Significance of the ‘SatyaNarayan Puja’
The Satya Narayan Vrata, (worship of Satya Narayan, the embodiment of the eternal,‘Truth’), is one of the most common pujas (ritualistic prayers) that are offered to the Lord in India. Enthusiastic devotees, from time immemorial, have performed it with greatly beneficial results. It has been observed that after the performance of this puja with faith and devotion, devotees benefit by getting their problems and difficulties resolved. Thus the sick regain health and those with other wordly problems find, that help suddenly comes in from unexpected quarters.
The reasons for the popularity of this particular puja are many. First of all, it is very simple and easy to perform, and secondly, it can be performed by anyone; young or old, man or woman, and even widows. It thus proves that as far as God is concerned, there are no barriers. It is only the sincerity, faith and devotion of the bhakta (devotee) that counts. Again, it can be performed on any day and at any time, although certain days and times are considered more auspicious.
The word Satya means Truth. Narayan means that which is abiding in everybody and everything. Lord SatyaNarayan (a form of Lord Vishnu) recommends that in order to overcome difficulties and problems either caused by this life or previous births, one has to begin worshipping truth. Worshipping truth means being truthful to oneself. Then be truthful to others. Speak the Truth. The more truthful we become more we are worshipping the Narayan in others and ourselves.
The purpose of fasting is ‘to stay away from’ i.e. to stay away from not only food but also from negative thoughts and tendencies (untruth, envy, anger, greed) and to contemplate on God.
The purpose of inviting family and friends is to encourage harmony and unity. The Hindus believe that we should focus not only on our own happiness but also encourage others to be happy. Thus, in fact when you make others happy, in the long run you are making yourself happy. What you sow is what you reap.
Singing of all together creates harmony and positive vibrations, which help to overcome negative tendencies that cause conflicts and problems in our lives. Also, during singing it is hard for the mind to wander.
Shri Satya Naaraayan kathaa begins by Naarad Muni perturbed by the sufferings of people on earth due to their bad / evil actions. Bhagvaan Krishnaa in the Gitaa described the law of Karma to Arjun. Our good actions like helping others reward us with their fruits of various enjoyments on this earth. Equally the bad actions such as harming others will produce negatives fruits in the form of sufferings. Usually the sufferer is not aware of the bad actions, as the time scale of those bad actions is not perceivable at the time of suffering. Some actions bear fruit immediately e.g. a thief has committed a robbery, is caught by the police in doing so and is also jailed by the magistrates. Whilst other actions will produce fruits during a short time, this lifetime or another lifetime of the jeeva.
It is necessary to understand that such sufferings are also beneficial to the individual as they make one introspect, to reason out, why the sufferings have occurred. The goal is to lead the individual to the higher spiritual planes, to end in merging with the highest divinity (param atma). All living beings are programmed to achieve this goal. The whole cosmos with all its contents – animate or inanimate are part of the param atma and are set to merge in that atma. Good actions quicken the process whilst bad actions slow the process with sufferings – but which teach the individual the true goal of life.
The sufferings due to our bad actions can be quite prolonged. Bhagvaan Satya Naaraayan’s vrat / worship acts as a catalyst to overcome and end such prolonged suffering much quickly and augment peaceful divine life – showering the worshipper with his blessings
The Significance of the ‘Kalash’
The ‘Kalash’ is a pot with a narrow mouth, filled with cold water, which is always used in Indian Pujas (ritualistic prayers). It is customary to place the kalash on a bed of rice (to usher in prosperity and well being). Five mango or betel leaves are placed at the mouth of the kalash with a coconut on the top of it. This coconut is decorated with haldi (turmeric) and kumkum (vermillon powder) and bedecked with flowers and even gold ornaments. The kalash represents the Trimurthi(holy trinity). The mouth is Brahma the creator, the body or middle Shiva, the destroyer and the bottom, Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector of universe. The water in the vessel represents divinity. The five leaves stand for the five life principles – Satya (truth), Dharma (righteousness), Shanti (peace), Prema (love), Ahimsa (non-violence) –dipped in divinity, by the grace of the trimurthis. The coconut represents the fruition of the purpose, or the aim of life.
Our body is compared to the kalash. We should also be full of Love, with our life principles dipped in divinity for the fruition of the purpose of living. Thus, all festivals are consecrated, by performing pujas to the kalash as a reminder of the ultimate goal of life.
What Time to do the Puja – Avoid ‘Rahukala’
The Rahukala is considered an inauspicious time (1 ½ hours) that occurs daily. It is a period that is usually avoided – especially when performing an important task, undertaking a journey and so on.
It is important to ensure that you don’t start any important work/sign important documents etc. during the duration of the Rahukala. If you happen to have an important appointment for example, and it happens to fall during the rahukala, don’t worry. Just leave for the appointment before the time, with a small prayer for help and be sure that you will be ok. You may start any work either before or after the rahukala but preferably not during it. The same applies for doing pujas etc.
As the timings vary daily, a line that is often used to help us remember the timings is:
“Mother Saw Father Wearing THe Turban on a Sunday.”
The rahukala starts with 7.30 a.m. on Monday morning and lasts each day for one and a half hours. The sequence is for one and a half hours daily, as suggested by the above line. Thus:
Monday – 7.30 – 9.00 a.m.
Saturday – 9.00 – 10.30 a.m.
Friday – 10.30 a.m – 12 noon
Wednesday – 12 noon – 1.30 p.m.
Thursday – 1.30 p.m – 3.00 p.m.
Tuesday – 3. 00 p.m. – 4.30 p.m.
Sunday – 4.30 p.m – 6.00 p.m. Things Required for the puja

Image of Lord SatyaNarayan or 2 coins of amount ¼ each. 21. a piece of cloth cotton or silk) (optional)
Preparing the Puja Mantap
Place the table such that it faces West or South so that when the Puja is performed, the devotee faces either East or North, with the deity facing West or South respectively. *The latter is the reason why God is often referred to as the the dakshinamurthy – i.e. one who faces the South. Approximately 1 ½ – 2 hours before the puja, fill the silver kalash (3/4) with water and add a pinch of turmeric and kumkum to it. Arrange 5 betel leaves all around the mouth of the kalash. The stems should be dipped in the water in the kalash, with the leaves facing upwards. Place one coconut on top of the leaves with the tail side (with the 3 eyes) of the coconut on top. Spread some rice and place this kalash in the center of the rice. The 3 eyes of the coconut must face the devotee. In a plate, separately make some turmeric and kumkum by adding just a few drops of water. Make a swastik on the kalash using kumkum. Also, make a Swastik on a tray to symbolize the Navgraha. Place one oil lamp and incense burner on the mantap. Place the flowers and fruits brought for the puja in a tray/plate either on another table on the side of the mantap or spread a sheet on the floor and place the tray on it. Also place 1. The prepared prasad 2. Prepared charnamrit, 3. A plate of prepared food to be offered to Lord. 4. Pot filled with to be used for teerth, bathing of lord etc. 5. Akshat, haldi powder and kumkum 6. Incense sticks 7. The 2nd oil lamp for aarti and additional oil to add to the lamps as required, during the puja 8. Some money, as preferred, to be offered as dakshina during the puja 9. One clean napkin for wiping your hands as the puja progresses. 10. The prepared aarti tray and some camphor. Prasad
(For 25 people) ¼ the qtty would be enough for abt 6-8 people 2 katori atta ½ katori soojhi 1 katori makhana (fried and ground) optional….available in Indian store 1 katori almonds (ground) 3 katori sugar 3-4 Tbsp ghee In ghee, roast the soojhi and atta till pinkish in color and starts smelling (good). Add the makhana and almonds.Mix well. When the mixture cools, add sugar and mix well.
Charnamrit
1 cup milk 1 tsp well mixed, fresh, plain, yogurt 1-2 tsp sugar 1-2 tsp honey A few drops of pure ghee (clarified butter)
Combine all of the above ingredients until well blended. Ideally, make the charnamrit approximately an hour before the puja. After the puja is over, the charnamrit is distributed first and then the prasad.
Distribution of Charnamrit and Prasad
After the narration of the above katha and performing bhajans, give flowers and akshat to all devotees present and perform the aarti. Each devotee must offer the flowers and akshat and prostrate before the deity and then accept the Charnamrit and Prasad with a feeling of devotion.
Conclusion the next day (Very Essential)
It is said that the Lord actually resides in the house of the devotee on the day of the puja. Hence if you are doing the Puja in the morning, then light a lamp and offer aarti and some small prasad (fruit or even plain sugar will do) in the evening too. Repeat the lighting of the lamp, aarti and prasad the next morning (anytime before noon, avoiding the rahukala timings). The puja is now complete in every way. The devotee must now just move the Kalash a little bit from its place (by gently pushing it forward or sideways with both hands). This signifies bidding the Lord good bye.
*This is a simple procedure of performing the SatyaNarayan Puja on your own. The puja can be further simplified if one is unable to buy certain items ,due to lack of time or other reasons. Most important is to perform the puja with sincerity,love and devotion.

ELABORATE SATYA SAI SATYA NARAYAN PUJA PROCEDURE Commencing the puja
Begin the puja by first lighting the lamp (the main one not the smaller one’s which will be lit during the course of the puja). Now sitting cross-legged on the floor, with your palms resting on your knees (with the thumb and the middle finger joined and the palm facing upwards), eyes closed, reverentially chant the ‘Om’ 3 times, feeling the reverberations of the sound within yourself. This done, chant the following shlokas.
Shlokas For the Satya Sai Satya Narayan Puja
1. The Sai Gayatri Mantra
At all auspicious, religious and devotional functions it is customary to sing the ‘Gayatri Mantra’ first, asking the Goddess Gayatri (the Divine Mother) to illumine the intellect and dispel darkness. Similarly, the gayatri mantra can also be recited in praise of a particular chosen God or deity with the confidence that all forms of God ultimately represent the same Omnipresent Divinity. Thus the Sai Gayatri urges our beloved lord Satya Sai as follows:
// Om Sayeeshwaraaya Vidmahe
Satya Devaya Dhimahi
Thannosarvah Prachodayat //
That Lord of lords Sai, whom we know,
Let us meditate Satya Deva (who is the very embodiment of the eternal ‘Truth’)
The one who kindles our knowledge.
The Original Gayatri Mantra
You may also chant the original Gayatri Mantra, instead if preferred, as follows:
// Om bhur bhuvah suvah
Tat savitur varenyam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyoyona prachodayat//
2. It is then customary to invoke the blessings of Lord Ganesha, (the elephant headed God). Also known as vighneshwaraa (the remover of obstacles), He is asked to bless the occasion with His presence, remove all obstacles and help ensure that the function is completed successfully, with the prayer:
// Shree vakratunda mahaakaya, koti surya samaprabha
Nirvighnam kurme devo, shubha karyeshu sarvada. //
O Lord Ganesha, the one who has a curved trunk and a great body and whose effulgence/splendor matches (is equal to) a million suns, May you bless us with you Grace and may all auspicious functions/good work be successfully completed without any obstacles.
3. The next shloka (Sanskrit verse) is addressed to the Guru, or preceptor, asking him to bless the occasion with the following prayer:
Gurur Brahmaa, gurur Vishnu, guru devo Maheshwaraha,
Gurur sakshat Para Brahma, tasmai shree guruve namaha.
The Guru is none other than an embodiment of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Maheshwara (Shiva)*. He is the supreme Brahman (consciousness) Himself. To such a Guru, I offer my salutations.
*According to the Hindu scriptures, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva make up the holy trinity as the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer of the universe respectively.
4. After the above two shlokas it is customary to honour Saraswati, the Goddess of learning with the following Prayer:
// Ya kundendu tushar har dhawala,
Ya shubra vastravrata,
Ya veena vardanditakara,
Ya shewata padmasana,
Yaa brahmachyut shankara prabhritibhir,
Devai sada vandita,
Sa maam paatu Saraswati, Bhagawati,
Nishesh jadya pahaa.//
She who is pure and white like the jasmine, the full moon and the garland like formation of dew drops,
She, who is dressed in a spotless white robe,
Who has the auspicious instrument, the Veena, in her hand,
Who is seated on a white lotus,
Who is revered by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva,
The one who is always revered by all the Gods,
May that goddess Saraswati, or Bhagwati, the presiding deity of learning, remove our lethargy, laziness and ignorance and bless and protect us.
Shloka for consecrating the water (to be sprinkled on the puja items, devotees and surroundings for purifying the atmosphere)
// Kalashasya mukhe Vishnu, kante rudra samashritaha
Mule tatra sthito brahma, madhye Matrgana smrita
Kukshau tu sagaraha, sarve saptadwipa Vasunadhara,
rigvedaha, yajurvedaha,samavedoho, arthavarnaha,
Angaischa sarve kalashambu samashritaha,
Gangecha, Yamunechaiva, Godavari, Saraswati,
Narmada, Sindhu, Kaveri jalesmin sannidhim kuru
Kalshodaken devam atmanam puja dravyani cha samprokshya //
May the lord Vishnu be present at the mouth, Shiva at the neck,
And Brahma remain at the base of this pot.
May the mother (Earth) be present in the center.
May the water from all the seas and the sand from all the seven islands,
The learning from all the 4 vedas, Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda,
Blend into this water,
And the water from all the seven holy rivers,
Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari,Saraswati,
Narmada, Sindhu and Kaveri blend into the water in this pot.
With the water, thus consecrated, we now purify the materials and surroundings before commencing the puja. By sprinkling it all around, using a flower from the pot.
Break a coconut and offer it to the Lord before commencing the Puja

Shri Satyanarayan Vrat Katha
Pahla Adhyaya
Ek Samay Nem Sharanya Tirth mein Saunik Adi Athaasi Hazaar Rishyo ne Shri Sutji se poocha –“Hey Prabhu, Is Kalyug mein Vaid–Vidya rahit manushyo ko prabhu bhakti kis prakar milaygi tatha unka udhar kaisey hoga? Isliye hey muni shreshta, koi aisa tap kahiye jis se thodey samay mein punya prapt ho tatha mano vanchit fal miley.”
Sarvashastra ghyata Shri Sutji boley, “Hey Vaishnavo mein pujya – aap sab ne sarva praniyo ke hit ki baat poochi hai. Ab mein us shreshta vrat ko aap logo mein kahoonga, jis vrat ko Narad ji ne LakshmiNarayan se poocha tha aur Shri LakshmiPati ne Muni Shreshta Narad se kaha tha –so dhyan se suniye.
Ek samay, Yogiraj Narad ji doosro ke hit ki ichcha se, anek lokon mein ghoomtey huey mrityulok mein aa pahunchey. Vahan bahut yoniyon mein janmey huey praya sabhi manushyon ko apne karmo ke dwara anek dukho se peedit dhek kar kis yatna ke karney se nischay hi inkey dukho ka nash ho sakega, aisa man mein sochkar Vishnulok ko gaye. Vahan shwet varna aur char bhujaon wale devon ke eersh Narayan ko (jinkey haaton mein shanka, chakra, gada aur padma they, tatha vanmala pahney huey they) dekhkar stuti karney lagey. “Hey Bhagwan, aap atyant shakti se samparn hai. Man tatha vani bhi aapko nahi pa sakti, aapka aadi, madhya aur ant nahin hai, nirgun swaroop shrishti ke aadi bhoot va bhakto ke dukho ko nasht karney wale hai. Aapko mera namaskar hai.”
Naradji se is prakaar stuti sunkar Vishnu Bhagwan boley ki “Hey Munishreshta – Aapke man mein kya hai? Aapka yahan kis kaam ke liye aagman hua hai? Nisankoj kaho.” Tab Naradmuni boley, “Mrityu lok mein sab manushya jo anek yoniyo mein paida huey hai, apne apne karmo ke dwara anek prakaar ke dukho se dukhi ho rahey hai. Hey Nath muj par daya rakhtey hai to batlaeay ki un manushyo ke sab dukh thodey se hi prayatna se kaisey door ho saktey hai?” Shri Vishnu Bhagwanji boley ki “Hey Narad, Manushyo ki bhalai ke liye tumne yeh bahut achchi baat poochi. Jis kaam ke karney se manushya moh se choot jaata hai, vah mein kehta hoo suno. Bahut punya ka deney wala, swarg tatha manushya lok dono mein durlab ek vrat hai. Aaj mein premvash hokar tumse kehta hoo. Shri Satyanarayanji ka vrat achchi tarah vidhan purvak karke manushya turant hi yahan sukh bhogkar marne par moksh ko prapt hota hai.”
Shri Vishnu Bhagwan ke vachan sunkar Narad ji ne poocha ki us vrat ka kya fal hai, kya vidhan hai, aur kisne yeh vrat kiya hai aur kis din yeh vrat karna chahiye, kripa karke vistaar se bataiye. Shri Vishnu Bhagwan boley, “Dukh shok aadi ko door karne wala, dhan dhanya ko badane wala, saubhagya tatha santaan ko dene wala, sab sthano par vijaye karne wala, Shri Satyanarayan Swami hai. Bhakti aur shradha ke saat kisi bhi din, manushya Shri Satyanarayan ki sham ke samay, Brahmano aur bandhuo ke saath dharmaparayan hokar puja karey, bhakti bhav se savaya prasad de. Gehu ke abhaav mein saathi ka churan, shakar tatha gud le aur sabh bhakshan yogya padarath jama karke savaye arpan kar devey tatha bandhuo sahit bhojan karavey. Bhakti ke saath swayam bhojan karey. Nritya aadi ka aachran kar Shri Satyanarayan Bhagwan ka smaran kar samast samai vyateet karey. Is tarah ka vrat karney par manushyo ki ichcha nischay hi poori hoti hai. Vishesh kar kal kaal mein bhoomi par yahi moksh ka saral upaya hai.
Doosra Adhyaya
Sutji boley “Hey Rishyo! Jisne pehle samay mein is vrat ko kiya hai uska itihaas kehta hoo, dhyan se suno.” Sunder Kashipuri nagari mein ek ati nirdhan Brahman rehta tha. Vah bookh aur pyaas se bechain hua nitya hi prithvi par ghumta tha. Brahmano ko prem karne wale Bhagwan ne Brahman ko dukhi dekhkar, boodey Brahman ka roop dhar uske paas jaakar aadar ke saath poocha, “Hey Vipra! Tu nitya dukhi hua prithvi par kyo ghumta hai? Hey shreshta Brahman! Yeh sab mujse kaho, mein sunana chahata hoo.” Brahman bola “Mein nirdhan Brahman hoo, biksha ke liye prithvi par firta hoo. Hey Bhagwan, yadi aap iska upaya jaante ho to kripa karke batao.” Vridh Brahman bola ki Satyanarayan Bhagwan manovanchit fal ko dene wala hai. Isliye hey Brahman tu unka pujan kar, jiske karne se manushya sab dukho se mukt hota hai. Brahman ko vrat ka vidhan batakar budey Brahman ka roop dharan karne wale Satyanarayan Bhagwan antardhyan ho gaye. Jis vrat ko vridh Brahman ne batlaya hai, mein usko karoonga. Yeh nischay karne par usey raat mein neend bhi nahi aayi. Vah saverey utha. Shri Satyanarayan ke vrat ke nischay kar biksha ke liye chala. Us din usko biksha mein bahut sa dhan mila jis se bandhu-baandhavo ke saath usne Shri Satyanarayan ka vrat kiya. Iske karne se vah brahman dukho se chutkar anek prakaar ki sampatiyo se yukt hua. Us samay se vah Brahman har maas vrat karne laga. Is tarah Satyanarayan Bhagwan ke is vrat ko jo karega vah sab papo se chutkar mauksh ko prapt hoga. Aagey jo prithvi par Satyanarayan vrat karega, vah manushya sab dukho se chut jayega. Is tarah Naradji ne Shri Narayan ka kaha hua yeh vrat tumse kaha. Hey Vipro! Mein ab aur kya kahu? Rishi boley “Hey Munishwaro! Sansar mein is Brahman se sunkar kis kis ne is vrat ko kiya, hum vah sab sunana chahatey hain. Iske liye humarey man mein shradha hai. Sutji boley “Hey Muniyo! Jis Jisne us vrat ko kiya hai vah sab suno. Ek samay vah Brahman, dhan aur aishwarya ke anusaar bandhu-baandhavo ke saath vrat karne ko tayar hua. Usi samay ek lakdi bechney wala ek buda aaya aur bahar lakadiyo ko rakhkar Brahman ke makan mein gaya. Pyaas se dukhi lakadharey ne Brahman ko vrat kartey dekhkar namaskar karkey poochney laga ki aap yeh kya kar rahey hai aur iskey karney se kya fal milta hai? Kripa karkey mujse kahiye. Brahman ne kaha, “Sab manokamnao ko poora karne wala, yeh Satyanarayan ka vrat hai. Iski hi kripa se mere yahan dhan-dhanya aadi ki vridhi hui hai.” Brahman se is vrat ke barey mein jaankar lakadhara bahut prasan hua. Charnamrit lekar aur prasad khaney ke baad, apne ghar ko gaya.
Lakadharey ne man mein is prakaar ka sankalp kiya ki aaj gram mein lakdi bechney se jo dhan mujhe milega usi se Shri Satyanarayan Bhagwan ka uttam mein vrat karoonga. Yeh man mein vichar kar, budha lakadhara lakadiya sar par rakhkar Sundernagar mein gaya. Us roz vahan par usey un lakadiyo ka daam pehle dino se chauguna mila. Tab budha lakadhara daam lekar aur ati prasan hokar pakkey kele ki fali, shakar, ghee aur dahi, gehu ka chun ityadi Satyanarayan Bhagwan ki vrat ki kul samagriyo ko lekar apne ghar gaya. Phir usne apne sab bhaiyo ko bulakar vidhi ke saath Bhagwan ji ka pujan aur vrat kiya. Us vrat ke prabhav se budha lakadhara dhan, putra, aadi se yukt hua aur sansar ke samast sukh bhogkar vaikunth ko chala gaya.
Teesra Adhyaya
Sutji bole, “Hey shresta muniyo! Ab aagey ki katha kehta hoo- suno. Pehle samay mein Ulkamukh naam ka ek budhimaan raja tha. Vah satyavakta aur jeetendra tha. Pratidin dev sthano mein jaata tatha garibo ko dhan dekar unkey kasht door karta tha. Uski patni kamal ke samaan mukh wali aur sati sadhvi thi. Badrashila nadi ke tath par un dono ne Satyanarayan Bhagwan ka vrat kiya. Usi samay mein vahan ek sadhu vaishya aaya. uske paas vyapaar ke liye bahut sa dhan tha. Nav ko kinarey par thehra kar raja ke paas gaya aur raja ko vrat kartey huey dekh kar vinay ke saath poochney laga–Hey rajan! Bhaktiyukt chit se aap kya kar rahey hai? Meri bhi sunaney ki ichcha hai. Yeh aap mujhe bataea.
Raja bola “Hey Sadhu! Apne baandhavo ke saath putradi ke prapti ke liye Mahashaktivaan Satyanarayan Bhagwan ka vrat va pujan kiya ja raha hai.
Raja ke vachan sunkar Sadhu aadar ke saath bola, “Hey rajan! Mujko iska sabh vidhan kahiye, mein bhi aapke katha anusar is vrat ko karoonga. Meri bhi koi santaan nahi hai aur is se nischay hi hogi. Raja se sabh vidhan sunkar, vyapaar se nivrit hokar, aanand ke saath ghar gaya. Sadhu ne apni stri se santaan dene wale us vrat ka samachar sunaya aur kaha ki jab meri santaan hogi tab mein is vrat ko karoonga. Sadhu ne aise vachan apni stri Lilawanti ko kahey. Kuch samay baad, Lilawanti garbawati hui tatha dasve mahiney mein uske ek sunder kanya ka janam hua jiska naam Kalawanti rakha gaya. Tab Lilawanti ne meethe shabdo mein apne pati se kaha ki aapne jo sankalp kiya hua tha ki Bhagwan ka vrat karoonga, ab aap usey kariye. Sadhu bole, Hey priya! Iske vivah par karoonga. Apni patni ko aashvaasan dekar voh nagar ko gaya. Kalawanti pitragrah mein vridhi ko prapt ho gayi. Sadhu ne jab nagar mein sakhiyo ke saath apni putri ko dekha to turant hi doot ko bulakar kaha ki putri ke vastey koi suyogya var dekh kar laao. Sadhu ki aagya paakar doot Kanchan Nagar pahuncha aur vahan par badi khoj kar aur dekhbhaal kar ladki ke vaastey suyogya vanik putra ko le aaya. Us suyogya ladke ko dekh kar, Sadhu ne apne bhai-bandhuo sahit prasan-chit apni putri ka vivah uske saath kar diya. Kintu, durbhagya se vivah ke samay bhi us vrat ko karna bhool gaya. Tab Shri Bhagwan krodhit ho gaye aur usey shrap diya ki voh daarun dukh prapt hoga.
Apne kaam mein kushal sadhu baniya apne jaamata sahit samudra ke samip Ratanpur nagar pahuncha. Aur vahan dono sasur jamai, Chandraketu Raja ke nagar mein pahunche aur vyapaar karney lagey. Ek roz, Bhagwan Satyanarayan ki maya se prerit koi chor raja ka dhan churakar sheegra ja raha tha kintu peechey se raja ke dooton ko aatey dekh kar, chor ne ghabrakar bhaagtey-bhaagtey dhan ko vahin chup-chap rakh diya jahan vah dono sasur jamai thehrey huey they. Dooton ne us sadhu vaishya ke paas raja ke dhan ko rakha dekh kar dono ko baandhkar le gaye aur prasanta se daudtey huey raja ke samip jaakey boley, “Yeh do chor hum pakad kar laye hai, dekh kar agya de.” Raja ki agya se unko kathin kaaravaas mein daal diya aur unka dhan raja ne cheen liya. Usi shrap dwara uski patni bhi ghar par bahut dukhi hui aur ghar par jo dhan rakha tha chor churakar le gaye. Sharirik va mansik peeda mein bookh va pyaas se ati dukhit ho ann ki chinta mein, Kalawanti ek Brahman ke ghar gaye. Vahan usne Satyanarayan vrat hotey dekha. Vahan usne katha suni aur prasad grahan kar raat ko ghar aayi. Mata ne Kalawanti se kaha, “Hey putri! Din mein kahan rahi va tere man mein kya hai?” Kalawanti boli, “Hey mata! maine ek Brahman ke ghar Satyanarayan ka vrat dekha.” Kanya ka vachan sunkar, Lilawanti Satyanarayan Bhagwan ke pujan ki tayari karney lagi. Lilawanti ne parivar aur bandhuo sahit Bhagwan ka pujan kiya aur yeh var maanga ki mere pati aur daamaad sheegra hi aa jaavey aur prathna ki ki hum sab ka apraadh shama karo. Satyanarayan Bhagwan is vrat se santusht ho gaye aur Raja Chandraketu ko swapna mein dekhayee diye aur kaha ki “Hey rajan! Dono bandhi vaishyon ko prat hi chod do aur unka sab dhan jo tumne grahan kiya hai de do nahi to tera dhan, rajya, putradi sab nasht kar doonga.” Raja ko aisa vachan sunakar Bhagwan antardhyan ho gaya. Prat-Kaal Raja Chandraketu ne sabha mein apna swapna sunaya aur dono vanik putro ko kaid se mukt kar sabha mein bulaya. Dono ne aatey hi Raja ko namaskar kiya. Raja meethey vachno se boley, “Hey Mahanubhavo! Bhagyavash aisa katheen dukh prapt hua hai, ab koi bhay nahi hai.” Aisa kahkar Raja ne unko naye-naye vastrabushan pehnaye tatha unka jitna dhan liya tha us se duna dhan dilvakar vida kiya. Dono vaishya apne ghar ko chal diye.
Chautha Adhyaya
Sutji boley, “Vaishya ne mangalachar karke yatra aarambh ki aur apne nagar ko chala. Unkey thodi door pahunchney par dandi veshdhari Satyanarayanji ne un se poocha, “Hey sadhu! teri naav mein kya hai? Abhimani vaanik hasta hua bola, “Hey dandi, aap kyon poochtey ho? Kya dhan lene ki ichcha hai? Meri naav mein to bel tatha pattey adi bharey hai. Vaishya ka kathor vachan sunkar, Bhagwan ne kaha ki tumhara vachan satya ho. Aisa kahkar dandi vaha se chaley gaye aur kuch door jaakar samudra ke kinarey baith gaye. Dandi ke jaaney par vaishya ne nitya kriya karne ke baad naav ko oonchi uthi dekh achamba kiya tatha naav mein bel patradi dekh murchit ho gir pada. Phir murcha khulney par bahut shok karne laga. Tab uska daamaad bola ki aap shok na karey, yeh dandi ka shrap hai. Aapko sharan mein chalna chahiye tabhi hamari manokamna poori hogi. Damad ke vachan sunkar vah dandi ke paas pahuncha. Bhakti bhav se namaskar kar bola, “Maine jo aap se asatya vachan kahey they us ko shama karo, aisa kahkar vah mahan shokatur ho roney lagey. Dandi Bhagwan boley, “Hey vanik putra! Meri aagya se tumhe baar-baar dukh prapt hua hai. Tu meri puja se vimukh hua hai.” Sadhu bola, “Hey Bhagwan! Aapki maya se mohit gyani aapke roop ko nahi jaantey, tab mein agyani kaise jaan loo? Aap prasan hoiay, mein saamarth ke anusaar aapki puja karoonga. Meri raksha karo aur pehle ke samaan, nauka mein dhan bhar do.” Un dono ke bhaktiyukt vachan sunkar Bhagwan prasan ho gaye. Uski ichanusar var dekar antardhyan ho gaye. Tab unho ne naav par aakar dekha ki naav dhan se paripurn hai. Phir vah Bhagwan Satyanarayan ka pujan kar saathiyo sahit apne nagar ko chala. jab vah apne nagar ke nikat pahuncha tab doot ko ghar bheja. Doot ne sadhu ke ghar jakar, uske stri ko namaskar karke kaha ki sadhu apne daamaad sahit is nagar ke samip aa gaye hai. Aisa vachan sunkar Lilawanti ne bade harsh ke saath Bhagwan Satyanarayan ka pujan kar putri se kaha mein apne pati ke darshano ko jaati hoo, tu karya purna karke sheegra aana. Mata ke vachan sunkar Kalawanti prasad chhodkar pati ke paas gaye. Prasad ki avagya ke karan Bhagwan Satyanarayan ne rusht hokar uske pati ko naav sahit pani mein duba diya. Kalawanti apne pati ko na dekhkar roti hui zameen par gir gayi. Is tarah naav ko dooba hua tatha kanya ko rota dekh sadhu dukhit ho bola, “Hey Prabhu! Mujse ya mere parivar se jo bhool hui usey shama karo. Uske deen vachan sunkar Bhagwan Satyanarayan prasan ho gaye aur aakashvani hui. “Hey Sadhu! Teri kanya mere prasad ko chhodkar aayi hai, isliye iska pati adrishya hua hai. Yadi woh ghar jaakar prasad khaakar lautey to isey pati avashya milega. Aakashwani se aisa sunkar, Kalawanti ne ghar pahunchkar prasad khaaya. Phir us ne aakar pati ke darshan kiye, tab vaishya parivar ke sab log prasan huey. Phir sadhu ne baandhavo sahit Bhagwan Satyanarayan ka vidhi poorvak pujan kiya. Us din se har purnima va sankrant ko Bhagwan Satyanarayan ka pujan karne laga. Phir is lok ka sukh bhogkar swarg ko chala gaya.
Paanchva Adhyaya
Sutji boley, “Hey Rishyo! Mein aur bhi katha kehta hoo, suno. Praja palan mein leen, Tungadhwaj naam ka raja tha. Usne bhi Bhagwan ka prasad tyag kar bahut dookh paaya. Ek samay, vanmein ja karke pashuo ko maarkar bud ke ped ke neechey aaya. Us ne bhaktibhav se gwalo ko baandhavo sahit Bhagwan Satyanarayan ka pujan karte dekha. Raja dekhkar bhi, abhimaan vash na vahan gaya, na namaskar kiya. Jab gwalo ne Bhagwan ka us ke saamne prasad rakha, to vah prasad ko tyag kar apni sunder nagri ko chala gaya. Vahan us ne apna sab kuch nasht paaya. To vah samaj gaya ki yeh sabh kuch prasad ke niradhar ke vajai se hua hai. Tab vah, vishwas kar gwalo ke samip gaya aur vidhi poorvak pujan kar prasad khaaya. Bhagwan Satyanarayan ki kripa se sab jaisa tha vaisa hi ho gaya. Tatha sukh bhogkar marne par swarg lok mein gaya. Jo manushya is param durlab vrat ko karega, Bhagwan ki kripa se usey dhan dhanya ki prapti hogi. Nirdhan dhani hota hai. Bandhi bandhan se mukt hokar nirbhay ho jaata hai. Santaanheeno ko santaan prapt hoti hai. Sab manorath purna hokar ant mein vaikunth dham ko jaata hai. Jinhonay, pehle is vrat ko kiya hai, uske doosrey janam ki katha kehta hoo. Vridh Shatanand Brahman ne Sudama ka janam lekar mauksh paaya. Ulkamukh naam ka raja Dashrath hokar vaikunth ko prapt hua. Sadhu naam ke vaishya ne Mordhwaj bankar apne putra ko aare se cheerkar moksh prapt kiya. Maharaj Tungadhwaj ne swayam-bhu hokar Bhagwan ke bhaktyukt karm kar moksh ko prapt kiya.
