Does curses come true?


“So it is that curse that prevented me to top my examinations, I guess!!!!!”

Has somebody cursed you? Have you cursed somebody? Do you believe in curses? Can somebody turn a human into statue just by words?  Well this is a quiet interesting unnoticed topic in today’s modern world. A curse is something that comes out of anger and vengeance. It is a form of negative energy. Here I mean words are energy. Does really words have such a power? If you are a scientific person not believing in fantasies then just recall your school syllabus, “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transferred from one form to another.” So in that case curses should have some power. People in Tamilnadu believe that persons having black tongue, whatever they say will come true. During my psychology classes, my professor played me a video where a man filled two boxes of white boiled rice. He named a box “good” and another box “bad”. Every day he sat in front of the good box and spoke to it how happy his day was and shared all his good deeds he had done that day. On the other hand, to the bad box he shared all his sorrows and problems he faced that day. He even showed his anger to it by uttering abusive words. At the end of one week, he found the rice in the good box remain white in color whereas the rice in bad box had turned brown and developed a rotten smell. Thus your positive and negative intentions on people definitely has an impact on them. Water is believed to be a good medium for curse. You can see black magicians perform their rituals with a bowl of water in front of them. We have also heard in ancient epics about the famous curses of kings and queens. The famous curse in Tamil literature is burning of Madurai by Kannagi for the injustice done to her husband. History also have some tragic cases by just misspelling words during cursing. If you are a novel reader then you must try Ashwin Sanghi’s “Chanakya’s Chant” where the entire story is based on a single curse of a chaste. Durvasa is a short tempered sage who holds the top position in cursing by cursing the highest number of people in history. You would have also heard in your daily life that someone has cast a bad spell or magic on someone to make their life unhappy. The theory contrary to this is boons. One is also blessed with good life and health for their good deeds. The best example in history is Tenali Raman blessed with witty wisdom by Goddess Kali. I will just give you another simple example. Let us imagine one of your relative is sick and your mother wants you to visit them so that they don’t think badly of you. On her compulsion you get some fruits, visit the person and tell them to recover soon. This is definitely going to do nothing. Where in other case, just from your house you just really wish they get well soon and that would definitely give some positive energy to the person. If we keep talking we can talk for years debating about this, but I just want to end it by saying, if you do not work hard or indulge yourself in bad activities, then definitely life is going to knock you down, who needs a curse? Remember “Karma is bommerang!”
P.S. You can find the rice experiment videos in Youtube.
