A bizarre claim by a self-proclaimed “sadhvi” has taken social media by storm, leaving netizens both amused and concerned. In a viral clip circulating online, the woman asserts that she can solve personal and family problems simply by smelling oil brought from a person’s home. According to her, this unusual method allows her to detect negative energies, resolve family disputes, and even ward off evil forces.
The video has triggered a wave of reactions, with many users mocking the claim and questioning how such practices continue to gain traction in a country that prides itself on scientific progress and education. Comments like “RIP doctors, RIP IQ” and “IQ has literally become AQI” reflect the growing frustration among sections of the public who see such beliefs as a step backward.
"RIP doctors, RIP IQ." 🤣😭

At the same time, the incident has reignited a larger debate about blind faith, superstition, and the influence of self-styled godmen and godwomen in India. While faith and spirituality remain deeply rooted in the country’s cultural fabric, critics argue that unverified claims especially those related to health or personal crises can mislead vulnerable individuals.
Experts have long warned that such practices can sometimes exploit people during emotionally or financially difficult times. Instead of seeking professional help, individuals may turn to unconventional and unproven remedies, which can delay real solutions.
However, supporters of such figures often defend them, citing personal experiences and belief systems that go beyond scientific reasoning. This divide between faith and rationality continues to be a recurring theme in Indian society.
As the video continues to trend, it serves as a reminder of the importance of critical thinking in the age of viral content. While humor and memes dominate the online response, the underlying issue raises serious questions about awareness, education, and the need to distinguish belief from misinformation.
