It seems like a page from the Indian/Hindu culture - a spirit entering once
body - "plan chit style"

LUCKNOW: Its not the kind of thing that routine school assemblies witness.
On Wednesday, Lucknows prestigious Loreto Convent organised a date with Lord
Jesus Christ that led to students fainting and horrified parents asking what
the school up to?
The school principal, a dozen staff members and about 250 Class VIII to XII
girls were privy to the 'special' occult session that had a medium
transforming into Christ and blessing them. A dozen students fainted and a
couple needed medical attention. Most girls were either horrified or too
shocked to explain the phenomenon.
Principal Sister Monica on Saturday admitted some girls fainted during the
'holy experience'. "It is not unusual to be terrified when the Lord comes
before you. Even I was frightened," she said. The children were exposed to a
demonstration of a little-known Chandra Cult with its headquarters in
Krishnagar (West Bengal).
The cult is headed by Nobo Kumar Mandal, a rickshaw-puller patronised by
Father Sebastian Kuzhipala, a Catholic priest based in Murshidabad. Father
Sebastian and Sister Monica conducted the show at Loreto as Nobo Kumar served
as the medium to bring Ishu to heal and bless the gathering. Nobo Kumar
went around grunting and growling, making hissing sounds while 'inducing' Jesus
to enter his body.
"It is very painful when Jesus enters his body. That is why he was writhing
on the ground," explained Sister Monica.
During the ritual, Nobo started shuddering and collapsed. "I thought he was
dead and I also passed out," said a student.
"It looked like he had a massive heart attack...we all were so scared," said
another student.
