I'm Nikhil Gunjal from Ghatkopar, Mumbai, and I'm really worried because for the past two years, I've been dealing with what I believe are effects of black magic. It feels like someone is harming my body, and it's really frustrating not being able to identify who might be doing this. I'm convinced it's something external causing harm and even have proof to support my concerns. Can you offer any guidance or suggest what steps I can take to address this situation?
