Let us know what is the right time for worship today and which mistakes you should avoid at all costs.
3 most auspicious times for worship on Hanuman Jayanti Today there are three special and fruitful auspicious times for worshiping Lord Hanuman. For the devotees who want to worship in the morning, Brahma Muhurta was from 4.38 am to 5.24 am. At the same time, the most auspicious time for morning puja is from 6.10 am to 7.44 am. If you want to do Aarti and worship God in the evening, then the best time for this would be from 6:39 pm to 8:06 pm.
Do not make these mistakes while worshiping Bajrangbali
Pay full attention to Sutak period According to the rules of Sanatan Dharma, if a child has recently been born in your house or a relative has died, then it is considered to be Sutak period in the house. It is completely prohibited to touch the idol of God or perform worship during Sutak period. In such a situation, you should avoid worshiping at home.
There should be no mistake in the color of the clothes. No deity should be worshiped in dirty or impure clothes. Wearing red, yellow or saffron colored clothes for the worship of Hanuman ji is considered most auspicious. Do not worship wearing black, blue or white colored clothes on this day, it is considered inauspicious.
Food and salt rule If you have observed a fast on Hanuman Janmotsav, then avoid consuming salt for the whole day today. Even if you have not observed a fast, still prepare and consume only sattvik food at home. Consuming tamasic food like meat, alcohol, garlic and onion can prove to be a huge mistake today.
Strictly follow celibacy Pawanputra Hanuman is a child celibate. Therefore, on the day of his birth anniversary, devotees should follow complete celibacy both physically and mentally. Do not bring any kind of bad thoughts or impurity in your mind.
Do not offer charanamrit in puja. Often in the worship of Hindu religion, charanamrit is offered to the gods and goddesses, but the method of worshiping Hanuman ji is a little different. According to the scriptures, Charanamrit is never used in the worship of Bajrangbali, so do not offer it to him.
Avoid arrogance and show off Bajrangbali is a symbol of simplicity and true devotion. If you are organizing puja, charity or bhandara today, do not have even the slightest ego in your mind. Hanuman ji does not accept any virtuous work done for show.
