For those who call #Deepawali
a cultural celebration,
this thread is a- step by step must follow:
1- Begin with preparing your Pooja Sthal for invoking Shri Ganesh, Mata Lakshmi, Vishnu ji, Kuber ji, Navgrah Devtas, Shodsh Matrika, Kul Devi Devta, Kalash/ Varun Devta,Deep Devta.
2- After Aachman, Pavitri karan & Sankalp, invoke all the Devi Devtas,
First of all do Poojan, Snan & Abhishek of #Ganesh ji .
3- After Ganesh ji, do Poojan & Abhishek of Lakshmi ji.
4- Poojan Abhishek of Vishnu ji (we have Shaligram ji), other Deities/ Siddha Yantras next.
5- Next do the Aarti, the 13th step of the Shodashopchaar Pooja.
#Deepawali is a #HinduFestival not a cultural event!
6- Lighting up your home & surroundings with Deepaks, flowers & dressing yourself up is also a Traditional Ritual to welcome the Devi Devtas &
not a ‘me vs you’ decoration or fancy dress competition! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
7- Agni Yantra, Baan vraksha, Chanra jyoti i.e; pyrotechnics/ fireworks come after Pooja & giving daan dakshina
#Crackers are a part of the tradition of Akaash Deep daan- lighting up Mandirs,river banks& neighbourhood to ward off darken caused by Sun’s transit into Libra.
8- Celebration with not just family & friends, but also with the underprivileged whom even #ShriRam respected as equals, with the animals who befriend us from eternity- remember Yudhisthir’s dog whose blessing helped him ascend to heaven in Indra’s chariot? twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
.. families of our staff, the dhol walas.. all look forward every year to #Deepawali celebrations- the Pooja, gifts & lighting up crackers at our place.. share & be blessed. #ShubhDeepawali 🙏🏻 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#SharadPurnima - #KartikPurnima the month long #Hindufestivals based on historical events in different Yugs, occur on particular Ritus & astronomical conditions as per Hindu calender.
How many Christ- Muz follow the rituals from this thread if you call #Diwali cultural?
How many left liberals chris- muz fast on #RamaEkadashi if #Deepawali is not a #HinduFestival & ‘just a cultural festival of lights of secular India’?
How many perform Pooja Rituals on #Dhanteras like we #Hindus do?
Do Chis-Muz, pseudo left libs surrender themselves at #ShriKrishna ‘s feet on #NarakChaturdashi #GovardhanPooja ?
Call #Diwali ‘cultural’ only if you follow #Hindu Pooja Rituals❗️
Oh yes, & don’t give us gyan on ecology & environment because it is the #Hindu Shastra - #HinduFestivals that first gave the concept of ‘co existence & importance of Nature’ to the entire world❗️
What is #GovardhanPooja - a regressive ritual⁉️
