"Dhanteras has already been celebrated. You are far from achieving something due to someone's mistakes. There is a possibility that you might not see the next Diwali. Don't ignore the warnings. (Dhanteras aakar chali gayi. Kisi ki purani galti ke aabhaav se kuch prapti se door ho. Agli Diwali na mana sako. Chetavni ko nazar andaaz karne ke bajai gaur kiya karo)," the entry said.

The notes also mentioned about other souls accompanying the spirit of Lalit's father, who had died in 2007, and how those spirits are still yearning for salvation.

"Four souls are still wandering with me. If you improve yourself, these souls will be freed. You feel that by completing all the rituals in Haridwar, the souls achieve salvation. I am accompanied by the souls of others also," said the note written in Hindi on July 19, 2015.

The notes quoted Lalit's late father soul as saying that the souls of various late relatives of the extended Chundawat's family those of Sajjan Singh, Hira, Dayanand, Ganga Devi were accompanying him and longing for salvation. "
