God will not be pleased by merely lighting a lamp or worshipping, if you are making these mistakes, you will not get the result..

Lighting a lamp in Hinduism is not only a religious tradition but is also considered a medium to invite spiritual energy and positivity. No worship can be complete without lighting a lamp. It is believed that the flame of the lamp removes the darkness of ignorance in life and spreads the light of knowledge and auspiciousness. But do you know that if some mistakes are made while lighting a lamp, then instead of getting the grace of God, his blessings can also go away?

Let us know those common but important mistakes that everyone should avoid while lighting a lamp:

1. Lighting a lamp in the wrong direction

According to religious texts, it is very important to take care of the direction while lighting a lamp.

North direction: It is considered best for wealth and happiness.

Lighting a lamp in the south direction is prohibited because it is considered Yama direction and indicates negative energy.

Correct way: While worshiping, keep the lamp towards the east or north direction.

2. Using the wrong oil or material in the lamp
The oil used in the lamp also matters a lot.

Sesame oil or deshi ghee is considered the most auspicious for worship.

Mustard oil is also used especially in Shani Puja.

Do not use adulterated or perfumed oils available in the market, these are considered impure.

3. Leaving the lamp extinguished
If the lamp extinguishes itself in the middle of the puja and you do not light it again, then it is considered a bad omen.

What to do:

If the lamp has been extinguished due to wind or due to the oil running out, then clean it immediately and light it again.

Never ignore an extinguished lamp.

4. Using a dirty or broken lamp
It is mandatory to use clean and complete items in the worship of God.

Using a broken lamp or a dirty lamp can give inauspicious results.

Also, clean the lamp before lighting it and maintain purity in lighting the lamp.

5. Do not turn your back immediately after lighting the lamp

It is a religious belief that it is wrong to leave the place immediately after lighting a lamp or to turn your back. This is considered a sign of disrespect.

The right way:

After lighting the lamp, sit there for a few moments and meditate or pray.

Leave the place only after this.

Lighting a lamp is not just a religious act but a spiritual discipline. If you do it with devotion, method and purity, only then will it give auspicious results. By following these common but important rules mentioned above, you can not only get the blessings of God but also create an atmosphere of positive energy and peace in your home. A small lamp lit with devotion is more fruitful than a thousand lamps lit without rules.
