      It does not have to be such a complex decision. Just light the lamp with a smile and good intention. Positive attitude alone can help bring all auspicious qualities into the house.
      Even if your mind is not on it, the light will align your thoughts soon enough.
      If you want to specifically think about some wish, you may, but it is not mandatory in my opinion.

If it is not in resonance with the intended activity, it is not recommended. So, sunflower oil may attract some unwanted energies, which is why it is forbidden.

      Hari Om. You may look up information on Akhand jyoti. It is usually lit during certain festival times like Navaratri. It aids one s devotion and concentration. But if you want to keep it constantly lit, there are practices to be followed which you need to learn from learned people. Generally, one is recommended to light lamps morning and evening alone for homes. You may choose to keep it burning for a long period. But once you extinguish before you leave the house it is better to light only in the evening or following morning.once lit it can stay on all day, but relight only at given times. Other times are not recommended for God worship. Hope that answers your question.

      @freidenker, it is not easily available in India either. Worse still, many adulterated ones with chemical fragrances too are very popular. But don t worry, it is equally beneficial to stick to single oils. Most traditional households have used a chosen oil for centuries. Either ghee, sesame or coconut oil. Otherwise they use ghee on some days and the other oils on the other days. Each of the ones I have mentioned in the video are special for specific effects. In fact some schools of thought believe in keeping the oils separate and lighting each in a different lamp if required.

    what times do you light a lamp ?Sadhguru says light it whole night also ..

    • @VedikHeritage
      @VedikHeritage  Год назад

      A lamp is lit for many reasons. Usually it is lit at sandhya kala, morning and evening. From before sunrise upto 3.5 hours post sunrise, it can be lit. Similarly, from before sunset to post sunset.
      When lit as part of a Puja ritual, it may be lit to start the ritual and put off after the ritual is complete. If lit as a daily practice, it can follow the sandhya pattern in order to invite Lakshmi Devi, the energy Chi, who moves at that time.
      Traditionally, lamps were lit outside the house too and at night, to ward away evil and bugs etc. Sadguru talks about that when he says light at night. When evil or negative energies are about, the lamp keeps them away and gives you a good night s rest.

      😂🤣. Understandable if you re not used to the smell of ghee, it can be difficult. Plus, enclosed areas can enhance the smell. 😃.
      Alternative oils are coconut or sesame. Again strong odours. One other option which can help us, is to add an essential oil to the ghee like sandal, lemon etc. Traditionally we also add a tiny tiny amount of camphor to the oil or ghee, it has a divine fragrance too.
      Out of all these options, choose the one which suits your nose 🤥. But the observance of lighting a lamp has proven benefits. Hope you can find a way to help you follow it. Best wishes 🙏🏽
