Diwali: Sadhana for Wealth
On Diwali, place small heaps of wheat on both sides of your main entrance and light two lamps on them. If possible, let them burn throughout the night. This will enhance happiness and prosperity in your home.
It is important not to put oil or ghee in a raw clay lamp. Soak the lamps in water for six hours before use; some people mistakenly ruin them by adding ghee.
A simple sadhana for attracting wealth involves performing it for three days, starting from Diwali until Bhai Dooj. In a clean room, burn incense (not chemical-based, but cow dung-based) and light a lamp while wearing yellow clothes. Apply a tilak of saffron on your forehead and chant the following mantra with a crystal bead mala every morning:
Om Namo Bhagyalakshmyai Cha Vidmahe, Ashtalakshmyai Cha Dhimahi, Tanno Lakshmi Prachodayat.
Ashoka trees and neem leaves have disease-repelling properties. Hanging neem, mango, or ashoka leaves at the entrance is considered auspicious.
Dhanteras
Dhanteras falls on October 29, Tuesday. According to the Skanda Purana, those who light lamps on Dhanteras will overcome untimely death. Worshipping external wealth on this day brings prosperity, peace, and internal joy. The wealth obtained through devotion leads to eternal happiness, whether it be financial wealth, livestock, or wisdom. By lighting lamps on Dhanteras, one seeks spiritual fulfillment.
Benefits of Ekadashi Vrat
Ekadashi occurs from October 27, 05:23 AM to October 28, 07:50 AM. It is advisable to observe a fast (upavas) on Ekadashi.
The merit gained from fasting on Ekadashi is manifold compared to that gained through charitable acts during a solar eclipse. Fasting on Ekadashi frees ancestors from lower realms and brings happiness to the family, ensuring peace and prosperity. It enhances wealth, prosperity, and increases devotion, making life joyful.
Historically, kings like Nahusha, Ambarisha, and Gadhi, who observed Ekadashi, attained all worldly wealth. Lord Shiva stated that fasting on Ekadashi erases the sins of seven births, and this is without doubt. The merit from fasting and charitable acts on Ekadashi is infinite.
