In every Indian household, the day often begins with sweeping and mopping. But did you know that this daily act of cleanliness also holds deep spiritual significance?
According to Hindu beliefs, sweeping is not just a way to clean the home but a practice that can influence the flow of energy. The broom is considered sacred and is associated with Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity.
As per Vastu Shastra and other religious texts, sweeping in the morning is believed to bring spiritual energy and attract the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. Experts suggest that saying specific positive phrases while sweeping can help remove not just physical dirt but also poverty, stress, and negativity from the home.
Astrologers recommend repeating affirmations like: “Diseases are leaving our home”, “Poverty is going away with the garbage”, and “All troubles and stress are leaving the house.” Repeating such thoughts silently during sweeping is believed to create a positive mental atmosphere and spiritual upliftment for the family.
It is advised that only a member of the household should perform the morning sweeping ritual while chanting these affirmations, even if a housemaid takes over cleaning duties later. The intention and energy of a family member are considered essential in this practice.
This act is treated as a prayer, not just a chore. While sweeping, one should keep in mind that negativity is being removed and abundance is being invited. Saying words like, “Maa Lakshmi, please bless us”, helps instil faith, raise morale, and bring mental peace.
Using simple affirmations like “Welcome Goddess Lakshmi; go away poverty” while sweeping, followed by sprinkling Gangajal around the house, is said to cleanse the environment and boost positive energy.
Phrases such as “May all quarrels and pain leave, may our home be full of love and happiness” are believed to invite harmony and abundance. Regularly practising this mindful approach to a daily task can lead to noticeable positive changes in the household over time.
