Shri Satyanarayan Puja helps us in receiving the sacred blessings of Bhagwan Narayan. True devotees of Bhagwan receive the gifts of success, financial and spiritual growth, marital happiness and positive energy. As Bhagwan is the embodiment of righteousness and truth, the path of his followers will also become free from obstacles and distractions. Indeed, happiness and well-being will start filling your entire home once you receive his blessing.


For getting the best outcomes, devotees are recommended to fast on the date of Purnima. We can perform pujas either in the morning or evening. But religious experts say that it is better to do it in the evening as the fast can be concluded with sacred offerings or Prasad.


The deity of Shree Satyanarayan is characterised by a sacred stone or Saligram. Devotees can start by cleaning the idol with Panchamitram. Panchamitram is made by mixing together yogurt, sugar, honey, ghee and milk. Additionally, devotees are also encouraged to prepare Prasad by adding sweet roasted wheat flour or Panjiri, fruits, Tulasi and bananas. This is considered as the divine food of Bhagwan.

A key aspect of Satyanarayan Puja is listening to Katha or story. Family members can sit together and listen to the story of the origin of Puja, the consequences of not performing it and vice-versa. At the end, we can perform Aarti. Create a light fire using camphor and circle it around the Lord. Then, we can conclude the fasting by having the Prasad and Panchamitram. While breaking the fast, it is recommended to eat Panchamitram first. Secondly, devotees should have Prasads.

Satyanarayan Puja during Purnima is one of the most auspicious ritual that anyone can perform to attain spiritual growth and inner peace. Mark these dates in your calendar and make the required arrangements. The blessings of Bhagwan Satyanarayan can fill your entire home with prosperity, happiness and divine guidance.
