Modern clairvoyants get their powers from ghosts or inhabitants of lower planets called asuras. Therefore, we can see that the life style of modern clairvoyants is no way different from the life style of ordinary people. All of them are under the influence of the gunas of ignorance and passion with respective habits and consciousness. Passion makes them have personal interests and ignorance makes them lie and do violence to satisfy these interests. A modern clairvoyant makes the best efforts for anyone who has got in his/her hands to feel the constant need for his/her services like a drug addict. At first, to get one proved in their powers, they very often make such person free from suffering and later entail new troubles for a person to repeatedly resort to them and be dependent on them. It becomes possible because society allows clairvoyants to live a secular life.

Brahmanas lived ascetic lives and the state of their minds was the proper one for religious people. As mentioned above, such life style allowed to become free from the impact of lower gunas of the material nature which in turn was the guarantee for their honesty and impartiality. The Aryan society required a very pious behavior from clairvoyants (priests). Those with superhuman powers but with low inclinations were expelled by society as dangerous persons bringing troubles. As a rule, such persons became “ornaments” of the demon society. The Mahabharata contains an interesting episode relating to this topic. Prior to the frequently mentioned battle between the Pandavas and Duryodhana, the latter unexpectedly faced some strange personalities from the lower planets (demons). At that time Duryodhana began to doubt the correctness of his behavior and right then they came up to him and said, “Do you think it is your battle with the Pandavas? No, you are mistaken. It is our battle with demigods for the power over this planet. We are very powerful and you will win under our auspices. Go and fight coolly”. Believing in their prophesy, Duryodhana fought until the last minute with confidence in his victory. When his mates came to him and told that the battle had been lost and there would be no sense to resist any more, he laughed in his mind and thought that they simply did not know things which were known to him. Similarly, for instance, Adolf Hitler, deceived by clairvoyants, believed up to the end in the prophesy they had made to him, but the result was ruination of Europe and his burnt body instead. A typical clairvoyant, therefore, brings anxiety in society (for instance, there was the prophesy from the most “reputable” astrologers that Britain in 1997 was to go under water), but a brahmana, on the contrary, brings appeasement.

Brahmanas’ advices always neutralized conflicts and promoted peace in society. They left their ascesis, came to the community in order to take out ordinary people from the influence of passion and ignorance and to validate virtue because brahmanas’ hearts were free from envy. That is why it is very important what powers are used by clairvoyants who rule human lives. This factor governs the destiny of an individual person, a nation and a country in general. Brahmanas were the source of virtue for society. No virtue can be distributed by one who is impure. The “prophesy” of such person is devaluated as it is not supported by his own experience and consequently is not able to assert anyone in virtue. The other important thing was that brahmanas did not strive for power. If society did not need them, they did not interfere in community affairs.

Thus, the Aryan society was headed by brahmanas. They were true religious persons having elevated pious qualities, knowledge and mystique powers. Their duties were to exercise ascesis to keep the purity of the body, mind and consciousness. Possessing elevated mentality, they developed incredible power (it is called the same way, brahma-teja, “brahmana’s power”) which was used only to ensure the connection of society with God. The Aryan culture categorically forbade people with impure consciousness (impure habits) to study the Vedas. Nowadays it is thought that brahmanas did so because of their arrogance. But it was not the case. Study of the Vedic literature by persons with sinful inclinations was forbidden in order not to let them speculate on this knowledge to excuse their sinful inclinations. It is said that people approach the divine knowledge out of the three motives:
