Do not forget these 5 mistakes even by forgetting in Navratri fast, otherwise your fast will remain incomplete

The holy festival of Sharadiya Navratri is the time of devotion and practice of Maa Durga. Devotees fast for nine days, worship and make every effort to please the mother. But do you know that fasting does not just mean to be hungry? This is the time of purification of body, mind and soul.

Often due to lack of information, people make some such mistakes during the fast, which cannot give the full result of their 9 days of practice. Let us know what 5 common mistakes you should avoid.

1. Keeping dirt in the house
This is the first and important thing. It is believed that Maa Durga resides where there is cleanliness. Therefore, during Navratri, not only the house of worship, but keep your entire house clean. Dirt and disorder brings negative energy to the house.

2. Tamasic food intake
Nine days of Navratri are the days of sattvikta. During this time, not only those observing fast, but the rest of the members of the house should also stay away from tamasic things like garlic, onion, meat-fish and alcohol. These things cause negativity and excitement in the body and mind.

3. Bringing bad thoughts in mind
The fast is not only of the stomach, but also the mind. If you keep fast on someone’s evil throughout the day, lying, angry or thinking bad about someone, then your fast is incomplete. During this, keep your mind calm and positive.

4. Extinguishing unbroken flame
If you have lit a unbroken flame in the house, then take special care of it. Do not leave him alone and make sure he does not extinguish. Extinguishing the unbroken flame is not considered auspicious. It is a symbol of your unwavering faith, so it is very important to take care of it.

5. Sleeping in the day
According to the scriptures, one should not sleep during the day during fast or any practice. This is the time to apply bhajan, kirtan, meditation and devotion to mother. Sleeping during the day brings laziness in the body and does not get the spiritual benefit of the fast.

Make your practice successful by taking care of these small things and get the full blessings of Maa Durga.
