Vashikaran is a term used to refer to the secret art of Indian astrology, according to which some rituals and mantras are done to control someone's mind, situation, soul, or even an animal. It is mostly used for attracting love, but it can also be used for other purposes, such as career, finance, health, or revenge. Vashikaran is derived from the Sanskrit words vash (control) and karan (doing). It is also known as sammohan, akarshan, or mohini vidya.
