Whenever we go to the temple or attend a religious event, we are always advised to take offerings with right hand. Today we know what is the religious and astrological reason behind this rule.
Religious and astrological significance of right hand
According to religious scholars and astrology, the right hand is considered a symbol of auspicious energy and sun. In contrast, the left hand represents the lunar and hidden energy. This is the reason that all auspicious and religious works like worship, aarti, offering and receiving prasad are done with the right hand. By doing this, positive energy flows in a person’s life, the grace of God is received and the stalled work starts to be completed.
Is the left hand inauspicious?
According to astrology experts, the left hand is not inauspicious or unholy, but it is used for some special impure works, such as bathing or cleaning after defecation etc. This is the reason why left hand is not used in religious and auspicious works and it is considered inauspicious.
The right way to receive prasad
According to religious beliefs, there is also a special way to receive prasad. When you are offered prasad, then first thank God by washing hands or cleaning both hands. After that, take offerings with the right hand and apply it on the forehead devoutly. By doing this, one gets mental peace, positive energy and the grace of God.
