The Ravana Sutras

A collection of prayer scrolls and ritual techniques from ancient India, the Ravana Sutras were used by worshippers of the rakshasa, demons who seek to trap mankind within Maya, the Great Illusion of the world. The diligent practitioner of Hinduism knows that by transcending this Great Illusion—by liberating the self from the concerns of the ego and the world—one can achieve enlightenment. But throughout history, there have been those who sought out the rakshasa, seeking greater pleasure and wealth in this world, regardless of how temporary or false. Over the centuries, the secrets wrested from these rakshasa have been compiled into the Ravana Sutras, a collection of Hindu-based spells of illusion and falsehood.
The best-known spells of the Sutras include the Maya-Puja, considered the most wicked prayer in the Sutras, for it strengthens the Maya world-illusion and allows a mortal to mimic the rakshasa’s power to craft falseness. The practice of World-Prana teaches the practitioner to breathe in the illusory world around him, to seem to be part of that world. Another spell, simply called Unseen and Unholy, teaches the rakshasa-beloved to transcend the simple wickedness of the world with his own, mightier wickedness, seeming to vanish entirely from the Maya. Finally, the practitioner may grant another the True Sight, whispering the blasphemies of the Ravana-cults backwards and stripping away the Maya from the mind of a foe. Though this is the ultimate goal of spiritual practice, it is too much, too soon, flooding the mind with all the understanding that is supposed to be gained through slow enlightenment, overwhelming the mind of those unfortunate enough to experience it.
