Sandhya Aarti has special significance in Hinduism, which is done every day at sunset. The atmosphere is filled with spiritual energy due to the resonating bells, blowing of conches and the light of lamps in the temples. But according to a traditional belief, when Sandhya Aarti is being performed in temples, worship or Aarti is not done in homes at that time. What is the belief and sentiment behind it?
According to religious scholars, the time of Sandhya Aarti is the moment of balance of cosmic energy. It is believed that when Aarti is being performed in a temple, the energy of the entire area is concentrated in that Aarti. In such a situation, if a person performs Aarti in his home at the same time, then the effect of his worship may be reduced or he is unable to connect with the divinity of the temple Aarti.
According to another belief, at the time of Sandhya Aarti, a special kind of “wind” or energy flows in the atmosphere, which is considered as ‘shubh vaayu’. The full benefit of this energy is obtained only when a person participates in the temple Aarti with devotion or stays away from worship at that time.
Opinion of the priests
The priests of the local temples say that “Temple Aarti is a form of collective worship, which is done for the entire community. When that Aarti is being performed, the devotees should listen to the temple Aarti with concentration at that time, concentrate on it, and not do a separate worship at home.
