Hindu: There are many demons in Hindu mythology, demons capable of possessing people. Although Hindu exorcism rituals are written in the Veda (sacred texts), exorcisms are rare. When they do occur, Hindu exorcists perform rituals to scare and drive out the demons. These rituals include burning cow or pig excrement,8 reciting prayers, burning incense, dancing while wearing scary masks, sprinkling holy water, and offering sweets to God.

Casting Out the Demon

“The reality of exorcism is far from how Hollywood portrays it…. Exorcism is more of a journey and not a one-shot deal where if the exorcist fails to cast out the demon then evil has somehow won the day…. Sometimes it’s said that people can become liberated right away, but for the most part when you are dealing with what exorcists call a full demonic possession, then it can talk a long time, sometimes years.”—Matt Baglio is a reporter and author of The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist (Doubleday, 2009).
