Get mental peace with a new beginning, rare coincidence of Guru Pradosh on January 1, do not miss this opportunity.

News India Live, Digital Desk: The first sunlight of the new year is peeking through the window, and there is an atmosphere of happiness all around. We all want that no matter how the last year was, 2026 should bring us happiness and prosperity. This time 1st January is Thursday, and when Pradosh Tithi falls on Thursday, it is ‘Guru Pradosh Vrat 2026’ It is said.

The meaning of Guru Pradosh is the union of knowledge and power. What could be a better opportunity than getting the blessings of Lord Vishnu along with Lord Shiva? Let us know what simple things we can do at home today:

1. Special puja for mental peace
The most valuable thing in today’s busy life is ‘mental peace’. If your mind remains disturbed or you think too much, then light a lamp of cow ghee in front of Lord Shiva today in Pradosh Kaal (evening time). Sitting peacefully and chanting ‘Om Namah Shivay’ will reduce the heaviness in your mind. Believe me, the power in this simple work will make you strong from within.

2. The way to freedom from debt and troubles
If any tension or financial problem of the old year is still haunting you, then on the day of Guru Pradosh, face north and bathe Lord Shiva with Panchamrit. Since today is Thursday, applying white sandalwood or yellow tilak to them gives very auspicious results. It is said that at the time of Pradosh, Lord Shiva rides on his Nandi and dances on Mount Kailash, and whoever prays with a true heart at that time does not return empty handed.

3. Positive Energy in the house
It’s the beginning of 2026, so why not fill every corner of the house with positive energy? Today sprinkle Ganga water in the temple of your home and in the evening burn a camphor and spread its aroma throughout the house. This will not only improve the environment of the house, but will also reduce the ongoing differences between family members.

A little advice:
Worship is not just a show, but a way to connect with your soul. If you can’t keep the fast, no problem. Just avoid lying and getting angry today – this is the greatest virtue.
