Let us know about the rules and their importance related to offering water to the people on Saturday and lighting a lamp in the evening.
The Importance of Water in Peepal
The peepal tree is a symbol of divinity in Hinduism. It is called the ‘Tree of Gods’ because the tree is believed to be the abode of the three gods: Lord Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh. Therefore, the worship of Peepal is considered highly sacred. Watering the petals, especially on Saturdays, is extremely beneficial.
1. Relief from Shani Dosha: By offering water to Peepal on Saturdays, the effect of Shani Dosh is reduced. If the condition of Shani is not going well in one’s horoscope, then he should offer water to the Peepal tree on Saturday and pray to Shanidev. This removes the inauspiciousness of Shani and brings peace and prosperity to life.
2. A symbol of happiness and prosperity: Offering water to the peep brings happiness and prosperity in life. It is important not only from the religious point of view but also from the point of view of environmental protection.
