Comment on Superstitions and Blind Beliefs by Sanjay M

Quite an impressive collection!

Wondering about some things..

4. If crossed by a (Brahmin) widow with shaved head, a bad omen.

– there is a very interesting story of Akbar and Birbal. A person was seen as unlucky by all. One day Akbar happened to see this person first thing in the morning, and lots of things went wrong for him that day. Later on, Akbar orders that such an unlucky fellow should be beheaded. That poor man comes running to Birbal for help. Then Birbal later tells Akbar, ‘first you should be executed?’. “Why??” asked the emperor, “he caused so much of bad luck to me!!”. Then Akbar replies – “seeing your face, this man is going to face death, how unlucky you must be for him then!” The emperor laughs and gives him some gold coins instead

Another superstition…

If lizard falls…
ii) stomach(of women) – indicates that soon a child is going to be born

- what’s so bad about this??

In general, shouldn’t our whole GOAL of life to be moving from conditioned mind to unconditioned? These superstitions do seem to be adding more ‘mental associations’ (conditioning) maybe

೩. ಅಜ್ಜಿಗೆ ಅರಿವೇ ಚಿಂತೆ ಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಮದುವೆ ಚಿಂತೆ.
೪. ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಮೇಲೆ ಅಸೆ, ನೆಂಟರ ಮೇಲೆ ಪ್ರೀತಿ.
೫. ಅಂಬಲಿ ಕುಡಿಯುವವನಿಗೆ ಮಿಸೆ ತಿಕ್ಕುವನೊಬ್ಬ.
೬. ಅಂತು ಇಂತೂ ಕುಂತಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಎಂಟು ರಾಜ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ.
೭. ಅತ್ತೆಗೊಂದು ಕಾಲ; ಸೊಸೆಗೊಂದು ಕಾಲ.
೮. ಆಸೆಯೇ ದುಃಖಕ್ಕೆ ಮೂಲ.
೯. ಬೆಕ್ಕು ಕಣ್ಣು ಮುಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡು ಹಾಲು ಕುಡಿದಂತೆ.
೧೦. ಬೇಲಿನೆ ಎದ್ದು ಹೊಲ ಮೆದರೆ ಹೇಗೆ ?
೧೧. ಭಂಗಿ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಹೆಂಡಕುಡುಕ ಪೂಜಾರಿ.
೧೨. ಚೇಳಿಗೆ ಪಾರುಪತ್ಯ ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಹಾಗೆ.
೧೩. ಚಿಂತೆ ಇಲ್ಲದವನಿಗೆ ಸಂತೆಯಲ್ಲೂ ನಿದ್ದೆ.
೧೪. ಹುಚ್ಚುಮುಂಡೆ ಮದುವೇಲಿ ,ಉಂಡವನೇ ಜಾಣಾ .
