Boost your luck with bathing water
According to Vedic astrology, by mixing or adding certain ingredients and things to bathing water you can not only ward off obstacles but also amplify luck, success and satisfaction in different spheres of life.
Failures, obstacles and struggles are a part and parcel of life. Hard work when accompanied with some good luck helps overcome failures and misfortune, they say. But sometimes, despite putting in a lot of efforts, it becomes tough to break the cycle of bad luck and we keep facing failures, obstacles again and again in various spheres of life.
In Hindu astrology, it is believed that the bad deeds of past life or afflictions in Kundali, popularly known as doshas, could be the reason behind such constant failures and struggles. If youâve been facing a lot of difficulties and obstacles at the personal or professional or front, it could probably be a result of a dosha and could be lessened through water!
