Sathyanarayana Puja: Significance, Rituals & Benefits | Pujaparampara
Introduction
The Sathyanarayana Puja is one of the most sacred and widely performed Vrat Pujas in Hindu households. It is done to seek the blessings of Lord Vishnu in His Sathyanarayana form, the embodiment of truth (Satya) and preservation.
This puja is especially observed on Purnima (Full Moon) days or during auspicious occasions like weddings, housewarmings, naming ceremonies, or festivals.
Significance of Sathyanarayana Puja
The word “Sathya” means truth and “Narayana” refers to the preserver, Lord Vishnu. This puja emphasizes that one who walks the path of truth and devotion will never be abandoned by God.
It is believed that performing this puja with faith:
- Removes obstacles and brings success in endeavors
- Grants peace and prosperity in the family
- Helps fulfill personal and spiritual desires
- Cleanses negative karma and sins
