AN UNDERSTANDING OF
BHOOTHA-PRETHA-PISACHA
Someone may ask
whether Bhooth-Preth & Pisach are real or fake? Let me tell you from what I
know. They are real but not visible to all naked eyes like our own Aathma (Life
energy). If somebody, asks whether can you show me your Aathma? What would be your
answer to this question? Can we really pinpoint and show the Aathma in a particular place? No. Likewise, it exists but is not visible or tangible. Our great holy
Sthothras such as Hanuman Chalisa, Skandha Shashti Kavacham, Dharmasastha
Sthothram, Maha Ganapathy Kavacham, Vedas, Purans, etc… are mentioning Bhootham, Pretham, and Pisacham. If they are not existents, then why should such
Mahatmas be mentioned about these creatures. Mahatma will not tell lie because
they have no commercial interest, they only wished the welfare of humanity. Whether
right or wrong or existent or non-existent unless it afflicts one it is
difficult to convince the arguer. We need to know that all these creatures are
transformed from Jeevathma to another stage due to its KARMA alone. Many beings
are there like we live on this Earth. You will get a reward based on your Karma
is the only principle this nature follows.
Boothaas,
Prethaas, and Pisachaas are distinctively different. However, they are the same
Jeevathmas of different forms because of their Karma deeds. All good or bad
statuses are achieved based on our conduct in life. Doing good and getting the best
even after death should be the primary responsibility of every human being. In
my opinion based on my research, knowledge, and experience is telling me to keep
away from different religious leaders’ opinions and suggestions that, only through
our way one can achieve liberation, etc. No real God would like to enjoy
others’ sufferings. It is our duty to think logically with our own brains to
realize. No one can grant liberation from transmigration unless one tries
through Ahimsa practices. Doing Himsa (Killing) to any creatures in this
universe will bring adverse life thereafter. This is the simplest universal
approach that can be practiced by all.
All Jeevas
(soul) enter a physical body and leave either after completing their task or
premature. Therefore, this entry from one to join another is called YONI. When Jeevathma enters the human mortal body
it is called Manushya Jeevi then after leaving the body it will be called different names depending upon its purity or holiness. Let us learn in detail
about those states.
According to
Sastras, there are 8.4 million species exist on this Earth. Every species has
one unique source center called YONI. In each Yoni plenty of individuals do
their Karma. Based on their Karma some will get upgraded from one Yoni to a
better Yoni. Therefore, it is the duty of every individual to do good and get
ascended to a better status until we liberate ourselves. Some of our colleagues
may be helpful, a few troublesome, and some misguide depending upon our interaction
with them. It is also our earnest duty to wish for a better life for our mates
including Bhooth-Pretha-Pisacham. The harmless remedy is prayers to God who is
the custodian for all of us. The bad ones will keep asking for help to overcome
their ugly status. Now you know why they are called Bhootha Yoni, Pretha Yoni, and
Pisacha Yoni.
All these
Bhooth, Preth, and Pisachas are negative energies of Jeevathma, in the form of a
dark smoke complexion air bubbles. These subtle Jeevathmaas do not have Earth elements
in its body hence there is no specific physical body for them like humans or
animals. However, when they afflict or possess living beings, they act with
the help of the afflicted body.
Bhootha Yoni
(Pocket)
There is no
right English translation for Bhooth. However, it can be called a “Ghost/Spirit/Subtle-Element”,
a non-transparent subtle energy! In Indian philosophy, all of them are controlled by
Lord Siva and his representative Gods. They are collectively known as Siva
Bhootha Ganas. It can afflict some sects of people, animals, trees, plants,
birds, reptiles, etc, those who misbehave with God’s creation and nature. We
can experience only when it afflicts human beings. It is a kind of Bhaadha
(affliction/impact/effect). The person who got afflicted may feel as if someone
is there with him/her or someone is following just like a shadow but unable to
see with the naked eye. Maybe it can be caught on the Kremlin camera. Usually, the
Jeevathma gets to this stage only when it leaves the body in an unnatural or
accidental or suicidal death of the body. Basically,
these souls have not achieved peace (RIP) due to ineligibility. It is a state where
it died but not got the next purposeful birth either as a human or any other species.
Therefore, simply float in this atmosphere and possess in someone’s body who is
a sinner or weak-minded personality. There are so many classes of Bhoothas,
some are good, and some are bad. No one can live on this Earth without the
influence of Bhoothas. They can enter our life through one of the 36 body
components viz. Pancha Bhooth, Saptha Dhaathus, Navagrahas, etc… Therefore,
Bhooth is real not the imagination of a few.
Another meaning
of Bhooth is the Past or derived or revealed or created in this universe. The
Sanskrit sloka defines it as “Bhoo-thwaath Ithi Bhootham”. Therefore,
movable, and immovable bodies on this Earth are called Bhooth.
They can be classified into three groups viz. 1. With Supernatural power, 2. Asurik/Rakshasik power, 3. Casual power.
About Bhoothas
They are good and bad. There are three major divisions among them viz. 1. Siva Bhootha Ganaas (Follow Lord Siva’s orders, mainly 12 and their assistants), 2. Pancha Boothaas (Five element principal Lords), 3. Pretha Bhoothaas (Departed souls – generally harmful).
Pancha Bhootha Ganas and their significations:
Bhoomi/Earth = Brahma, Jalam/Water = Vishnu, Agni/Fire = Siva, Vaayu/Air = Rudra, Aakasa/Space = Sadhasiva.
5 Stars represented through Bhoomi Thathva – Aswini, Bharani, Krithika, Rohini, Mrugasirsha.
6 Stars represented through Jala Thathva – Arudra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Aslesha, Makha, Poorva Phalghuni.
6 Stars represented through Agni Thathva – Uthara Phalghuni, Hastha, Chitra, Swathy, Visakha, Anuradha.
5 Stars represented through Vayu Thathva – Jyeshta, Moola, Poorvashada, Uthrashada, Sravana.
5 Stars represented through Aakasa Thathva – Sravishta, Sathabhishak, Poorva Badrapada, Uthara Badrapada, Revathi.
Raasis represented by Pancha Bhoothas are
Bhoomi Thathva = Mithuna and Kanya.
Jala Thathva = Rishabha, Kataka, and Thula.
Agni Thathva = Mesha, Simha and Vruschika,
Vaayu Thathva = Makara and Kumba,
Aakasa Thathva = Dhanu and Meena.
Lord Siva, Maha Ganapathy, and Dharma Sasthaas are known as Bhootha Nath because all types of Bhoothas will have to listen to these Godheads.
Bhootha Bhadha Kaarakan is known as Rahu (shadow planet among Navagrahas).
Usually, when a Bhoodha Bhadha happens it stays at the rate of 45 multiple, this formula is known as Bhoodhabdhi means 45 number. Therefore, the affliction period could be 45 secs, 45 minutes or hours or days or years, etc…
Now you may wonder how these elements will afflict or attack us?
The fact is that we cannot have a human body without these primordial 5 elements, and they are natural resources and connected with the entire universe and us. They will afflict when we abuse, overuse, misuse, spoil, pollute, etc. They are directly connected with our body and show their weakness or strength in an individual’s horoscope and medical history. An example, let me tell you how people are misusing the water alone. We know our drinkable water source is only less than 3% on this Earth. It is so precious and without sweet water, there will be no living being nor Earth. Whereas there is no limit to misusing the water alone in the name of civilization, innovation, human progress, achievements, or scientific success what not? Likewise, all Pancha Bhoothas and the remaining 31 other Bhoothas are being misused. Nature is getting angry and slapping the human race. Look around at the number of problems and imbalances in front of us. Most of these are created by our own arrogance! This is how Bhoothas can trouble us if we don’t respect and live harmoniously with nature. In my view, science will eventually erase us to nothing! Countries are racing to accumulate nuclear weapons. Imagine if anyone blasts into any continent what will happen to our life (the success story of scientific achievement)!
Pretha Yoni
(Pocket)
In English, it is
called “Ill-Spirit”. The dead body is also known as Preth. A state of the
Jeevathma after quitting the mortal body till the next 12 to 16 days period or till
resting. This Jeevathma cannot control its thirst and hunger. Desires are not
completely fulfilled by these Jeevathmaas. Through final rites such as
cremation, Asthi Sanjyan, Udhaka Pinda Kriya, and Dhaana Dharma conducted by the
blood relatives, its Prethathvam (afflictions to Jeevathma due to the impact of
death) will be removed and sent to Pithru Lok or other celestial worlds as it
is destined in its fate. According to Dharma Sastra, unless one does Rishabothsarjanam
(a special pooja conducted on Rishab – bull/calf) its Prethathvam cannot be
removed at all. Therefore, conducting any number of rituals will have no
beneficial effects. Such Jeevathmas (sad dark energies) will look around to
enter some living beings and get their desires fulfilled. These Jeevathmas are
controlled by Lord Vishnu. There are so many classes of Prethaas. Most of them
are bad in nature.
The definition
of Pretham is “Prakarshena Na Gatham” which means, with its own Karma unable
to ascend to a better Yoni because it has conducted so many crimes that are not
pardonable according to nature. Ideally, someone from their blood relatives or
welfare workers must help them to overcome this status and obtain another
chance so that they can liberate themselves. When we do holy mantras chanting in an open
atmosphere, most of these Pretha-Aathmaas get purity and will be eligible for the next birth. Doing this helps the reciters will get blessings from them. This
is the reason why Sanathana Hindu sastras are recommending collective public
chanting.
About Prethas
Lord of Prethas is Yamadharma Raja (Yaman) also represents through Apa-bharani (Bharani) Star.
Pretha Bhadha can be identified through a natal horoscope or Prasna horoscope. Among the seven main Upagrahas (viz Gulikan, Mandi, Dhooma, Vyatipata, Pariridhi, Indra Chapa, Upaketu) the Upagraha Gulikan when placed in Anishta-sthana (House 3,6,8,12) and establish a relationship with Bhadhakadipathi (Please refer to Bhadhakadipathi chart below).
Alternatively, Kethu the shadow planet among Navagrahaas, establishes a relationship with Badhakadipathi, indicating that the person is under the affliction of Pretha Bhadha.
To know whose Pretha is afflicted on a person, one should see whether the Badhaka lord is having a relationship with the 5th lord then Son or 9th lord then Father, 4th lord then Mother, 3rd lord then Brother/Sister or Friend, 7th lord then Wife or girlfriend if Rahu then Grand Father and if Kethu then Grand Mother, etc.
Also, to know their gender the sastra recommends seeing if the Badhaka lord’s Navamsa position happened to be a Male sign or Female sign to conclude its gender.
Pisacha Yoni
(Pocket)
In English, it may
be called an “Evil Spirit or Vampire”. The exited Jeevathma from the human body will wait for the first 12 to
16 days to avail the offerings of their relatives, but if nothing was received within the stipulated time due to disrespect or ignorance or disbelief attitude or cruel nature of the blood relatives, will be automatically migrated to Pisachathvam status. Such negative
energy souls will float in the atmosphere. It will possess anger, revenge,
thirst for drinking blood, eat flush and like to torture its relatives. It also troubles anyone who tries to help its blood relatives. It enjoys when others are
getting tortured. There are so many classes of Pisachaas, and all of them are very
bad in nature. They look for an opportunity to afflict and torture, especially
human beings. They don’t show mercy to anyone. It is difficult to liberate them
from this status unless some Mahatmas i.e., Punya Purushas (holy men) decided to help
them. In human life, one among the 27 afflicting Bhadhaga Grahaas is Pisachaas. They travel on a typical energy path called Pisacha-Veedhi which is the 9th
Path around us, viz. Brahma Veedhi, Ganesa Veedhi, Agni Veedhi, Jala Veedhi, Naaga Veedhi,
Yama Veedhi, Kubera Veedhi, Deva Veedhi then Pisacha Veedhi.
The Sanskrit
definition of Pisacha is “Pisitham Maamsam Asnanthi Ithi Pisacha”. The
person or energy that consumes Meat/Flesh is called Pisachaas. We know in our
societies, almost all of them are eating meat. This means all of them are
afflicted with Pisachathvam. We may wonder why meat eaters are behaving in
this manner! (I have no right to criticize non-vegetarians! but unfortunately, this is the
fact according to Pramanam - the spiritual source). Please forgive me in case I
hurt anyone’s feelings or individual taste in consuming food). I have a request to all people to abstain from eating meat. Once upon a time, all humans were eating meat
but later when they realize the side effects and its contribution to their behavioral nature, the intelligent ones quit eating meat and adopted vegetarian
food. Nowadays the craze for eating non-vegetarian food and alcoholism is beyond words. According to Bavishyath and a few other Purans, by the end of Kaliyug, humans will eat other humans' flesh (on our earth some humans are already started
eating human flesh and drinking hot blood). I can understand why Punya Aathma
Sage Vyasa wrote in this manner in his Puranams. When Rakshasas are becoming lawmakers, every nonsense can become a law of the land. Those Pisachaas can influence so much! Our only
rescue is to exercise deep innocent prayers!
Why such
Jeevathmaas are falling into these Neecha Yonis?
A.
Some of the reasons are here
below:
1. The sastras say, while alive, those
people who commit so much of sins and atrocities even after getting timely advice
from a Wiseman to stay away from committing non-pardonable sins will eventually
fall in the pocket of Bhooth-Preth-Pisacha Yoni. Even after realizing their
sinful acts, they don’t do Prayaschith (suitable remedies) and ask for forgiveness
from the victim or God.
2. After death no proper final rites
were performed on such Jeevathmaas. Please note anyone who remembers God and does
rightful activities will never fall into this situation. If the Jeevarasam
(DNA) contains even a drop of divinity such a situation will not arise.
3. The people who get afflicted
(Bhadha) by these Neecha Yonis are the ones who committed innumerable cruel sins
in their past life.
4. Hiding truth and got punished
innocents due to their wealth and power. Though this can be understood from
their current life horoscope and do the necessary Prayaschitham to overcome the affliction. If not, even if they are a devotee (Kaarana Bakthi not a true
devotee) in this life, still they can be attacked by these impure powers. Every
Bhadha has different nature, and it can be felt only from the behavior of the
afflicted.
5. Non-performance of proper final
rites.
6. Cursed by others to attain this
status (The person who is cursing must be an extraordinary genuine person,
otherwise, it will not affect).
What do they scare
off?
A. Sun rays, sharp lights, the light
of a divine lamp, the sound of mantra (Mantra Dhwani), presence of divine people
(Mahathmas Saannidhyam) and their breath (Ni-swaasam), Sacrred Kavach, Kaali Devi, Lord Sri
Dharma Sastha, Ganapathy, Subramanian, Hanuman, Bhairavan, Thrimoorthys’,
Thrisakthies’, temple bell, sound from conch, processions of the temple deity, holly
books (Divya Granth), Holy water or places, smoke from the Yagna kund,
electricity, iron, ardent devotees, people with will power, tantric, Sidhars, etc.
How do they
catch/possess living beings?
A. It will look for an opportunity
to enter when people are physically and mentally weak, at unfavorable place time, and circumstances, planets are weak in their horoscope and their ruling period,
influenced by the tantric activities (Aabhichara Kriya), the body is not influenced
by Rakshas such as Kumkum, Vibhoothi, Original Chandhan, Yantra, Mantras initiated
thread, Temple Nirmalyam, etc. When walking alone in a lonely place (Vijana
Pradesam), passing by cremation or burial grounds, the body is not kept clean, when
certain alms (Dhaana) are received, those who completely forgotten ancestors,
selfish people, troubling and torture others on account of vengeance, exposed to caves,
hilltops, water reservoirs, road junctions, dark places, etc…
Now let us learn
Bhoothas in detail and whether they are part of good or bad categories. Most of
the Bhoothas try to help all creatures in achieving their birth task. Some will
trouble because the people do not deserve due to unethical life (unrighteous).
Who are the Badhaka Lords for each Lagna and Raasi?
For Chara Lagna
(moving signs) – Mesha, Kataka, Thula & Makara are their = 11th
Lord.
For Sthira Lagna
(static signs) basis – Rishabha, Simha, Vruschika, and Kumba are their = 9th
Lord.
For Ubhaya Lagna
(dual nature signs) basis – Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanu, and Meena are their = 7th
Lord.
When it comes to
Badhaka Raasi and its in-charge, the sastras consider Badhaka in two categories
viz Maha Badhaka (Great dangerous impact) and Sada Badhaka
(dangerous impact) as per the below table.
RAASI MAHA-BADHAKA SADHA-BADHAKA
Mesham Kumba (Saturn) Kumba
(Saturn)
Rishabham Makara (Saturn) Makara (Saturn)
Mithunam Dhanus (Jupiter) Dhanus (Jupiter)
Katakam Kumba (Saturn) Rishaba (Venus)
Simham Vruschika (Mars) Mesha (Mars)
Kanya Vruschika (Mars) Meena (Jupiter)
Thula Kumba (Saturn) Simha (Sun)
Vruschika Vruschika (Mars) Kataka (Moon)
Dhanu Vruschika (Mars) Mithuna (Mercury)
Makara Kumba (Saturn) Vruschika (Mars)
Kumba Kumba/Vruschika (Saturn/Mars)
Thula (Venus)
Meena Dhanu (Jupiter) Kanya (Mercury)
To establish whose
Badha is shown in one’s horoscope and which Deity (Devatha) is causing this
Badha, we need to investigate the planet that is occupied by the Badhaka Sthanas.
Here below the
set answers. If,
Sun = Siva Bhootha Ganas, Moon = Durga Devi, Dharma Devatha, Mars
= Subramanian, Mercury = Yakshan and Ghandharvan, Jupiter =
Brahmanan, Venus = Yakshi and Brahmarakshas, Saturn =
Kirathmoorthy or Ayyappan, Rahu = Sarpa, Kethu = Chandaala
Devatha.
Let us learn what Badha/afflicted/possessed in a person?
Badhas are innumerable just like the particles floating in the atmosphere. God’s creation is unimaginable. Many of them will take birth automatically based on the Karma they did. To name a few; Devatha Bhadha, Navagraha Bhadha, Bhootha Bhadha, Pretha Bhadha, Pisacha Bhadha, Dur Devatha Bhadha, Saapa Bhadha, Desa Bhadha, Kaala Bhadha, Grahana Bhadha, Dushkarma Bhadha, Sarpa Bhadha etc.
All Bhadhas are born out of Lord Siva’s wrath (Kopam). Here Siva means absolute truth. For our own good sake, we should never kindle his patience and invite trouble. He possesses the highest patience and compassion towards his creation, at the same time once he loses his patience it is not good for anyone. Such Baadhaas will automatically look for the source of the trouble caused and torture them without any mercy. No one will be capable of defending Siva Bhoothaas. People are committing so many crimes in this world thinking that no one is going to touch them. But they should know that if they are having a good time they will be spared, once the bad time starts they see 360-degree rotation! Do always good to everyone, and never think of doing bad to any living beings whether human or animal or plants or birds or anyone along with us. We will never know even if we commit a silly wrong action that can give birth to a Baadha because the entire universe is SIVA itself in multiple forms. Also, note many celestial bodies and some Rishis dematerialize their original body and take up some living beings on Earth and roam around, while doing so if we happen to trouble or kill them that is enough to invite trouble for many life. So many beings are here on Earth within multiple hidden tasks that we won't be able to identify them due to a lack of Thapo-Balam.
These Bhadhas are fundamentally classified under 3 groups. They are:
1. Hanthu Kaamaas (they want to kill and take revenge on the afflicted),
2. Randhu
Kaamaas (Physically and Sensually capitalize the afflicted),
3. Bhokthu
Kaamaas (Love to have Bali/Sacrifice).
In
general, Bhokthu Kaamaas (Soumya) are soft nature Badhakaas, Hanthu
Kaamaas, and Randhu Kaamaas (Agneyars) are aggressive and have punishing attitudes.
Bhokthu Kamaas are compromised on getting them Bhali (Sacrifice) or fulfilling
their desires (Icha) so that they will leave the body. Whereas Hanthu and
Randhu will never leave the body until they take revenge on the afflicted
person. If anyone does Maha-Paapam (the greatest sin whereby no Prayaschitham is
allowed by scriptures and God) they can get these Bhadhas on their body.
Devotion and earnest prayers towards God are the biggest shields to defend these
Badhakaas. Who knows what we did in our past life and even to some extent
current life that can trouble us. Do you know why sinners are doing more sin and
troubling their co-livers? Because they are under the severe influence of these
Badhakaas.
All living beings are born at a particular
time and such time is embedded with all universal celestial powers, which rule
our mortal body. Those celestial powers are influencing our body through Planets,
Stars, 5 Elements, 5 Thanmatras, 7 Dhathus, 4 Antha Karanas, 5 Indriyas, 49
vital breaths of air, etc…
They are 27
Bhadha Grahas usually attack humans. Out of them, 18 are very
important Bhadhakaas. They are Amarar
(Deva), Asurar, Naagar, Yakshar, Gandharvar, Rakshasaas, Hedraas, Kasmalaas,
Nisthejaas, Basmakaas, Pithrus, Kusaas, Vinayakaars, Pralaapaas, Pisachaas,
Andhyajaas, Yonijaars, Bhoothaas.
The other 9
Bhadha Grahas are Laghu Bhadha Grahas. They are Apasmara (Fix), Brahmanaas,
Brahmarakshas, Kshathriyaas, Vaisyaas, Soodraas, Neechaas, Chandaalas,
Vyandharaas.
How to know
what type of Bhadha Graha is influencing our life?
In a horoscope,
if the Badhakadhipa
is a relative/friend
of Lagnadipa then the Bhadha Graham is Randhu Kaaman,
if the enemy then
Handhu Kaaman (Agneyan) and
if equal
strength then Bhokthu Kaaman.
Please note,
Badhaka Planet can be considered as per Natal Lagna or Natal Raasi. I prefer
Lagna over other schools of thought because Lagna is YOU and BODY. All other
aspects are some parts of the body.
I daily offer simple Tharpanam to Bhootha-Pretha-Pisachaas for their upliftment as well as seek their good wishes on me and my family. The approach is -
Bhootha-Pretha-Pisacha
