Almost all of us are affected by problems in our life where the root
cause is due to departed ancestors' subtle bodies. This type of
spiritual problem affects us regardless of race, cultural background
or social status. While this is a spiritual problem, it can manifest
in many different ways in our day-to-day lives. In some cases, people
have gone through years of suffering only to find out that it could
have been alleviated in a few days. The alleviation would only have
come about if they knew the root cause, the remedy and if they had the
required know-how to put it into practice.
