In Sanatan Dharma, while worshiping God, the tradition of offering Nevaidya i.e. Bhog (Bhog of God) to God is going on. Devotees please God by offering their desired food to their deity. Special dishes are offered to God, especially during Teej festivals and auspicious programs held at home. But many people do not fully know the importance of offering a Bhog and its rules, so it is important to know what are the correct rules regarding the blog being offered to God. It is believed that only by following these rules (Prasad offering rules) your bhog will come in an acceptable condition and God will be pleased. Many times while offering Bhog unknowingly, such mistakes are made that the fruit of the blog goes in vain.
Prasad Offering Rules
Along with worshiping the deities in the house, there is a ritual of offering Bhog. Many people offer different types of Bhog to God in Teej festivals. It is believed that a blog must be offered while worshiping God. Only then the worship is considered complete. But many times they make some mistakes while offering Bhog. Due to this God gets angry. Know what things are very important to keep in mind while offering such a Bhog.
Everyone knows that God should be offered Bhog, but do you know why it should be offered? If not, then today we are going to tell you about this based on the information given by our expert astrologer Chirag Bejan Daruwalla.
Serving pure and proper food to God (Vastu rules for placing God’s idol) is a form of worshiping Him. According to the glory of God, he is offered Bhog and there is no place for unholy food in his Bhog.
We eat pure food, then God is offered pure food. However, the reason for offering food to God with emotion comes first, later the logic of our eating pure food takes place.
Explain that the reason behind offering food to God is not only religious, but the logic behind it also has the basis of Ayurveda and Vastu Shastra. According to Ayurveda, there is harmony in one’s mind while preparing food for God.
This harmony keeps a person happy from within and removes the tension in his mind. There is love in the food prepared for God. For this reason, a person feels happy and the effect of mental illness starts reducing.
On the other hand, if we talk according to Vastu Shastra, food defects can be removed by eating food after offering food to God. That is, whatever grain defects arise due to the expenditure of food grains, due to the wrong place of the food store, the picture of Maa Annapurna (rules for placing the picture of Maa Annapurna) in the wrong place, etc. goes.
Talking about the rules of offering food to God, a plate of food should always be kept on the right side of God. Water must be kept along with the food plate. God’s plate should be different from other utensils.
While offering food to God, keep in mind that the place to keep the plate should be clean. Do not forget to sprinkle pure water before keeping the plate. After offering food to God, eat that food yourself and also feed your family.
