Ghar Par Kalash Sthapana (Ghatasthapana) Kaise Karein?
Ghatasthapana Navratri ke pehle din ki sabse mahatvapurna vidhi hai. Ise hamesha shubh muhurat mein hi karna chahiye, kyunki yeh Maa Durga ka aavahan (invitation) hota hai.
Kalash Sthapana ki Samagri List
Puja shuru karne se pehle yeh samagri ikattha kar lein:
Mitti ka patra (jisme Jau bone hain)
Suddh mitti aur Jau (Barley)
Tambe ya mitti ka kalash
Jal aur Gangajal
Sikka, supari, haldi ki ganth, aur akshat (chawal)
5 ya 7 aam (mango) ke patte
Ek paani wala nariyal aur laal chunri
Kalawa (Mouli)
Simple Puja Vidhi Step-by-Step
Sthan Pavitra Karein: Jis jagah kalash rakhna hai, wahan safaai karke thoda Gangajal chhidkein. Wahan ek choti chauki rakhein aur us par laal kapda bichhayein.
Jau Boyein: Mitti ke patra mein thodi mitti daalein, us par Jau daalein, aur fir thodi mitti se cover kar dein. Ise chauki par rakhein.
Kalash Taiyar Karein: Kalash mein jal, Gangajal, ek sikka, supari, aur akshat daalein. Kalash ke gale par kalawa baandhein.
Patte aur Nariyal: Kalash ke mooh par aam ke patte rakhein. Nariyal ko laal chunri se lapet kar aur kalawa baandh kar patto ke beecho-beech kalash par sthapit karein.
Aavahan: Kalash ko mitti wale patra (jisme Jau hain) ke beech mein rakhein. Ab hath jodkar Maa Durga ka dhyan karein aur unse agle 9 din aapke ghar mein vaas karne ki prarthana karein.
Navratri Vrat Ke Niyam: Kya Khayein aur Kya Nahi?
Navratri ka vrat sirf khana chhodna nahi hai, balki sharir aur man ki shuddhi karna hai. Agar aap 9 din ka vrat rakh rahe hain, toh in baato ka dhyan rakhein:
Kya Khayein:
Kuttu (Buckwheat) ya Singhare (Water chestnut) ka atta.
Sabudana, makhana, aur samak ke chawal.
Fresh fruits, dry fruits, aur doodh.
Namak mein sirf Sendha Namak (Rock salt) ka istemal karein.
Kya Na Khayein:
Anaj (Wheat/Rice) vrat mein nahi khaya jata.
Pyaz (Onion) aur Lehsun (Garlic) puri tarah varjit (strictly prohibited) hain.
Non-vegetarian khana aur alcohol ka sevan bilkul na karein.
Tip: Vrat ke dauran apne thoughts ko positive rakhein aur gussa karne se bachein. Navratri spiritual growth ka samay hota hai.
