In astrology, the special importance of Kharna has been told in Chhath Mahaparv. Not only this, the offerings of Kharna have also been given great importance by religious scholars. From the religious and scientific point of view, the importance of Kharna's offerings increases further.
It is believed that those who take the offerings of Kharna, positive energy is transmitted in them. This is the reason why the prasad of Kharna is first offered to the Lord and then distributed among the people. On this day people go to each other's house to eat the Prasad of Kharna. It is considered very auspicious to receive the offerings of Kharna. Let us know some special things about Kharna's Prasad.
The prasad of Kharna includes kheer and roti made from jaggery. This kheer is made of Arva rice, pure cow's milk and jaggery. Whereas only wheat flour is used for roti.
To make Kharna's offerings, an earthen stove made of mango wood and cow dung cake (Goitha) is used. However, in urban areas, because it is a bit difficult to find an earthen stove, that's why people use the new gas stove to make prasad. The gas stove on which you are offering prasad should be pure.
what is so special about chhath puja
When the fasting person has consumed the prasad of Kharna, then their Nirjala fast begins. This fast continues for the next 36 hours.
It is believed that by taking prasad of Kharna, there is a communication of restraint, generosity, firmness of resolutions, brilliance and energy in the body of the devotees.
According to astrologers, before observing any big fast like Teej, Jivitputrika, Vratis do the tradition of Ekbhukt. Ekabhukt means to take Prasad at one time. After attaining Ekabhukta, the 24-hour fast begins. Ekbhukta has great importance in Chhath Mahaparva.
It is said that Lord Bhaskar i.e. Sun God likes Kheer very much. Lord Bhaskar is the god of the pastoral world. He illuminates the whole universe with his divine light. It is believed that the offerings of Kharna are also received from the light of Lord Bhaskar.
Kheer has great importance in the offerings of Kharna. In the scriptures, the consumption of kheer has been described as the consumption of nectar. Kheer is made from cow's milk and all the gods and goddesses reside in the milk. Kharna's prasad is made with the help of natural things like mango wood and earthen stove to infuse positive energy due to divinity in the devotees.
According to astrologers, the three wives of King Dasharatha had taken Yagnik Kheer during the Putrakameshti Yagya in Treta Yuga. The effect of the divinity of this kheer was such that the three queens of King Dasharatha got sons like Lord Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna.
