What Astrologer Says About The Significance Of Tying a Black Thread Around Your Waist – News18

The sight of people, especially children, wearing a black thread around their waist, commonly known as Kardhan, has intrigued many. While most associate it with warding off the evil eye and attracting positive energy, the reasons behind this tradition go beyond mere superstition. Tying a black thread around the waist is not just about protection, it also holds health benefits. Unravelling the secrets of this age-old practice, let’s explore the insights of Unnao’s astrologer, Pt. Rishikant Mishra Shastri to understand the advantages of donning a black thread (kardhan) around the waist.

Our bodies are composed of five fundamental elements- water, air, fire, earth, and sky. The energy derived from these elements sustains our bodily functions. However, when subjected to the malevolent gaze of an evil eye, the positive energy from these elements fails to exert its influence, leading to various health issues. In such cases, tying a black thread around the waist acts as a protective shield against these negative forces. Interestingly, this protective measure can be extended to any part of the body if one so desires.

Medical Marvels of Kardhan:

Beyond the realm of tradition, Pt. Rishikant Mishra Shastri emphasises that Kardhan aids in maintaining the spinal cord’s fluid, preventing spine-related problems and lower back pain. Additionally, wearing this thread provides stability and eliminates the fear of the navel slipping. Men can also find relief from nerve-related issues by adopting this simple yet effective practice.

Warding off Negative Energies:

Wearing a thread or waistband around the waist, particularly among children, is an age-old tradition. The belief is that the black thread not only safeguards against the evil eye but also imparts positive energy to the body. According to Tantra Shastra, the black thread worn around the waist serves as a potent absorber of negative energies. It creates a shield that guards the wearer against evil forces.

Astrological Benefits:

Tying a black thread holds significant future benefits and is believed to bring financial gains while fulfilling the wearer’s desires. Many people still tie it around their waist today. It is said that wearing a black thread while chanting the mantras of Shani Dev Maharaj during the worship of Lord Shani Dev bestows immense blessings and attracts wealth to the person.
