Chanakya’s knowledge

Acharya Chanakya is considered one of the leading scholars of Indian history. His ideas and principles still guide people in various aspects of life. According to Chanakya, some habits gradually push a person towards poverty. These habits not only bring financial constraints but also affect mental peace, social prestige and spiritual balance. In his Niti Shastra, he has mentioned such habits which can displease Goddess Lakshmi. Let’s take a look at these habits.


dirt

According to Chanakya, dirt is not just external dust, but it is also a symbol of negativity in life. When a person ignores the cleanliness of his surroundings, it affects his mind, thoughts and destiny. Dirt promotes laziness and negative energy, causing a person to lose good opportunities.

dirty clothes

People who always wear dirty clothes unknowingly invite bad luck into their lives. Chanakya believed that clean clothes and cleanliness not only improve one’s image but also bring positive energy.

bawdy house

According to Chanakya Niti, having garbage, spider webs or scattered things in the house is considered inauspicious. Negative energy circulates in such houses and happiness and prosperity gradually decreases.


dirty teeth

Acharya Chanakya paid special attention to cleaning teeth. He believed that dirty teeth were not only harmful to health, but also affected a person’s luck.

harsh words and anger

According to Chanakya, a person’s speech is both his biggest strength and weakness. The way of speaking can affect relationships and luck. When bitter words or anger dominate, fights and losses increase in life.

laziness

Those who sleep till after sunrise or remain lazy throughout the day lose opportunities. According to Acharya Chanakya, laziness is the biggest enemy of a person. A lazy person stays away from hard work, due to which he is unable to accumulate wealth.

extravagance

According to Chanakya, money is not only a means but also a responsibility. A person who ignores money and spends it unnecessarily never gets stability in life. Wasteful expenditure gradually leads a person towards financial crisis.
