I read a few websites and tried to follow in my first pooja. During the course of the pooja, I learnt certain things from my father in law who does quite lot of poojas at home and for others, and I corrected in my process.
This Pooja is generally done on Fridays, and preferably finish it before 6:00 pm for a period of 11, 21. But for me, since I work, I can start at the earliest by only 6:00 pm. So, it also depends on the time available.
Put some coins on top of the plate, and cover with a new cloth (you can use a washed cloth as well). But make sure you have not been using it. It should be a dedicated cloth for the kalasam/pooja. In that case, you can wash and use it over and over again.
Do the pooja similar to the other weeks, but this week is special. Call some married ladies, girls to your house and let them participate in the function. Share the historical story and your success story with them. Distribute some turmeric, kumkum, cloths(if possible), yellow thread, coconut, and Vaibhava Lakshmi process book that you followed. This is an indication that you are wishing good for your friends and family.
Hi Suganya, The invitation is only on your last week of pooja. Its a wishing well for others and sharing your success to motivate them as well. If you are living in a place where it is not possible to invite, assume you have 7 women and serve 7 units of items to each of them. Make 7 packages of these and you may either give it away in some temple near by, or give to your family / friends when you meet them later. Just keep these aside from you usual usable things as you would be assuming goddesses to have accepted these. This is just my suggestion.
Namaskaram Mitu,
Usually the Sandhya Time is very conducive and supports universal consciousness to work positively as the cosmic rays are quite high. If we are on Bhakthi marga, any time is ok. But pooja is usually a tool to connect so, the time is supportive that way.
Hi i live in uae and we are new here so don knw many ppl .. I want to keep the fast but i m worrying how will i invite ladies here as i dn knw anyone here. Is there any way to do last day pooja without ladies.
Do the best you can with full involvement and commitment everything else will automatically fall in place. Leave the what will happen to Devi just give your best at the available situation. All the best.
Hello Shobi,
It depends on the way one perceives the situation. If you are emotionally moved by the situation, then please take your time and restart the process when you are ready. The condolence itself is never a hindrance to pooja. In fact Death is compassion. Its our attachment with the person, that causes the binding as an hindrance. If you can perceive the situation in such a matured sense, then nothing stands between you and the divine.
Hi, I followed your pooja process and this is my third week. I have a doubt that every week we have to read the story of Sheela or only the final week. Other than the story I read everything you mentioned. Please guide me regarding this. Many thanks. Jayanthi
Knowing what life has in hold for us is an exciting and sometimes the most wanted in various stages of life.
I cam across this book to read Akashic records. This is written by someone who is realized the potent of life.
The moment I held this book, I felt a different energy. I mean the physical touch itself. Maybe I was sensitive. However, when I read through, I also felt the same feel.
I recommend this book for someone who wants to know things on their own.
I am planning to do Vaibhavalakshmi Pooja, but last I did only 5 weeks, some one told me 5 weeks is also, but in your article i read that 11 weeks or 21 weeks is compulsory, so that now I have to start again but in this case I have one doubt, can we do vaibhavalakshmi pooja in morning before 6.00 or evening pooja only we have to do? because i am working and i will reach at home 7.15 to 7.30 in this case what shall i do, can u please reply my queries?
Dear Shobha,
I admire your commitment to start over and do things right.
When I started the process, the pooja would be completed by 6:00 pm. I too was working, and since it was Friday, you know usually the second half is like a holiday :). I skipped the party time, and came home earlier, and completed my work after pooja.
I have performed this pooja many times and reaped benefits.i have been doing every Friday as a routine. You have to plan for either 8 Fridays or 16 Fridays, preferably consecutively (skip during periods) the pooja is done on Friday evenings and can be done by both men and women. But please note that you should not stop puja until you fulfill your wish.
NOTE: those who cant afford to use gold ornament can replace with silver coin or idol of Gajalakshmi.
4. when you end this puja, please share the prasadam (which you have made) as maha naivedya with the family members.
Please see the following ingredients are kept ready for puja.
