Sri Sri Narayan Pooja Padhoti In Bengali  (Paperback, Bengali, Pandit Sri Shyamacharan Kabiratna)

The Satyanarayana Puja is a Hindu religious observance. As the name signifies, Sastyanarayana is an incarnation of Lord Sriman Narayana, or Lord Vishnu. The puja is very popular in all parts of India. It is a ritual performed by Hindus before any major occasion like marriage, house-warming ceremony, in times of achievements and others. It is in a way an offering of gratitude to the Lord Satyanarayana. In addition, it is said that a devotional performance of this puja will bear children to couples trying to start a family. It can be performed on any day for any reason but it is usually done on the full moon day or during the waxy fortnight of the moon. It is believed that in Bengal, during the later part of 19th century, Satyanarayana puja took the name of Satya Pir puja, which was attended by all communities (Hindu, Muslim and Buddhists) and thereby building a common platform for all religions. It was a dream of religious unity through the vision of “One God”.
