Salutations, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Salutations, son.
Disciple:
Gurudev, we have heard many things about fairies (Paris) since we were children. We've heard good and bad stories alike. But as we grow older, we still hear many conversations about them. What do you have to say about fairies?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Look, fairy practice (Pari Sadhana) is a spiritual discipline. Many people do it. They usually reside in jungles or places where there are plenty of fruits and flowers. They need food, after all. That is why they prefer staying in places where flowers bloom and fruits are abundant. Generally, they live in the crevices of hills and mountains; they don't really like coming to human settlements. You might have seen news lately that many fairies have been spotted in West Bengal and East Bengal, often seen holding a flute. People have shown me these sightings; we've seen them recently.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Fairies are lovers of beauty. They love children very much and keep a sharp eye on them. You'll notice they often carry a particular kind of flute; they love flutes and play them. Many people have heard their music. However, they don't stay out late into the night. They emerge early in the evening and retreat soon after. They avoid the deep night because many practitioners are trying to capture them through rituals (Tantra) and chanting (Japa). Fairies can be restless.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I have seen some practitioners who want to keep a fairy as a "wife" because they believe fairies can provide them with money and material wealth. That's why many seekers want a fairy as a wife, or sometimes as a sister. But trying to keep one as a wife is problematic; a practitioner usually doesn't last long in such a situation. It's nearly impossible to live a domestic life with a fairy. They have two wings on their backs which they use to fly like birds. They are peace-loving beings and prefer living in tranquility.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
One more thing you might have noticedâin sweet shops, after 11:00 PM, they remove all the old sweets and clean everything thoroughly with water. They then arrange fresh, new sweetsânot leftovers or broken ones. This is because of a deep-rooted belief that fairies love sweets and come to eat them at night.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Unfortunately, I once saw a young girl who was very ill and unlikely to survive. I asked her father, "Did you ever take this child to a sweet shop around 11:00 PM?" At first, he couldn't remember, but then he realized, "Yes, that did happen once." I told him that was the day a fairy "touched" her. When a fairy touches a child, their health declines because the fairy wants the child to come away with them. Their desire is to take the child.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I asked again, "Are you sure you took her to a sweet shop?" Eventually, he admitted they had gone. The damage was done. Sweet shop owners have a firm belief; you'll see they light incense after arranging the sweets and then leave the shop. They don't stay inside. They believe if humans are present, the fairies won't come to eat. So, they set everything up and leave.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
To the shopkeeper, it's a good thing if a fairy eats their sweets; they believe it benefits their business. But if a customer brings a child there during that time, the fairies might "tag" the child. I had to work very hard to heal that girl in Behala who had been "caught" by a fairy. My firm belief was that she was touched while the fairies were there for the sweets.
Disciple:
So, Gurudev, do fairies always do good, or can they do bad as well?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
No, it's both. I haven't seen them do much "evil" intentionally, but for children, it is extremely harmful. It is not good for children at all.
Disciple:
You mentioned that many practitioners seek them. Do the fairies themselves have any desires?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
No, they are independent spirits. They wander, eat fruits, and smell the flowers. They live where nature is abundant.
Disciple:
We often hear stories about fairies descending from the sky.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes on TVâfairies flying in the sky with flutes. This has been seen in India and West Bengal within the last year or so.
Disciple:
What about "Pari Tantra" (Fairy Tantra)?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Many people practice this. They go to jungles to perform rituals to appease or summon fairies. Some manage to "tame" them and try to live with them, though as I said, they aren't meant for domestic life. Pari Sadhana is a significant practice, but as you mentioned, there are "lower-level" practices as well.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
There are practices like Dakini Vidya, Yogini Vidya, and Barini Vidya. These are dangerous and harmful. Usually, if someone performs these, their family life is destroyed. These are considered "low-tier" Tantra. "High-tier" Tantra is differentâit is practiced in places like Jnanganj, where even the gods cannot easily go.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
In those high realms, beings live for 1,000, 2,000, or even 3,000 years. Ordinary laws don't apply there. Pari Sadhana is low-tier compared to that. The reason it's considered low is because it's often driven by "Charvaka" (materialistic) desiresâpeople wanting wealth or a "companion."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
However, Pari Sadhana is slightly "cleaner" than Dakini or Yogini practices because it doesn't involve meat or wine; it involves fruits and flowers. But it is still not a "high-path" practice. It is driven by worldly demands. High-path seekers are different; they harness immense power from within their bodies. In Jnanganj, there is no old age, no disease, and no death. Whatever state you enter in, you remain in. It's as if time stands still.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Currently, the highest practice being pursued is Surya Sadhana (Sun Practice)âthe aim to reach the Sun in one's physical body. It involves a mix of spiritual science and ancient knowledge. Those are high-level seekers. Pari Sadhana is trivial compared to them.
Disciple:
Today, Gurudev has enlightened us further on what we knew about fairies since childhood. That's all for today's video. We will return with new topics. Salutations, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Blessings, son.

Spiritual Insight
Guru Shyama Khyapa provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of fairies (Paris) and the practice of Pari Sadhana. He explains that while fairies are beautiful, peace-loving beings who dwell in nature, their interaction with humansâespecially childrenâcan be harmful. He distinguishes between low-tier practices like Pari Sadhana (driven by material desires) and high-tier spiritual disciplines practiced in mystical realms like Jnanganj, where the laws of aging and death do not apply. This conversation reminds seekers to aspire toward the highest spiritual paths rather than getting entangled in worldly supernatural pursuits.
