In Sanatan Dharma, Mother Ganga is considered to be the most sacred and sacred goddess. According to the scriptures, Ganga water is not just water but is actually nectar, which has the ability to destroy all the sins of man and remove negativity. This is the reason that even in Kaliyuga, the importance of Ganga water has not diminished even a bit and Ganga water is kept compulsorily in the house of every Hindu family.
Often people keep Ganga water in their homes to maintain happiness, peace, purity and positive energy, but sometimes unknowingly it is kept in such places which causes huge Vastu Dosh. By keeping Ganga water at the wrong place, its auspicious and sacred effect is completely lost and problems start increasing in the house. Let us know where according to Vastu and scriptures, Ganga water should be kept in the house and where it should be completely avoided.
Do not keep Ganga water at these 4 places even by mistake
According to religious beliefs and Vaastu Shastra, there are some parts of the house where keeping holy Ganges water is considered strictly prohibited:
Bedroom: The bedroom is considered a place of rest and marital life. Keeping holy Ganga water in this room is completely prohibited. By keeping Ganga water near the bed or at the bedside, a person may have to face problems like insomnia (sleeplessness), mental disturbance and stress.
Kitchen: Kitchen is considered the place of fire and food. According to Vastu, keeping Ganga water in the kitchen causes conflict between the energies of fire and water. This can have a negative impact on the health of family members and may hinder economic progress.
Bathroom and Dining Area: The bathroom is considered an impure place, so keeping Gangajal near or in it is a grave insult to the sacred water. Apart from this, keeping Ganga water in the place where food is eaten i.e. in the dining area also increases Vaastu defects and reduces the positivity of the house.
Dark and closed places: Ganga water should never be kept in any dark corner of the house, basement or closed cupboard. In places where light and air do not reach, negative forces start dominating.
It is very important to know these rules of keeping and touching Ganga water
If you want the blessings of Mother Ganga and Lord Shri Hari to remain in your home, then follow these important rules while using Ganga water:
Touch only after washing hands: Always touch Ganga water only after taking bath or with clean hands. Touching it with dirty or unwashed hands reduces its effect.
Contraindications during menstruation: Women should completely avoid touching Ganga water or handling its bottle during menstruation.
Do not place on the ground: Never keep the bottle or vessel of Ganga water directly on the floor or ground. Always place it on a stool, a high stand or a clean shelf in the temple. Along with this, always keep the lid of the bottle tightly closed.
Purification on holy dates: Changing Ganga water, adding new water to it or purifying it on the Amavasya or Purnima tithi of every month is considered very fruitful.
Surefire and divine benefits of keeping Ganga water at the right place
If you keep Ganga water in a clean and high place in the worship place of the house (north-east direction) as per the rules of Vastu, then the atmosphere of the entire house remains very positive and sacred. Due to the effect of Ganga water kept in the right direction, Goddess Lakshmi resides permanently in the house, due to which financial problems go away forever.
Apart from this, the health of the family members remains excellent, mutual troubles and disputes end and happiness, prosperity and unbroken peace arrive in the house. If there is any kind of Vaastu defect in the house, then by regularly sprinkling a few drops of Ganga water in the entire house, that defect also gets eliminated gradually.
