhi Santhi Pasanthi Uvasanthi Savvapaaavam Pasameo Thao-savva Sathaanam
Dwapaya Chaoppayaanam Santhi Desegaamaagara Nagara Pattana- khedevaa
Purisaanam Etheenam Napumsaganee Vaa Sawahaa". This mantra must be recited
correctly 1008 times daily until the entity or entities departs. This can even be
continued regularly to protect the house and any further ghosts coming in or the
original one coming back.
