My friends took me to a Temple and on reaching the temple, I kept rolling from inside to outside of the temple several times. I came to know of this incident after my friends told me about it. The wife of temple  Priest told us  that, I must buy incense sticks  for  puja  and  instructed me to  build a temple and  asked me to convince my parents to support me  and instructed  me to tell my parents to never  convert to Christianity.

With the chanting of his mantras, the Pujari also started beating me.  In the process, I had to undergo a great deal of pain.
