After the discussion with my brother Sushil Jain, when it became clear that what was occuring was in fact reality and that there was the need to find a solution, it was perhaps Sushil who suggested we approach Mr. K.L. Jain.

Mr. K L. Jain has been associated with the Adhyatm Sadhna Kendra for perhaps a half of a century. Not only was he a highly respected member of the Terapanth sect, but he was also a reputable industrialist of the country. Even more than this, he was known as an individual with a level-headed, practical and intelligent personality. People from the community always turn to him to find solutions to their problems, be it personal or professional, and perhaps he too finds satisfaction in helping others. And this is also what makes him so well-regarded in the community.

Mr. Jain has been a close friend of mine for over 25 years and upon hearing Sushil’s suggestion, it came to me that perhaps I should have taken him into confidence sooner. The very next day, I got in touch with him and apprising him of the present situation, requested him to visit the Kendra in the evening to witness Anamika’s meditation. He promptly agreed to my request.

In the evening, Mr. Jain reached the Kendra and was partaking his meal. I had previously requested him to join us at the Kendra for his dinner, since by the time he would finish eating, Anamika’s meditation would have begun and we would together go to the hall and watch what was transpiring in order to get a better understanding of the situation. Mr. Jain was perhaps halfway through his meal when a colleague of Anamika’s, who was accompanying her during her meditation, came running to the room and informed us that Anamika was in great pain and it had begun to worry her fellow trainers. She asked us to immediately accompany her to the room where Anamika was meditating.

Mr. Jain and I hurried to the meditation hall and what I had been  witnessing for the past several days was now also seen by him. Anamika’s pain was clearly etched on her face, her expressions contorting her demeanor, and tears were flowing down her closed eyes. Mr. Jain has an extremely powerful and melodious voice. On seeing Anamika’s state, he began to recite the “Upsarg haran strotra,” the epithet which is used in the Jain tradition to alleviate pain and suffering. All of us present in the hall also joined him in chanting the strotra with complete diligence and after some 15-20 minutes, it began to appear as if Anamika’s pain was relieved and the dark forces had left.

Thereafter, we chanted Logass and other mantras to help Anamika complete her meditation and after returning from her deep state, she shared her experience with us. After that, we sang some hymns in praise of Acharya Bhikshu, which created an air of pleasant happiness. As was his nature, Mr. Jain spoke words of encouragement to Anamika and motivated her to carry on her meditation with fearlessness. It appeared as if Anamika too was infused with positivity and courage at his words and was ready to take on the obstacles she was facing with greater resolve.

The next day, the same procedure was followed, and with Mr. Jain’s assistance, Anamika once again completed her meditation successfully. It seemed as if the road ahead was now clear.

But alas! The day Mr. Jain stopped coming to the Kendra, the dark forces returned to continue their mischief.
