News India Live, Digital Desk: Does it happen with you too that money comes home but does not last? Or is there tension between husband and wife over small matters? In our daily life, we do many such things unknowingly, which we do not even know how deeply they can affect our lives. One of these habits is laundry day.
Our grandmothers always used to say that clothes should not be washed on Thursday and Ekadashi. At that time, these things seemed old and conservative to us, but there are very deep reasons behind this in astrology and scriptures. Let us know today why washing clothes is prohibited in these two days.
Why is Thursday so special?
In astrology, Jupiter i.e. Jupiter is considered very auspicious. This planet is responsible for happiness, good fortune, wealth, marriage and children. That is, all the great happiness of life is achieved only by the grace of Jupiter. Thursday is dedicated to Devguru Brihaspati.
- Jupiter becomes weak: It is believed that cleaning the house, selling junk, washing hair, cutting nails or washing clothes, especially washing dirty water with soap, on Thursday weakens the position of Jupiter in the horoscope. When Jupiter is weak, it directly impacts our financial condition, marital life and progress.
- Relation to water: In olden times, people used to wash clothes in river, pond or well. Doing this on Thursday would contaminate the water source, which was considered an insult to the gods. Even in the house, spilling dirty water on this day is not considered auspicious.
What is the significance of Ekadashi date?
The day of Ekadashi is dedicated to the worship of Lord Vishnu. It is a holy and spiritual day.
- The mind is engaged in worship: According to the scriptures, on the day of Ekadashi, our mind should be diverted from worldly activities and towards devotion and spirituality. Due to getting entangled in household chores like washing clothes, we are unable to concentrate on worship.
- negative energy: It is also believed that using soap and water on this day increases the flow of negative energy in the house, which hinders our progress and happiness and peace.
What happens if you wash clothes during these days?
According to beliefs, if a person does not take care of these things and washes clothes on Thursday or Ekadashi, he may have to face many problems:
- There is shortage of money in the house.
- Bitterness starts appearing in the relationship between husband and wife.
- There may be obstacles in the happiness of children.
- Health related problems persist.
- The work done starts getting spoiled.
It is not necessary that you blindly believe every old thing, but there is no harm in following those traditions which have a spiritual or astrological reason behind them. It is possible that just by changing the day of washing clothes, many problems in your life will automatically reduce.
