Namaskaram,
We are conducting a "Saamoohika Satya Narayana Vratam" on May 7, 2011 (Vaisakha Sukla Panchami).
We will make all the arrangements for 50 couples (or individuals) to perform the vratam. We will set the peetham and we will supply all the pooja materials. The only things participants will need to bring are - idols of Lakshmi and Narayana (or any idol), a kalasam (metal pot - see picture below), panchapatraa (or a metal glass and spoon - see picture below) and 45 coins (any coins). The Pooja will take approximately 4 hours. Prasadam will be served for lunch at the end.

Partcipation is FREE just like last year.

The Venue is Swaminarayan Temple, Lowell just like in March 2009. Also, just like in 2009, mantras will be chanted and instructions will be given by P.V.R. Narasimha Rao, while Swami Sathasivom, head priest of Kalikambal temple in Chennai, will lead the participants by offering pooja in the main peetham. Mantras will be in Sanskrit, but instructions and explanations will be given in English. A powerpoint projection will help participants with the steps.
The pooja will start at 10 am and go on till 2 pm. Prasadam will be served at the end. We request everybody to please be at the venue by 9:30 am, so that we can start sharp.

Pooja can be performed only by couples (or individuals) who registered. We have space for 50 couples. If you do not want to perform the pooja but just want to come and watch it, you are welcome to join us, watch the pooja and take prasadam at the end.
Even while the pooja going on, Prasadam will be served for kids and elderly people. Food will served all the time through the end of the pooja.
