Srividya Guruprasad2 Comments

Narasimha JAyanthi is celebrated on Vaishakha Shukla Chaturdashi.

Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Narasimha, a half lion and half man, to kill Demon Hiranyakashipu.

When Vaisakha Sukla Chaturdashi, Saturday, and Swati Nakshatra come together on the same day, it is considered as most auspicious

PANAKA PUJA

Srividya Guruprasad3 Comments

When you should do?

Right from the yugadhi to Vaishaka amavasya, You can do Panaka pooja on any day except on Ekadashis.

You can do panaka pooja on Dashami, Dwadashi, Pournami, Amavasa, or your Janma Nakshatra day are any other suitable days

Mostly I have seen people doing panaka pooja on dwadashi’s. As we consume paarana early in the morning, it would be nice to have panaka pooja in the noon time

when and how you should do?

Mostly this pooja is done around 3.30 to 4.00 pm  in the evening. Invite relatives and friends to your home

Prepare dishes like Hunisehannu avalakki, Mosaru avalakki, Rava kesari, sandige, kosambari, panaka, butter milk(neer more), Fruit salads etc

Before serving to guests, do Neivedhya of the prepared dishes and fruits to parmathma and Give thamboola to brahmana , mutthaidharu.

As it is summer months(Chaithra & vaishaka), along with Panaka pooja vilyadhaladike, You can also plan to give dana items like Umbrella, Chappals, Udakumbha dhana etc
