Birthday Rule: What does Sanatan Dharma say about whether cake should be cut on birthday or not?

Birthday Rule: Everyone is proud of their religion, civilization and culture. But despite this, people are also adopting western culture indiscriminately. Among these is celebrating birthday by cutting cake. Nowadays people cut the cake after extinguishing the candles on their birthday. But there is no mention in Sanatan Dharma that birthday should be celebrated by cutting cake.

There is no mention of celebrating birthday by cutting cake.

In Hindu religion, there is no mention of celebrating birthday by cutting cake in any scripture or Vedas. Also, in astrology, cutting the cake after extinguishing the candle is considered inauspicious. However, this does not mean that we should not celebrate birthdays. But in our Sanatan culture, special rules have been given for this, according to which celebrating birthday is very auspicious.

Cutting cake or blowing candles on birthday

Celebrating birthday by blowing candle is considered inauspicious in astrology. Doing this only brings bad luck and destruction in life. Because it has a negative impact on your health and fortune. The reason for this is that fire and light have special importance in Hindu religion. The children of the house are also considered as lamps and it is prayed that they always remain bright like lamps and their future is bright. In Hindu religion, there is a tradition of revealing the fire god instead of extinguishing it. Therefore, the tradition of cutting the cake after extinguishing the candles is not considered a good omen in Sanatan Dharma.

How to celebrate birthday according to the scriptures

According to Sanatan Dharma, celebrating birthdays or anniversaries according to the Panchang rather than the English calendar is more auspicious and accurate. The reason behind this is that the energy flowing on the date on which we are born matches the waves present in the body. But if you celebrate your birthday according to the date of birth, then keep these things in mind-

• Aarti must be performed for the person whose birthday it is. By doing this the impurities and negativity present in the body are removed. Also one gets the blessings of Agni Dev.
• On your birthday, touch the feet of elders and take blessings. On this day go to the temple and have darshan of God. Celebrate your birthday as per your capacity, but do not cook or consume non-vegetarian food on this day.
• Nowadays the trend of return gifts on birthdays has increased rapidly. This is a good tradition. You must give some gifts to small children on your birthday. Also, donate to the poor on this day. If you are able then it will be more auspicious to donate Tula on your birthday.
