The constant disruptions and threats by the dark forces on the one hand and the indications being given by the divine forces on the other – I had no alternative now but to find a lasting solution. Hence, I once again reached out to Muni Jai Kumar ji, who was known in the entire Terapanth sect for perhaps being the most adept in meditation and penance. I made him aware of the entire situation as it stood at the time. He said that there is a solution to the predicament, which is almost similar to pulling the emergency brake in a train.

Per his previous suggestion, we had started chanting Navkaar mantra in every direction in an the reverse sequence and while it was effective in banishing the dark forces for a time, it now no longer worked. He then suggested a new solution. Like I have mentioned earlier, following Muni Jai Kumar ji’s  direction, instead of chanting the five verses of the Navkaar mantra in the correct sequence – Namo Arihantam, Namo Siddhanam, Namo Aariyanam, Namo Loye Savva Sahoonam – she was chanting the last verse first and the first verse at the end.

Now, Muni Jai Kumar ji suggested that not just the sequence of the verse but even the sequence of the letters of the verses must be reversed. The chanting must hence be done as follows:

Namhoosavvas elo mon
Namyajhajwaoo mon 
Namyaariayaa mon 
Namdhadsi mon 
Namtahamriya mon

Adhering to his suggestion, I not only asked Anamika but also requested all other instructors accompanying her to be present with Anamika during her meditation and chant the mantra according to the reverse method suggested by Muni Jai Kumar ji. By then, all the instructors at the Kendra had begun to treat Anamika’s sufferings as their own and were eager to assist in any way they could. That very evening, they accompanied Anamika during her meditation and chanted the Navkaar mantra according to prescribed method. The mantra took its effect almost immediately, and the dark forces, as if challenging Anamika, told her that even though the mantra was hurting them, they would not fall back. They were leaving just then but they would return and force Anamika to give up her meditation. Their threat regarding Anamika’s death could not be undone and they even went on to warn her that she would not be able to complete even 50 days of her meditation.

It was now clear that while on the one hand, the dark forces were afraid of the effects of the chanting of this mantra and were retreating, on the other hand, they continued to issue their threats.

Muni Jai Kumar ji, Muni Dharmesh Kumar ji, Samniji and other distinguished monks and nuns had repeatedly told us that while the dark forces can threaten us and even cause us physical suffering, they are in no way capable of causing death. Hence, the entire struggle was between fear and courage and which one of these would prevail.

In this situation, it was only logical that we plan and find a solution for the days ahead.
