What do Tonay Totke stand for in astrology?
Tonay" and "Totke" are words applied to folk beliefs and astrological remedies in India, particularly in Hindi-speaking areas. They're frequently mentioned in the context of:
Eliminating evil eye (buri nazar)
Attracting wealth, love, or success
Treating delays in marriage or childbirth
Defeating black magic or negativity
Eliminating bad luck or planetary doshas (flaws)
These remedies are typically simple actions, rituals, or domestic items thought to provide relief from particular issues.
Examples of Common Totke (Remedies)
Some of the common Totke frequently suggested by traditional astrologers or folk practitioners are as follows:
1. For Evil Eye (Buri Nazar)
Hold 7 red chilies and go around the person 7 times, then incinerate them. If they crackle a lot, it is said that the evil eye is expelled.
2. For Wealth and Prosperity
Place a Gomti Chakra (holy spiral shell) in your locker or worship it on Friday by Lakshmi Puja.
3. To Remove Marriage Delays
Present yellow attire and sweets to Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi on Thursdays. Fast and chant "Vishnu Sahasranama".
4. To Get Rid of Bad Energy at Home
Sweep the floor with water combined with rock salt (sendha namak) on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
5. For Planetary Dosha Remedies
Repeat mantras specific to the troubled planet (i.e., Saturn mantra for Shani or Mercury mantra for Budh), and offer specific things such as black urad dal, mustard oil, etc.
Totke vs Vedic Astrology
It's crucial to know the difference:
Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) is scriptural, planetary position and mathematical calculation-based.
Totke/Tonay are non-scriptural, folk-based and oral tradition-hands-down practices. They are usually employed in conjunction with astrology, not instead of.
A lot of people employ totke as short cuts while seeking the advice of astrologers for deeper planetary cures such as:
Mantra chanting
Gemstone wearing
Yantra installation
Puja or Havan rituals
Caution & Cultural Sensitivity
Totke are not scientifically proven and may sometimes lead people to superstition or fear-based behavior.
Some so-called “tonay” can involve black magic or occult practices, which are not part of Vedic tradition and may be ethically questionable.
Always consult a trusted astrologer or spiritual advisor before acting on such practices, especially if they involve personal risk or rituals unfamiliar to you.
