Satyanarayana Pooja – Benefits, Katha and Procedure | Online Booking

February 22, 2022, Sasidhar Darla 40 Comments Filed Under: Pujas

Satyanarayana Pooja is one of the most popular rituals performed to appease Lord Vishnu and receive his blessings. The word “Satya” means Truth and “Narayana” means The Highest Being. Together they mean “The highest being who is the embodiment of truth”.

Hindus perform Sri Satyanarayan Vrat & Pooja for getting blessings of health, wealth, prosperity and relief from troubles and sickness. It can also be performed to get success in business or career and also during social functions like marriages, house-warming ceremonies, naming of the children and so on.

        Thanks for the detailed explanation about the pooja. My question is- can individuals perform the pooja independently or is it mandatory for a couple to perform it? If parents are old & can’t sit for long, can I, their daughter do the pooja?
