Is it right or wrong to take Laddu Gopal to the market or on a trip? Know what the scriptures say and the right rule of service Is it right or wrong to take Laddu Gopal to the market or on a journey? Find out what the scriptures say and the correct rules for His service.

In Sanatan Dharma, the service of Laddu Gopal (Bal Gopal) is not considered a normal idol worship, but a service done with an innocent spirit like a small child of the house. Nowadays, many devotees take their Laddu Gopal with them to the market, to relatives’ homes or on long religious journeys. This trend has increased rapidly on social media also. But according to the scriptures and mythological beliefs, is it right or wrong to keep Bal Gopal along in the journey like this? Let us know what strict rules are mentioned in astrology and religious scriptures regarding the journey of Laddu Gopal and his service.

Not God but the spirit of a child: Is it scriptural to take on a trip?

According to religious beliefs and scholars, taking Laddu Gopal with you on a journey is considered completely right and as per the scriptures. The main reason behind this is that when you consider them a member of your household or a child, it is considered inappropriate to leave them at home alone. If there is no one at home to make arrangements for their service, worship, food and making them sleep on time, then the best way is to take them with you. The scriptures say that God is hungry for feelings and wherever the devotee goes, Thakur ji also goes there happily.

It is mandatory to follow these strict rules during the journey: Even the slightest mistake will result in blame

Devotees should strictly follow some very important rules while taking Laddu Gopal to the market or on a trip. The most important rule is that even while travelling, the timing of their food and enjoyment should not change at all. There should be proper arrangements to protect them from sunlight, dust and extreme cold or heat during the journey. Always make them travel in a safe, clean and respectable basket or small seat. Also, do not make the mistake of touching them with unclean hands or without taking bath.

Take special care while going to the market: It is very important to keep these things in mind

If you are taking Bal Gopal for local market or shopping, then take full care of decorum. Avoid taking them with you to any impure place, leather goods shop or routes with poisonous food. During the journey, always keep a small ‘travel kit’ for Laddu Gopal, which contains a container of pure water, sugar candy or makhana for offering, and a small curtain or cloth, so that he can be made to rest (sleep) when the time comes. By following these rules, your journey becomes auspicious and you get the special blessings of Thakur ji.
