Summary

The Healing of Anantrao and His Family Through Sahaja Yoga

Anantrao Reddy was first introduced to Sahaja Yoga during a program at Shri Mataji’s Prabhadevi residence, where he was found having a strong possession that was diagnosed by vibrations. He began visiting Phadke’s house for daily guidance, where he gradually improved through chakra treatments, vibrated water, and meditation. Despite health issues like a weak heart, he began feeling 15 years younger after a week of treatment.

As his involvement deepened, Phadke discovered the real cause of Anantrao’s persistent chakra catches: possession by the soul of, Tatya Maharaj, whose belongings Anantrao still kept. Once these items were discarded into the sea, his condition improved somewhat—but not fully.

Later, Phadke found that Anantrao also had his late wife's photo on the wall, which showed heavy catches. He warned that her unfulfilled desires were affecting the family, especially their son Girish. Anantrao resisted initially, but after Girish fell dangerously ill with high fever and visions of black figures pulling him, Phadke intervened with meditation and mantras. Girish recovered immediately.

Phadke then warned Anantrao that his wife’s spirit was possessing Girish, and that real healing required discarding her photos and starting matka treatment. Anantrao finally agreed and began the 21-day ritual. As predicted, the possession intensified briefly, even affecting Anantrao, who suffered from heart attack-like symptoms.

Phadke rushed to his home, treated him through vibrations and mantras, and brought him back to full consciousness—despite the doctor previously declaring him bedridden. After some time in the hospital and regular support from Phadke, Anantrao recovered fully. Even the doctor was surprised at his improved condition after Anantrao resumed attending Shri Mataji’s meditation programs.

On the 13th day of matka treatment, Anantrao had a dream in which his deceased wife appeared and peacefully took leave, ending her connection. From that moment, his health and his son’s condition dramatically improved, and peace returned to the home.

From then on, the Reddy family embraced Sahaja Yoga as a way of life, continuing vibrational practices and regular meditation. Their journey demonstrated how unseen spiritual influences, like attachments to the dead, can deeply affect physical and emotional well-being—and how Sahaja Yoga techniques and Shri Mataji’s grace can liberate even the most troubled families.

REDDY’s POSSESSION OF TATYA MAHARAJ

There was a programme on the terrace of Shri Mataji’s house at Prabhadevi. A shamiana had been erected. A number of people had gathered there to listen to Shri Mataji’s speech and to know about Sahaja Yoga. After the programme of speech and meditation, people started prostrating at the feet of Shri Mataji.I was standing next to Shri Mataji . At that time, one person fell at Shri Mataji’s feet. He was possessed. Shri Mataji, told me, “ Phadke, just see what is wrong with him?” Accordingly I checked the chakras of that person through vibrations and found that his Manipur, Vishudhi and Agnya chakras were caught up and I told Shri Mataji about it. Then Shri Mataji asked me to explain to him about the treatment with the help of the photo of Shri Mataji and accordingly I explained to him everything. He then asked me for my address. Since I was lived in Prabhadevi itself, he came home along with me. I also enquired about his name etc. and he said that his name was Anant Raghunath Reddys. Since he was staying nearby Bengal Chemicals, he started coming off and on to my house and also started attending the programmes on the terrace regularly. In a few days, due to the grace of Shri Mataji that person got his Self realization. He started experiencing the flow of vibrations on his hands. He said to me one day, “Please give me some personal guidance,” and accordingly he started coming to my house every day morning at 7 O’clock and I started teaching him. I tested each and every chakra. Since he had a weak heart he had a lot of problems. If he walked a little he used to feel tired. I started giving treatment on the fingers of his hands for seven days. Daily he started feeling better. Later I started giving him vibrated water , which I myself had prepared, to drink before and after the treatment. After seven days Anantrao told me, “ Phadke , I now feel fifteen years younger. Which means I feel I have gone back fifteen years in age.” He felt a lot smart also, thereafter he used to take vibrated water from me every eight days and used to use it. He did not break this practice for almost two to three years. He also used to come for meditation regularly. But his chakras did not clear completely. Because of problems related to his shop he was not able to sit for meditation in peace at home. Still the question dogged me as to why there was so much pressure on his chakras. When I used to ask him whether he had any gurus , he used to reply in the negative. But I was not satisfied with that. I asked him, if there were no gurus then is there someone who was very close to you who had died? Then he told me yes. At the end of the investigation I got the following story. In his house earlier, there lived a householder by the name Tatya Maharaj. He was very attached to Anantrao. He had died a few days earlier. Anantrao had in his possession, his photo, money, clothes etc. When I checked his photo, I found that the catches I felt and the catches on the chakras of Anantrao were somewhat similar. Even in his house I found the catches on those chakras. Then I told him to throw away the photo and all other things into the sea and he did 74 accordingly. Then he started feeling a little better. The severity on the chakras reduced but still he was not completely free.

1) PROBLEMS OF THE DEAD PERSON’S ATMAN 

A few days later when I went to his house I found a photo hanging on the wall. I checked that also through vibrations. I found severe catches on the Agnya and Manipur chakras of the photo. Then I asked him, “ Whose photo is this?” He told me that it was of his wife who was no more. After one or two days, I explained to him very clearly, that there is a lot of problems on this photo, then why do you want to keep it? It will be beneficial for you if you throw the photo and other such photos you have in the house in the sea. Because your wife is dead now but some of her desires are still unfulfilled. Anantrao did not like what I said. Even after two months the photo was still there.

3. SEVERE IMPACT ON THE CHILD DUE TO POSSESSION OF MOTHER 

Then one day his son fell ill. He was frightened. The boy’s temperature rose to 104.4 degrees Farenheit. He called me to his house. When I went to his house and checked the vibrations I found heavy catches on the Agnya and Manipur chakras. Anantrao being already a heart patient, seeing the fever of his son, he started losing courage. I also did not know what to do. I also found catches on the Vishudhi chakra. Eyes were closed and he had also become speechless. I immediately reflected on Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi and went into meditation for 5 minutes. Then in a state of  thoughtless awareness, the thought came that I should tell the Radha Krishna mantra, because Radha Krishna is the deity of the Vishuddhi chakra. Then immediately I placed the Vishudhi finger of my right hand on the Vishudhi chakra of Girish and in full meditation, I told the mantra ‘ Om twamewa sakshat Shri Radha Krishna Sakshat Shri Nirmala Devyai Namoh Namah” 121 times. I said this mantra within my mind and kept the left hand raised to the sky. Girish started talking. “ I am feeling alright. You don’t go away. When you are not there I am frightened.” Then I asked him, “ Frightened , means what do you feel ? Do you see anything in front of your eyes?” Girish then said, “ I can see four men dressed in black and they are pulling me away, and so I am frightened. From the time you have come, I am not feeling frightened and I cannot see those black persons in front of my eyes also.” Then I put bandhan for him, put Shri Mataji’s vibrated kumkum on his forehead and also gave him vibrated water to drink. In two or three days he became completely alright. The day Girish was frightened it was the day of Amavasya. Every Amavasya he used to get fever and be frightened. After the above incident, one Saturday, Anantrao came to me and asked me , what to do, how will this problem go away? I immediately told him, Girish is being possessed by his mother. You don’t talk to me until you throw the photo into the sea. Because whatever food Girish may eat, whatever Doctor’s medicines he might take, it is not going to have any effect on him. Because his Manipur chakra is badly affected, and whatever he eats is not being assimilated by him. Because of the Agnya chakra there will be differences of opinion between you and him, there will be no understanding. Besides his sight is not good, his eyes are constantly fluttering. I told all these things a little angrily. If you do not want to listen to me, let us not talk on the subject again. When I told him like that he realized. Because what I had told about Girish , they were all true. In a minute or two , he agreed to throw the photo in the sea, but asked if Girish wanted to see his mother’s photo tomorrow then what to do. But I explained everything very nicely to Girish, and he  also understood it and the very next day, they threw away all the photos in the sea. Even though the photos were gone, the catches remained , because Girish’s mother had taken hold of his body. Then I told him to do the madka treatment for 21 days for Girish and he agreed to that. He started the madka treatment. Seven lemons, seven chillies and water vibrated by me were put into the madka. At the time of starting the madka treatment I had given some instructions to Anantrao and it turned out to be absolutely right. They were: 1) This catch is not going to go away that easily. Before leaving the house it will show its severity. 2) You have heart problem. Your son is having the catches, so it is going to have its effect on the close relatives, hence it will affect you. You will not die but you will have to suffer greatly. 3) During the madka treatment if you hear the madka break , then have strength of mind and continue with the madka treatment.

4)) ANANTRAO IS ILL WITH HEART ATTACK

 As already anticipated within 3-4 days of the beginning of the madka treatment , Anantrao’s health started deteriorating. He got fever. He started getting pain in the chest. Everybody became very concerned. Doctor came and gave him injection, but his confidence also had gone down. In the afternoon around 1 O’clock, Anantrao became a little conscious and remembered me. He sent his servant to my house but I had gone to school. Then around 3 O’clock his servant brought a taxi and came to my school. Along with him was my wife Vijaya. Then from there itself we left for his house in the taxi. His servant was looking very frightened. From the taxi itself I checked the condition of Anantrao and I found that his left side was in a very bad condition. All his chakras on the left side was very bad and I found hot vibrations on my left hand. I also became unstable. I thought to myself , what can I do? If Shri Mataji’s grace is there everything will turn out alright.  At last I reached his house. The moment I reached his doorstep, he felt my presence, but he was unable to speak. I called out to him but got no response from him. I took his left hand in my hand and gave vibrations to the fingers by taking the names of the deities of each chakras they represented 108 times. I had kept my other hand stretched to the other side . Then I gave bandhan for myself, Anantrao became conscious by then and called out to his servant and said, “Give a chair for Phadke to sit.” I told him, “ I am sitting on a chair. How are you feeling now?” He replied, “ I am feeling alright. I am feeling a little confident now that you have come .” Then he sat down, we had tea together, then once again I took his hands and started giving vibrations to the chakras on the fingers. I took the names of the deities of the respective chakras 21 times while giving vibrations on those fingers. I had closed my eyes and was in meditation. After I had given vibrations on all the chakras , Anantrao became fully conscious and he sat up and started chatting like an ordinary man. The doctor had told his relatives , “ Let him lie on the bed, don’t allow him to get up.” Later, I started developing problems. A little pain started developing near the heart. But I did not pay any attention to it. Anantrao was chit chatting for about one to one and a half hour. The doctor came and checked him up and told that he was alright . Then I told him now, with the help of the doctor try to get yourself admitted into some nice hospital and get yourself mentally prepared that you are going to have a change of surroundings and will be in a hospital. Anantrao told me, “ I will go to the hospital only if you promise me that you will visit me in the hospital daily.” Then he got admitted to a hospital and was there for about 10-12 days . When I returned from Anantrao’s house, everybody from my house started telling me, “ what is wrong with your eyes?” I had problems for 5-6 days. But with foot soaking, shoe beating, taking bandhans and other remedies I started getting better.  Then I used to go to the hospital to meet him daily. I would simply talk to him and he would feel better.

5. DOCTOR’S ARRIVAL 

In a few days Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi returned from England. For 2-3 days there were programmes at the Bharatiya Vidhya Bhavan on Treatments and meditation both morning and evening. I told Anantrao that there was Shri Mataji’s programme. See ! If it is convenient. But the problem was that, the doctor had told him to take complete bed rest and he had also warned him, “ If I come to know that you have got up and was roaming around the house, I shall not come.” But since I was giving him treatment through the methods of Sahaja Yoga with the Grace of Shri Mataji, I encouraged him to attend the programme of Shri Mataji. We went to the morning programme by taxi, but still I was feeling a little afraid. But I had put my full faith on Shri Mataji, and I took him to that programme on meditation, and having attended he felt better. In the afternoon, instead of going by the lift, he climbed the stairs and again he came for the evening programme of speech and meditation. I checked for catches on the chakras and found him completely normal. At night while returning , he got down from the taxi and walked nearly two bus stops back home. Everybody looked at him in anger. Some of them told him, “ Doctor has told you to take rest, and you are roaming around the whole town !” Later that night the doctor came for his routine check up. After checking up, the doctor said, “ You are looking very well today” On warning the rest at home had to keep their mouth shut. Isn’t this the miraculous capacity of the vibrations of Sahaja Yoga !  After returning home from the hospital , the doctor advised him to take complete rest for about a month. Now, he climbs two floors, every Saturday and Sunday for meditation on the terrace at Prabhadevi. He also attended the shop for work. His health became alright because of the grace of Shri Mataji.

6) VISIT OF THE DEAD PERSON IN A DREAM

 After thirteen day matka treatment he started feeling uneasy. At night, he started developing pain in the chest, and began feeling as if he might not wake up. Between 1 and 3 O’clock at night he went through a difficult time. When he dozed off around 3-30 am he had the vision of his wife in his dream. She placed one hand on top of his head and she told Anantrao, “ Now I am going away.” Then Anantrao woke up. His pain had disappeared. He felt completely cured. His son Girish’s face had completely changed. Now he seemed very lively. His face was glistening. He always has a smile on the face. After 21 days of matka treatment there is a healthy atmosphere in the whole house. Everyday they drink vibrated water . If he felt a little uneasy he comes over to my house. A little chat on Sahaja yoga and makes him feel better. For him Sahaja Yoga has become a way of life.
