News India Live, Digital Desk: In Hindu religion, worship and meditation are considered a medium to connect with God. But many times you might have felt that as soon as you light the lamp and start chanting mantras or aarti, you suddenly start yawning or your eyes start getting sleepy and watery. Often people ignore it by considering it as fatigue or lack of sleep, but according to Shakun Shastra and spiritual beliefs, there are deep signs hidden behind yawning during worship. Let us know what this situation says about you.
1. Conflict of negative energy and thoughts
According to religious experts, yawning occurs during worship when our mind wanders in two different directions. If any fear, anxiety or negative thoughts have entered your mind, then they try to come out while worshiping God. Yawning during puja is a sign that there is a war going on between your inner ‘negativity’ and outer ‘positivity’.
2. Sign of God’s presence
Another belief is that when you worship with full concentration and suddenly tears start appearing in your eyes or yawning, it means that your prayers are reaching God. This is proof that your soul is being connected to God. Tears falling from the eyes is considered a symbol of purity of mind and unwavering faith.
3. Heaviness and influence of demonic powers
According to Shakun Shastra, if you start feeling heaviness or start falling asleep as soon as you start the puja, then it can be a sign that some negative forces are active around you or in the house. These forces try to stop you from worshiping so that you cannot reap spiritual benefits. In such a situation, a person should intensify his remembrance of God’s name.
4. Scientific reason for lack of concentration
Along with the spiritual aspects, there is also a psychological reason for this. If you sit in puja mindlessly or just to follow tradition, the brain does not get enough oxygen and yawning occurs. Yawning during puja also shows that your mind is not in the present but is entangled in the worries of the future or the past.
Preventive measures: How to increase concentration in worship?
Asana and purification: Before sitting in the puja, be pure by washing your hands and feet and always recite the prayer while sitting on a seat.
Pranayama: Do pranayama for 2-3 minutes before starting the puja. This will provide oxygen to the lungs and remove laziness.
Lamp and Fragrance: Light a lamp of pure ghee at the place of worship and use fragrant incense sticks like sandalwood or guggal. This removes negativity from the environment.
Silence and reverence: During puja, forget the things of the outside world and meditate only on your favorite deity.
