How to please goddess Lakshmi on Diwali Festival

Diwali is considered as one of the auspicious festivals. It is being celebrated by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs as per their customs and religion. In Hindu, we celebrate this festival as a victory of light over darkness and evil spirit. When it comes to children, as it is celebrated on Amavasya, it’s the festival of sweets, crackers, and lights.

Festival begins with Dhan Trayodashi or Dhanteras as the first day and on the second day its Naraka Chaturdashi and then Diwali. Apart from these three important days people also celebrate Govardhan pooja on the fourth day and Bhai dooj (brother-sister relationship) on the fifth day. Among all on third day i.e on Diwali, Lakshmi pooja is famous and is believed that performing Lakshmi pooja on this day brings you wealth and prosperity.



How to perform Lakshmi Pooja:


  • First, we need to cleanse the house by sprinkling river Ganga water or any spiritual river water.
  • Then perform Kalash Pooja and Lord Ganesh Pooja.
  • Light a lamp and aarathi. Offer lotus flower, fruits, sweets, and coconut.
  • Diwali festival Rituals:

Diwali Festival Rituals:


Apart from the above steps one should wake up early in the morning around 4.00 A.M. to 5.00 A.M and complete your ablutions.

One should apply Til oil to head and the whole body and perform abhyanga bath. If you have any children then the mother should bring Uttareni plant (in Telugu) one day before and put it in water. After applying oil to the body, the mother should apply kumkum tilak on forehead and give aarti. Then chant Sankalp (ex: removal of evil eye or eye shore) from his son and rotate the plant three times over the body of his child and throw this plant towards the south. Then only one should do an Abhyanga bath.

When it comes to ladies one should put rangoli muggu using rice grain powder and put the banana leaf and pour little whole grains over it and light a lamp using til oil. Make sure that this lamp lights throughout the day till next day morning at 4.00 A.M.

By doing all the above rituals we can please goddess Lakshmi.

Also one should perform lord Ganesh pooja placing it towards the left side of the photo or idol of goddess Lakshmi and then Lakshmi pooja. I have focused on Lord Ganesh because goddess Lakshmi has a nature of leaving the house if she is not satisfied with the rituals or any mistakes done by you. Here Lord Ganesh helps in stopping goddess Lakshmi and bless you.

Why do we Chant Arjuna Phalguna on Thunder Storm | 10 Names of Arjun

Arjuna Phalguna: Thunderstorm occurs naturally; our ancestors say not to stay under a tree when there is a thunderstorm. If we observe storms occur mostly over trees. Also now a day we have learned that we should not be even below telephone poles or electric poles. Scientists say that there may be a slight discharge of electricity from them which is not safe to humans. Also many suggest that instead of standing on the ground sleeping is good, even if you are struck from storm sleeping position helps to lower the risk as storm energy is absorbed by earth (as earth acts as a neutral body) From our childhood, whenever there is a thunderstorm our parents utter the word “ Arjuna Phalguna ”, there is a small story from Mahabharat epic behind uttering those words. When Pandavas are returning from the forest, Arjuna brings Uttara to Sami tree for weapons. In order to rescue cows stolen from Duryodhana and Karna, Arjuna says to bring down weapons from the tree. During that period o

Star influence when attaining puberty

What is the influence of stars when girl reaches puberty stage? In India, people give a lot of importance when their child reaches puberty stage. It reminds the child parents that they have become old and their responsibilities have grown.             When it comes to astrology, people believe stars play important role in their lives. There is a belief that stars change their effect/influence on a girl. Stars have one kind of effect on a girl before her puberty and other effect after puberty. So when a girl reaches puberty stage, father (head of the family) rushes to astrologer to know stars influence on her child. By this they can know good or bad signs going to happen in future.              Even if the stars influence during the attainment of puberty is bad, there are few options to please the lord of the star by performing some pujas and homas.              People have much ambiguity about stars and influence on their lives. Here are some details... Nakshatra Influe
