In Hindu religion and Sanatan scriptures, special importance has been given to the worship of Goddess Lakshmi for attaining wealth, happiness, prosperity and glory. But do you know that along with Mother Lakshmi, her elder sister ‘Alakshmi’ is also mentioned in our Puranas? According to the mythology of Bhagwat Purana, just before the appearance of Goddess Lakshmi during the churning of the ocean, her elder sister Alakshmi appeared, whose habits and nature are completely opposite to those of Mother Lakshmi. While mother likes cleanliness, light and purity, Alakshmi is attracted by filth, darkness and poverty. According to our Vaastu Shastra and religious texts, some impure and negative energy items kept in the house unknowingly attract Alakshmi towards themselves, due to which poverty and troubles start residing in the house. Let us know which are the 5 things which keeping in the house can cause destruction.
1. Dried basil plant
Tulsi plant is considered very sacred in Hindu religion and the form of Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that the house where there is a green Tulsi plant, there is positive energy and blessings. But if the Tulsi plant in your house has dried up and you are keeping it as it is, then it is considered a great bad omen. Dried basil plant directly invites ill-luck and poverty into the house. If any basil plant in your house has dried up, then immediately remove it and throw it in a holy place or river and plant a new green plant in its place.
2. Broken and useless goods
Often people keep junk, damaged electronic items or broken furniture in their homes for years. According to Vastu Shastra, such unused and broken items in the house transmit negative energy. This dirt and chaos is very dear to Alakshmi. If such things are kept in the house for a long time, the money routes start getting blocked and the family members have to face financial crisis and mental stress.
3. Broken glass or mirror
Keeping a broken mirror or glass item used in the house creates huge Vaastu defects. Broken glass completely distorts the flow of positive energy inside the house. According to religious beliefs, broken glass directly attracts Goddess Alakshmi. If any window, mirror or glass vessel in your house is broken, do not keep it in the house even for a moment and immediately throw it out of the house, otherwise the residence of Goddess Lakshmi may end.
4. Old and broken broom
Broom is considered another form of Goddess Lakshmi because it removes dirt and poverty from the house. But an old, torn or broken broom should never be used at home. The broken broom is considered to be one of the most favorite objects of Alakshmi. Keeping a broken broom in the house leads to loss of blessings and financial crisis. The old broom should always be changed at a fixed time and it is considered auspicious to take it out of the house on Saturday.
5. Torn and disheveled clothes
Wearing old and dirty clothes or keeping them piled up in the house without any use also invites bad luck. Such clothes increase chaos and negativity in the house, thereby obstructing the path of positive energy. According to the scriptures, disheveled and torn clothes also attract Goddess Alakshmi. If you have clothes that are no longer wearable, donate them to a needy or remove them from home to pave the way for happiness and prosperity in your life.
