On the 49th day of Anamika’s meditation, not only her colleagues but all functionaries and acolytes at Adhyatm Sadhna Kendra resolved to undertake a fast and chant the  Navkaar mantra with each alphabet being chanted in the reverse order, alongside Anamika during her meditation. Accordingly, everyone had taken up a time slot for maintaining an uninterrupted Akhand Jaap of the mantra.

I too decided that I would stay at the Kendra for the duration of the next few days and attempt to assist and motivate the others in the endeavour. Anamika’s mother had also arrived at the Kendra to stay with her for some time.

On the appointed day, each person joined the sequence to chant the mantra and stay with Anamika for the entire duration. In this manner, at any time, there were always two acolytes sitting near Anamika, chanting the mantras, regardless of whether she was meditating or sitting in her room.

That day, in the evening, when this sequence of chanting and fasting was ongoing, the dark forces did appear but they grudgingly accepted that they were unable to bear the agony inflicted by the chanting. Additionally, a shield had formed around Anamika due to the chanting which they were unable to breach. They also told her that they were now leaving and had no further intention of returning to harass Anamika in her meditation.

On the other hand, the divine forces too had indicated to Anamika that her sufferings had now ended and she can continue her meditation without any hurdles.

Watching the alleviation of Anamika’s sufferings brought immense satisfaction to each one of us, and there was a general upliftment of spirits, as if we had won some important international match! I was now eagerly looking forward to learning and understanding much more from Anamika’s meditation in the near future.
