Sister-in-law of T. V. Subramania Iyer was a victim of an attack by brahma rakshas and for ten years she was acting in an uncontrollable and unpredictable manner shouting, crying, beating etc. They tried all mantras, tantra and poojas without any benefit. Ultimately, when she became emaciated almost like a dead body, she was brought to Swamiji. He called for some haldi roots, brushed them against his own breast and asked Subramania Iyer to grind them to a paste and apply all over her body. After half an hour the girl, who had been like log, woke up with loud sound and shouted for food! All her bad behaviour had gone away. She became normal in due course.
