What’s that all about? Chilli & Limes & Nazar?

What’s that all about? Chilli & Limes & Nazar?

People believe in superstition and follow the tradition which is followed by their ancestors without questioning them once or finding out the truth or fact behind it. Some follow it because of their strong belief in that act, while some do it just because they've been following it for years. With this journey on The Jai Jais I seem to question so much about the reasons behind or rites, rituals signs and symbolism. This is also the inquisitive nature of my children too, always asking…..”but mummy why?”.  I have been humbled by your responses to my posts and blogs of how much you are also learning and teaching your children along our journey together.

There have been people who have tried hard to find reasons for these age-old practices. One of them is 'nazar utarna', or removing the effects of the evil eye. So today, we thought of investigating, The Jai Jais Way the logic of this superstition, which actually also has a scientific reason to it.

Why are Hindus Cremated?

Why are Hindus Cremated?

The Hindu faith is centred around reincarnation; the belief that when someone dies, the soul is reborn as a different form. This can take many lifetimes. Additionally, they believe their soul’s next incarnation will depend on the actions throughout their previous life, this is also known as Karma.
