How to overcome difficulties in life caused by departed ancestors

[Guest guest]

Almost all of us are affected by problems in our life where the root

cause is due to departed ancestors' subtle bodies. This type of

spiritual problem affects us regardless of race, cultural background or

social status. While this is a spiritual problem, it can manifest in

many different ways in our day-to-day lives. In some cases, people have

gone through years of suffering only to find out that it could have been

alleviated in a few days. The alleviation would only have come about if

they knew the root cause, the remedy and if they had the required

know-how to put it into practice. What are ancestral problems?

Ancestral problems is the distress caused to descendants by the subtle

bodies of their ancestors who have passed away (died) and it manifests

in many ways in our day-to-day lives. It creates obstacles in both, our

worldly lives as well as spiritual practice. In some cases, it may seem

that the entire family has a dark cloud over it and various family

members are undergoing various problems despite all efforts to overcome

them.

 

How can the ancestral problems manifest?

 

The difficulties that are created due to departed ancestors come in

various forms as listed below:

 

* Inability to get married

* Marital disharmony

* Addictions (approximately 70% of addictions are due to

ancestors who have passed away

* Going blank in examinations despite being well prepared for

them

* Loss of job

* Difficulty in conceiving a child

* Miscarriages

* Bearing mentally challenged children or children with special

needs

* Death during childhood, etc.

 

At an intellectual level, we could use two rules of thumb to decide if

the cause of the suffering is spiritual in nature:

 

· All remedies to solve the problem have failed. This is

especially so when the problem should be easily treatable by modern

sciences such as a skin rash, chest pain, etc.

 

· A number of family members (e.g. 4 out of 5) are suffering

with any of the above mentioned issues simultaneously. (The reason that

all the family members get affected is that they all have the same

ancestors.)

Why would my departed loved ones and my other ancestors want to give me

pain?

The following are the two main reasons as to why ancestors trouble their

descendants.

 

1. Distress due to unfulfilled desires

2. Distress due to a call for help by ancestors What can I do to

protect myself against ancestral problems?

Problems caused due to departed ancestors are a specific type of

spiritual difficulty. Therefore we can successfully overcome them only

by applying a specific spiritual remedy. Psychological and physical

remedies simply cannot overcome the root cause of the problem and can

only at best provide some symptomatic relief. For example, if a person

is suffering from skin rash caused by ancestors, relevant medical

treatment can at best provide relief but not cure the rash completely or

prevent it from occurring again.

 

In order to gain insulation from problems caused due to departed

ancestors, we recommend chanting the protective chant of 'Sree Gurudev

Datta'. This chant represents the Name of Lord Datta, an aspect of God.

This is to be done daily along with chanting the Name of God according

to the religion of one's birth.

 

To give you an analogy, chanting Lord Datta's Name is like having an

extra dose of vitamin C when one has a common cold. The vitamin C is

taken along with the usual multi-vitamin tablet for good health (which

is the Name according to the religion of birth).

 

When we repeat the protective chant of Sree Gurudev Datta, we attract

the divine energy associated with Lord Datta's Name and as a result

we benefit in the following way:

 

1. A subtle protective sheath envelops us, protecting us from

obstacles caused by our ancestors.

 

2. It helps to nullify the give-and-take account that we have with

our ancestors thus reducing their influence on us.

 

3. It gives our ancestors the assistance they require to make their

onward journey in the subtle world.

 

Depending on the severity of the problem anywhere from 324 to 972

repetitions of the chant `Sree Gurudev Datta' need to be done on

a daily basis along with chanting of the Name of God as per religion of

birth, which acts as a general spiritual tonic for overall spiritual

growth.
