Premanand Maharaj: People often become afraid upon hearing the mention of ghosts. Many want to know what ghosts look like and whether they can truly come near humans. What did Saint Premanand Maharaj say?
Premanand Maharaj: The subject of ghosts has aroused both fear and curiosity in people for years. Many people want to know what ghosts look like and whether they can truly appear to humans.
According to saints and sages, ghosts do not have a static form; instead, they change their appearance every moment. This is why they are not easy to identify.
The appearance of ghosts keeps changing!
According to saints, ghosts don't stay in a fixed form. They can change their appearance every moment. One moment they appear as a man or woman, and the next moment they can be extremely terrifying and hideous.
Sometimes they appear in a normal and familiar form, and sometimes they suddenly take on a very beautiful or scary form.
This is why it is not easy to identify ghosts, because their shape always keeps changing.
The life attained by the Adhohaki becomes a ghost
According to religious beliefs, when a life is degraded due to its actions, it enters the ghost world. Such lives live in a state of extreme suffering.
It is said that the conditions of beings living in the ghost world are extremely difficult. Rivers flow before them, yet they cannot drink even a drop of water. Food is before them, but they cannot eat it. They subsist only on air.
Why do ghosts come to humans?
According to legend, ghosts don't visit every person. They only go where they believe their suffering can be resolved.
If they hope to attain salvation or well-being by approaching a saint or sage, they appear before them. It is believed that salvation is attained through the saint's grace or resolve.
Who are affected by ghosts?
According to religious beliefs, the influence of ghosts primarily affects those who are influenced by the mode of ignorance.
Those who engage in wicked behavior engage in unholy activities, or misuse practices like witchcraft and mantra are considered more likely to be affected by ghosts.
The ghost possesses the body of such people and tries to reduce its suffering.
Ghosts stay away if you take God's name!
According to the saints, ghosts do not come to those people who chant the name of God and remain engaged in the worship of God.
It is believed that where God's name is chanted, mantras are chanted, or devotion is performed, ghosts and spirits are immune. The name of God is believed to have so much power that negative forces cannot survive.
Why shouldn't we be afraid of ghosts?
According to religious teachings, there is no need to fear ghosts. If a person remembers God, chants His name, and does good deeds, they are not afraid of any negative force.
Therefore, saints always advise that the simplest way to avoid fear is to take the name of God and live a positive life.
