Introduction
Shree Satyanarayan Puja is a puja or worship
which is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one among the
great Hindu trinities. The word Satya means Truth
and Narayan means that which is abiding in
everybody and everything. Thus, the worship of
Lord Satyanarayan suggests that in order to
overcome difficulties and problems either caused
by this life or previous births, one has to begin
worshipping Truth.The Purpose of inviting family
and friends for this puja is to encourage harmony
and unity.The Hindu Believe that we should focus
not only on our own happiness but also encourage
others to be happy and when you make others
happy,in the long run you are making yourself
happy.

Origin Of Satyanarayana Vrata
Hindu mythology is replete with tales of the
divine sage Narad Muni, who is called Triloka
Sanchari, as he can move about in all the three
mythical worlds. On one of his celestial trips
when he visited earth, he witnessed rampant
misery. Unable to find a way to relieve human
suffering, he approached Lord Vishnu, or
Narayana, and related to him the sad state of
affairs on earth. Vishnu said to Narad, Let
people observe the Satyanarayana Vrata in the
evening of Sankranti or Purnima. Let them all
hear the story of Satyanarayan Katha, and all
miseries will come to an end. Narad returned to
earth and preached the glory of the Sri
Satyanarayana Puja. Many observed the vow without
taking any food during the course of the day and
attained what they desired. As the legend goes,
all were happy and prosperous.

When to perform the pooja?
There is no hard and fast rule for performing the
vratam and it can be performed on any day, at any
time and by anyone irrespective of their caste,
creed, marital status etc. However, generally any
full moon day i.e. Pournami day is considered
auspicious to perform the vratam. Ekadasi days of
any month are also good for performing the
vratam.  It is also good to perform the vratam on
special occasions like birthdays, marriage day
etc. The pooja is very easy and simple to perform
and one can do it even without a priest at
home.  A detailed version of performing the pooja
is mentioned in Reva Kanda of Skanda Puranam.
Suta Mahamuni narrated it to the rishis in the
Naimisharanya which is mentioned in the Vrata
Katha or the story that is read after the vratam.
