'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Yênê, Angânta}}'''. The meaning of the ''Angânta Yênê'' is known to all India. It is the action of an ''elemental (bhût''), who, drawn into the sensitive and passive body of a medium, takes possession of it. In other words, ''angânta '' ''vênê'' means literally “obsession”. The Hindus dread such a calamity now as strongly as they did thousands of years ago. “No Hindu, Tibetan, or Sinhalese, unless of the lowest caste and intelligence, can see, without a shudder of horror, the signs of ‘mediumship’ manifest themselves in a member of his family, or without saying, as a Christian would do now, ‘ he hath the devil’. This ‘gift, blessing, and holy mission’, so called in England and America. is, among the older peoples, in the cradle‐lands of our race, where longer experience than ours has taught them more spiritual wisdom, regarded as a dire misfortune.” | '''{{Style S-Small capitals|Yênê, Angânta}}'''.
