Guidelines for lighting Akhand Jyot

Mantra text: Chant the mantra while lighting the Akhand Jyot:

"Karoti Kalyanam, Arogyam Dhan Sampadaam, Shatru Buddhi Vinaashay, Deepam Jyoti Namostute." This invocation increases the auspiciousness of the ritual.

Preparing the wick: Use a Kalawa or Mauli (sacred thread) for the wick of the Akhand Jyot, as it is considered auspicious.

Setting the lamp:

Never place the Akhand Jyot directly on the ground. Instead, place it on a heap of grains for better energy flow.

If using ghee, place the lamp on the right side; for oil, place it on the left.

Presence in the house: After lighting the Akhand Jyot, ensure that the house is not empty. At least one family member should always be present.

Position of the lamp: Do not use a broken or previously lit lamp for the Jyot. A new lamp signifies purity and devotion.

Let it extinguish naturally: After Navratri ends, allow the Jyot to extinguish on its own. Avoid the temptation to extinguish it.
