Mehandipur Balaji Temple: Where Opposite Energies Converge
India is a land of wonder which has developed its discourse on the mind, body, and soul over centuries of learning and experimentation.

Many times, this energy does not find peace, rather it drifts and preys on others. What modern scholars would call the notion of ghosts or pret is an idea deeply rooted in the subcontinent. As a result, several institutions have emerged, like the Mehandipur Balaji temple - famous worldwide for its specialty in removing evil spirits and black magic from a person.
