Sangatj ji what does Gurbani say about babies being vulnerable to bad spirits?

My family usually doesn't pay much heed to things related to the supernatural or superstitions, but since a baby has been born in my family, I've noticed they do after all believe in such things to some extent. For example, putting a black and white bracelet on the babies wrist, keeping jal from a historical Gurdwara at home and sprinkling it sometimes, beliefs such as not to go near and touch the baby without washing hands and face if you've just come from outside as you could have the "hawa" which could transfer onto the baby, and doing Jaap Sahib when the baby seems very distressed and won't stop crying (I've seen this one work).

Very curious to know your points of view. Looking forward to your responses. Thanks!

Wjkk Wjkf!

Congratulations on having a baby!

Doing naam simran is your best protection. The more gurbani being read in your household the less likely these type of things affect you. Bad spirits can affect anyone, but what can they do to you when Guru Nanak Dev Ji is your protector? Trust gurbani not these superstitions.

yeah obviously, babies immune system is low, their spiritual immune system is also lower. dont listen to ppl who say "Where does it say in Gurbani?", thats not common sense. Gurbani is poetic-spiritual lore, not a direct how -to guide bro.

use your common sense and follow advice of your ancestors/elders they are quite smart

this is not superstition lol. its scientific fact. superstition is like not leaving the house when someone sneezes or some crap like that.

and holy hell, people always say gurbani this gurbani that but have you even looked around you at real life, stuff like black magic exist bruh you have to be smart and avoid it just like bad spirits and people... obviously gurbani protects you 100x more than any of the rituals but the rituals also help its not superstitous unless you take it too far and make it a fearful thing. if its out of love, then do it, if it makes you afraid then your just contributing to the bad vibes and aura of the baby and household situation.

ultimately, read gurbani ,play gurbani but also rmr that things like bad spirits exist so be careful as well. dont be a chicken with your head cut off

Actually I don't know it and was hoping someone familiar with the Gurbani related to this topic could quote it.

While i'm not discounting the existence of evil spirits (where there's good there bad right) a lot of the "superstitions" around newborn's have a foot hold in reality, you don't go near a baby without washing at least your hands first because of germs, "hawa" from outside translates to your body temperature when you go see a newborn, if it's cold outside it;s common sense not to pick up a baby until you've warmed up.

Regardless, we always would have Sukhmani Sahib playing when our children were young and it would calm them down.

Amen Veer Ji. I myself feel beset and only by Kirpa and Naam and Gurbani do I even stumble forward. May we all let go and let God and feel a sense of loving protection for one another.

No that’s ridiculous. 

 

Of course babies can sense things, so can we. But they are on their own journey. Rituals etc are rubbish. Instead why not try and do Naam Simran near your baby.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
