Hindus typically avoid sitting on the floor during worship or pooja; instead, they use wooden seats or Aasans for seating.
Behind this, there is not only religious reason also but scientific reason also let’s explore in this story-
Sitting on "Aasan" during Puja is believed to create a sacred space and connect with the divine energies.
It is considered a way to show respect and devotion to the worshipped deity.
The "Aasan" is seen as a symbol of stability and grounding, allowing the worshipper to focus their mind and heart on the spiritual aspects of the Puja.
When we sit directly on the floor during worship, the energy generated from prayer gets absorbed by Earth quickly, without benefiting us.
To preserve the energy and act as a mediator between the devotee and Mother Earth, using a mat or seat like an “Aasan” is recommended.
