Yesterday Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation celebrated the festival of Dhanlaxmi Poojan in a pompous way to mark to beginning of the festival or light, happiness, devotion and fervour for all Shraddhavans. The celebrations were graced by divine presence of Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu,. Param Poojya Nandai and Param Poojya Suchitdada.


During the Utsav Sadguru Bapu Himself touched all the Padukas with His feet and blessed them so that the can be handed over to all the Upasana Centres affiliated to Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation.

Further as like every year kindly find the details of poojan to be performed on the days of Padwa and Laxmi Poojan.
1) Poojan to be Performed on the Day of Padwa

Shraddhavans should get up early in the morning and in the wee hours should perform the below described ritual.

* We should clean our house with broom and collect the waste on a cardboard.

* After this we should enlighten a light made from dough in which we should use ghee as fuel.

*We should then place a sweet (foodstuff) on the cardboard.

* We should then take this cardboard (with all the stuffs on it) around our entire house.

* One person should follow this person who is carrying cardboard with a plate which should be beaten to produce sound.

* We should place our old broom outside our house in a corner.

* We should then place this cardboard besides this broom and carry both of these things to be throw in the garbage bin near our house.

* We should then join our hands and pray saying the following words "ईडा, पीडा टलो, बळीचे राज्ययेवो" ("Let all the unholy come to end and let there be rule of King Bali").

2) Poojan to be Performed on the Day of Laxmi Poojan

* We should keep 5 fruits & a mixture of coriander seeds and jaggery as holy offering (Prasad).

* We should keep a new broom on the starting line of our house (उंबरठा) and offer kumkum and turmeric powder (haldi) to it  and offer the following prayer " हे लक्ष्मीमाते - नंदामाते, तू नेहमी माझ्या चुका दाखव. आईच्या मायेने माझ्या अंगावरून हात फिरव. बहिणीसारखे वाटेतील काटे काढ, पापणिच्या केसासारखा माझ्या मनातील व घरातील कचरा काढ आणि माझ्या घरात नंदामाते मते तू सतत वावरत रहा ही तुझ्या चरणी प्रार्थना." ("Oh Goddess Lakshmi i.e. my P. P. Nandai, You always bring my mistakes to my notice. Shower love on me like my mother. Be my sister and remove obstacles in my way. Remove dirt from my house and mind like an eyelid. And finally I pray and urge You to stay in my house for ever").
