Dakshina Meaning: While giving dakshina or shagun to the priest, it is given with a coin of one rupee. While giving a beautifully designed envelope, if we looked at its corner, we could see a shiny one rupee coin stuck to it with glue. Have you ever wondered what is the importance of that small coin outside when there is a note of Rs 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 inside? A special reason behind this has been given by the famous astrologer Dr. Basavaraj Guruji.
Guruji says that while giving Shagun, it is customary to give one rupee extra in the amount given. It has a special significance. It is believed that zero does not symbolize the end, it may reflect a lack of completeness or development. But, “one” symbolizes beginning, growth and the sun. “You are moving from hundred to one, may your life be happy, keep moving forward” This is the wish expressed by this one rupee. It is a symbol of good luck.
‘zero’ ending factor
He said that ‘zero’ represents incompleteness. This one rupee symbolizes the wish for prosperity and progress in your life. It is a traditional symbol of financial support and good wishes. Thus, Guruji suggested that Shagun holds a deep meaning of financial support, strengthening of relationships and good wishes in our tradition.
According to cultural beliefs, Goddess Lakshmi herself is believed to reside in metal coins, hence giving a coin along with a note is a symbol of bringing good luck. It is believed that the recipient of the gift never has to remain empty handed in life and the wheel of his progress always turns with the hand of 1.
Give one rupee to save the relationship from breaking
You know that zero is considered the end, so by giving one rupee along with it, a new count starts. It is also said that this one rupee is given for the wish to save the relationship from breaking. For centuries, metal coins have been considered a symbol of prosperity in Indian tradition, hence along with Dakshina, one rupee is also given to the priest. 10, 20, 50 or 100 rupees are not given to the priest or any relative because they are considered inauspicious. Next time you give someone money in an envelope, remember that you are not just giving money, but through that one rupee coin you are praying for their bright future and unbreakable friendship.
