Kirant Mundhum Paranormal Belief

Kirant Mundhum Paranormal Belief is based on Hindu paranormal belief. It is believed in the existence of ghosts and spirits as these are considered to be poor souls who because of some previous curse or terrible sin such as suicide are suspended in the between what is considered the higher worlds and earth.

It is considered that “good spirits” are simply awaiting the completion of their punishment and will be released from this dimension while “evil spirits” will continue to be punished.

Kirant Mundhum belief is if one is good they are reincarnated to a higher orerd and if one is bad they are reincarnated to a lower order.

These evil spirits are believed to inhabit desolate places, empty buildings, ancient ruins, branches of tress and especially in grave yards.

The Kirant Mundhum paranormal belief is that evil spirits seek and bother people of impure minds and unclean habits.The good spirits are to be found near places where religious ceremonies are performed or religious discourses given. They do not cause harm and may help as required.

There are tantric practices that speak to the possibility of the transfer of a Jiva’s vital energy into a dead body in order to temporarily revive it for certain rituals. It is also believed that a suspended soul may be taken control of to perform magic to cause harm to others. It is also possible to drive away those possessed with these evil spirits by using magic and rituals.

The ancient text known as The Yajurveda contains hymns to exorcise evil spirits as well as to seek protection against evil spells.

Kirant Mundhum paranormal belief as with Hindu paranormal belief is that the spirit or soul which is the true self of every person called the atman is eternal.

The Kirant Mundhum Religion also known as the Kitati Mundhum and is the religion of the Kirat people of Nepal.

According to some scholars, such as Tom Woodhatch, it is a blend of animism, ancestor worship, Hinduism and Buddhism. Mundhum or Kiranti Veda (also known as Peylan) is the religious scripture and folk literature of the Kirat people of Nepal and is central to Kirat Mundhum. Mundhum means "the power of great strength" in the Kirati languages. The Mundhum covers many aspects of the Kirat culture, customs and traditions that existed before Vedic civilization in South Asia.
