Can Someone Do Black Magic On You With Your Photo? | Sadhguru Answers

Overview

The video features Sadhguru (Jaggi Vasudev) answering a question about whether someone can perform “black magic” using a person’s photo. His main points are:

• Photos have “geometry”: Sadhguru claims a person’s picture contains hidden geometry, and someone with the right knowledge could interpret it to create specific effects.
• Images could be used positively or negatively: He argues that if a photo can be used to create beneficial influences, it can also be used to create harm—meaning the same mechanism could apply to both “enhancement” and “destroying.”
• Why some cultures avoid photos: He says that because of this vulnerability, some cultures historically avoided taking or sharing people’s images, believing it could expose them to enemies or misuse by a black-magic practitioner.
• Modern selfie culture is problematic (in his view): He explicitly recommends against selfies and characterizes the trend as superficial and temporary, emphasizing that life goes beyond it.
• Demonstration idea: He suggests that changing/handling images (for example, using certain folded or different images) can create misleading or “placebo” effects. By mixing or obscuring what’s shown, others may be prevented from extracting the intended “geometric” information.
