Halloween a spiritual perspective

3. What you can do to protect yourself from the spiritual ill-effects of Halloween

पौरबत्य दर्शन में शब्द को रूप का सूक्ष्म बीज माना गया है। शब्द के आधार पर ही रूप खड़ा होता है। रूप 

ध्यान का (Meditation on the personal form of God )का यही आधार है। जहां रामनाम का जाप 

है सिमरन  है रूप आराधन है वहाँ परमात्मा का उसके स्पंदन का आध्यात्मिक ऊर्जा का वास होता है 

और 

जहां डरावनी आकृतियों का ही दर्शन है हर तरफ हेलोवीन के भूतहा मुखौटे हैं उन्हें देखकर बाल मन चौंक 

चौंक जाएगा। यह बेहूदगी है बाज़ार का एक विकृत रूप है ऐसे मुखौटे गढ़के उनका व्यापार करना। ये 

एक तरह से मौत में से भी बाज़ार निकाल लेने  की जुगत   है।ऐसी ही परम्परा है हेलोवीन की। भूत प्रेत 

का 

स्वांग धरके डराना। माहौल को भूतहा बनाना। 

अध्यात्म  और मनोवज्ञान की नज़र में हेलोवीन 

बचपन में जो डर  का बीज पड़ जाता है वह बाल मन का ता -उम्र पीछा करता है। पीपल का बीज कभी नष्ट 

नहीं होता। बाज़ार में भी नहीं मिलता। कहते हैं कौवा खाता है पीपल के बीज को इसीलिए वह जहां भी बिष्टा 

(बीट )कर देता है वहाँ से पीपल फूट आता है। पक्की इमारतों को फौड़के निकल आता है पीपल। गीता में 

भगवान् कृष्ण कहते हैं -वृक्षों में अस्वत्थ मैं (पीपल )हूँ ,मुनियों में कपिल मैं  हूँ धनुर्धारियों में राम मैं हूँ। 

भारत का स्याद दर्शन व्यक्ति को मृत्यु के डर से मुक्त करता है। पश्चिम मृत्यु का बिग बाज़ार पैदा करता है 

डर बेचता है हेलोवीन पर। भारत की परा-विद्या ,लोकांतर विद्या एक विज्ञान। हेलोवीन अंध-विश्वास का 

कारोबार है।  आइये इसके आध्यात्मिक पक्ष की भी पड़ताल करते हैं :

 

1. Introduction to the Halloween festival

Halloween is celebrated in many countries, especially in countries like the United States of America and the United Kingdom. The festival has all the trappings of evil. The police and fire departments have learnt to be on alert and prepare in advance for a sharp rise in anti-social behaviour to coincide with the annual festival. However while parents caution their children about encountering unpleasant strangers on this day, they are unaware that beneath the veneer of fun and frolic of Halloween festivities, is an even more sinister unseen force at work.

Just as an environment of reverence in a place of worship is conducive to positive divine forces, the elements of this tradition actively contribute to the increased activity of negative energies like ghosts.

On Halloween night, adults and children dress up as creatures from the underworld (ghosts, ghouls, zombies, witches, goblins), light bonfires, and enjoy spectacular fireworks displays. The houses are decorated by carving pumpkins or turnips into scary faces. Some of the most popular yard decorations are jack-o'-lanterns, scarecrows, witches, orange and purple string lights, life-like decorations such as skeletons, spiders, pumpkins, mummies, vampires and other monstrous creatures. Other morbid decorations are foam tombstones and gargoyles.

In this article, with knowledge gained through spiritual research we explain the spiritual ill-effects of this festival and its short-term and long-term effects on people.

2. Spiritual effect of celebrating Halloween

At the outset, let us familiarise ourselves with a basic law of Spiritual science which states that ‘The word, touch, form, taste, smell and its related energy coexist’. This means where the word ‘God’ is present, God’s attendant divine energy is also present. That is why we feel better after chanting the Name of God or praying to Him.

Similarly where the name and form of ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) exist such as on Halloween, their distressing energy is also present. As the form and colour of the decorations and costumes used in Halloween are similar to that of ghosts, they act as antennae (similar frequency conduits) to attract a lot of negative distressing energy such as thecommon ghost (bhūt).

In fact spiritual research has revealed that Halloween is a festival that was created by negative energies with the objective of generating and spreading their black negative energy in society. Very often negative energies such as ghosts, demons, etc. put thoughts in people’s minds to start traditions that are steeped in Raja-Tama so that they can influence people through them.

With the attraction of ghosts to this celebration, the following are the main adverse effects on people and the environment in places where Halloween is celebrated.

2.1 Increased activity by ghosts

In places where Halloween is celebrated, the activity of ghosts increases by 10%. Due to the increased activity of ghosts and the negative vibrations created by the various costumes and decorations, the Raja-Tama in the environment goes up by 30% on the evening/night of 31st October, i.e. the time Halloween is celebrated. This is a very significant increase and has a heightened adverse effect at a spiritual level for a week. The effect then slowly subsides over a 3 month period.

Even during natural events such as eclipses, full moon and new moon there is an increased activity of ghosts. However this is due to natural phenomena. However in the case of Halloween, the increase in the activity of ghosts is purely man made.

2.2 The increased risk of possession by common ghosts

Please refer to the article on, “What is the meaning of being ‘affected by ghosts’ (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) and being ‘possessed by ghosts’ (demonic possession)?”

In the table below we give the effect on three types of people at an individual level – active adult participants in the festivities, active child participants in the festivities and those not actively participating.
