Rules to be observed while lighting lamps in a templ

Dear diya,
Donot worry about the incidence.
Only lighting the lamp is our part.
Burning is inthe hands of god.
God may protected u from some bad things by extinguishing tne lamp.
The evil thing may gone thru that. So donot worry.
Lighting lamp in temple is to tell our prayers to god even if we forget to tell him.
Be happy.

 

Dear All

While lighting a lamp Tell the sloga

Swagam swagam Swagam Mahalakshmi

read in one magazine

Basuradhu

 

hi

lucky sangeetha: the quote by dalai lama is so soothing.
thanks for sharing it.

generally my mom tells me that lighting lamps takes away all our sins.

 

Basuradhu, i think it should be 'swagatham' instead of swagam.

dear Saisakthi, You have mentioned to select a wick that will not burn completely. This is the question in my mind for very long time. Could you please throw more light on this? I light the diya which burns in the centre which prevents any wick from burning. But during Karthik Mahina deepam festival, I light earthen lamps in which the wicks burn completely. Your response on selecting the appropriate wick will be of great help.
