Hinduism also believes in this concept and states it is curable and details of exorcism ceremony may be found in the Atharva Veda, one of the ancient Religious text of the Hindus.
In general, the phenomena of possession is faced by people with not too strong a mind and will power.
General instructions to avoid this malady is have Faith, whatever it might be ;avoid visiting graveyards,burning ghats at dusk or in the night alone;flush out body waste like nails,hairs in water;keep homes clean and neat and pray;special prayers and ceremonies are to be conducted.
Essential difference from other Religions is that Devil is not given the power to challenge Reality(Not God).Ultimate Reality includes Devil/Demons as well, for according to Indian Philosophy every thing is Natural and has a place in the scheme of Things in the Universe.
Possession is the result of one’s past actions; it may be in the last lives for action, being a form of energy can not be created or destroyed and every action produces an equal and opposite reaction.
Best way to lead a trouble free life is to synchronise thoughts, words and deeds and never to hurt any body or any thing in the Universe
