I wanted to share my situation. I don't know what to do, where to go or whom to seek advice from. Long post.

NEED HELP

I'll share my story in steps. I live in Canada.

2023-2024: The Marriage

Till 2023, me and my family was doing very well. In 2023 my Sister -in- law got married. We sent a lot of money for her marriage, and 3 of us went to India for the marriage. As you can imagine it's a costly affair and we were able to earn enough( more of myself) to afford such things. Everything went fine and the new couple settled in. Arranged marriage by the way.

But things started to turn sour soon. The mother and sister in law of my SIL used to behave very badly with her, used to give her food that was not fresh. My SIL had health problems, her husband and family would eat without her and she was left to eat by herself later at night.

Things got to such a point that they would finally separate and court case ensued following a bitter divorce battle that is still going on today. The family in which my SIL got married to lost their Father/husband a while back. Later we came to know from the neighbours that everyone thought the mother and daughter together did something due to which the father/husband passed away. Anyways we were not coming to a conclusion on hearing this.

There was a bad incident the day when my father in law went to get my SIL back from her maikah. The SIL of my SIL hit my FIL in the chest very hard. He is a heart patient. The husband knew they were coming and deliberately was not present at home that day. The MIL and SIL of my SIL filed a false r*p case against my 70 year old frail FIL. Everything was as sour as it could be.

End of 2023- middle of 2025 : Downfall
I was in the media and entertainment industry for 22 years. My jobs have always been contracts and I never had any issues getting work. But from the end of 2023 my job and financial situation started getting worse. It was getting harder to get work. Money was getting harder to come by. Finally I lost my last job in June of 2025. And for the next 8 months I was unemployed. In that time I applied to over 5000 jobs uniquely. Nothing came by. Our savings and everything lost. There were hurdles in each and everything I did. One of my friends referred me to his company. It was a good one. I got an interview opportunity. Suddenly out of nowhere 1 week before the interview I got Laryngitis. I was unable to talk. I somehow managed to speak barely during the interview, but the hiring manager was seemingly upset with this situation and ended the call. I tried to start a small business, and approached people I knew. No one responded back. I started getting negative thoughts much much more that I could hardly recognize myself. In December of 2025, I, who doesn't believe in anything non-scientific, finally decided to do some online research and contacted an Ojha in Assam from Mayong village Sampraday. He took some money, did some puja and said that I should get a job soon. I had never done astrology. But through my Mother back home I found out about an astrologer from my Maternal uncles side who is also a MA Chinnamasta Sadhak. He looked at my chart and told me a few things to do and said that he would make my a MA Neel Saraswati Kavach. I am hoping to receive the Kavach this weekend. I finally found a job as a helicopter gear box cleaner in an aerospace company cleaning grease, oil and dirty materials from helicopter parts. Minimum wage. Example. I used to earn 70/hr before all this. Now I earn 19/hr. Enough to go hand to mouth.

My spouse : she is highly experienced in Aerospace. Previously even applying to one job with her resume she would get an interview call in a week and was able to secure the job. From 2023 end till now God knows how many times she has tried but her career is stuck exactly where she was. Even when she would get an interview and the hiring manager would say things like you are great and exactly what we are looking for... Nothing after that.

My FIL: Had 3 surgeries for various body parts after that incident. Health in decline.

My Mother : has a business and was doing well. But since that time her business has been suffering. Unable to generate revenue as she used to. She was not even involved in all of this.

2026 May: this month I told my Mom about everything. I didn't before because I don't want her to worry about anything as we live so far apart. She was on the speakerphone. One of our maids at home heard this. She said," Kala jadu hua hai". My mom said nothing like this happens. The maid said to do a test. Take 3 Sukha mirchi whole with stem attached. Do a head to toe circular motion like during Vivaha, 3 times and burn it either on fire or charcoal. If smell of chilli comes and we cough then nothing has happened. If not then something has happened. Me and my wife don't believe in all these. But still said let's try once. First we took one chilli and turned on the gas and put it on to see. Immediately from the smoke started coughing. Same tried with coal just one chilli. Same started to cough. So that means chillies were good and it is supposed to do what normally happens. Then we took 3 chillies stem included and did the 3 times turn on each of us. Lit up the charcoal and put the 3 at once on top of the charcoal. Heavy smoke started to rise. We put our faces on top of the smoke..... No cough, no smell of chilli...... NOTHING! Did the same again with my wife. Nothing again...How is this possible????

OK. My fingers are now tired. Lol. I have no idea what is going on. I have no idea what to do. I know there are people out there who will take money in the name of helping. Just because we live in Canada, people think ohhh hoo they are rich. When in fact we are actually in poverty right now. Lol.. Never in my life did I think we would come to a situation like this. I seriously have no idea what to do or whom to talk to. Whenever we can we have always tried to help people. Donated clothes and food. Never expected anything in return. Do puja everyday. I myself love MA Kali. I am from West Bengal.

Sorry for such a long post. If you read till the end then my sincerest Thank you. ❤️
Joy MA Kamakhya, Joy MA Tara, Joy MA Dakshinakali, Joy BhairavBaBa, Hat Har Mahadev 🙏❤️
