Thursday rules: Do not make or eat Khichdi on Thursday, know the real astrological reason behind it

Like dates in Sanatan Dharma, every day of the week has a special and deep religious significance. According to the scriptures, every day is dedicated to some God, Goddess and Navagraha, on the basis of which the rules of daily worship, eating habits and living are decided. Today is Thursday, which is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the protector of the world and Brihaspati Dev, the guru of the gods. In astrology, Thursday is considered very sacred, but on this day there are some very strict rules regarding kitchen, one of which is – complete ban on making and eating Khichdi on Thursday.

Jupiter becomes weak in the horoscope, danger of poverty looms.

This may sound a bit surprising, but according to astrological and mythological beliefs, making Khichdi at home and eating it on Thursday is considered completely prohibited (inauspicious).

• Black Lentil Khichdi: Making and eating Khichdi with urad or black lentils on Thursday is considered very inauspicious, because black lentils are mainly associated with Shani Dev.

• Yellow Lentil Khichdi: Many people think that khichdi made of yellow lentils (like moong or arhar) can be eaten on Thursday, but astrology forbids this too. According to beliefs, eating yellow khichdi on Thursday weakens the Lord Jupiter in a person’s horoscope.

Invites money loss and poverty

Weakness of Jupiter in the horoscope has a direct and fatal impact on a person’s knowledge, fortune and his financial condition. Due to the weakness of Jupiter, the money kept in the house starts flowing like water, there is a recession in business and job and the accumulated capital gradually starts getting exhausted. The scriptures believe that eating Khichdi on this day can lead to poverty in the house, hence even today this rule is strictly followed in many Sanatan families.

Today is the best day to worship Lord Satyanarayan and Guru.

Thursday is considered the best day for spiritual progress, knowledge and immense success in career. On this day people remember their spiritual gurus and organize special stories and worship of Lord Satyanarayan. For happiness, prosperity and progress in life, there is a rule to keep fast on Thursday, wear yellow clothes, worship Lord Vishnu and banana tree with gram pulses and jaggery.
