This is very unfortunate and pathetic.I think the lady was a mentally disabled .Due to mothers madness the innocent children died.
This is more a superstition than mental disability. I have seen many Devi Jagran events. So many women and some times men also act as if Devi has entered them. Their behavior is very weird. This woman also believed that the fire would extinguish the evil spirits and no harm will be done. It is also worth noticing that others also did nothing to prevent her from setting fire to herself and her daughters.
How can a God posess? Its something I donot understand....I believe its a different power.
This is a psychological problem. This is a case of split personality. An individual feels that he is something else. The individual almost loses own personality and lives someone else. This is something than a psychologist can explain better.
