Chaitra Navratri 2023 Akhand Jyoti: There is the importance of lighting Akhand Jyoti for nine days in Navratri. The extinguishing of unbroken light is inauspicious. But if for some reason the unbroken light gets extinguished in the middle, then what to do in such a situation?
Akhand Jyoti is lit in all the Navratris that fall in Chaitra and Sal. Akhand Jyoti means such a light which is not divided. Mata Rani is pleased by lighting Akhand Jyoti during Navratri and with her blessings happiness and prosperity prevail at home. Along with this, wishes are also fulfilled by lighting the Akhand Jyoti.
There are many rules for lighting Akhand Jyoti and full care should be taken while lighting it. Because extinguishing unbroken light is not auspicious. But if the Akhand Jyoti gets extinguished in the middle due to some reason or if the Akhand Jyoti gets extinguished again and again, then what should be done in such a situation?
The frequent extinguishing of Akhand Jyoti is considered a sign of inauspiciousness. If the Akhand Jyoti goes out, first of all, apologize to the mother. Also, light a small lamp next to Akhand Jyoti. If the Akhand Jyoti gets extinguished due to any reason, then with this lamp you can light the Akhand Jyoti.
In the scriptures, the rules of lighting the Akhand Jyoti have been mentioned, which must be followed. If for some reason the light has gone out, do not light the lamp by putting the wick in it again. Because after extinguishing this flame is considered fragmented. If you add another wick to the burning lamp itself, then your light will not be broken.
