Its really a news to me. In my small town where I am put up there is a Kalikaamba temple with Srichakra which is flooded by women on both Tuesdays and Fridays to light lamps using lemon for 5, 9, 12, 16, 24 and 48 weeks respectively. On the last day poojari of that temple gives some rice from the feet of the Goddess to throw on the roof of our house. Even in my hometown I had this practice of lighting lemon lamps. Now I am in dilemma. Its your responsible to clear that - iamshree (just kidding). Blindly we should not believe anything and at the same time deny anything. Anybody give reason please for believing and denying.

 

Dear Iamsrihere,
I know many people doing it here at their homes, but I have also heard that we should not do it at home. We need to observe "Shuddham and Madi" - this is what I have heard, because Lemon lamp is lit for Durga and She is supposed to be very powerful. The lemon lamp lighting is done in many Devi temples during Rahu kalam on Tuesdays & Fridays.
Some senior members can clarify this doubt.
Om Sri Sai Ram

 

Dear Sisters,

Lighting Lemon Lamps during RahuKaal is being there since yesteryears for MAA Durga, the three days Tuesday, Friday and Sunday are very effective, Yes!!! it is not for Home Pooja Mandhir, but only at temples.

There may be small temples close by, but even if you Don't Have MAA Durga you can still light visualizing her, Rituals sometimes gets added when someone starts it and finds it successful and sometimes spread wrong signals for something which is already existing if it has not been favorable to them (their dedication counts).

Whatever you do please be devoted, that is what is expected of a devotee. May Baba and MAA Durga make it clear in the minds of others who are spreading wrong signals, JMO

BEST WISHES, HAPPY POOJA

 

Rahu pooja's are very powerful whether is done for Durga or shiva, certain things are Better done when there is enough power mto digest it, temple is an example of it. At home we have kids, baby , girls etc. may be that's why

For example during eclipse all temples are closed except sri kalahasti temple . This is due to the diff energy movement.

 

Yeah, even I have seen so many lemon lamps when I go to the Amman temple near my house on Fridays and Saturdays.

The first time I saw this was at MelMaravathur temple, but I really did not know any specific reasons for this.
