Just start with this one thing, and mother will fill your bag:

The festival of Navratri is not just the name of fast, garba and celebration. It is also a festival to understand and respect our deep relationship with nature. This festival begins with a very beautiful and deep tradition – Kalash installation and barley sowingMost of us play it just as a ritual, but do you know that this small work can be the biggest sign of bringing happiness, prosperity and happiness in your home?

This barley, called ‘Yava’ in Sanskrit, is not a simple seed. According to the scriptures, when this creation was composed, the first crop that was grown was barley. That is why it is called ‘full crop’. When we sow barley to welcome mother on the first day of Navratri, we actually call on Annapurna Maa in our house, so that our household reserves are always filled.

These barley grains are the mirror of the future

It is believed that as these barley grows during Navratri, they tell us the future of our coming year:

• Grow fast and green: If barley grains grow rapidly and their color is green, then this is a very auspicious sign. This means that the coming year will bring happiness, progress and prosperity in your house.
• Grow white or yellow: If the color of barley is yellow or white and it looks withered, then it is not considered a good sign. This shows that in the coming year you may have to face some problems or health related problems.
• If not grown at all: If you did everything right and still barley is not growing, it is considered an inauspicious sign. This indicates that in the future you may face a big problem and you need to work harder.

This is the right and easy way to sow barley

To get the full fruits of this tradition, it is very important to do it correctly:

1. Choosing the pot: Take a pot with a wide mouth. The soil is a symbol of nature and seeds grow easily in it.
2. Prepare soil: Lay a layer of clean soil in the pot.
3. Sow barley: Spread a handful of barley grains over the soil. Keep in mind, do not climb more on each other.
4. Give water: Now put another light layer of soil on top of it and sprinkle a little water very slowly. Seeds can rot by adding more water.
5. Kalash Establishment: Establish the urn in the middle of this pot.
6. Daily worship and water: Along with worshiping the mother every day for nine days of Navratri, worship this vessel and keep sprinkling light water as per the need.

This is not just a tradition, it is the seed of our faith, which gives us sure that if our reverence is true, then the mother will also fill our life with greenery of happiness.
