Know how the coming new year will be for your zodiac sign.
Religion Desk, New Delhi. Often, when the sound of a dog or cat crying is heard in the silence of the night, a strange panic arises in our mind. The elders immediately warn that something bad is going to happen. But, what is the real truth behind this? Is this just superstition or is there any solid reason behind it?
Religious and astrological beliefs
There are many deep beliefs in Hinduism and astrology regarding the crying of dogs and cats:
Sign of negative forces: It is believed that the senses of dogs and cats are much sharper than humans. They can see things or spirits that normal humans cannot see. Therefore, their crying at night is considered to be a sign of the presence of some evil force or negative energy nearby.
Fear of inauspiciousness: According to astrology, if a dog cries in front of the main door of the house, it is considered a sign of trouble or illness that may befall a family member. Similarly, cats crying or fighting among themselves is considered to be an indicator of financial loss or distress in the house.
Message from ancestors: Some people also believe that dogs are messengers of Yamraj. Their crying may be a way of reporting some unpleasant news or death.
What does the scientific viewpoint say?
Science considers these things as superstition. According to scientists, there are practical reasons behind the crying of animals:
Loneliness: Dogs are social animals. When they get separated from their herd or feel lonely, they send a message to their companions by crying.
Determining Territory: At night, dogs bark loudly to let other dogs know that this is their territory.
Physical discomfort: Sometimes animals are sick or injured. In the silence of the night, we hear their painful sounds like crying.
Hunger and cold: Animals make such sounds even in extreme cold or when their stomach is empty.
Where astrology connects it to the coming danger and asks us to be careful. At the same time, science calls it their natural action. If an animal is crying outside your house, instead of getting scared, try to shoo it away or give it something to eat, so that its suffering can be relieved.
