Acharya Chanakya, who is counted among the world’s greatest economists and diplomats, has given such formulas for a happy life through ‘Chanakya Niti’ which are equally relevant even today. Chanakya believed that Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, is extremely fickle by nature and does not stay at one place for long.
However, Chanakya has also clarified that if the person’s conduct, discipline and home environment are good, then Goddess Lakshmi starts residing there permanently. Let us know those 4 rules of Chanakya Niti, which can fill any ordinary house with happiness and prosperity.
1. Sweet words and family togetherness
According to Chanakya, Goddess Lakshmi loves peace and love. Happiness and prosperity run far away from a house where there is an atmosphere of discord, abuse or quarrel all the time.
Importance of speech: Lakshmi never stays with those who speak harsh words. Where there is sweetness in speech and mutual respect among members, there continues to be a flow of positive energy.
Strength in Unity: A united family can easily face any major financial problem, which increases the accumulation of wealth.
2. Adherence to cleanliness and discipline
Dirt and laziness are considered to be the biggest causes of poverty. Chanakya Niti says that a person who is undisciplined can never become rich.
Law of sunrise: Goddess Lakshmi gets angry with those who keep sleeping till sunrise.
Pure Environment: The house where there is cleanliness morning and evening and the environment remains pure, Goddess Lakshmi herself gets attracted there. Discipline and time management are the first steps to success.
3. Respect for food and feeling of charity
In Indian culture, food is considered a deity. Chanakya says that in a house where food is disregarded or wasted, blessings are lost.
Respect for food: Leaving food in the plate or insulting the food is an invitation to poverty.
Power of donation: The treasury of a person who donates a small part of his earnings to the needy or to social causes is never empty. Donation does not reduce wealth, rather it comes back more pure.
4. Respect for women and scholars
Chanakya had a clear opinion that the house where women are insulted is certain to be ruined.
Honoring Grihalakshmi: The women of the house have been called ‘Grihalakshmi’. If they are happy and respected, then no one can stop the progress of that house.
Importance of Knowledge: The gods reside in the house where the advice of learned people is respected and wealth is earned by following the path of religion. Money earned illegally does not last long.
