While leaving home for some important work, our eyes suddenly fall on something which we usually ignore. In Indian folk traditions, many such things have been associated with auspicious and inauspicious signs. One of these is broom. This simple thing, which is used daily for cleaning the house, is also linked to Goddess Lakshmi in religious beliefs.
It is believed that if you suddenly see a broom while leaving the house, especially when someone is cleaning with it, then it is not considered to be the same auspicious sign everywhere. In some folk beliefs, it has been linked to wealth and home energy.
Why is seeing a broom considered inauspicious?
According to religious beliefs, it is not a good sign to see a broom in front of you while leaving the house for any auspicious or important work. The belief behind this is that at the time when a person is starting some work, the sight of taking out the dirt can be a sign of obstruction or delay in the work.
Why is the broom associated with Goddess Lakshmi?
In Hindu tradition, broom is considered a means of removing dirt and negativity from the house. For this reason, it is associated with Goddess Lakshmi, because a clean house is believed to bring happiness and prosperity. In many families even touching the broom with one’s feet is avoided. Also, sweeping the house is prohibited in the evening.
Should work be stopped because of this?
It is not right to stop your important work just because a broom is visible. These beliefs can be seen as part of our old traditions and cultural thinking. The success of any work depends more on your hard work, right decisions and preparation.
