Shri Satyanarayan Vrat Puja is performed to seek blessing of God Narayan which is one of the forms of Lord Vishnu. The Lord in this form is considered an embodiment of truth. Although there is no fixed day to perform Satyanarayan Puja but doing it during Purnima or Pournami is considered highly auspicious.
Devotees should observe the fast on Pooja day. The Pooja can be done in the morning as well as in the evening. However performing Satyanarayan Puja in the evening is considered more appropriate as devotees can break the fast with Prasadam in the evening.
Shri Satyanarayan Vrat Pooja
Pooja Material
A book on the Pooja (Inconsultation with a Brahmin), a square platform(Chaurang),mango leaves, two new cloth pieces, kalasha, lord's idol or a photograph, turmeric, kumkum, panchamrut, six coconuts, prasad, four oil lamps, sandal paste, incense sticks, betel leaves, two garlands, areca nuts, turmeric pods, dry dates or almonds, camphor, offerings in form of cash or coins, tulsi leaves and flowers.
Pooja Procedure
The pooja consists of five parts. The first one deals with the timing of the vrat and the procedure.The other four parts describe stories of the greatness of the God. The stories convince the importance of the pooja.On the day of the pooja, it is required to fast and perform the pooja in the evening.
In a clean room, a new clean cloth is spread on an elevated platform(Chaurang) and rice-grains,about a kilo are spread on it,in the centre. A kalash(Copper pot) capped with a new cloth piece is placed and a small idol of the Lord Vishnu is positioned on it
The pooja begins with the lighting of the lamp and praying the God Ganesha, Lakshmi,Dikpaalakaas, Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Parvathi, Sun,the nine planets and Lord Indra.
Lord Ganesha and Panchaloka Paalakaas should be positioned to the north of the Kalash and can be worshipped through areca nuts or almonds or turmeric pods or dry dates.Then,the nine planets should be worshipped by placing areca nuts on betel leaves followed by Lord Indra and other Dikpaalakaas.
Later the Lord Satyanarayana's idol or image on betel leaf should be worshipped by Panchamrut (a mixture of ghee, milk, sugar, honey and curds) abhishek(sprinkle).At the end of the pooja, there is udvaasana, a formal way of concluding the pooja.
