Hi everyone,

So I have heard about bhutas, pretas, rakshasas and other spirit beings.

My question is 2 fold:

1. How does a person protect against them?

2. How do they "fit" in lieu of the Advaita Vedanta viewpoint?

It is strange that as everything (in it's ultimate nature) is Brahman, why do these beings exist?

Thanks & Hari OM TAT SAT
