In Hinduism, there is a tradition of doing religious work by considering fire as a witness. Even during Navratri, the unbroken light we burn are witness to your resolve, fast, worship and all religious rituals. Also, it is also a symbol of the practice of devotees towards the mother. Being extremely pure, there are many benefits of burning the unbroken light. It is said that burning it removes all kinds of negativity and enters happiness and peace in the house. By burning unbroken light, the environment of the house is also purified and increases prosperity.-Dr. Vipin Sharma, Jyotishacharya
Establishment of Akhand Jyoti
Akhand Jyot will also be established on the outpost you installed for the idol of Mother. For the establishment of Akhand Jyoti, first make a seat of Ashtadal i.e. eight petals flowers. If you want, you can also color Akshat with turmeric or red color. You can also make this Ashtadal directly at the post and make a unbroken flame on it by making it in a vessel. Now place the lamp on this Ashtadal. You can use soil or copper lamp to burn unbroken flame. After this you put wick in the lamp and add pure cow’s ghee. Apart from ghee, you can also use pure sesame oil. It is also believed that if the lamp is of ghee, it is burnt on the right side of the mother and if the lamp is of oil, it is lit on the left side. If you are using earthen lamps, then keep in mind that the wick should be facing towards the mother i.e. in the east direction. If the lamp is of copper, then the wick is always directly directly in it.
Akhand Jyoti Mantra
Bho Deep Devaswarupastvam Karma Sakshi Savighankrit. Yawatkarma ended: That is, you remain stable until the fast is over. In this way, the unbroken flame will be ignited at the place of worship. Now apply tilak to the lamp and offer them Akshat, Pushp, Roli, Molly and Bhog. Also, you apologize for your mistake and pray to him that he should keep burning for nine days in the same way. Pray to mother to protect Deepak as well. Take special care of the length of the wick, it should be so large that it continues to burn for nine days. It is said that in the unbroken flame, one and a half hand wick should be used, that is, its length should be from your hand to a little above the elbow.
What to do if the lamp is extinguished by mistake
We should try to keep the lamp lit as much as possible. If it is still extinguished, then by apologizing from Mata Rani, the unbroken Jyot should be ignited again. After this, the Goddess Crime Ksamma Stotra should be recited. Mata Rani is a world mother, she forgives the mistakes made by her devotees inadvertently.
What are the rules
If you are burning a lamp of clay, then make sure that the lamp is not fragmented. It is believed that burning the broken lamp brings poverty in the house. After the establishment of Akhand Jyoti, worship the lamp with mother daily. At the time of worship, you must also offer worship material and enjoyment to the unbroken Jyot. Along with this, take special care that once the unbroken flame is not completely closed after burning the unbroken flame. Also, after burning a monolithic light, it is necessary to have some member in the house. If you live alone or go out of work, you can get it installed in a temple, but never leave it alone.
mythology
Once fierce war broke out between the gods and demons. The gods emerged victorious in this war. Winning the war led to a blessing in his mind. All the gods began to consider themselves the best among the three worlds. When Goddess Durga saw the gods suffering from ego, she appeared in front of the gods in the form of Tej Punj. The gods were also nervous after seeing such a vast brown form of mother. Indradev sent Vayudev to know the secret of Tejpunj. Vayudev reached near Tej Punj after being crushed in the ego. Tej asked him to introduce him. Vayudev said that he described himself as a life of life. Tejwaroop Mata placed a straw in front of Vayadev and said that if you are really so superior and strong, then show this straw and show it. Even after applying all the power, Vayudev could not even shake the straw. Vayudev came back and told this to Indra. Indra then sent Agnidev to burn the straw, but Agnidev failed. Seeing this, Indradev’s pride was crushed. After this, he worshiped that Tej Pujunj and then the form of mother power appeared from Tejapunj. Mother told Indra that only by my grace, the gods have conquered the Asuras. In this way, all the gods do not destroy your virtue by coming in false pride. Hearing the words of the goddess, all the gods realized their mistake and all together worshiped Maa Durga.
