My daughter has given her son a necklace to wear as a charm for protection; a pundit (Hindu priest) told her that his deceased grandmother was trying to take him with her. This after he suffered from some form of seizure. The pundit performed some ritual (I was not present, I did not approve) and gave him the charm which is made of some lumps wrapped in cloth and tied around his neck by a string. I am concerned about the possibility of this bringing demonic influence into his life (he’s 4 yrs old) and I am seeking opinion and advice from any of you who have knowledge and experience in these matters. (By the way we are all Catholics)
 
Well, I’m not an expert on anything you just described, but I’ll give you my general Catholic advice.

First off, you know you that the child’s grandmother could do nothing of the sort, so no protection is needed. Second, you are right to be wary of non-Catholic, non-rational practices designed to ward evil influences, not because they are themselves evil, but because there’s no assurance that they can do what they claim. Finally, any religion that is open to multiple gods is, by default, open to the influence of demons. There is no safe worship aside from the worship of God. We have the first Commandment for a reason. Demons are so quick and happy to take any guise to manipulate God’s children, and bring us to destruction. That’s their only drive in their miserable existance.

So, while I don’t doubt the good intentions and sincerity of the Hindu religious in question, I think it’s a good idea to protect your family from their relious works as much as you can. I don’t know why your daughter would even go to a Hindu “pundit”, but if it was just a casual thing I’d suggest reminding her about the faith, and about our reasons for avoiding superstition, and trying to remove this influence from her and your grandson’s life.

God bless, and I’ll pray for you!
 
Whether or not actual demons are involved is irrelevant because this is clearly an appeal to magic condemned by Church teaching. The Catechism says (especially the bold):
2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity.
I would do my best to not freak out, but patiently instruct your daugther. And run far away from this pundit and get rid of the charm immediately with no if’s and’s or but’s.

Take him with her to where, exactly? From a Hindu perspective, the “priest” sounds very suspicious.

Yes, it does sound rather superstitious and it does carry the suggestion with it. Why plant seeds? On the other hand, I would be more concerned that a four year old has a string tied around his neck. Potentially more dangerous than the charm.
 
If you think wearing charms of any kind is demonic why do people wear crucifixes? Also, if polytheistic religions are all demonic, how do you explain the fact that they were around long before Christianity? There was no devil or demons until the Cristians came along. Just curious

I’ve never heard of “traditional” Hindu priests saying things like this. But Hinduism IS a very diverse group of religions.

I hardly would think that Hinduism is “demonic” or has a demonic influence. The Catholic Church recognizes that there are certain truths found in various religions, but it has the so-called Full Truth.

The real question that Catholics should ask and answer is:are Hindus worshipping the Divine? If not, what are they worshipping? Seeing as how Hinduism has some of the oldest beliefs in the world, as well as the oldest religious text, what are you to make of that?
 
also, the belief in evil beings does transcend Christianity. However, various non-Christian gods and goddesses were demonized and thus became part of the demonic hierarchy of Christianity. Various religions do believe in divine possession, where the deity enters or overshadows the body to reveal a message, etc. This has many terms, such as invocation, “taking a seat”, etc. However, these are not demons, at least from a non-Christian point of view. The Hindu gods and goddesses are not demons.
 
Look who’s talking. Another Hindu extolling the non-existent qualities of Hinduism. Many Christians are deceived into believing that hinduism is just another religion. Hindus try to make a great case for their religion. They will tell you nice tales of the greatness of Hinduism. The Truth however is very much different. Hinduism is the cradle of idolatry and heart of Satanism in the world. Everything about the religion is evil. But Hindus cannot find their religion Satanic for the same reason a pig cannot find the filth and mud in which it is frolicking dirty.

But those of us who are born and raised in India know how much hinduism is dominated by the powers of darkness. When people see news reports of the poverty, suffering and violence in India, few people take time to stop and ask why India is bound into an endless cycle of suffering while Western nations are so blessed.

Hindus like to say that India is poverty ridden because their karma is bad and reincarnations will improve their position. But for how long? How many reincarnations does India need to improve their karma? These people have been like that only for the last 3000 years when Hinduism first made its presence felt in India. Our Secular humanists are quick to reel out many historic and pseudo-scientific reasons for the disparity, because they are unwilling to face the truth. But the real reason is simple: The Judeo-Christian heritage of America/Europe has brought the favor of God, while false religions have brought the curse of Babylon on all the nations of Asia including India.

Everything about Hinduism is sickly. Hindus consider the pervert God Krishna as the supreme God and Jesus Christ as an incarnation of Krishna. The tourist who travels to India’s many temples is often shocked by wall art that depicts sodomy, child sex, orgies and bestiality of the grossest kind. Yet, all this is part of what lies at the core of Hinduism. The same shock is received when tourists see Hindus drinking urine from animals and humans and smearing dung in their hair and on their body. Other immoral practices of Hinduism include using children as sex slaves in Hindu temples (Devdasi system). They not only serve the sexual perversions of the priests and gurus but also bring in money for the temple.

Child sacrifices to hindu gods such as Kali, Durga and Shiva were very common until this Hindu practice was criminalized by the British. Even today with the exit of the British this practice flourishes in India. The story of the cult of the Thugees is well known. Being originally fire worshippers, Hinduism developed the grisly practice of burning a widow alive on the funeral pyre of her husband (called as Sati). If she did not willing jump into the fire, she was often thrown into it by the mob gathered to watch the spectacle. Hindus should thank the Christian Missonaries whom they are murdering daily in India for largely stopping this gastly practice.

The Hindu Gods fare even worse. Look at a picture of Kali and tell me if she looks like a God or a Demon? Then there is the practice of worshipping the Lingam (Penis) of Shiva for better sexual power.
I can go on and on…

And lastly Hinduism is demonic because it stops man from finding the true God. It considers Man as Brahman (God). Yet this is the same lie that Satan told Adam and fooled him into sinning against God. Hinduism considers anything that cannot be explained as an Illusion (Maya). Hinduism says a problem can be solved by denying that the problem exists. Hindus considers the cow as a holy animal yet there are verses in the Vedas which extol the joys of having sex with cows. Demonic Religion, Mindless people. That is how I will describe Hinduism and Hindus. May God save them.

Hindus do believe in demonic possessions just as Christians do. They also have their own rituals to exorcise demons. However, most pandits (not pundit) will not approach anyone claiming they are possessed. The ones that do are are nothing more than exaggerators or wannabe Brahmins (I was a former Brahmin - so i know exactly what i am talking about). Even orthodox Hindus get offended by such fake pandits. Although there are some Brahmins who are also pundits (which means an expert in law, music, poetry or philosophy).

If you are Catholic, there is nothing to be concerned, truly. Such talismans are nothing more than wearing a bracelet around your wrist. Removing the charm will have no adverse effect on your grandson either. If your grandson did have a seizure, then please bring him to a doctor immediately. I recently discovered i am epileptic (had a seizure for the first time in my life less than a month ago). It wasn’t a very pleasant experience and i fell down in the middle of the road while crossing. God must have been there to save me. Most of all, my wife was beside me when it happened and the few good souls (bless their hearts) who carried me to the curb.

Just remind your daughter that she remain faithful in the teachings of the Church and put her trust in Jesus, not in some “pandit”. Let the “pandit” approach other Hindus. Its preferable your grandson wear a crucifix than some worthless charm. But as i said, bring him to the doctor. They might have to do a CT scan and MRI to confirm.
 
Oh one more thing, whatever lancelot said - not even close to the truth. He probably read his “info” from wikipedia. I am not endorsing the Hindu religion, but i do not tolerate bigotry either.
 
Hinduism hasn’t any demonic influence.Its a very good religion with nice philosophy.Though hindus worship many gods but they believe that these gods are the aspects of one supreme God.I like hindu God Krishna very much,because he is a very kind person.Lord of Hinduism shri krishna is really very loving God.I respect him for his kindness to people.Though as a christian I believe that holy trinity is only God,but it is a different matter.
 
The ritual’s intent was to protect the son. It is a form of prayer, as it request divine help in protecting the child. Therefore, because of the pwoer of thought, the child now has a nice little ward around him to ward off any demonic influences. So the ritual did just the opposite, as it was a protection ritual.

There is no proof of that. What they did, even with the best of intentions, was completely against Catholicism. It isn’t acceptable regardless of the intentions behind it.
 
cathopologist, better to go to heaven in rags than to hell in embroidery. I see you have chosen the broad road to hell. Tell you what, Lancelot knows Hinduism much much better than you do. Also there is not need for him to refer to stupid sources like wikipedia which anyone can modify anytime, anywhere. Lancelot does not need to refer to external sites for knowledge of Hinduism. He himself is the living encyclopedia of Hinduism.

How is that Lancelot, knows so much about Hinduism? He is from the Hindu heartland of Delhi and his mother and wife are Hindu (or rather were Hindu at one time until they came across the self realization that Salvation is only through Jesus Christ not through some mythological creatures). Lancelot is well conversant with the Hindu scriptures which are all mythogical and sexual rubbish. That is why whatever lancelot says about Hinduism is the closest thing to the Truth. I have mentioned some books below which are written by Hindu Brahmins who left Hinduism. They will explain how hollow and demonic is the religion of Hinduism.

*Some 15 years before his death, Mohandas K. Gandhi the man most people know as Mahatma Ghandhi and the greatest Hindu ever, wrote: “I must tell you in all humility that Hinduism, as I know it, entirely satisfies my soul, fills my whole being, and I find a solace in the Bhagawad Gita and Upanishads.”

Just before his death, Gandhi wrote: “My days are numbered. I am not likely to live very long-perhaps a year or a little more. For the first time in fifty years I find myself in the slough of despond. All about me is darkness; I am praying for light.”*

Gandhi kept praying to Hindu gods but never found the light. That is how hollow Hinduism is. It flatters to deceive. The thousands of westerners who think Hinduism can give them eternal solace will do well to ponder upon the words of Gandhi.

BOCI is shortly bringing out a book called “Hinduism the demonic faith”. Currently you can read their bestselling book the “Sin of Idolatry” at the link geocities.com/yahwehcalls/
 
PS: I understand that I am extremely direct in this article. It should be like that. Jesus was direct to the Pharisees because they were taking scores of people off to hell with them. So is the case with me. Hinduism the demonic faith is taking scores of Hindus and many Christians too to Hell along with it every day. You may be next. We need to get all our ammunition out and speak out the Truth about Hinduism however much it may hurt Hindus (and Christians who tow the line of Hinduism and are assured of reserved seats in hell). After all, what does it gain a man if he gains the full world but loses his own soul! If you die tonight, are you sure of going to heaven? 98% of us will say Yes, but will end up in hell. May Heavens help them. Amen.

morning_star777 seems like the devil has got you too. I do not know if you are talking out of ignorance or has half knowledge of Hinduism. Anyway both are dangerous. Satan has blinded the eyes of the people to believe in mythogical and hand-made non existent gods rather than in the true creator. And you have fallen in his trap like a fly. Your statements “Hinduism hasn’t any demonic influence.Its a very good religion with nice philosophy” confirms that easily. The devil’s greatest aim is to fool people especially Christians into believing that there is salvation in all the religions. But this lie is exposed easily. All the dogmas of the major religions contradict one another. And God being the truth cannot contradict himself. Christianity and Hinduism are the two most diagonally opposite religions of all. All the dogmas of these two religions are on a head on collision - Resurrection vs Reincarnation, Grace vs Karma, Last Judgement vs Moksha, Covenant vs Religion, Truth vs Idolatry, Jesus vs Krishna. Christianity is not a religion. Religion is man’s search for God. Christianity is a covenant or relationship with God. It is God becoming incarnate TO REDEEM MANKIND. Hinduism is demonic and deep rooted in the Occult practices. Witchcraft, Black Magic, Yoga, Asstrology, Palmistry, human sacrifices to Gods, Tantra are all part of the Core Hindu religion and this is exactly what makes it demonic. Hindu Philosophy teaches that Man is God and denies the concept of sin and hell which are the ultimate lies. Every pagan religion followers wear amulets which constitute a form of Idolatry, the greatest sin accoding to the Bible. In the book of Macabees we read about how some Isrealite soldiers were found dead wearing pagan amulets and necklaces meant for protection from evil and were prayed upon to get their souls out of hell. The amulets that hindu godman give to put around the arm or the neck will not protect but actually make one vulnerable to the demons. The amulets are idolatrous from the Christian viewpoint and they open the way to demonic communication just like Yoga does. The cross and “the name of Jesus” are the only two symbols that the devil/demons fear. We who are living in India are very well aware of these things. They are very routine over here. Read any literature by GFA (Gospel for Asia) Missionaries to understand this point. See how they converted scores of Hindus in India by driving out demons (exorcism) which the hindu guru’s and godman could not do. But many people are fooled into believing that the tantrik or pundit can actually drive out demons using some amultets or doing some hocus pocus.

Have you been to India any time? Visit the olden Hindu temples and see the vulgar postures which the gods are demonstrating to their devotees - kamasutra postures. Do you call this a religion?

Hinduism is an idolatrous religion and the Bible says behind every idol is a Demon (1 Corinthians 10:19-20). Yes, Hinduism is a demonic religion. I could have explained it to you in detail but I do not have that much time. To know how demonic Hinduism is, kindly read any of the following books written by ex-hindu Gurus and Yoga Teachers:
  1. Death of a Guru by Rabi Maharaj (search on google or amazon)
  2. Sushila’s God
  3. The God who answers by Fire
The first one is an international bestseller.

Talking about your “nice God Krishna”, forget for one moment that Krishna is a mythological God found only in the fables and lore of India and see what the Hindu story books aka scriptures tell about him. According to them, Krishna was born because sin had increased on earth. So according to Hindu scriptures God became incarnate for the umpteenth time in the form of Krishna not to save the evil doers but to KILL them. During his youth Krishna used to STEAL butter (And I thought God said, Thou shall not steal). When he became a teenager he became a pervert. He used to climb trees to watch the nude woman of the village have bath in the village ponds. Many times he used to hide their clothes and would not return it to them until they exposed their full nudity to him. Has the post of the God of perverts been taken? Yes it definitely has been - by Krishna. He would nicely fondle many of these village cowgirls (called gopis) and only when he was fully satisfied, he would return their clothes. He had sex before marriage with one of the village girls called Radha who later on became one of his wives. The Bible calls this fornication and further says fornicators will not attain heaven (Eph 5:5). During his lifetime Krishna slept with more than 3800 woman many of them other man’s wives (And I thought God said, Thou shall not commit Adultery). That is why Krishna is known as “the great lover” in the Hindu religion (According to me he should be called the great pervert).
There are many more incidents in the Mahabharata which show the nature of Krishna as a “God" who is willing to bend all the rules illegally for his convenience.

Firstly Arjuna was not willing to fight the Mahabharata war against his relatives for the kingdom (material things). It was krishna who cajoled him and made him ready to fight. Krishna’s supposition was that the kingdom was his right. Many Hindus today claim that Jesus is an incarnation of the Hindu god Krishna. I wonder in what sense? In sexuality? Krishna was a pervert jumping on any woman he found attractive, Jesus was a totally chaste person and beyond sin (John 8:46). In Material things? Jesus commanded people not to collect material things (Matt 6:19-20) and give freely even if someone were to take your material things by force (Matt 5:39-42). I wonder how can the Truth called Jesus be a incarnation of a mythical figure (Krishna) who never existed?
During the Mahabharata war, Krishna was Arjuna’s charioteer. At a crucial juncture in the war, when the battle between karna and Arjuna was going on, Karna’s chariot wheel got stuck in the mud. It was an ethical practice in those days that when two warriors are fighting then both should fight facing each other. Since Karna’s chariot wheel got stuck and he was trying to fix it, his back was to Arjuna. At this crucial juncture Krishna coaxed Arjuna into shooting his arrow and killing Karna. Krishna’s explanation was that Arjuna would never be able to kill Karna in single combat and hence they would never be able to win the war. Well, what a God is Krishna, a God who stoops to conquer.
If that was bad, then this is worse. The opposition army was led by the invincible Dronacharaya. Now Krishna knew as long as drona was at the helm of things, the Pandavas to which side Krishna belonged would lose the war. So Krishna told Yudhister, the eldest of the Pandavas and a person who was known as “the Truthful” in the Mahabharata to LIE to Drona saying that his son Ashwatama was killed in battle. This lie by Krishna ultimately decided the fate of the war. So now not only has the post of God of Perverts been filled but also the post of God of Liars.** The only reason the Pandavas won the war was because Krishna lied and cheated his way to victory.** If you still think this information is false then start reading the Mahabharata. May God save you from eternal doom and bring you back to the narrow path of Christ the only Savior and path to Salvation.

A simple answer would be to tie some wood from the true cross or the teeth of one of the saints or anything else flogged at a bazzar in Israel for under a tenner around the neck.
the evil magic will be canceled out by the good magic.

Problem solved.
