Conclusion
Parmeshwar Aadi Ganapati has created 108 forms of gana and 14 forms of spirit yoni for human beings. Ishwar Vishnu descends all Gana into the human body and their lives to give them happiness and sorrow as per their deeds. Ishwar Brahma descends all spirit yoni into the human body to give them unique characteristics and behaviour as per their past deeds.
Every Gana has specific keys to enter the human body. Every Gana is associated with a specific emotion and desire; whenever a human experience a specific emotion or desire, the Gana related to that emotion or desire can descend into the human body. If a human is not able to experience a particular emotion or desire, the Gana related to that emotion or desire cannot enter the human body.
Whenever a human being is unable to control a particular emotion or desire, the Ganas related to that emotion or desire definitely descend into that human being and compel him to behave abnormally and mentally, which is known as Bhoot-Badha. If a human being experiences Bhoot-Badha, it means that some demonic Ganas descend into that human being and control their mind and body and compel them to do some particular negative or criminal activities.
To recover from Bhoot-Badha, there is only one remedy, and that is to engage in some other positive or religious activities to eliminate the negative emotions or desires and make those demonic Ganas uncomfortable from constantly staying in the body.
Humans can perform certain tantric rituals to create that particular emotion or desire in their minds so as to invite specific Ganas into their bodies. Tantric rituals help humans to invite evil spirits within their body to do some evil work. Humans who do not have enough evil guts inside them always perform some tantric rituals to get additional power of evil spirits to do some evil work.
Ishwar Vishnu blocks the evil emotions or desires within the human mind to keep the evil spirits away from those who follow humanity and dignity.
