A news article in recent Fiji newspapers (attached below) should be of concern to all. This is not a problem for our Fiji, but it is an epidermic in all parts of the world, all cultures where people have less formal education. Fiji Indians (all over the world) are relatively well educated, yet our infatuation with Ojhas is second to none. That is a great concern.
Why would people go to a Ojha or to other people claiming to have superior powers of healing and claiming to have the ability to change your destiny ?
All religious scriptures are very clear - only YOU have the power to alter your destiny. Only YOU can make youself happy. If you are getting happiness from other sources then that period of happiness will be limited and short, after that you will feel unhappy again.
This is an excerpt from The Ramayan ....
दो0-जे परिहरि हरि हर चरन भजहिं भूतगन घोर।
तेहि कइ गति मोहि देउ बिधि जौं जननी मत मोर।।2/167।।
Je Parihari Hari Har Charan, Bhajahi Bhootgan Ghor
Tehi Kai Gati Mohi Deu Bidhi, Jo Janini mat mor !
Bharat ji ka gati par bichaar kare. Maata Kekei ne Praan-piyare bhai Ram, Mata Sita, Bhai Latchman ko bun bhej diya. Pita ji ka dehaant ho gaya. Ye sab kewal Bharat to Raja banane ke liye ! Sabhi log sandeh ki nazar se unhe dekhte hay ki kahi Bharat ka koi haath to nahi ?
Kaushalya mata ke gord mein ro raha hay, aansoo bah rahe hay, aur kahta hay ki he maa, jo kuch kutil Kekei ne kiya us mein mera koi haath nahi hay. Agar mera koi sambandh ho is shaadish mein, to Bidhi (Brahma) mujhe wo saza de, dand de, dukh de, jo un logo ko milta hay jo Prabhu (Hari Har) ko chord (parihari) kar Bhoot, Pisaach, Ojha mein biswaas karte hay !
Us pita ke maansik haalat (mental condition) kya hoga jo apni jawaan beti ko ek Ojha ke paas raat bhar chord de ?
Jo dukhi hote hay, bahut dino se bimaar hote hay, pariwaar mein jhagda jhanjhat hota ho, Pati-Patni mein bichord ho raha ho, Bacche baat nahi sun rahe ho - apni man maani kar rahe ho - aise deen, dukhi, besahare, tadapte log Ojha ke paas jaate hay. Jald hi parinaam chahte hay - quick fix !
THEY do not force us to go to them - we choose to go to them ! WE have to change !
Sukh mein Prabhu ko yaad karo, dukh mein Wahi aap ka sahara banega.
Apne pariwaar mein (Dada, Aja, Aji), gao (village) mein, Mandali mein - kisi gyani ke saath satsangh kar. Apne baccho ke liye, naati, pooto ke liye samay nikaaliye - un ko achi achi kahani bataaiye !
Laugh Loudly ! Enjoy Life !
Muskuraate Raho !

Fijian Witchdoctors, Priests Facing Rape Charges On The Rise
SUVA – A witch doctor is under police investigation for allegedly
raping a sick girl who was taken to him for healing by her parents.
Police said it was not the first such case that had happened, as some
witchdoctors and priests had been charged within the last month for
similar incidents.
The alleged incident happened at Cunningham Road in Suva last month
and the girl’s parents reported the matter to police.
Police spokesman Inspector Atunaisa Sokomuri said the witchdoctor told
the girl’s parents to leave her with him that day and to pick her up
the next day. “The girl’s parents left her with the witchdoctor and
went away,” he said.
Insp Sokomuri said when the girl’s parents returned for her the next
day, she complained to them that she was raped.
The matter was then reported to police.
“We want to remind people that there are medical doctors out there and
sick people should be taken to them for a check-up instead of a
witchdoctor,” Insp Sokomuri said.
“Police have received reports of other similar cases before and we
have charged a few people for rape.”
Insp Sokomuri said some witchdoctors and priests were charged within
the last month for allegedly raping girls on the pretext of healing
their sickness.
He said it was sad that people opted to go to a witchdoctor instead of
a medical doctor for a check-up and to have their sickness cured.
