totka vah vigyan hai jiske santulit, samayabaddh aur nirantar prayog karte rahne se samasyaon ka
nirakaran sanbhav ho sakta hai. jo baten hamara karya siddh karva deti hain tatha hamari
samajh se bahar hain, unhen ham alaukik, guhya adi kah dete hain. alaukik arthat jo
hamare lok ki n ho. aise hi alaukik padarth, prayog, karm jo alp samay men aur
nyunatam prayas dvara sanpann kie jate hain, totka kahlate hain. inke falibhut hone ke
piche do baten dhyan men rakhna ati avashyak hoti hain. ek to inko karte samay koi
toke nahin, dusre inke prati purn rup se shraddha aur astha karta ke man men honi chahie.
apne prayah suna hoga ki
kamar ki nas yadi charh
jae, ise samanya bhasha men ‘chik
charhna’ kahte hain, to kisi aise bachche
ke pair sat bar pith par lagvane se
vah thik ho jati hai jo ulte pair
janma ho.
bachchon ko najar lag jati hai, yah
akatya satya hai. najar lagne par
prabhavit bachche ke upar se namak,
mirch utar kar jalai jati hai.
lahsun ki kali, jayafal, nilkanth
ka par adi ka najarabattu dalna
athva uske mathe par kajal ka
tika laga kar najar ke kuprabhav se
raksha karna sarvavidit hai. kale dhage
ko pahnana to adhikanshtah prachlit
hai.
chote bachche ko dant niklte vakta
kabhi-kabhi asahya pirajnit
paristhiti utpann ho jati hai. iske
lie ek totka hai. bachche ke gale
men rohu machli ke panch dant dhage men
bandh kar latkva dijie, chamatkari
rup se apko labh dikhai dega.
kabhi-kabhi navjat shishu nind men
dar kar chaink jate hain jaise kisi
bhayanak drishya se saham gaye hon. aise
bachchon ke gale men lahsun ki char
panch kaliyan dhage men bandh kar dal
dijie. sukhne par yah nae se badl
diya kijie. bachcha nind men darega
nahin.
janm lene vali pratham santan yadi
larka hai to uski ‘nal’ uske
chathi ke kapre men bandh kar apne
pas surakshit rakh len. kisi bhi shubh
karya men athva apne isht karya ki
siddhi ke lie ghar se niklte samy
usko bhi apne sath shraddha bhav se
le jaya karen. apka vanchit karya
avashya hi purn hoga.

‘buri najar vale tere bachche sharab
pien’, ‘buri najr’, ulta ho tujh par
asr’, adi shabd apne trakon ke
piche likhe avashya dekhe honge. dukanon
par ninbu-mirch, bhavnon par rakshas ke
daravne mukhaute, handiya, haldi ki
ganth, am ke patton ki bandnbar
adi bhi avashya dekhi hogi. totkon
men avishvas karne vala vyakti bhi
inhen kisi n kisi rup men prayog
karta avashya dikhai de jata hai.
najar ke asar ko beasar karne
ke lie log apne-apne tarike
se athva suvidha anusar kuch na
kuch upakram karte rahte hain. ek bar
yah prayog bhi karke dekhie apko
ashatit labh dikhai dega. vyapar
men unnati ke lie yah totka bahut
hi prabhavshali siddh hoga. mote gatte
athva tin ko ek svastik ke
akar ka kat len. ate ki lei
se us par nag kesar chipka len.
yadi ap apne karya sthal par mircha
athva ninbu tangte hain to ab se is
svastik ke upar dhage se pirokr
tanga karen. mirchon ki sankhya sat
rakha karen. antar svayan dekh len.
mahilaon ke upar tin sthitiyon men
sarvadhik totke kie jate hain. burai
athva kisi ka anarth karne ke lie
kie gaye in totkon ke dushprabhav
bahut hi jaldi dikhai dene lagte
hain. striyon ki tin sanvednshil
sthitiyan hain. unka ritukal ka
samay, vivah ke samay suhag ke
jore men tatha garbhavastha ke dinon men.
burai athva kisi ka anarth karne
ke lie aise anekon totke kie
jate hain. burai vale prayog bahut
shighrata se karya karte hain. kamjor
mansikta valon par to inka parmanu bam ki tarah prabhav parta
hai. anarth ke lie kie jane vale
totkon men mahilaon tatha navjat
shishuon ke kapre, unke nakhun,
unke bal adi ko kata jata
hai tatha jalaya aur dabaya jata
hai. aise totko ke piche ishrya, dvesh
adhik hota hai. aise totkon ka
prabhav tab adhik hota hai jab vyakti
inke sanpark men ata hai. iske lie
aisi vyavastha ki jati hai ki vyakti
ko kuch khilaya jay, kahin daba
diya jae aur us par se vah langh
jae, uske ghar, kapron adi men
chirak diya jae adi.
aisa nahin ki totka keval vyakti par
hi prabhav dalte hain. yah pashu-pakshi,
fal-ful adi vanaspati, faiktri,
dukan adi par bhi prabhavi hote hain.
totkon ka vaigyanik adhar to ham
nahin khoj pae hain, parantu yah n samjhen
ki yah andhvishvas hai. yah adrishya
rup men apna karya kar jate hain.
per-paudhon men bali ke nam par jun
diya jata hai. anek belon men,
katahal adi ke peron men totka
svarup machli dabai jati hain. kuch
faldar vrikshon men lohe ki kil
athva aise anek upakram jadui
shakti athva chamatkar ki tarh
pratit hote hain. darasal in upakramon
dvara vriksha-lataon men khanij, lavan,
protin v anya poshak tatvon ki
purti machli, khun adi ke vightn
se hoti hai. vriksha-lataon ki jaren,
koshikaen inko sidhe tatva ke rup
men grahan karti hain.
