Oil And Reflection ?

[singhters]

Hello,

i have a question that i hope someone can answer, my mum sometimes puts oil in a silver metal dish and tells me to dip my fingers in and then gets me to look at my reflection in the oil, what does this mean ?

my fiance seems to think she should not do this as it may be opening doors to bad spirits and demons rather than doing anything good ?

thanks.

First time heard of this one. Some people do things to protect from najarh(evil eye), dont know if they work thou. Ask your mom why she does it.

Anyone know what this is in aid of ? can it be jadu ? because i'm engaged to an english woman who is of my own choosing and someone that i am compatible with, on the outside she seems fine by this but i don't know what she could be thinking on the inside and i also don't understand why sikhs do this when sikhism teaches us not to be byast and fascist and to treat everyone the same.

hope someone can answer me about the oil question.

Honestly I have never ever heard of this

Does she do that on Saturdays? If yes, then she probably is doing for shani baba.

Many people in India, donate oil to shani baba by putting it in metal , putting a coin in it, seeing the reflection and giving to babas.'

Yes I heard of similar.

Do u mean Shani the planet?

I think its not a Sikh practice, if its what ekgurjaskhalsa says, then its probably not jadu but more to protect. best thing is to ask your mom why she does it, as only she knows, ont ink a mom would do jadu on her own kids to harm them.

I think she may be trying to recreate the Mirror of Galadriel. It shows the viewer "things that were, and things that are, and things that yet may be."

For further information have a look on the following site: http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/The_Mirror_of_Galadriel

However, since this is a Sikh forum, I should probably add that Sikhi strictly forbids magic, acts of deception and superstitious beliefs.

Hope this helps

Sounds like a hindu ritual...Not sure if this is whats happening...if so maybe a talk is necissary.

Saade-saati of Saturn (Shani) and the ritualistic worship of Deity Hanuman

While enduring a Saade-saati of Saturn, Maruti is worshiped to reduce the distress caused by Saturn.

The ritual is as follows:

Oil is taken in a bowl and 14 black urad grains are put in it. Thereafter one sees the reflection of his face in the oil. The oil is then offered to Māruti. The method of worship remains the same even when a person is sick and cannot visit a temple. The reflection of negative energy also takes place along with the reflection of ones face. When such oil is offered to Maruti, the negative energy therein gets destroyed.
