Along with worship, aarti and mantra chanting have special importance in Hindu religion. Any puja is incomplete without them. At the same time, many people open their eyes and chant God’s aarti or mantra. Some people do this work with closed eyes.
Have you ever wondered which rule or method is correct? Let us tell you that this is mentioned in Skanda and Padma Purana. So let us know which is the right method?
In fact, when we keep our eyes open and see the idol of God during Aarti and chanting mantras, we get a lot of virtue from it. Due to this the person feels connected to God and soul. It is written in Skanda and Padma Purana that by performing Aarti with closed eyes, a person gets countless results. In such a situation, when you close your eyes, this experience may remain incomplete.
Performing Aarti with closed eyes or chanting mantras cannot be called wrong. Some people want to connect with the idol through their mind. This is the right thing for them to do. Whenever we close our eyes, we are immediately cut off from every outside energy. In such a situation, no negative energy from outside is able to attract us towards itself.
As soon as we disconnect from external energy, we immediately become aware of the energy within us. By doing this we are able to focus on the senses of the body. Many people also call this a high level of devotion. At the same time, some people believe that if our eyes are open then our mind will definitely wander and we will pay attention to the things around us again and again. In such a situation, everything becomes easier by closing the eyes while chanting aarti or mantra. Overall, if we chant the Aarti and Mantra with a calm mind whether our eyes are closed or open, then we will feel the energy of that Aarti and Mantra in the right way. This experience is different in itself.
