Why is cooking food in the kitchen without taking bath considered extremely inauspicious? Know the Vaastu rules behind it, scientific reasons and effect on health


In Sanatan Dharma, Astrology and Vastu Shastra, the kitchen is considered not just a place for preparing food, but the most sacred place in the house. Goddess ‘Maa Annapurna’, the presiding deity of wealth, grains and food, resides in the kitchen. Since ancient times, there has been a tradition in our scriptures that one should never enter the kitchen or cook food without taking bath. According to Vastu Shastra, cooking food without taking bath increases the negative energy of the kitchen, which displeases Mother Annapurna and Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. By doing this, financial crisis, distress and poverty starts residing in the house without any reason.

The importance of food and the impact of the person preparing the food on the members of the family.

The saying ‘like the food, like the mind’ is very famous in the scriptures. It is believed that the physical and mental condition of the person cooking the food has a direct impact on the food that all the members of the family consume. When a person cooks food in an impure state without taking bath, his laziness, negative energy and impurity enter the food. Consuming such food increases irritability, mental disturbance and differences among family members. This is the reason why it is advisable to take bath before cooking food and then light the stove with a happy heart.

Scientific viewpoint: Direct impact on hygiene, bacteria and health

There are not only religious or Vaastu reasons behind this rule of not cooking without bathing, but there is also a deep scientific and health related perspective hidden behind it. After sleeping overnight, sweat, dead cells and microscopic bacteria accumulate in our body, skin and hair. When a person goes straight to the kitchen and cooks food without taking a bath, these harmful bacteria get transferred to food items, utensils and vegetables through hands and clothes. This can lead to food contamination, which increases the risk of family members suffering from stomach diseases, infections, food poisoning and digestive system problems.
