In many cultures, the presence of certain creatures in the home is considered a sign of good fortune, and it is believed that they should always be given something to eat before being sent away.
The Significance of Cows According to Vastu Shastra, if a cow appears at your main entrance, it is important to offer it something to eat. In Hindu tradition, serving cows is considered equivalent to worshiping 33 crore (330 million) deities. This is why many people set aside one roti (Indian bread) specifically for the cow while preparing their meals. Additionally, Jyotish Shastra (astrology) suggests that feeding a cow roti and jaggery on Mondays can help mitigate any defects related to the Moon in one's astrological chart.
Feeding Monkeys In Hindu scriptures, feeding monkeys is also considered highly auspicious. It is believed that doing so ensures peace and prosperity in the household. On Tuesdays, it is especially recommended to offer monkeys jaggery and gram (chana). This practice is thought to strengthen the influence of Mars (Mangal) and ward off potential misfortunes.
Offering Food to Ants According to Vastu principles, if ants are frequently seen in the home, it is advised to feed them flour. This act is considered highly beneficial and is believed to help resolve financial issues. Regularly offering flour to ants is thought to bring financial stability and ensure that the household’s treasury remains filled.
These practices reflect deep-rooted beliefs in the beneficial impact of kindness and charity towards creatures, and they are intended to enhance harmony and prosperity in one's home.
