As a child, my dadi would tell me not to whistle in the night because whistling would attract dangerous snakes that roamed around in the darkness. I was told not to cut my nails after dark, to not enter temples during my periods and to stay away from black cats. But when as a 15 year old I whistled long into the night, no snakes turned up. Instead my Dad turned up with a strict tone warning me that he’d throw me out of the house if I didn’t sleep and let him sleep in silence. I learned to love black cats, entered the gurudwara during my periods and I have always remembered to cut nails only in the night
By experimenting with truth I started observing the irrationality in many beliefs like astrology or numerology of which I used to be a fan of back in my college days. I knew one uncle who would always make investments if the name of the company was equal to 9 as per numerology. Sadly, I have never seen any of these investments succeed even after he did puja after puja and prayed to Goddess Lakshmi day and night.

 These simple experiments can often help us act in line with the need of the moment.  This is especially true when we begin to start thinking of how to invest money. But sometimes we need an expert to help us find answers. Where does one look for solutions to those essential questions that arise in our mind about investing in the right place for it to grow with vigor.

  5. I do agree with you. I don't really take things too seriously about those superstitions. Unless about not entering the temple during our period time. Because I used to live in Bali, which is known as an island which has many sacred places and temples. And local woman who entered the sacred place on their period time (people say) that the ancestor spirits would follow them around until they make some kind of apology ritual. ._.
    Anw, nice post ^^

  8. I couldn't agree more. This is very rampant when you live in a provincial place. Lots of beliefs being taught during childhood days which mostly no proof. I used to believe that black cats are monsters and any animals with red eyes are devils. But I guess it is slowly changing, almost everything is digital nowadays. Beliefs are not yet dead though.
