Doing pooja sankalpa in USA differs from doing pooja sankalpa in baratha bhoomi. We cant refer baratha varshe Jambu dveepe dhandakaranya etc as if from our original sankalpa

any pooja sankalpa comprises two parts:

The place where we are doing
The date we are doing

The first part gets changed because of the location. The location details would be different.

Sankalpa:

For any pooja just fill up the samvathsara, maasa, paksha and the festival or pooja deity in preranaya and prithyartham and pooja/festival and type of pooja before dhyanam.

In general you can fill up as sri lakshmi narayana preranaya and sri lakshmi narayana preethyartham

Subhe shobana muhurte , aadya brahmanaha, dwiteeya parardhe, sweta varaha kalpe, vivaswata manwantare, kaliyuge, pradhama paade, Krowncha (land of Eagle) dweepe, Ramanaka Varshe, Indra khande (emipre of Indra), Ramyaka Paschimadese (western country), ashwin varthamaane ________ nama samvathsare __________(uttarayane/Dakshinayane)____________ varsha rithou __________ maase _______________pakshe _____ thithow shuba vasare subha nakshathre subha yoga subha karana yevanguna visheshana vishistyam subhathi thow barathi ramana mukhya pranantharkatha sri _______________ preranaya, sri _________________ prithyartham asmakam saha kudumbaanam kshema sthairya vijaya veerya ayur arokya aishwaryaan thatha sath santhana chinthitha manobhista sidhyartham thatha gnana bakthi vairagya siddhyartham paramatmani achalaa bakthi siddhyartham bagavatha sri lakshmi narayana preethyam _________________________ dhyanam avaahanadhi shodasha upachara poojam karishyee

Samvathsare – Year
Uttara aayane (Jan 14 – July 13) or Dakshin aayane (July 14 – Jan 13)
Varsha rithou – season
Maase – Month
Paksha – Shukla/Krishna
Thithow – Thithi

There is a long debate exists that we are not suppose to cross ocean. once we did , there is no point in pooja and sankalpa in a foreign land. For just that reason, we should not leave our traditions and practices behind.But I believe Something is better than Nothing. with all the devotion and faith in Sri Hari, we must continue pooja and our culture throughout.

This Festival comes usually a day before Ganesh Chaturthi.

This is widely celebrated festival in karnataka.
For this festival the daughters of the house are invited along with their spouses and gifts are given.
Shri Swarna Gowri Vratha or Gowri Habba is celebrated on Thrithya of Badrapada Shukla Maasa.
On this day, Ladies are suggested to take head bath to purify themselves before offering pooja.
Deocrate the mantapa
Clean the place where Gowri is to be kept
mostly some traditions allow harshina gowri and some people follow gowri made with clay
Draw a rangoli and place a plank or a mantap and put a handful of rice, on it.
place the gowri on the rice
To the right of the Gowri keep beetel leaves, beetul nuts and fruit
To the left or front keep kadole, karimani, toe rings, haldhi, kumkum, kajal and a small comb.(whatever available with you atleast)
Do all this arrangements on the morning of the puja after a oil bath and when there is no rahu kala or yamaganda.
When you start the puja, keep ready all the items mentioned , plus water, panchamrutha or raw milk, or Madhuparka ie a mix of honey ,curds and ghee.
Perform sankalpa
do shodashopachara pooja
Perform puja to the Dhora(thread) coloured yellow with 16 Knots as many as the number of women and children in the house. Keep this in front of gowri and do puja to this too. After this perform arathi.
Next give haladhi kumkum and flowers and thambula with dhakshina and a coconut or friut to all the Sumangalis
Tie the dora, while tieing dora on the right hand give a fruit to keep in the hand while tieing the dora.
Give a maradha bhagana with a choli or saree /blouse.
In evening light lamps and perform arathi.
Swarna gowri is kept along with Ganesha for 3,5,7 9 and 11 days as per the convenience of the family.
Some people do visarjanaa on the same day.
It is said that Gowri used to go to her materal home on this day and next day Ganesha used to come and take back gowri with him
By tradition, Girls are invited to their parents home and celebrations happen with wonderful pooja and habbadha adige
Newly married women give 5 pairs or 16 pairs of mora to sumangalis. From the second year onwards 5 pairs of mora is given upto 5 years. From the sixth year onwards, 2 pairs of mora are exchanged with Sumangalis.
as per our sampraadaya, morada bagina has to be preferably given for spouse’s sister and second one to the pooja doer’s mother itself.
In case if there is no sister in your husband family, prioritize his cousins or atleast distribute to your mother-in-law
It is believed that by performing this puja unmarried girls will get good husbands and married women will have a healthy and peaceful family life.

Swarna gowri katha:

Parvati undertook a severe penance to win over the love of Lord Shiva. She did the penance for 16 years, during which She survived only on grass and fruits. Lord Shiva pleased with Her penance finally relented and married Goddess Parvati. This is also one of the reasons for married women performing the Puja for 16 years.

Shanmukha, the son of Lord Shiva asked His father to narrate a Vratha that could be observed by everyone and which would bestow progeny, prosperity and bliss. Lord Shiva narrated the story to Shanmukha as follows:

There once lived a King, Chandraprabha who was ruling Vimalapur, a city on the banks of the Saraswathi River. All his subjects lived happily under his rule. He had two wives. He loved his first wife, the most.

One day, the King entered a dense forest for hunting. He killed several wild animals such as boar, lion etc. He was tired and was feeling thirsty too. He went in search of water. He saw a pond nearby and descended from his horse to take some water. He saw some women offering Puja near the pond. Curious to know about the Puja, he asked one of the women about the Puja and its significance.

The women said that the Vratha is known as Swarna Gauri Vratha and by performing the Vratha, all the wishes would be bestowed. It is performed on Bhadrapada Shukla Trithiya by married women. They explained the rituals also associated with the Puja. The king was very happy to hear the story. He performed the Vratha with great devotion and tied the sacred thread on his right wrist and came back to his palace.

The king explained about the Vratha to both his wives. The first wife was very angry at his narration, snatched the thread from his right wrist and threw it on a nearby plant which had dried up. After some days, fresh leaves began to sprout from the dried plant. The king’s second wife was happy to see life in the dried plant. She took the thread from the plant and tied it to her wrist and performed the Puja. She was blessed with wealth and prosperity and love of the King.

The first wife, due to her ignorance about the Vratha had to leave the palace. She roamed in forests and had to undergo untold sufferings. As her suffering became unbearable, she wept inconsolably. Goddess Parvati appeared before her and consoled the queen. The queen realised her folly and observed Swarna Gauri Vratha with all devotion. Goddess Gauri bestowed happiness and love of her husband. Both the King and the queen lived happily.

When this is given to a suhasini(mutthaidharu) it should contain all the ingredients enough for two people atleast to cook and eat for one day.
If living abroad and cannot get the moras , buy a big plastic box with lid and use it

Once done, uncover the mora and show to muttaide the items kept inside the mora.

while giving bhagina, the giver says “MUTHAIDHI MUTHAIDHI MORADHA BHAGINA THOGO”.
The receiver must say “SAVITRI SAVTHRI MARADHA BHAGANA KODU”

Repeat this three times.

ನಿನ್ನ ಸೇವಿಸಿ ಉದಕವನೆರೆಯಲು

ಹರಿಗೆ ಸಮರ್ಪಿಸಿದ ತುಳಸಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಲ್ಯವ
ಕೊರಳೊಳು ಧರಿಸಿ ಕರ್ಣದೊಳಿಟ್ಟರೆ
ದುರಿತ ರಾಶಿಗಳೆಲ್ಲ ಅಂಜಿ ಓಡುತಲಿವೆ
ಹರಿಯು ತನ್ನವರೆಂದು ಕೈ ಪಿಡಿವ ||

ಹತ್ತು ಪ್ರದಕ್ಷಿಣೆ ಹತ್ತು ವಂದನೆ ಮಾಡೆ
ಉತ್ತಮ ವೈಕುಂಠ ಪದವೀವಳೆ
ಭಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದಲೆ ಬಂದು ಕೈ ಮುಗಿದವರನ್ನು
