She was safe from the evil eye

The belief in the evil eye is very deep in India. People here apply black marks and hang lemon-chilies, and other amulets to protect children and new houses from the evil eye. There are many stories and traditions about the evil eye in Indian culture, such as removing the effect of the evil eye.

  
The best or closest story I have read in English is “Curses, like chickens, come back home and settle down.”

In our country, some people hang an old shoe on the back of their trucks and newly built houses and write, “Buri Nazar Wale Tera Muh Kala." If we translate it into English, it sounds like “Any evil or jealous eye,” which will not affect the person being addressed but darken the person's face with the evil eye.

This expression is used in a protective context, a warning to the jealous person with the evil eye. However, I consider it a superstition. Now listen to the story of a woman I knew for years who was well educated, she was very hard working and intelligent, but she had a strange fear in her mind. In fact, she was too delusional and thought someone was behind anything that went against her plans.

She used to tell everyone that one should always be careful to avoid the evil eye. People asked her if she believed this to be true. She said that she lived in this fear all the time because Vastu Shastra also describes the symptoms and remedies of the evil eye. When a person is affected by the evil eye, problems like stress, diseases, and family disputes arise in his life. Its symptoms include fatigue, frequent illness, and interruptions at work.

She also gave her own example time and again of how her own paintings, which were doing well in local galleries, stopped selling due to the evil eye of her friend to the extent that with a misconception that ever since her friend came to that gallery and praised her paintings, her paintings stopped selling. She even believed that she felt an effect of jealousy in her voice. After that, the color of her paintings started fading, and gradually her admirers decreased, and the gallery owner gave her a notice to quit the space.

After that, she made a lot of effort and took the help of talismans, etc. For her, the evil eye was a serious matter, and she thought that a person affected by the evil eye faces mental and physical problems and only special remedies and practices can save them to avoid the evil eye effects.

You will be surprised to know that in our country, occultists suggest different ways to avoid the evil eye, like taking a bath in a specific way, using the hairs of different animals in a talisman, hanging lemon and chili, which is a common sight in front of homes, in cars, and even in modern business houses, besides chanting mantras. You can hear recorded mantras chanting in the houses and businesses to keep them safe from the evil eye.

When that lady did the same as she consulted a tantra practitioner who gave her a talisman, her paintings started selling again. Naturally, her belief in the effect of the evil eye increased further as she started convincing everyone suffering from anything.

I believe the evil eye is nothing but just a superstition. It is all in our minds. In my opinion, instead of believing in superstitions, we should live our lives with positivity and look at the reason behind our failure.
