TIME TO ATTRACT GOOD LUCK TO YOUR HOME
In India, from November 10 to 14, the vibrant festival of Deepavali is held - a holiday of good luck, wealth and health!
This is a great opportunity to occupy yourself with positive activities, stop the flow of restless thoughts and attract prosperity to your family!
The history of this holiday began a long time ago - an Indian astrologer predicted the death of a prince from a snake bite on the night of his 16th birthday. But the prince's wife was very smart and loved her husband very much. She figured out how to outwit fate. On the fateful night, the girl laid out all her jewelry and decorations at the entrance to the prince's bedroom. She lit the room with lamps so that every corner of the room was visible and began to sing songs and read poetry in a sweet voice so that her husband would not fall asleep.
At the appointed hour, the Lord of Death appeared in the form of a snake. Because of the bright light and shine of the jewelry, he went blind and could not enter the room, climbed onto the jewelry and listened to the songs as if spellbound. This continued until dawn. The snake did not bite the prince, and he remained alive!
With the appearance of the sun, the Lord of Death had to go back. Since, according to the prophecy, the prince could only be bitten by a snake at night. So he survived thanks to the love and wisdom of his wife.
What to do to attract wealth and luck during these days?
• Thoroughly clean the house. After all, prosperity does not come to a dirty house!
• Decorate the house inside and out with flowers, luminous garlands and lamps.
• Husbands should give their wives gold or silver, jewelry made of precious stones.
• Buy coins and dishes made of precious metals as symbols of prosperity in the house.
Prayers will enhance the favorable influence of these days:
- After sunset, devotees pray to Lakshmi, the Goddess of Prosperity, to obtain her blessings and wealth;
- pray to Ganesha to remove obstacles to prosperity and success;
- offer prayers to Dhanvantari, the god of ancient Ayurvedic medicine, so that he grants health to all family members and loved ones;
- Kubera - the god of wealth and keeper of treasures.
