Every Tuesday, my mother dresses in red, sits near our home temple, and we play bhajans of Baveli Mata, a demigoddess believed to be a root form of Kalimata. During this time, she enters a calm spiritual state known as Mata ki Choki. Three different priests, without us saying anything, independently told us that she receives Choki, and astrologers have confirmed that, based on her grahas (planetary alignments), she’s naturally inclined toward such experiences. Unlike many cases we’ve seen — where people either fake possession or are overtaken by aggressive spirits, often behaving violently, shouting, or shaking uncontrollably — my mother remains composed and peaceful. Her movements are gentle, and her words during Choki are calm yet astonishingly accurate. She has described deeply personal struggles, including mine, without ever being told, and has predicted future events and exam scores with great precision. This has always felt powerful and unusual to us, especially since there have been instances in the past where people have done black magic on our family — a separate issue, but one that adds weight to these experiences. Still, I remain confused. Once, when I asked during Choki, “Who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead?”, the response was, “Whoever you believe it is,” which felt vague and non-absolute. What adds to my confusion is her reaction to my spiritual efforts: when I tell her I want to attend Mangal Aarti at 4 a.m., she becomes irritated or even aggressive, asking why I need to go so early. Yet, when I go for a run at 4 a.m., she shows no resistance at all — she calmly supports me and even offers me clothes for it. This makes me wonder: is it truly a demigoddess entering her, or could it be a lower spirit disguising itself as divine and subtly resisting anything that leads to pure devotion?

Do you have Lord Sri Krishna deity In your home temple or a picture?
Show her directly the picture or Photo and ask who is HE rather than asking who is Supreme Personality of Godhead. Because, If she is really goddess Kali... ( as per whatever you are saying_) She will consider Devon ke dev Mahadev as Godhead as she is the wife of him. Now that is what I felt.
"Whoever you believe it is" That is true ofcourse, you believe Krishna is Supreme Personality of Godhead so she indirectly answered.
To test that is it is lower entity that is coming into her. Just bring Bhagwad gita As it is book and place it next to her and chant Mahamantra when she is having that phase..Loudly. If She thinks that is absurd and throws it out. or rejects it. and Cannot hear......... to chanting of Mahamantra. Then for sure it is a lower spirit ( some dhusth aatma entering her.).
If you can at that time get Narsimha bhagwan ka amulet and tie to her neck or her right hand.. from temple ( ask the priest) they give you. Get that tie it to her when she is all normal. If she is rejecting that also and throwing it out it means surely dushta shakti.
Do you have Tulasi Plant at your home.? How is it growing. If at all there is a black magic done and if there is any bad aatma entering the home.. the first sign you see is that the Tulasi plant dries up.
I understand your situation and confusion. If we see these kind of things happening even in the neighbourhood, it is difficult to comprehend. In your case, it is happening at home.
I agree with Bharat prabhu - do not delve into who is coming and guuiding your mother. It is obvious that person cannot guide you spiritually.
REst assured, Krsna is the supreme personality of godhead and will remain so. Do your sadhana with utmost sincerity. Always be loving and respectful towards your mother.
Stay on neutral topics, do not discuss spirituality much with her - till you become firmed up and knowledgeable enough to ansewr her questions, or counter her views.

This question is not very important. Because whatever the answer be, it will only affect your disposition towards your mother. Your relationship with your mother is certainly important. But all relationships should be in harmony with our relationship or devotion to Sri Krsna. So it may be better to keep that harmony more than finding out what is the cause of her behaviour.
Because this ventures into realm of tantrics, black magic etc and there are too many psuedo priests who will come up with variety of ideas to achieve their own selfish goals. This better be avoided.
Instead continue to maintain harmony with mother without paying too much attention to these bahaviour and gradually it will likely subside. Focus on your own practice of devotion to Sri Krishna by chanting Hare Krishna Maha mantra. These are just suggestions.
Actually i asked this to my spritual facilitator and he said the same
I love my mother, atleast she allows me to go to temple on sundays and chant rounds...she tells to recite hanuman chalisa every day, unlike my friends mother ...i was just concerned for her...but ill just focus of my bhakti..cuz im no so advanced yet...ill keep that in mind what you have said right now
Yes your concern is natural & valid. But right now you may not be capable of acting upon that concern. After a few years of practice of devotional service to Sri Krsna, by chanting, reading books of Srila Prabhupada, hearing Bhagavad Gita & Bhagavatam from sernior devotees, you will get more clarity about Krsna consciousness and other aspects of life also. You will be a lot more capable of acting such concerns at that stage.

If all these done and checked .. you can be sure.
