Worship is not only a religious activity but also a symbol of our faith and belief. But sometimes some mistakes made unknowingly can affect our faith and dedication. By avoiding these mistakes, you can make your worship more fruitful. Worship done with a true heart brings blessings from God, so keep in mind that there should be no reduction in your devotion and dedication. By worshiping properly, you will not only please God but will also achieve happiness, peace and prosperity in your life.
If you also do not pay attention in worship, then it can prove harmful for you. Today we will discuss about those 10 mistakes which have a negative impact on the results of puja.
Pay special attention to these things
1. Do not offer Tulsi to Lord Ganesha
Tulsi should not be used while worshiping Lord Ganesha. It is believed that Lord Ganesha does not like Tulsi and if you offer Tulsi to him, it may take away his grace. Due to this the result of puja can be negative.
2. Do not offer Durva to the Goddess
Similarly, offering Durva in the worship of the Goddess is also not appropriate. Durva is considered an insult to the goddess. This may harm your devotion and you may face difficulty in getting the blessings of the Goddess.
3.Do not offer Ketaki flower on Shivling.
-Offering Ketaki flower on Shivling is also wrong. This is considered an insult to Lord Shiva. Ketaki flower should not be used in worship because it can reduce the effect of your devotion. Instead, you can use Belpatra, Datura or other sacred flowers.
4. Do not chew basil leaves and eat them.
Tulsi leaves should not be chewed and eaten, this destroys the sanctity of the puja. The importance of Tulsi is very high and it should be respected. It should be used for devotional purposes only.
5. If there is Sutak in the family then do not touch the idol of worship.
If any member of your family has Sutak then avoid touching the idol of worship. Touching the idol in the state of Sutak can spoil the sanctity of the puja and reduce your devotion. In such a situation, other religious activities can be done at home, but do not touch the idol.
6. Do not circumambulate Lord Shiva completely.
When you worship Lord Shiva, it is important that you do not circumambulate him completely and also keep in mind that you should not cross the water coming out of the Argha of Lord Shiva. This makes Shiva and Parvati angry.
7. Do not keep three Ganesh idols in the temple
Install only one Ganesha idol in the puja room as keeping three Ganesha idols in the same temple is considered inauspicious. This hinders the worship and hinders receiving the blessings of God.
8. Do not keep shoes and slippers upside down at the door.
Keeping shoes and slippers upside down at the door brings negativity into the house. This is considered an inauspicious sign and affects the positive energy of the house. Always keep shoes and slippers straight and outside the door.
9. It is prohibited to wash hands immediately after coming from the temple and worshiping.
One should avoid washing hands immediately after coming from the temple and worshiping. Doing this may spoil the sanctity of the worship. It is important to maintain its purity for some time, so that your devotion increases. After the puja, first sit respectfully and then wash your hands.
10. One should not light one's lamp in someone else's lamp.
It is not appropriate to light a lamp in someone else's lamp. Doing so may affect the brightness of your lamp. Always light your lamp separately and display your devotion.
