News Topical, Digital Desk : In Hinduism, lighting a lamp is not just a tradition, but it also helps maintain positive energy in the home. The flame of a lamp is also seen as a symbol of knowledge and prosperity. Today, we'll tell you how to light a lamp (Deepak Jalane ke Niyam) in front of God during worship, so you can reap the full benefits of your prayers.
What are the correct rules for lighting a lamp?
If you're lighting a lamp with cow ghee, it's considered auspicious to place it on the deity's left side. Using a white cotton wick is best for a ghee lamp. However, if you're lighting a lamp with mustard or sesame oil, place it on the deity's right side. Using a wick made of red thread or sacred thread is considered auspicious.
Which direction is correct
It's also crucial to consider the direction in which the lamp's flame is facing (Vastu Directions). According to Vastu Shastra, the north or north-east direction is considered the best for lighting a lamp. Furthermore, the lamp's wick should always face east or north. However, it's also important to avoid placing the lamp's wick in the south or west direction, as this is considered inappropriate according to Vastu.
Pay special attention to these things
During worship, the lamp should not be placed directly in front of the idol or statue of the deity, nor should it be placed too far away. Always maintain a balanced distance from the lamp. If you are using a lamp made of metal such as brass, copper, or silver, ensure its cleanliness.
Don't make these mistakes
- It is not considered auspicious if the lamp goes off in the middle of the puja , hence sufficient ghee or oil should be used in the lamp.
- A broken lamp should never be used in worship, otherwise it does not give auspicious results.
- A dirty or burnt lamp can bring negativity into the home, so avoid using such lamps.
