India, a very
rich country in its beliefs, rituals and culture, etc., however the peoples out
there treats many things as OMENs / BAD SIGNS, since it has been written in their ancient
scriptures. Omens due to crying of animals are very usual as dogs and cats are
easily seen in any village or city.
Few common Omens are:-
a.) Crying &
Crossing by dog or cat
b.) Falling
of Lizard on someone
c.) Glitter
look of Crow
d.)
Sneezing as Omen etc.
These
superstitions are blindly followed by the civilians of India but seems to be
real due to their experiences they gained and learnt throughout their life.
My personal experience:
It happened during the month of January this
year (Jan-2014), when on an uncertain night, 3-4 dogs started growling at
around 10:00 PM and barked continuously till morning 03:00 AM. I was scared due
to the unexpected behavior of them and also due to the superstitions we follow.
I prayed to God for everything to be all right, but it was not so.
At 06:30 AM, I received one of my friend’s
call stating that, one of or mutual friend’s mother expired last night at around
12:30 AM. I was shocked to hear that as I met the Aunt the same day she died
and she was normal & healthy.
My belief on Omen increases the very next
day (the day she cremated), as on the next night, again the dogs barked
repeatedly till 03:00 AM. I was unable to understand, what was happening or
what was wrong, why these stray dogs behaves like an Omen.
I was
searching for the answers regarding the behavior of the dogs and later on came
to know that, Dogs have the powers to sense the unexpected, supernatural or say
unnatural things which are invisible by a human eye.
My thinking came to finish by the following 2 possible reasons for Dog's silly behaviour:-
Night 1 (when my friend’s mother died) - As per
Hindu Myths, the messenger of God (Yamraj), who pulls the soul from the corpse,
might be seen by the dogs, as most of the animals have supernatural powers.
Night 2 (after her cremation) - Hindu Mythology
also states that, the Soul / Spirit revolves around or nearby the place till
next 24 hours after its extraction from the body. This may can also be the
reason that the dog barked again the very next day after her death.
Real experience of mine.
