SCIENCE IN REMOVAL OF
SUPERSTITIONS

29. REMEDIES FOR THE REMOVAL OF
SUPERSTITIONS
1. Conduct awareness programmes like seminars,
exhibitions etc so that people may get a proper
insight of superstitious beliefs.
2. Conduct public demonstrations and prove the
falsehood of the superstitious beliefs. For example
an event to show that cutting nails or hair at any
time/day is harmless.

30. 3. Talk scientifically and reasonably. Always try to look
into the scientific aspect of the matter. This can help us
and others to fight the blind followers of superstitions.
4. Explain to others about the truths of several beliefs.
For example, sleeping under a peepal tree is harmful to us.
But this is not because of the ghosts. This is due to the
enormous amount of CO2 released during night time.
Lack of adequate O2 may sometimes result in uneven
sleep. This is how the facts go!

31. 5. Include the facts and truths about superstitions in school
curriculum. It will let students understand the falsehoods
behind these beliefs at the childhood itself. Teachers must
explain them in a simple and acceptable manner.
