Your guide to perform laxmi puja the most important aspect of the festival on Diwali

Preaparation-

First and foremost step is to clean the house. Through the puja we are inviting Goddess Lakshmi to our house and she likes everything to be neat and clean. Make a rangoli on front door at least. Offer few clay diyas in temple than lighten your house and start the puja.

Important Items Needed For Lakshmi Puja-

Kalash, Mango leaves, nariyal gari ( peeled coconut )

Idol or picture of Goddess Lakshmi and Ganesha, Shivling and Shri Yantra if you have

Milk, curd, honey, ghee, gangajal for Panchamrat

raw rice, dry fruits, ), incense sticks (agarbattis), vermilion (kumkum),

puja Sweets, Red cloth, Red and other color flowers, Seeds of kamalgatta, Hawan samagri ( fire sacrifice), Samidha for Navgrah, Kalawa ( a skein of thread ), supari ( Betel nut ), Coconut, Paan ke patte, Rangoli

Lakshmi Puja Process

• First decide on a place to perform the puja. It should be in East or North

• Spread a clean red cloth on a chouki ( a small stool for offering ) and create a bed of rice on lt and rt side.

• A Kalash (pot), is placed after tying three rounds of kalawa on the bed of rice.

• Fill the Kalash with water.

• Put a betel nut, flower, a clean coin, and some rice in the Kalash.

• Now arrange mango leaves around the opening of the Kalash in 7 or 9 number.

• Place a coconut after tying three rounds of kalawa on the Kalash.

• In the front of your right hand, draw a lotus with turmeric powder and flour and place the idol or small photograph of Goddess Lakshmi, Ganesha , Shri Yantra on bed bed of rice. Shiv ling you can keep on side also'

• Take some water and sprinkle on all puja items to purify them.

• Do puja with haldi, kumkum and flowers on the Kalash.

• Light a four faced lamp ( dipak ) . It should be for the whole night. The diyas serve a dual purpose. Their primary purpose is to drive away all the shadows of evil spirits present in the area. At the same time awakening of the light of good within each individual.

• The incense sticks are burnt while the clay lamps are filled with ghee and their wicks are lit

• Now remember the following deities in given order and offer each one the following set of offering- flower, 1 paan leave, loung, supari and some sweet .Guru is remembered before every pooja first. Than start with Ganesh ji , Navgarah ( Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu, Ketu), Kuber devta, Sthan devta and Vaastu devta.

• No puja is performed without paying customary tributes to Lord Ganesha. Lord Kubera, represents wealth, and he is the treasurer of Gods. In homes, usually the locker or safe in which gold and cash is kept symbolically represents the seat of Kubera.

• A panchamitra is made using five ingredients including milk, curd, honey, gangajal, and clarified butter (ghee). Offer this panchamrit to Lord Shiva with Mahamritunjay mantra-

" Om Tryambakam yajamahe

Sugandhim pushti-vardhanam

Urvarukamiva bandhanan

Mrityor mukshiya mamritat"

• Now sprinkle the flowers and rice on the idol of Goddess Lakshmi.

• Take out the idol of Goddess Lakshmi and place it on a Thaali. Clean the idol with panchamrit. Then clean the idol again with water.

• Place the idol back. Now offer fruits, sweets, betel nuts and betel leaves.

• Next make offerings of Batasha and puffed rice ( lahi).

• Chant " Om Mahalaxmaye Namah" for some time.

• Now do hawan. Offer hawan samagri to each diety you welcomed in above mention order with the hawan samagri. When you start offering for Goddess Laxmi, the head of the family will do with the kamalgatta and ghee and other family members with the hawan chanting "om mahalaxmaye namah" mantra for 108 times.

• When finished all family members should stand up and offer nariyal gari for purnahuti.

• .Now you are ready for the Aarti. Light the Aarti diya. Light camphor. Sing the aarti to the tune of 'Om Jai Jagdeesh hare' along with the accompaniment of the jingle of the bell. (You will find the words of the Aarti at the end of this note)

What we do in our Sikh households is a thorough spring clean, new clothes, candles to be lit in our place of worship and fun, food and fireworks with family.

Gifts of indian sweets and money or small presents for immediate family. Finally we buy a lottery ticket as it is a lucky time to gamble ;-)

Lots of light, candles, Christmas lights etc.
