It is said that education reduces superstition, but if we look at the environment around us now, believing this should also be considered a kind of superstition. More and more people are becoming more and more superstitious by learning more and making others too. The superstition of an illiterate person is limited to him and his family, but if a person is educated, occupies a high position in any field, he propagates his superstition more, can spread it far and wide. In one era, if no one has children at home or does not survive after birth or only daughters are born, believing that if a son is born, we will make him a bhikkhu (bhikkhu), i.e. we will dress him only in clothes donated by others until a certain age. Educated people laugh at this old practice as superstition, but many of these families see a moment when a pregnant woman is recommended to undergo a caesarean section. Then, based on astrology, the Rashi is shown and given a name. The child studies in English medium, considers himself superior to the poor children studying in the local language in a government school, but after growing up, consults a numerologist to change the spelling of his name. Here, those who are less educated or who write their names in Gujarati will benefit so much that no numerologist can dig their pockets. Have you ever heard the suggestion of adding an extra year, ra or rash to varsha to write varrashasha? But I have read varsha as varsshaa. However, this is not considered superstition because modern, educated young people do it. It is a superstition of the uneducated to plant seeds near the house to avoid the evil eye, but if a man with a PhD hangs that blue-white evil eye on the door of the house, there will be no criticism. To see that the educated leaders who have the official responsibility to save the masses are also like that. When the elections are due, there is hardly any candidate who has not taken the auspicious time to fill the form. Here, no one should think that if every candidate has filled the form at the auspicious hour, then all the other candidates will lose their work except one. On the one hand, the government talks about bringing a law to eradicate superstition, but if you look at their behavior, the question arises, who do the scholars sitting there call superstitious? See an example. Garvi There is no bungalow number 13 among the residences for ministers in Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat. (Point out if there is an error). Because the number 13 is considered inauspicious. The funny thing here is that politicians who criticize foreign cultures are not aware that the tradition of considering the number 13 as unlucky started in the West from the time of Jesus Christ. The last meal Jesus had with his followers while alive is called the Last Supper. And there were 13 people at that table. The thirteenth of them, Judas, betrayed Jesus, and for his sin the Son of God had to be crucified. Since then the number of Bapdo 13 has become cursed, but nowhere in Hindu or Muslim religion 13 is considered inauspicious. Every digit is respected in it. Newly built grand, high-rise buildings have a 13th floor, but it is becoming more and more common to write it as 12-A. And a lot of that failure can be given to the educated, young generation. On the other hand, we already have the practice of linking auspicious and inauspicious times with the hands of the clock. A clock should be observed while doing any auspicious work. I don't know what effect it will have on human activities. But the surprise is when dozens of astrologers are asked to determine the auspicious moment during the khatmuhurat of the new temple or at the pranapritishta of the idol inside. Now, if one really has faith in God, one has to believe that all the planets, living beings, every moment of time in the three worlds are going according to the will of God. Then, if you want to build a temple of God on earth or Pranapratistha, should you try to see the auspicious time? If seen, it means that we do not have faith in God's power. Then what to do with the atheist? And these businesses are also growing with time and education. For astrologers, bawa-fakirs, golden age is going on right now. And new courses and universities are also opening to learn that business. However, hindsight is now more popular and profitable than divination. Astrologers can often predict what will happen tomorrow, but politicians can predict what happened thousands of years ago. Anandibehan Patel, who was once the shaper of the future generation of Gujarat, i.e. a teacher and then the Minister of Education, Chief Minister and now the Governor of Uttar Pradesh, recently informed the students at the convocation ceremony of a university in Lucknow that Kumbhakarna of Ramayana did not sleep for six months of the year, but as per the orders of his elder brother Ravana, Gupta Stayed in place and worked on new weapons technology. It also means that Ravana's IT cell spreading misinformation even in Satyug will be formidable. Students who come out with this knowledge will surely do great things. India's future is bright!
