One thing I’ve noticed is that the gurus punishing me are seeking total revenge. All the devotion and service I showed to them for many years means nothing to them. Every night for almost 3 years they have demonstrated how they will torture me for eternity. This makes me believe more than ever that tantra is Satanic at its core. I am sharing a post from Msgr. Rossetti’s blog (catholicexorcism.org). He publishes a new post every week and I’ve learned a lot about the enemy from his writings:

I have been astounded at the tenacity and commitment to vengeance by a particular witch. She was in a relationship with a male who eventually broke it off. She was hurt by the rejection and she turned to revenge.

Initially unknown to him, she is a proficient witch and she has taken to cursing him daily. The effects of her “magic” and curses are very real as it invokes the power of demons. She is daily tormenting him.

What is astounding is her unwavering commitment to revenge. The breakup happened over three years ago and she is daily still hounding him with dozens of texts and multiple curses. The focus of her life is revenge and she is daily spending hours intent on destroying his life. She swears she will never stop.

This is yet another sign that she is a minion of the Evil One. Satan’s entire existence seeks revenge against God whom he believes victimized him. He is spending every ounce of his dark energy forever lashing out against all that is holy. But his undying revenge is only destroying himself, as is the undying revenge of this witch.

It reminds me yet again of the importance of forgiveness and Jesus teaching us to forgive those who hurt us (Luke 6:27-29). We need to release others from any spiritual debts or wounds related to us. And we ourselves need to be freed as well. It does not mean that we have not been hurt or that those who have hurt us are in the right. Rather, it means that we will not be defined and enslaved by such actions and their wounds. We acknowledge the wound, and give it to Jesus the healer of souls.

I feel bad for the man who is being tormented. I also feel bad for the witch who is consumed by revenge. The afflicted person and I pray for forgiveness, to lift the curses, and for healing. We also pray together for the woman (which surprises her!). May she, too, forgive and find peace.

Tantra, as a spiritual path, is often misconstrued as simply a sexual practice in the West. It is, however, a far more complex, ancient Eastern tradition that incorporates yoga, meditation, ritual, and cosmology. This path is not for most, and can be extremely dangerous, even if undertaken with proper guidance. The dangers and challenges of engaging in Tantra are palpably clear in the fears of the local Indian people towards yoginis and their temples, as noted by Vidya Dehejia, an American academic and the Barbara Stoler Miller Professor Emerita of Indian and South Asian Art at Columbia University. In a lecture she gave two years ago for the British Museum, she said, “some of the ancient texts speak of people becoming food for the yoginis if they divulge the secrets of their cult.” The warnings given by Tibetan Buddhist master Chogyam Trungpa in some his early books are harrowing in a different way and should also be taken into account.

Dehejia revealed a fascinating aspect of Tantric mysticism in her lectures about yoginis, the female practitioners of Tantra, and their temples. Her studies unveiled a cultural fear of these powerful women that has persisted for centuries. She found that the locals harbor a sense of dread, an awe rooted in fear. The fear is primarily driven by the idea of the “curse of the yoginis.” The public perceives a multitude of ways one could trigger this curse. For example, mere proximity to the yogini temples, or revealing the secrets of their cults, were believed to be enough to summon the curse. This fear is deeply entrenched and is supported by the ancient tantric texts.

This pervasive fear, Dehejia found, made her research quite challenging. A tangible example of this fear can be seen in the history of the Hirapor temple, near the capital of Odisha, Bhubaneshwar. Despite its proximity to a major city, the temple remained hidden until 1953. The locals undoubtedly knew about it but chose to keep their knowledge secret to avoid invoking the yoginis’ curse. This fear inhibited Dehejia’s research as no one was willing to guide her to any of the temples.

But the dangers of Tantra are not merely mythological or culturally driven. Chogyam Trungpa, a well-respected Tibetan Buddhist teacher, issued several warnings about the potential hazards of Tantra. He spent years preparing his students before he ever taught them Tantra. He cautioned that Tantra should not be approached lightly or without proper guidance and emphasized that it was extremely dangerous and that without a mature understanding and respect for its philosophy and practices, Tantra could lead to severe psychological and spiritual difficulties.

For a comprehensive understanding of Chögyam Trungpa’s views on tantra, see his books, particularly Journey Without Goal: The Tantric Wisdom of the Buddha and The Lion’s Roar: An Introduction to Tantra. While these works offer valuable insights, I advise extreme caution with tantric practice and, ultimately, recommend avoiding it altogether.

Both Dehejia’s account of the locals’ fear of yoginīs and their temples, and Trungpa’s own teachings, underscore the profound seriousness of tantra. Together, they serve as a sober warning to anyone considering crossing the threshold into tantric practices.
