A Russian member of the Hare Krsna ( ISKCON) named Purnamasi devi dasi told the story of when she was imprisoned by the KGB (during USSR times) for practicing and preaching Krishna Consciousness in the Soviet Union.
While she was in jail she would encourage other prisoners to chant Hare Krsna Maha mantra but the authorities tried to stop her in many ways including threatening to kill her. But nothing worked. So finally they did something very unusual. They brought a real witch to the prison to stop Purnamasi and deprogram her.
The witch arrived with her assistant and KGB officers. They tied Purnamasi to a chair and the witch and her assistant started hexing, doing passes, chanting spells, with their eyes rolled in trance. They were trying to infuse a dark creature into Purnamasi's body. She could sense it and all around became covered with fog. Realising she was coming under their control, she started chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra but this did not stop it, the creature was going inside. As she began to lose consciousness she chanted out loud the Narasimha mantra, but even that did not stop the creature. Finally, she started chanting Srila Prabhupada pranama mantra. Right away the witch came out of her trance and stopped all her activities. She then said to the KGB officers: "I'm leaving".
But they did not let her go, they ordered her to finish her job. The witch insisted: "No, I am leaving, I will not go on any longer!" "Why? What happened?" asked KGB officers. She told them: "You simply do not see, but I see: there is a very strict old man standing over there wagging his finger on me. I cannot do anything against him". This old man was Srila PRABHUPADA the Founder Acharya of ISKCON.
