In this difficult fast which lasts for three days, mothers fast. Many types of rules and traditions are played during the fast and even after passing. One of these important tradition is the immersion of Jitiya thread worn in the fast. Many mothers do not know where and how this thread should be immersed after the fast. Let’s know the rules related to the correct immersion of this thread.
What is Jitiya’s thread?
A special thread or chilli is worn during Jitia fast, which is called Jitiya thread. This thread is usually silk or cotton and has some lumps. Women observing fast wear it in their throat or hand after receiving blessings from God during worship. This thread is considered a symbol of the safety of the child and is worn throughout the fast.
When and how to remove the thread after the fast?
This thread is removed only after passing the Jitiya fast. The thread should not be removed before passing the fast, because it is an integral part of the fast. After passing, the mothers can reverse this thread with their throat or hand. While removing this thread, one should wish for the long life and welfare of the child in the mind.
The correct rules of thread immersion
Immersion in river or pond: The best place to immerse Jitiya thread is the water of a holy river or pond. According to religious beliefs, immersing in water brings back the positive energy contained in this thread in nature. While flowing it, Lord Surya and Jeevatrika Devi should be prayed for their children.
Near Peepal tree: If there is no river or pond around you, then you can keep this thread under a peepal tree. Peepal tree is considered revered and is considered similar to Devasthan. By keeping the thread near the root of the tree, the virtuous fruit of the fast is obtained.
What not to do?
Do not throw the dustbin: Jitiya thread should never be thrown at dustbin or any unholy place. It is considered an insult to the sanctity and faith of the fast. By doing this, the fruit of the fast can be destroyed.
Do not keep at home: This thread should not be kept in any corner in the house for a long time. It should be duly immersed immediately after the fast.
Do not burn: According to religious beliefs, it is not considered appropriate to burn any revered object. Avoid burning the thread.
