VEDA Temple Commiee Śrī Rāma Sahāyam

Panchānga (Almanac) Calendar – 2014 Panchāngam: Panchāngam provides five basic elements of astrology, Tithi (lunar day or me taken by moon to move 12 degrees), vaara (a day from sunrise to sunrise), Nakshtra (the Zodiac constellaon in which the moon is found on parcular day), yoga (half-day) and karana (angle between sun & moon). These are the main aspects calculated according to the Solar, Lunar and the Earth posions. These five elements play an important role in calculang the muhurthas (auspicious days) for any Hindu rituals. There are three prevalent methods of calculaon for Panchāngam used in different parts of India. Souramanam (Solar calendar - prevalent in Kerala and Tamilnadu), Chandramanam (lunar Calendar - prevalent in Andhra, Karnataka, , and other states of North India), Baarhaspatyamaana (Jupiterian calendar -which is said to be prevalent in North India).

Panchāngam in India and US: The lunar movements calculate Tithi and Nakshtra, the main angas of Panchāngam. When one Tithi or Nakshatram begins and ends, it happens at the same instance all over the world, which is called the Universal me . Based on the me zones, the Tithi and Nakshatram will begin/end at different local mings in different parts of the world. Since India has a lile variaon in terms of sunrise/sunset, Panchāngam computed for one area of the country is generally applicable to the other parts of the country as well. But when it comes to other parts of the world, same universal me should be translated into the corresponding local me in terms of the longitude and latude. As North America’s PST is 13 ½ hours past Indian Standard Time, it is not appropriate to use the calendar, prepared for Indian local me. Keeping these aspects in mind, our astrologers and scholars prepared Panchāngam calculated for our local me, i.e. PST & PDT. In the current Calendar we have put all efforts to provide as many details as possible. For further details like Muhurthas, please consult our scholars, personally or through email. Daily use of this calendar helps everyone to understand and monitor the prevailing planetary forces of the day. Accuracy of the above menoned Panchāngam aributes depending upon Moon's moon are more crucial for the reliability of Panchāngam. Because Moon is the fastest among all the heavenly enes shown in tradional Panchāngas, Tithi, Nakshatra, Rasi, Yoga, and Karana depend on Moon's moon. There are three popular meanings of the term Panchāngam. Vedic astrology meaning is "five aributes" of the day. The five aributes are:

Tithi: Ending Moment (EM) of elongaon of the Moon, the lunar day, the angular relaonship between Sun and Moon (True Moon minus True Sun). One Tithi equals 12 degree difference between Moon and Sun. Nakshatra: EM of asterism of the day, that is, the stellar mansion in which Moon is located for an observer on Earth. One Nakshatra equals 13 degrees: 20 minutes. There are 27 Nakshatra in 360 degrees. Yoga: EM of the angular relaonship between Sun and Moon (True Moon plus True Sun). One Yoga equals 13 degrees:20 minutes. There are 27 Yogas in 360 degrees. Karana: EM of half of a Tithi. One Karana equals 6 degree difference between Moon and Sun. Rasi: The zodiac signs or rasi - EM of the sidereal sign of the zodiac for the Moon.

Tithi: The thi is the longitude of the Moon minus that of the Sun. First thi (Prathama) begins when thi is 0° and ends when it is 12°; 12° to 24° is dviya, 24° to 36° is Triya etc. 168° to 180° is Poornima, 180° to 192° is Dark fortnight Prathama 192° to 204° is Dviya.etc. 348° to 360° is Amãvãsya. So, there are 30 this -15 are called Suddha (Shukla) Paksha (Bright fortnight or waxing phase) the other 15 Bahula (Krishna) Paksha (Dark fortnight or waning phase). The thi of a day is usually taken to be the thi current at sunrise on that day. Since the moment of the sunrise is not the same at all places it is to be noted that occasionally a thi current at sunrise at one place may not be current at sunrise at another place. It is also possible for a parcular thi to be current at sunrise on two successive days. So when two successive days have the same thi associated with them, the 1st day is called Tridina. It is also likely that a thi may begin aer sunrise and end before the next sunrise. In such a case a thi is skipped over and that day is called AVAMA. The concept of good ming is provided by this calendar and one can take advantage of auspicious moments by avoiding when the creave forces of this planetary system are on the wane.

VEDA Temple Commiee Śrī Rāma Sahāyam

A Message from the Founder, Chairman and Chief Priest of VEDA I would like to extend my hearelt and prosperous wishes for the New Year 2014 ahead to all the devotees of VEDA, in the bay area as well as from all parts of the country. Our vision and original plan for the year 2013 were fulfilled with Prana Prashtapana being a grand success with the help of all the dedicated devotees and the grace of Lord Sri Satyanaryana Swamy. Standing at the heart of the bay area, I feel that the Milpitas City has now transformed into “Melpitha Nagaram”, which is equal to Sri Chakra Peetham (bhaavana). I would request all of you to come to the temple to get blessings of Swamy and parcipate in the Ekantha Seva puja that is conducted every day at 9pm . संवसरं दतो भवत - If you can take the deeksha for one full year and aend the Ekantha Seva having Aishwarya Teertham every day, it will yield to a prosperous year to the enre family. मासं दतो भवत - You can also take the deeksha at least for one month and get similar results for a month as well. The benefit of taking the Aishwarya Teertham can be summarized as समागण ससकपेन ससादायेन भगवदनुहेण भगवेरणया य लयते तवम ् इत य शुधः । The wealth that is accumulated through the truthful way of life, with good thoughts, in a tradional way, with the grace of Swamy, with the direcon from your believed Devathas will be cleansed from all the impuries and will become pure and pious. The temple has become a great plaorm to local arsts, like dancing, singing, language learning, spiritual classes, yoga classes, meditaon classes, and many local organizaons. Lord Satanarayana Swamy’s blessings will always be there with local organizaons like Silicon Andhra, BATA, Tamil Manram, Kuta, Bay Area Vasavi Foundaon (Sakhi), etc. In addion, we have been conducng Vedam classes and Durga Saptasa classes on every Wednesday evening at 8pm from several years. I express my humble gratude to past president Sri Jagadish Babu Pasumarthy and also extend my wishes to the current president Sri Krishna Viswanatham and office bearers. Hard work, commitment and dedicaon shown by the temple president with the support from execuve commiee and working commiee members and many volunteers were instrumental in developing the temple and helping it grow day by day. I also extend my gratude towards the group of volunteers who are taking care of flowers decoraon and making garlands at the temple. This calendar provides vital and important details like Tithi, Varam, Nakshatram, Varjyam, Rahukalam & Durmuhurtam required for us in our daily life and for observing our rituals as well. In addion, we also provided auspicious days and mings like excellent and average. Devotees while looking for an auspicious me are advised to omit any applicable Rahukalam, Varjyam and Durmuhurtham for that day. While thanking all the devotees for all their unwavering effort and generous support extended so far for this noble cause, I would also request and sincerely pray that all the devotees will extend similar support for all our future projects such as Phase 2 of the temple construcon, which includes Shikharam for all deies. We now have six priests serving the VEDA temple, Jagadish Sharma, Nagendra Sharma, Sivarama Sharma, Mrutyunjaya Sharma, Anjaneya Kumar, and Phani Raja Kumar who are instrumental in temple’s success with their knowledge, excellent work, co-operaon and coordinaon.

VEDA Temple Commiee Śrī Rāma Sahāyam

A Message from the VEDA Temple President

Dear Devotees, On behalf of the VEDA commiees, I wish you all a very happy new year and look forward to a fruiul 2014. Since its incepon, VEDA has grown over the years into a well-recognized instuon, catering to religious, spiritual, and cultural needs and spreading awareness of Sanatana Dharma in the Bay Area. I feel privileged to serve this venerable instuon for a divine cause as President of VEDA. Sri Satyanarayana Swamy Devasthanam (SSSD) had a monumental 2013. The first phase of construcon of the Garbhagudi for SSSD started on January 2, 2013. I served as the President of the Construcon Commiee, an opportunity for which I am grateful. With significant leadership, support, and contribuons from VEDA commiees, volunteers, and devotees, we completed the majority of the construcon in a record me of five months for the Prana Prashta . This highly aended program provided us with the most divine and unique experience of our lives. Aer the Prana Prathishta, day-to-day operaons of SSSD immediately resumed in our new temple complex, and the new execuve commiee commenced dues. Our inial goals were to quickly operaonalize the facility, to ensure the sancty of the religious services, and to provide a safe, serene, and clean environment for devotees. We strove to make the facility fully funconal and to provide an efficient work environment for the priests, and we took quick acons to improve priest welfare. As a sign of auspicious start to temple operaons, the temple hosted a talk on Devi Bhagavatam by Sri Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma, Ashtavadhanam and Srimad Bhagavata Saptaham by Sri Vaddipar Padmakar, and a weeklong Bhagavad Geeta camp by HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami. New programs such as weekly abhishekams for all deies and enhanced temple puja services were introduced. Other notable acvies with growing parcipaon were Ganapthi Navarathri and Sarad Navarathri celebraons and the ever-popular Karthika Masa Deeksha. I am happy to announce that we received formal approvals to hire two more priests to address the increasing demand by the devotee community for on- and off-site priest services from VEDA. The execuve commiee formally launched Phase II of the construcon program to address the remaining funconal and aesthec needs of SSSD. This includes the construcon of the outer sikharam for the Rama Satyanarayan Swamy sanctum and inner sikharams for the Shiva, Vinayaka, Karthikeya, Durga, Saraswathi and Kanyaka Parameswari sanctums. The sikharam project also includes compleng all sthapthi -related work for the outer walls of all sanctums. In addion, we will install a semi-commercial kitchen, replace the aging roof, and improve landscaping. We also launched the abharanam program to procure abharanas and silverware for all deies and sanctums. These programs are structured to allow devotees to fund the cost with their generous contribuons, at various levels, with sasfacon of parcipang in a divine cause. As we look forward to serving VEDA and the devotee community, we want to ensure our temple sustains as an ongoing instuon with revenues generated through religious services, hundi collecons, and sponsorship programs such as floral and annadanam acvies. We also plan to complete Phase II of SSSD’s development with minimal debt burden on VEDA while fulfilling financial obligaons to instuons and, more importantly, to those devotees who stepped forward to help VEDA at mes of need. We aim for an efficient financial structure with clear visibility, responsibility, accountability, and controls. On behalf of VEDA, I assure you that upholding our divine instuon’s beliefs and ensuring devotee sasfacon is our paramount endeavor. I look forward to hearing from you and of your contribuons to VEDA as we connue on this journey together. With best wishes on behalf of the VEDA commiees ,

VEDA Temple Commiee Śrī Rāma Sahāyam

Preface for the Calendar 2014

Year aer year, for the last 7 years, the temple’s unique calendar has been emerging as an integral part of devotees’ dinacharya . Albert Einstein proved to the world that the three dimensions of space and the 4th dimension of me are inseparable. The physical existence of the three dimensions of our body and mind are incomplete without the context of me. Time has some most powerful, divine properes, realizing which will have a great impact on the three dimensions of our physical existence. These properes are not too difficult to comprehend, but we sll fail to see them because of the abstract nature of me. Instead, we get obsessed with the more percepble three dimensions of our physical body.

Fortunately, religion helps here. Hinduism is full of deep knowledge that reveals itself only to the analyzing mind that’s in constant quest for truth. Truth is a maer of me. No lie can hide from me. As said in Bhagavad Gita, me is God Himself, who is the absolute truth. Truth is pure, which is beauful ( Satyam, Sivam, Sundaram ). There is no death to Siva even when he drinks poison. Even Siva’s own power in Bhasmasura’s hands could not destroy Siva. That's the power of truth, purity, and inner beauty: Satyam, Sivam, Sundaram . The purity that loves even Bhasmasura; the truth that is accepted even when it is poison; the inner beauty that is conspicuous even when covered with ashes. The three never die. Take all yuga purushas (the person of the mes) – Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, and Lord Buddha. We see these three qualies in abundance in them. Time imbibes all the three qualies into one who is in quest of these qualies.

The VEDA calendar, which incorporates the panchanga and various unique features, can be used as one of the tools for such a quest. It helps understand and pracce the impact of me on life. This new year, let us resolve to bring about a paradigm shi – from our obsession with the destrucble, physical self to a deep indulgence into the 4th dimension of us – the me. When we so indulge, we automacally do what the me likes and preserves – the good. We will also then perceive the energy or the life in us, which is indestrucble like the me. Just like the principle of conservaon of energy, I believe there is this principle of conservaon of life. The energy in us, called the life, never dies, even when the body it takes on dies. It is this meless, indestrucble life in us that we need to get obsessed with – not the transient physical forms that it takes on. I earnestly believe and hope that the VEDA calendar is a great help to us in this loy New Year resoluon. Happy New Year and Happiness Always! With Every Best Wish, Vishnu Pendyala Humble Devotee of VEDA Temple Email: [email protected]

Śrī Satyanārāyana Swāmy Vratha Katha

Lord Krishna Says in Bhagavad Gita (Ch4.9) "Janma Karma cha may divyam yevam yo veththi tha-thwathah . ... " One who knows My divine birth and activities will not be born again". Sri Satyanarayana katha is one s uch activity of the Lord, by studying which we have every chance of being liberated. Sri Sathyanarayana katha forms a vital and integral part of this pooja. Not listening to t he katha will be a major loss. Repeatedly hearing t his story and meditating on its different aspects will make us more and more interested in the Lord and His activities. As the Lord Himself says further in Gita (Ch9.14) "Sathatham keerthayantho maam yathanthascha dradhavrathaah: "The mahaatmaas among devotees, always speak and sing My glories, and try with determination, to realize Me ". Chapter 1 Once upon a time, the various sages assembled at the Naimisha forest and approached the great sage Soota, and asked him, "By doing which worship of penance can o ne's desires be fulfilled? Please tell us." The gre at sage Soota replied, "Earlier the great sage Narada asked the same question to Lord Vishnu, the consort of Lakshmi. Let me repeat what Lord Vishnu told Narada. Please listen intently." Once, Narada, during one of his sojourns to the var ious worlds, came to earth. There he saw the people suffering as a result of their past deeds. To alleviate their sufferings and bring them salvation, Narada traveled to Vishnu Loka. There he found Lord Vishnu adorned with 'Sanhka', 'Chakra', 'Gadha' and Lotus in his four hands and a Garland around his neck. Narada spoke humbly: "Oh, Supreme Lord, the savior of the destitute and the t roubled, I surrender at thy feet." Asked Lord Vishnu: "Narada. why have you come here? Tell me what you want and I would fulfill your wishes." To which Narada replied, "Oh, Bhagavan. people on earth are suffering in many ways as a result of their own past sinful deeds. Please besto w thy grace and reveal to me as to how they can be helped." Lord Vishnu replied, "Oh, Narada, mankind can rid itself of all its sorrows by performing a puja called SATYANARAYANA PUJA. This puja when performed accord ing to religious rites will bring happiness, peace of mind and wealth in this life and salvation beyond." On hearing this, Narada was filled with joy and ad dressed Lord Vishnu thus: "Oh Lord, in your infinite grace, please tell me the details of the puja that you just mentioned, how and when to perform it and who has performed it bef ore". Lord Vishnu answered: "This puja can be performed on a full-moon day, Ekadasi, auspicious days, when fac ed with difficulties or any day the devotee wishes to do. One must gather his friends and relatives perform the p uja with devotion and offer fruits, ghee, milk, cur d, butter, wheat flour, sugar and honey to the god. After the puja is over, he must read the Satyanarayana Katha and di stribute prasad to everybody. If the puja is thus performed, it will bring fulfillment of one's wishes. Particu larly, in the Kaliyuga, this puja brings contentment."

VEDA Temple Commiee Śrī Rāma Sahāyam

Chapter 2 Maharishi Sootha continued addressing the assembled rishis, "Oh Rishis, I will tell you who all have o bserved the Satyanarayana puja in the past. Once, there lived a very poor Brahmin in the beautiful city of Kasi. P lagued by acute hunger, he used to wander about here and ther e every day. Lord Vishnu took the form of an old ma n, appeared before the poor Brahmin and asked: "Friend , why are you wandering aimlessly?" The poor Brahmi n replied. "Sir. I am a very poor man. Unable to bear the pangs of hunger, I beg for alms. Sir, if you k now a way out of this misery, please tell me." Whereupon, Lord Vishnu, who was in the guise of an old man, replied, "Oh, Brahmin,Lord Satyanarayana grants his devotee's wis hes and removes their sorrows. So you should perfor m his Puja and reap its benefits." Lord Vishnu then expla ined the details of the Satyanarayana Vratha to the poor Brahmin and disappeared. The poor Brahmin immediate ly resolved to perform the puja. After a sleepless night, he got up early in the morning and went to beg for alms, his mind fixed on only one thing, namely the puj a. That day he got a lot of money with which he bought fruits a nd milk, curd and honey and performed the puja with his relatives and friends. With Lord Satyanrayana's grace, he shed his poverty and lived a contented life. Every month on the full moon day he performed and finally attai ned Moksha (salvation). Maharishi Sootha thus told the assembled rishis the story which originally was nar rated by Lord Vishnu to Narada Muni. The rishis aga in addressed Maharishi Sootha: "Oh. the Great One. please tell us in detail who else performed the puja." Maharishi Sootha continued: One day when the poor Brahmin from Kasi was observing the Satyanarayana Vratha, a wood- cutter entered his house and asked for water. Seeing the Brahmin perform the puja, the wood-cutter inq uired what the puja was about and what good it would bring. Th e Brahmin, who had been bestowed with Lord Narayana 's grace, spoke: "This is called Satyanarayana Vratha. Anyone who observes this Vratha will get all riche s. I myself have been bestowed with wealth." The wood-cutter wa s delighted to hear this. He learned the proper way to perform the puja, ate the prasad that was offered and went his way. With Lord Satyanarayana in his min d, the wood-cutter resolved thar he would observe the Vrat ha with whatever he was going to make by selling firewood that day. He went to that part of the city where rich people lived, sold the firewood and made twice t he normal profit. Pleased with his luck the wood-cutter bought bananas, sugar, ghee,-milk, curd. honey and wheat flour and performed the Satyanarayana puja with his friends and relatives. By Lord Narayana's grace, he acquired enormous wealth and lived comfortably and attained moksha (s alvation). Chapter 3 Maharishi Sootha continued: "Oh, best of ascetics, I will now tell you the story further. In the olden days there lived a wise king by the name Ulkamukha. He had mas tered all his senses and always spoke truth. He use d to go to the temple every day and give gifts to the Brahm ins. His lotus-faced wife was a pure and pious woma n. One

VEDA Temple Commiee Śrī Rāma Sahāyam day, the royal couple was performing the Satyanarayana puja at the banks of the river Bhadrasheela. At that time a merchant called Sadhu sailed by. Seeing the King perform some puja, Sadhu stopped his boat, got off and addressed the king humbly: "Oh, King, would you kin dly tell me what you are doing with such devotion and concentration?" The King replied, "Oh, Sadhu, I have no children. In order that I may be blessed with children, I am worshipping the Almighty Lord Satyanaryana."On h earing this Sadhu spoke humbly: "Oh, King, please t ell me how to perform the puja. I would like to observe th e Vratha, as I too have no children." The King told him all the details. Sadhu returned home and with great joy tol d his wife that they should perform Satyanarayana puja which will fulfill their desire to have children. He then resolved to perform the puja after the child was born. Then by the divine grace, Sadhu's wife Leelavathi conceived and in due course, a beautiful daughter was born to them. They named the child Kalavathi. One day, Leelavathi remi nded her husband of his promise to perform puja. Sadhu told his wife that he would do the puja at the time of h is daughter's wedding and got busy with his work. I n the meantime, Kalavathi grew up and blossomed into a lo vely girl. Sadhu sent out messengers to find a suit able bridegroom for his daughter. One of his messengers found a good-natured and handsome boy in a Vaishya family from Kaanchana Nagar. Sadhu found the boy to be a s uitable match for Kalavathi and celebrated his daug hter's wedding with great pomp and show. But Sadhu complet ely forgot about the Satyanarayana puja and thus angered Lord Satyanarayana. Then, one day Sadhu went on a business trip with his son-in-law. He stopped to trade at Ratnapura that was ruled by king Chandraketu. Lord Satyanarayana placed a cu rse on Sadhu. One day, some thieves robbed the king 's treasury and were running away. The king's soldiers followed them in hot pursuit. The frightened thieves threw all the things they had robbed near Sadhu and escaped. Finding the king's treasure near Sadhu and his son, in-law, the king's soldiers arrested them and brought them before the king. The king ordered them to be chaine d and thrown into prison. Because of Lord Narayana's Maya, nobody even listened to what Sadhu had to say in his defense. King Chandraketu also confiscated all their merchandise. Lord Narayana's curse did not spare Sadhu's wife. Some robbers broke into her house and Leelavathi lost everything. One day, Kalavathi was very hungry and ran out of the house. She wandered here and there a nd stopped at a house where Satyanarayana puja was being performed. She stayed at that place until the puja was finished and ate the prasad that was offered. W hen she reached home, it was late night. Leelavathi asked her where she had been. Kalavathi told her mother th at she was listening to Satyanarayana Katha in somebody's Hous e. Leelavathi at once remembered her husband's prom ise to perform the puja and resolved to observe Satyanarayana Vratha herself. She collected all her relati ves and friends and prayed to Lord Saryanarayana to forgive their sins. Lord Saryanarayana was pleased with Le elavathi's prayers. He appeared before King Chandraketu in his dream and told him to release the two merchants from prison as they were not the real thieves. If the king failed to do so, Lord Narayana warned that his kingdom, wealth and children would all be destroyed. Next morning, the king told his counselors about his dream and ordered Sadhu

The king talked to them gently and said, "You two have suffered a great deal because of your fate, but there is nothing to fear,"The king returned their merchandise, gave them new clothes and lots of gifts and bade them good-bye. Chapter 4 Sadhu and son-in-law loaded their boat with the riches given to them by the king and sailed homeward. Lord Satyanarayana wanted to test the Sadhu further. He took the form of an ascetic with a trident, appeared before Sadhu and asked him what he was carrying in his boat.Without realizing that the ascetic was indeed Lor d Narayana in disguise, Sadhu laughed mockingly and said, "You Brahmin, were you thinking of stealing my things? We do not have any valuables in the boat except vessels and leaves." Whereupon Lord Nayarana replied, "Oh Sadhu, so be it." The ascetic then departed in great haste and stood by the seashore. When Sadhu went into his boat , he discovered to his horror that the boat was filled with vessels and leaves just as he had falsely told the ascetic. Sadhu swooned at the sight but he was revived by hi s son-in-law who spoke: "This must be the curse of the ascetic. He must be a mystic. Let's go to him and a sk his forgiveness." The two merchants then went to the seashore where the ascetic was meditating. They fel l at his feet and repeatedly begged for his forgive ness. Pleased by Sadhu's devotion, the Lord said, "Sadhu, do not weep. You suffer because you have broken yo ur promise time and again." On hearing this. Sadhu pra yed to God, "Oh Lord, even Brahma and other Devas drowned in your Maya, cannot comprehend your form completel y. How can I, with my limited knowledge, comprehend your various forms? I pray within my limited knowledge. Please show me your true form and bless me." Upon h earing his prayer, God was pleased and granted his wishes, restoring his merchandise in the boat, and disappe ared. The two merchants then joyfully sailed homeward. On rea ching their hometown, they sent a messenger to their wives to inform them of their safe arrival. At that time, Leelavathi and Kalavathi were performing Satyanara yana puja. Leelavathi quickly finished the puja and asked her daughter to do so. She then hurried to the seashore to meet her husband. Kalavathi, in her eagerness to meet her husband, forgot to eat the prasad and rushes to t he seashore. This action of hers angered Lord Satyanarayana. He caused the ship and her husband to drown in the sea. Not finding her husband, Kalavathi started weeping. All were wonderstruck and frightened. Sadhu was at a loss to know what to do. Thinking that it was Lord Narayana 's Maya, he announced to that he would perform Satyanarayana puja and prayed to Lord again and aga in. At this, Lord Satyanarayana, the savior of the sinners, was very pleased and said, "Oh Sadhu, your daughter did not eat the prasad in her haste to see her husband, so I made him and the boat disappear. Let her go home, take the prasad and return." On hearing this, Kala vathi rushed and took the prasad. When she returned to th e seashore, she found to her joy her husband and th e boat. Then Sadhu returned home happily with his relatives and performed the Satyanarayana puja every full moon day. With God's grace, he enjoyed all the comforts in this world and finally attained salvation.

Chapter 5 Maharishi Sootha continued: "Once there was a king called Thungadhwaja who underwent a lot of misery after refusing the Satyanarayana prasad." One day, after hunting, he was resting under a shady tree. Some co wherds were happily performing Satyanarayana puja nearby. The King, in his vanity, refused the prasad they offered. On the way to his palace, he found that his kingdom, his 100 sons, his wealth and everything was destroyed. Then it occurred to him that Lord Satyanarayana was probabl y angry with him. He went back to the cowherds, prostrated himself before Lord Satyanarayana and performed the puja with great devotion. Lord Satyanarayana showe red His blessings and the King regained everything he had lost earlier. He lived happily and reached Vaikuntha after death. Maharishi Sootha said, "Oh holy men, I have narrate d to you the Satyanaryana Katha which was originally told by Lord Vishnu to Narada Muni. By observing this Vratha, mankind can attain salvation. In this Kaliyuga, observance of the Vratha can lead to gratification of one's, wishes." Thus ended the narration of Maharishi Sooth a after which Shownak and other rishis returned to their respecti ve places. Lord Viṣṇu has incarnated in many forms, like Śrī Rama, Śrī Krishna, Lord Venkate śwara and more. In Kaliyuga, any pūja performed to Lord Viṣṇu reaches to none other than Lord Satyanārāyana Sw āmy himself.
