Unless we are willing ...

Hi

Mohotty attained his supernormal self-control by praying to Kata-ragama, and unless we are willing to accept the existence of Katara-gama, Mohotty's abilities seem better explained by his deep and abiding belief that he was divinely protected.

Does it mean "but if we do not accept the existence of Kataragama" ....

Yes, it does, newguest. If you remove that part, the rest of the sentence tells what happens or will happen. By adding it, you are including a condition, a way to "escape" the fate included on the rest of the sentence.
