Children, being more susceptible to various energies, often face challenges related to their health and well-being. In many cultures, the belief in the influence of evil eyes and supernatural entities, such as witches (Dayan), is prevalent. This belief manifests in concerns about a child’s vulnerability to these forces, leading to the exploration of traditional totkas or remedies.
Understanding the Vulnerability of Children: Children are believed to have weaker immune systems, making them prone to illnesses. Additionally, their eyesight develops rapidly, and they are considered more susceptible to the negative energies associated with supernatural entities, especially witches. Folklore suggests that children under the influence of Dayan may experience frequent illnesses and exhibit signs of fear during sleep.
Protective Totkas for Children: If you suspect that your child is under the influence of negative energies or the evil eye, here are some traditional totkas that may help:
Tambe Ke Lotay Ka Totka: Take a copper vessel (tambe ka lota) filled with water.
Add a red flower to the water.
Pass the vessel over your child’s head 11 times.
Dispose of the flower in a designated area or throw it in a crossroads.
This totka is believed to ward off negative influences and diminish the impact of supernatural forces.
Hanuman Temple Sindoor Totka: Visit a Hanuman temple on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Collect a small amount of sindoor (vermillion) from the deity’s idol.
Apply the sindoor on your child’s forehead.
This totka is performed to protect the child from evil eyes and alleviate any associated troubles. It is recommended to repeat this ritual every Tuesday and Saturday.
While these totkas have been passed down through generations, it’s essential to approach them with a balanced perspective. Cultural beliefs and traditions play a significant role in shaping these practices. If your child is facing persistent health issues or exhibiting unusual behaviors, it’s advisable to seek professional medical assistance alongside any traditional remedies. Combining traditional wisdom with modern healthcare can ensure the holistic well-being of your child.
