As Diwali 2024 approaches, it’s time to rejuvenate your home and spirit by following the age-old tradition of spring cleaning. Cleaning before Diwali is considered essential to remove negative energy and welcome prosperity, peace and health into your home. Shri Krishna Guruji offers practical and spiritual cleaning tips to help you prepare your home for the festival of lights.
1. Shoe and chemical cleaning
Let’s start with shoes. Discard unused, broken or worn shoes, especially if they have not been used for a long time. Organize and clean frequently used items. It’s time to let go of unnecessary things and make space for a new beginning.
Tip: Check for expired medications and throw them away. Do not store unnecessary items in your home as they can carry stagnant energy.
2. Electronics, clothing, and statues
Non-working electronics often clutter. Repair or recycle gadgets and devices that no longer work. Don’t forget to donate old clothes to the poor instead of exchanging them for tableware. Guruji reminds us that there is no need for an overstock of idols either. If you have multiple idols in your prayer room, consider submerging the extra idols in a river or well.
3. Photography and food cleaning
Do not keep photos of your deceased ancestors in your pooja room. These should be placed outside the prayer area, ideally facing north. Additionally, check your kitchen and pantry for expired food. Get rid of old products to prevent negative energy and promote a healthy and vibrant home.
4. Diwali sweets and savouries
There’s a spiritual meaning to making sweets at home for Diwali, but if you don’t have time, outsource the preparation. However, preparing even small dishes at home pleases Goddess Annapurna and keeps the spirit of the festival alive.
5. Diwali greetings
This Diwali, instead of saying ‘Happy Diwali’, greet your loved ones with ‘Shubh Diwali’ or ‘Shubh Deepavali’. Guruji advises us to use traditional greetings that bring blessings and prosperity to all.
6. Self-cleaning action
Cleaning your home is essential, but purifying your inner self is equally important. Detox your body with pranayama (breathing techniques). Guruji recommends practicing pranayama regularly to detoxify the mind and body from within. You can follow breathing exercises from Krishna Guruji’s YouTube playlist ‘Pranayama’.
final thoughts
Through these simple yet powerful cleaning tips, Shri Krishna Guruji aims to help you cleanse yourself of all unnecessary energies this Diwali season. May you and your family be blessed with peace, prosperity, and joy.
The DAH family wishes you a Happy Shubh Deepavali!
