Diwali, the joyous festival of lights celebrated on November 12 this year, brings with it a radiant atmosphere, vibrant decorations, and the worship of Goddess Lakshmi. As devotees revel in the five-day festivities, the question arises: what to do with the lamps once the celebrations conclude? Unnao’s esteemed astrologer, Pt. Rishikant Mishra, shares insightful tips on post-Diwali lamp handling to maintain positive energy and harmony within the home.
Preserving Positive Energy: Keeping Five Lamps
Pt. Rishikant Mishra suggests preserving five lamps within the house post-Diwali, emphasizing that this practice helps eliminate negative energy. To spread joy and prosperity, it is advised to distribute the remaining lamps among children. This symbolic act fosters an environment of happiness, peace, and prosperity while dispelling sorrows.
Embracing Nature: Floating Lamps in Water Bodies
For those seeking an alternative, Pt. Rishikant Mishra recommends floating the lamps in rivers or water bodies. However, a word of caution is given against keeping numerous lamps in the house after Diwali, as it may inadvertently increase negativity, potentially disrupting the harmony and joy brought by the festival.
Concealing Negativity: Hide Them Within
Another approach is to conceal the lamps within the home, keeping them out of sight. Pt. Rishikant Mishra advises against leaving the house after lighting the lamps, deeming it inauspicious and potentially leading to unfavorable outcomes. Hiding the lamps internally serves as a practical solution to this belief.
Spreading Goodness: Donate The Lamps
An auspicious practice is to donate the lamps used during Diwali. Pt. Rishikant Mishra highlights that such acts attract happiness, fulfill wishes, and ensure the continued presence of Goddess Lakshmi in one’s home. Donating the lamps is not only a generous gesture but also a way to extend the positive energy of Diwali to others.
As you bid farewell to the festivities, consider these meaningful ways to handle your Diwali lamps, transforming them from mere decorations into sources of positive energy and goodwill.
