Kamal Ghorui
Have you ever felt that each time you reveal your plans or share your achievements with certain people, you only attract negativity? Well, that is because of the evil eye, which may feel like an unexplained thing, but according to ancient beliefs, the evil eye is real, and it can lead to sudden losses, failures, conflicts, or unexplained sickness. Here’s all you need to know about this dosha.
Why does it happen?
According to ancient beliefs, there are times when we often attract negativity and fall prey to the evil eye (nazar dosha), which affects all spheres of health, growth, and progress. This usually happens due to their weak aura, which can affect the prana shakti by manifesting as unexplained fevers and headaches and may also make them cranky and weak. Here’s how you can ward off the effect of the evil eye.
How does it affect?
The evil eye, or “nazar,” happens where envy or ill feelings cast a negative energy, causing misfortune, fatigue, or setbacks. Here are some practical tips, rooted in Vedic and traditional remedies, that may create protective barriers to neutralize its effects and restore harmony.
Red Chilies Burn
Another simple remedy to remove nazar dosha is to take seven whole dried red chilies, circle them thrice over the child, then burn them outdoors. Check if the smoke is thick and rises with an odd odor; if so, nazar is removed. It is believed that this fiery remedy neutralizes Rahu’s malefic planetary position, purifies the aura, and balances pitta dosha that is related to digestive issues.
Salt and Mustard Seeds Ritual
This simple remedy can be done by taking a pinch of rock salt and yellow mustard seeds and rotating them seven times clockwise around the child’s head while chanting “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.” Once done, burn these two things and then discard the residue in flowing water to absorb negativity. Repeat this process weekly on Saturdays to protect auras long-term.
Kajal Black Dot
Ever wondered why some babies are applied a tiny kajal dot behind their ear or on the corner of the forehead? You can use a surma stick blessed with Hanuman Chalisa. Doing this often diverts jealousy and removes the evil eye, negativity, sudden accidents, and sickness. This remedy is aligned with the moon’s nurturing energy for robust immunity.
Coconut Upari
This is an age-old way to remove the evil eye by rotating a whole coconut seven times around the child, then cracking it at a crossroads or river. Coconut’s sattvic essence removes the dosha and heals the vibrations and restores vitality. It is advised to do this remedy on Tuesdays and pair it with Ganga jal and sprinkle it for holistic cleansing.
Black Thread
This is another popular remedy, which revolves around tying a black wool thread around the ankle or wrist, knotted thrice by chanting “Om Ram Rahuve Namah.” This thread is like a talisman, which is Saturn-aligned and is known to repel drishti, preventing recurrent fever, coughs, fatigue, or illness. It is best to consecrate the thread during Amavasya for enduring protection.
