Poojan to be performed during Diwali



Poojan to be Performed on the Day of Laxmi Poojan


The festival of Diwali (also called as Deepavali) epitomizes prosperity, happiness and lights. Day three is of Laxmi Poojan. This is the only day in the entire Hindu calendar when a new moon day is celebrated as a festival. On the day of Diwali though the sky is devoid of moon and its light but still the entire atmosphere is always enlighten and filled with lights of different colours and shades and filled with joy, crackers and sweet smell of foodstuffs.

We should keep 5 fruits & a mixture of coriander seeds and jaggery as holy offering (Prasad). लक्ष्मीपूजनप्रसाद - पाच फळे धणे-गुळाचा नैवेध्य अर्पण करणे.

नवीन झाडू उंबरयावर ठेवणे. तिला हळद कुंकू अर्पण करून नमस्कार करणे., नंतर खालील प्रार्थना करणे.

We should keep a new broom on the starting line of our house (उंबरठा) and offer kumkum and turmeric powder (haldi) to it  and offer the following prayer:
"हे लक्ष्मीमाते - नंदामाते, तू नेहमी माझ्या चुका दाखव. आईच्या मायेने माझ्या अंगावरून हात फिरव. बहिणीसारखे वाटेतील काटे काढ, पापणिच्या केसासारखा माझ्या मनातील घरातील कचरा काढ आणि माझ्या घरात नंदामाते  तू सतत वावरत रहा हीच तुझ्या चरणी प्रार्थना."

"Oh Goddess Lakshmi i.e. my Param Pujya Nandai, You always bring my mistakes to my notice. Shower love on me like my mother. Be my sister and remove obstacles in my way. Remove dirt from my house and mind like an eyelid. And finally I pray and urge You to stay in my house forever".
