Ghatasthapana subah karein ya dopahar mein?

Ghatasthapana ka sahi samay hamesha Pratipada tithi ke pehle ek-tihayi hisse mein hota hai. 11 October 2026 ko Pratipada tithi subah se hi maujood hai, isliye pratah kaal ka samay sabse shubh hai. Halanki, is saal Chitra nakshatra aur Vaidhriti yoga ka prabhav bhi subah ke samay reh sakta hai. Shastron ke anusar, Chitra nakshatra aur Vaidhriti yoga mein kalash sthapana se bachna chahiye. Agar subah yeh dono yoga maujood hon, toh Abhijit muhurat mein ghatasthapana karni chahiye.

Abhijit muhurat dopahar mein lagbhag 11:44 AM se 12:30 PM ke beech rahega. Agar aap subah jaldi puja nahi kar pa rahe hain, toh yeh dopahar ka samay sabse uttam vikalp hai. Kabhi bhi Chitra nakshatra ke rehte bina Abhijit muhurat ke dopahar mein sthapana na karein. Raat ke samay ghatasthapana karna puri tarah varjit hai. Sahi muhurat ka chayan karne ke liye aap apne kshetr ke pandit ji se bhi paramarsh le sakte hain kyunki sthaniye suryoday ke anusar samay mein thoda badlav ho sakta hai. Bhakti mein bhav pradhan hai, lekin shastriya niyam ka palan karne se shubh fal milte hain.

Common Mistakes During Navratri

Navratri ki pooja mein bhakt aksar anjane mein kuch galtiyan kar dete hain jisse bacha jana chahiye. In baton ka dhyan rakhne se aapki pooja nishfal nahi hogi.

• Galat Disha: Kalash sthapana hamesha Ishan kon (North-East) mein karni chahiye, dakshin disha mein mukh karke pooja na karein.
• Plastik ka Upyog: Pooja mein plastik ke bartan ya gande kapdo ka prayog bilkul na karein, hamesha mitti, tambe ya pital ke bartan istemal karein.
• Akhand Jyoti: Agar aapne akhand jyoti jalayi hai, toh ghar ko kabhi khali na chhodein aur usme ghee ya tel ka dhyan rakhte rahein.
• Baasi Phool: Maa ko hamesha taje phool chadhayein, murjhaye huye ya zameen par gire phoolon ka prayog varjit hai.
• Vrat ka Khana: Vrat ke khane mein sadharan namak ki jagah hamesha sendha namak ka hi prayog karein aur tamsik bhojan se dur rahein.
