While
visiting
Assam,
one
hears
many
stories
about
the
magic
tricks
performed
by
Tantrikas
in
Mayong.
In
which
people
disappear,
men
fly
in
the
air,
dead
animals
are
revived,
etc
are
some
popular
ones.
Note-
The
people
here
have
stopped
doing
art
magic
for
a
long
time.
If
Puranas
are
to
be
believed,
along
with
Assam,
the
name
of
Mayong
has
been
mentioned
in
the
Mahabharata.
There
is
information
about
the
use
of
magical
powers
by
Ghatotkacha
in
the
battle
of
Mahabharata.
Looking
at
the
sword
and
other
pieces
of
equipment
found
here
during
archaeological
excavations,
it
is
believed
that
the
practice
of
human
sacrifice
was
also
being
followed
here.
It
is
believed
that
the
magical
powers
of
the
people
of
Mayong
saved
Assam
from
being
taken
over
by
the
Mughals.
This
has
been
discussed
in
the
chronicle
written
by
Mirza
Muhammad
Kazim,
according
to
which
the
entire
army
of
one
lakh
Mughal
soldiers
disappeared
here.
If
the
local
elders
and
people
are
to
be
believed,
even
today
powerful
tantric
and
witches
take
shelter
in
the
forest
of
Mayong.
According
to
many
travellers
and
visitors,
the
people
here
have
been
witness
to
many
incidents
of
men
disappearing
into
the
air,
people
turning
into
animals,
or
animals
being
magically
domesticated.
Sorcery
is
traditionally
practised
in
Mayong
and
this
tradition
continues
from
generation
to
generation.
Now
most
of
the
people
here
do
perform
black
magic,
but
they
do
cure
some
diseases
and
solve
life
problems
with
their
magical
knowledge
and
for
this,
they
use
different
mantras.
Narenger
Mantra,
and
Tez
Rakhwa
Mantra,
are
commonly
used
by
practitioners.
Those
who
have
knowledge
of
mantras
remove
the
obstacles
and
physical
pain
of
people.
Now
the
tools
and
equipment,
used
in
those
magical
acts,
are
kept
in
a
museum
in
Mayong,
which
people
can
see.
