News Topical, Digital Desk : Circumambulating the fire during Holika Dahan is not just a ritual, but a sacred occasion to eliminate the evil within. When you set out with your family for Holika Puja, keep a few things in mind. Often, small mistakes made unknowingly can diminish the results of our prayers.
Pay attention to the direction and speed of the rotation.
The biggest mistake during circumambulation is direction. According to scriptures, circumambulating the fire should always begin clockwise, i.e., on the right side. Never circumambulate in the opposite direction, as this is considered inauspicious and can lead to negative thoughts. Furthermore, circumambulation should not be done while running too fast or pushing. Walk with a calm mind and at a moderate pace, while thanking God. When you walk around the fire with restraint, positive energy flows through the body and obstacles in business are removed.
Conversation and behavior during the circumambulation
It's often seen that people start joking or talking about random things while doing parikrama. This is a serious mistake. Parikrama is a time to connect with God and reflect within. It's best to remain silent or chant mantras silently during this time. Speaking ill of others or becoming angry during parikrama can diminish your merits. Instead, mentally repeat your deepest wishes and pray for the well-being and safety of your family. Only prayers offered in silence reach God quickly and bring peace of mind.
Do not be negligent in offering the material
It is important to be careful while offering materials to the fire. Do not throw leftover food or impure items like plastic into the fire during the circumambulation . The scriptures consider it auspicious to offer grains from the new harvest, wheat ears, gram, and dry coconuts to the fire. Offering these sacred items ensures there is never a shortage of food and money in the home. Using the wrong materials can pollute the environment. By using the right materials, you can receive the blessings of your ancestors, which paves the way for increasing your father's wealth and happiness.
Necessary precautions after worship
Don't turn your back and walk away immediately after completing the circumambulation. First, bow to the fire god with folded hands and apologize for any mistakes. After the circumambulation, don't forget to touch the feet of elders and seek their blessings, as respecting elders is the key to good fortune. When returning home after the puja, don't harbor any bitterness toward anyone. Gratitude meditation on this day will bring immense peace to your mind. When we follow these rules, negativity in our lives is destroyed, and we move toward success with ease.
