Golden Rules for the Day

1. Never wear crumpled clothes. Don't leave heaps of clothes unwashed or washed. Fold them immediately as negatives come and get accumulated in the same

2. Washing clothes on Thursdays reduces the prosperity of the house gradually
Unfolded clothes and crumpled clothes indicate unorganized energies, they attract more negative then positive. Clean and neatly ironed clothes, atleast folded if not ironed should be worn for Shree kataksha.

Thursday is called as Lakshmivaar as per Lakshmi Puraana.
On Thursdays one should avoid washing clothes and involve in cleaning home and decorate for her Aagaman. She visits the home on Thursday evenings 🙏🏼

Always think of me, be devoted to me, worship me, and offer obeisance to me. Doing so, you will certainly come to me. This is my pledge to you, for you are very dear to me. - #श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता 18.65

Shree Krishna makes Bhakti the top-most by this verse.
This total surrender is in fact the HIGHEST FORM OF BHAKTI of the nine forms of it mentioned in Srimadbhagavatam (7.5.23-24) :

(1) śravaṇa ("listening" to the scriptural stories of Krishna and his companions)
(2) kīrtana ("praising"; usually refers to ecstatic group singing),
(3) smaraṇa ("remembering" or fixing the mind on Vishnu) (4) pāda-sevana(rendering service)
(5) arcana (worshiping an image)
(6) vandana (paying homage)
(7) dāsya (servitude)
(8) sākhya (friendship)
(9) ātma-nivedana (complete surrender of the self).

Tripundra Dhaaran - Paapa Vimukti

Our generations are fascinated about Tripundram being just a religious symbol. There are in depth meanings of such a Tilak on a Seeker's Forehead
The very first mistake is the way it is applied.

Tripund isn't applied with dry Bhasm, it should be made wet and then applied in a prescribed manner with proper use of fingers and direction of application. Bhasm is collected from various sources
The most important ones mentioned in upanishats are 1. Yagnya Kund Bhasm 2. Bhasm made from Cow's Dung alone. A special agnihotram was perform to save the Bhasma after that for Dhaarana. A major mantra while applying bhasm is Mrutyunjaya Mantra
