Do you still have leftover dough from last night? Are you giving a treat to poverty?

News Topical, Digital Desk : In Hinduism, the kitchen is considered the abode of Goddess Annapurna. To save time, people often refrigerate leftover flour from the previous night, or knead the flour the day before and refrigerate it. They then make rotis from it the next day. However, according to astrology and Vastu Shastra, using stale flour is considered extremely harmful to the peace and health of the home. Furthermore, if you do this, poverty will gradually surround you.

Know what effect stale flour roti has on your life:

1. Negative influence of planets (Rahu and Saturn)

According to astrology, when flour is kneaded with water and left to sit for a long time,
the influence of Rahu increases. Fresh bread is associated with the Sun and Mars, which provide energy and sharpness to the body. It is believed that bread made from stale flour becomes tamasic, inviting the negative effects of Saturn and Rahu. This increases irritability and laziness in a person's nature.

2. Abode of ancestors and negative energy

According to religious beliefs, stale dough is considered a "pind." It is said that such dough attracts negative energy and unsatisfied spirits into the home. This is why scriptures advise against using dough left over from the previous night, as it can create an atmosphere of illness and discord in the home.

3. Mental and physical health

From both a scientific and astrological perspectives, stale bread is considered a heavy burden. Eating it increases anger and impairs decision-making. Being a tamasic food, it impairs concentration and causes mental stress.

4. Insult to Annapurna

Stale flour left in the kitchen is considered an insult to Goddess Annapurna. It is believed that a home where stale flour is used instead of fresh food will experience a halt in prosperity and financial hardship (poverty).
