Buri Nazar

Buri Nazar [ evil eye /evil spell ] Let’s first see which planets and their combinations could c ause evil eye or evil spell. Evil eye is normally associated with jealousy where as Evil spell is normally associated with ‘buri atma’ bad souls in the form of jin , bhoot-prêt bhoo t-prêt etc. [ 1 ] For the two forms of Mangal { mars } the book says , { i } “ vah nazar ka malik to nahi magar nazar ke asar ka karishma is ka hissa hai / kisi ko nazar lag gayee ; ya nazar se hi waham wah am baithe huye saikadon miles ki cheezen khyal ki tarah dekh aana uski taqat hai” [ 52 urdu ed page 480 ] ‘Although not the ‘karak’ of sight as such, but the effect of the sight falls under its domain. Whether an evil eye or an ability to see things hundreds of miles away {clairvoyance}, all come under its purview.’ Thus the mangal ashubh {malefic} causes evil eye as mangal shubh {benefic} gives the power of clairvoyance. {ii } The karak spirits mentioned for Mangal ashubh are ‘ jin and  bhoot’ [ Lal Kitab : table of things associated]

[ 2 ] Mercury : { i }Mercury has been associated with ‘ bhoot shakti , murda ruhen , mande wazood , bhoot-pret’ [ Lal Kitab : table of things associated ] { ii }Mercury is further defined as : “ kisi cheez ka saaya ya aqsa, agar asal cheez {jis ka saaya hai} ka pataa na lage ki vah kahan hai” [ 52 urdu ed : page 534 ]

[ 3 ] For Rahu the lal Kitab says, “ mangal bad jo tahreer karave , us tahreer ki khyali safar ki taqat ka malik rahu khwab mein hi parh lega” lega” [ 52 urdu ed : page 644 ] “ jab budh aur rahu milen [ mande khano mein ] to agar jail khana nahi to hospital, pagal khana , kabristan ya veerana to zaroor milega kasoor ya beemari khwah na ho” ho” [ 52 urdu ed : page 529 ]

Therefore three planets, or their combinations, signify evil eye or  an evil spell : Ashubh mangal , ashubh budh and rahu. { A } Now lets see the ‘karak’ objects of the traditional folk  upaya for evil spell . ‘On a Sunday, burn a little kachcha koyala {wood charcoal} along with dried droppings of either a camel or a deer {Camel dung or deer  dung} in an earthen pot . When the charcoal and the camel / deer  droppings get red, sprinkle a few mustard seeds and a little bat /  pigeon droppings over it and carry the smoking pot around the house, in every nook and corner. The best place you can collect the bat /  pigeon droppings from is the deserted old buildings where bats roost during the day. Repeat this process for at least 13 Sundays.’ Kachcha koyala = rahu deer droppings = ashubh mangal camel dropping = Rahu Earthen pot = budh Mustard seeds = rahu Bat/pigeon droppings = ashubh budh The same three planets as mentioned above which are being burnt assuming that the ‘buree atma’ is burned into smoke.

{ B } Now lets see the karak objects of the traditional folk upaya for an evil eye. ‘Either on a Tuesday or a Saturday, take the child to the Hanuman temple. Apply a tilak of sindoor on the fore head of the child. The sindoor should be taken from the right shoulder of the Hanuman idol.’ Hanuman ji = shubh mangal { bhoot pishach nikat nahi ave , mahaveer jab naam sunave ; naase rog hare sab peera , japat nitantar hanumat veera} Sindoor = subh mangal Right shoulder = subh mangal Here the help of shubh mangal is being taken to counter act the effect of ashubh mangal [ buree nazar]
