Deepawali also called Diwali is one of the most widely celebrated Sanatan Hindu festivals across the world. Also popularly known as the festival of lights, Deepawali comes with lots of hope and wishes for Hindus. This is the time when each Hindu household is illuminated with diyas and lights to celebrate the victory of good over evil. The lights of Deepawali also signify a victory of brightness over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.
Purchasing new things is one of the major parts of Sanatan Hindu festivals and celebrations. And when it is Deepawali, it is even more. There are many traditional beliefs followed in different parts of Bharat for generations. Usually, Dhanteras is the day when people make many purchases for their household and also for gifting purposes. Hindus also buy items of decoration for their house to decorate for the occasion. It is the time to create a positive atmosphere all around. So, even the purchase of items should be done thoughtfully so that every purchase brings positivity and good fortune into your lives.
However, many times we make purchases that should be avoided during Deepawali as they are not considered auspicious for the occasion. Here we will look into the astrological and Vedic standpoints on what not to bring home to avoid negative energy flowing into the house during Diwali. We will see what are the items that can create disharmony during this auspicious time.
Broken Items
Broken or damaged items are never considered auspicious be it any day or any time of the year. So, always check what you are bringing to your home in advance. Usually, nobody goes out to purchase damaged items, but many times unknowingly we take home damaged items from some place for some purpose thinking they can be of some use. According to Vedic tradition, broken or damaged items carry negative energy that can create obstacles in your life and may become unfortunate for you leading to suffering. So, fix them or replace them before the festival. Even if you have broken items in your house, make sure you have discarded them. Refrain from gifting them too.
Unnecessary Items
Deepawali is the time when you make your home free from unnecessary items and declutter it. So, avoid bringing unnecessary items and cluttering your home again on this auspicious occasion. Unnecessary items create clutters and disrupt the flow of positive energy in the house, leading to mental disturbance. As per traditional and astrological beliefs, a clutter-free space creates a harmonious ambience.
Sharp Objects
Avoid buying or bringing sharp objects like scissors, knives, garden tools and other sharp tools. Refrain from gifting too on Diwali. These are symbols of conflicts and disturbances as per astrology. So, simply stay away from sharp objects to create a harmonious atmosphere at home.
Black Clothes
Sanatan Hindu festivals are a display of bright and beautiful colours that make the atmosphere and surroundings look bright. Red, pink, orange and yellow are considered auspicious colours, while black and all shades of black are considered inauspicious and symbolise negativity as per Vedic traditions. Even blue and green are avoided on many occasions. Dark colours are also associated with sorrow. So, make sure, you avoid all shades of black during Deepwali. Black or any dark colour is believed to bring negative energies and may even create an imbalance in the ambience when you are trying to attract positive vibes during Diwali. Refrain from gifting them too.
Second-Hand Items
Refrain from buying or gifting second-hand items during Deepawali. Reusing old items is a good idea as it promotes sustainable living. But as per Vedic beliefs, second-hand items carry the energy of their previous owners which may not be good for you. Deepawali is all about new beginnings, so buying second-hand items may not go well with your idea of newness and a fresh start.
Plastics and Glass Items
Avoid buying plastic and glass items as they are considered inauspicious. As per Vedic astrology, brass, bronze, silver and gold are auspicious metals and materials. So utensils made of anything are not advised for purchase during Diwali.
Leather and Bone Items
Since leather and bone are produced by killing animals and taken out of animal carcasses, items made of both are considered inauspicious for Deepawali purchases.
Diwali is all about new beginnings and revitalisation of the energy in your home and workplace. You need to be very careful about certain things because as per astrology every item around us has some energy that can be either positive or negative. Whether you are buying for personal use or gifting purposes, make sure during this festive season, it is essential to pick items that will create a favourable atmosphere for you and your loved ones. Avoiding the items listed above can help you maintain a positive and harmonious atmosphere in your home during this festive season. Diwali is more than possessing items. Do not force yourself to buy things just because others are buying. Do not get into the rat race of possessing unnecessary assets just because your neighbour or your friend has them. Make a conscious decision, about whether you need it and how you will use it once bought. Think in the same manner while gifting friends and colleagues. It will help you create a positive atmosphere around you and your loved ones.
