I know that in India whistling is said to be inauspicious. That it cuts the "ether" and lets ghosts into the consciousness of those who hear it. I heard that SP said (but I may have heard it from Acyutananda dasa) that prostitutes would whistle in India as men went by to have ghosts enter into them and take over their bodies and become their clients. maybe that is where the western reverse 'eve-teasing' system of men whistling when they see a pretty woman walk by has come from. I don't have any sastric evidence on these things, but have heard different variations many times and vaguely remember SP objecting to whistling. How else can i serve you, my dear Godsister?
