Behavior of a seven-year-old suddenly changing from stubborn to obedient after praying to remove any black energy around him

    One day, my seven-year-old son was behaving very stubbornly. He had to eat his food and he was not eating, which was making us late for his classes. I did not want to start a power struggle. I just kept quiet and looked at him and began chanting* with the prayer "God, please remove the black (distressing) energy around him." After about seven chants, he suddenly changed his mind and was very obedient. He ate his food and did exactly as told, so that we would not be late for school.

Prayer and surrender unto His Holiness (H.H.) Dr. Jayant Athavale, Goddess Durgadevi and Lord Hanuman resulting being able to chant* well

    Recently, I was very tired and was not able to chant well (that is, chanting that is done with spiritual emotion, fighting spirit and concentration). At one time during that period, while doing aarti (ritual of waving of lit lamps), I prayed with desperation to H.H. Dr. Athavale to give me strength and to take care of me. While singing the hymn 'Jyot se jyot jagao', I was in tears, and felt as if I was a small baby with out-stretched arms, lying in surrender at His feet. Suddenly, I saw Sri Durgadevi smiling at me, just as a mother smiles at her little baby. The next moment, I saw H.H. Dr. Athavale’s feet, which were all blue. After the aarti was over, I was doing the vastu chant (chanting done for the purification of the house) in the bedroom. I prayed to Lord Hanuman that just as He got a seat at Lord Rama's feet, I also wish to get a seat at H.H. Dr. Athavale’s feet. At that moment, Lord Hanuman transformed into H.H. Dr. Athavale in the photo and I saw that it was shining blue light. After that, I was able to chant very deeply for the rest of the day.
