Makar Sankranti: Avoid These 5 Mistakes for a Prosperous Year

• Avoid traveling south on Makar Sankranti as it's considered contrary to the Sun's positive Uttarayan energy, potentially causing obstacles or financial loss.
• Do not donate black sesame seeds; instead, donate white sesame, jaggery, sugar, rice, or khichdi for auspicious results.
• Refrain from 'tamasic' foods like non-vegetarian items, alcohol, garlic-onion, or heavy meals to maintain purity and sattvic energy.
• Avoid anger, falsehood, and negative thoughts; maintain calm, speak kindly, and harbor positive thoughts.
• Be mindful of donations: avoid black clothes or black sesame seeds. Donate white/red clothes, jaggery, til ladoos, and khichdi.

Why It Matters: Follow specific scriptural guidelines on Makar Sankranti to ensure a year of prosperity and positive energy.
