Ghatotkach: The Uninvited Judge

I was a massage therapist at Vashi Tunga Hotel in 2013. For the past six months I had been enjoying a comfortable life and free unlimited non-veg food. One day a new receptionist named Nikita joined. Her only job was to attend customer calls at the spa desk and record their appointments. But Nikita spent all her time searching for a new boyfriend for herself in the hotel. Eventually she started exchanging glances with Ravi, the male reception attendant in the hotel lobby, and they began finding excuses to look at each other.

When Nikita started repeatedly standing near the swimming pool outside the spa reception on the pretext of seeing Ravi, and even avoided attending the spa reception calls when the phone rang, the sense of justice inside me woke up. Earlier I found Nikita’s actions entertaining, but as soon as she began avoiding her duty, I started getting angry at her. Suddenly my mentality changed from a cheerful boy to a grumpy uncle. Earlier, seeing Nikita’s sensual actions also awakened sensuality in my mind, but now seeing those same actions made my blood boil, because Nikita was not performing her duty.

One day I scolded Nikita and told her, when a call comes, you as a receptionist should receive it. What you do the rest of the time does not matter to anyone. If you do not perform your duty, I will complain about you to the manager. She threatened that she would accuse me of harassing a woman. At that very moment I complained about her to the manager and stopped talking to Nikita. After that moment, since I did not talk to Nikita, I came to know nothing about her, but she resigned and left in the same month. One day I saw Nikita waiting for Ravi outside the hotel, and I felt happy that she had found Ravi. My anger toward Nikita was only because she was not answering the phone; when the reason no longer remained, the anger also disappeared. That day Nikita seemed as lovely to me as before.

Whenever I feel changes in my mentality, I ask Ganesh the reason for it. There is another mind inside me whose name is Ganesh.

Kiran: Earlier Nikita seemed lovely to me, then suddenly I started hating her, and now she seems lovely again. Why did this happen?
Ganesh: It happened because of Ghatotkach.

Kiran: What connection do I have with the Ghatotkach of the Mahabharata?
Ganesh: Ghatotkach did not exist only in the Mahabharata; he lives in every age, even in Kaliyuga.

Kiran: Did I meet some Ghatotkach?
Ganesh: You did not meet Ghatotkach, but you invited him. When we look into someone’s life, and their exhibition fetish inspires someone toward justice, Ghatotkach enters that person’s body and becomes active.

Kiran: But Ghatotkach is the gigantic son of Bhima and Hidimbi. How can he enter someone’s body?
Ganesh: Bhima is a divine being who delivers justice, and Hidimbi is a demonic being who possesses exhibition fetish. When justice and exhibition fetish confront each other, Ghatotkach is born.

Kiran: What is the meaning of Ghatotkach?
Ganesh: Ghatot means bald and kach means hair; that is, Ghatotkach means the hair of a bald person. When one person fights for exhibition fetish and another fights for justice, a judge awakens by watching them; that judge is Ghatotkach. In the fight of two people, a third person becomes the judge and keeps making himself bigger, and that is the identity of Ghatotkach.

Kiran: Ghatotkach had died because of the Vasavi Shakti, right? Then how did he become alive again?
Ganesh: Asuri beings and devils are immortal; they can never die. They can only become active or inactive. Self-reflection itself is the Vasavi Shakti. When someone does self-reflection, the Ghatotkach inside him leaves. Or when a person inspires Ghatotkach to do self-reflection, Ghatotkach leaves that person’s body. This is what is called the death of Ghatotkach.

Kiran: So had Ghatotkach entered inside me?
Ganesh: Yes, that is why you jumped in as a judge between Nikita and Ravi. You could have explained things to Nikita jokingly, but you became ready for direct battle only because of Ghatotkach. The Ghatotkach inside you scolded Nikita, and you started thinking that you had scolded someone in the workplace for the first time.

Kiran: Is Ghatotkach still inside me now?
Ganesh: As soon as the fight between two people ends, or it is stopped by the real judge, Ghatotkach leaves the body of that third person. As soon as Nikita left, the Ghatotkach inside you went away. But as soon as you again desire to become a judge between two other people, it will be an invitation for Ghatotkach, and he will enter your body without permission.

Kiran: Have all judges had Ghatotkach enter inside them?
Ganesh: Ghatotkach cannot enter the body of every judge. It is the duty of a judge to stop a fight and deliver justice. But when someone who has no such duty still tries to become a judge in other people’s fights for free, Ghatotkach enters that person’s body.

Conclusion: Parmeshwara First Ganapati has created 12 forms of Rakshas Gana on earth. The definition of the word “Rakshas” is “species of spirits who descend in the human body and support Satan to destroy Sanatan Dharma are called Rakshas Gana.” Marich, Subahu, Kalnemi, Tadka, Pootna, Duryodhana, Kansa, Shakuni, Kumbhakarna, Ghatotkacha, Barbarik, and Banasur; these are 12 forms of Rakshas Gana.

Species of spirits that descend into human bodies and unnecessarily participate in others' culture, fights, and conversations in order to take control are called Rakshas Ghatotkacha.
