Jio, BSNL, Vodafone, AirTel Diwali Festivals Offrs Competition Unlimited Calling and Unlimited Data Plan

Over the last few months, telecom operator Reliance Jio has been silent in the tariff department because it’s still offering the best prepaid plans in the industry and no other telco has been able to match it. After close to ten months, Reliance Jio has introduced a prepaid plan, but don’t get excited as it’s an annual plan, not a three-month or monthly prepaid plan. Jio has come up with an annual prepaid plan of Rs 1,699 taking the competition to a whole new level in the telecom industry. With the new prepaid plan, the telco is providing an excellent 1.5GB data per day, which takes the overall data benefit to 547.5GB for 365 days. Not only that, the telco has come up with a Diwali offer under which it’s offering 100% cashback to all the users on every prepaid plan.

BSNL has now launched a new prepaid plan of Rs 78 ahead of Diwali. That being said, it’s one of the best prepaid plans priced under Rs 100 from the state-run telco. BSNL is shipping a total of 20GB data along with unlimited voice calling with this prepaid plan. And the best part is the plan’s availability is across the 20 telecom circles where BSNL is operating.

Vodafone launched a couple of prepaid plans priced at Rs 511 and Rs 569 taking on Airtel and Reliance Jio’s offerings. With the Rs 511 prepaid plan, Vodafone is offering a whopping 168GB of 4G data and this plan takes on Airtel’s Rs 499 prepaid plan which also provides similar data benefit. The Rs 569 prepaid plan, on the other hand, takes on Airtel’s Rs 558 prepaid plan as both of them provides 3GB daily data for 84 days. Notably, both the Rs 511 and Rs 569 prepaid plans from Vodafone are valid across the countr.

Jio Brings Yet Another Annual Prepaid Plan Taking Competition to a New Level

Reliance Jio Rs 1,699 Prepaid Recharge: Benefits and Details

Jio’s new prepaid recharge of Rs 1,699 offers benefits for 365 days from the date of recharge. This new plan from the telecom service provider provides 1.5GB of 4G data every day which takes the overall data benefit for 547.5GB. Jio users recharging with this plan can also enjoy unlimited voice calls without any FUP limit and 100 SMS per day for the same validity period.

Notably, this is the cheapest yearly prepaid plan launched by any 4G telecom service provider in the country right now. BSNL also come up with a similarly priced plan of Rs 1,699, but the telco is providing just 3G data benefit. And the data benefit offered by Reliance Jio is also acceptable for the most part.

Reliance Jio Diwali Offer: 100% Cashback on All the Prepaid Plans

Furthermore, Reliance Jio has come up with a Diwali offer under which the telco is offering 100% cashback on all the recharge value. Prepaid plans eligible for the cashback are: Rs 149, Rs 198, Rs 299, Rs 349, Rs 398, Rs 399, Rs 448, Rs 449, Rs 498, Rs 509, Rs 799, Rs 999, Rs 1,699, Rs 1,999, Rs 4,999 and Rs 9,999. Notably, all the prepaid plans priced above Rs 100 are eligible for the 100% cashback offer. For the users recharging with the newly launched Rs 1,699 prepaid plan, Jio will offer them three vouchers of Rs 500 worth and one voucher of Rs 200.

All these prepaid plans will receive 100% cashback voucher which can be redeemed across all the Reliance Digital stores on a minimum purchase of Rs 5,000. Do make a note that a user can not club two vouchers with one transaction. And the vouchers will expire on December 31, 2018.

In addition, you must know that some of the items on Reliance Digital Stores are not available for redemption using these vouchers. The items exempted from this offer are gift vouchers/gift cards of Cleartrip, KFC, Bookmyshow, Google Play and Google. Hard disks of Seagate, Western Digital, Sony and tables of Lenovo and Samsung are not applicable under this offer. Lastly, you can not purchase any phones of Samsung and Xiaomi using these vouchers.

Jio Crossed 250 Million Subscriber Base

Reliance Jio, the telecom arm of Reliance Industries Limited has amassed 250 million users in just 25 months after opening the services to the public. RIL made this announcement yesterday, and this new Diwali offer comes as a perfect announcement to celebrate the milestone.

BSNL Ships 20GB Data and Unlimited Voice Calling With its New Entry-Level Prepaid Plan

BSNL Prepaid STV 78: Benefits and Validity

Moving onto the benefits offered by this new prepaid plan from BSNL, it offers unlimited voice calls without any FUP limit to any network within India. Notably, BSNL is offering voice calls even to the numbers located in Mumbai and Delhi circles. Furthermore, BSNL is touting unlimited video calling option with this prepaid plan which can be activated by sending an SMS to 123 as ‘STV COMBO78.’

And finally, we get to the data benefit. With its new Rs 78 prepaid plan, the telco is offering a total of 2GB data per day, post which users will get speeds of 80 Kbps. Anupam Shrivastava CMD BSNL said that on the “Occasion of Durga Puja, Dussehra and Diwali, STV-78 will suit to all and will enable them to be in touch with their family and friends during the festive season.”

The validity of the plan is ten days, meaning users will be able to enjoy high-speed data of up to 20GB.

BSNL Withdraws Existing Prepaid STV 78

For the unaware, BSNL is already offering an STV 78 for its prepaid users in various circles. After the introduction of new STV 78, BSNL has withdrawn the earlier available similar denomination prepaid plan. The withdrawal plan offers 2GB of data for a period of three days, but it was introduced long back before the entry of Reliance Jio. So BSNL has revised its Rs 78 plan to offer ten times data benefit than earlier, and it also added unlimited voice calling benefit to the pack.

BSNL Keeps on Taking Private Telecom Operators

In the last few weeks, there has been a shift towards voice-only plans with Vodafone and Airtel leading the way. But BSNL is following the footsteps of Jio as it continues to offer combo prepaid plans which offer equally better voice calling and data benefits. The newly launched STV 78 is a clear example. Vodafone has recently launched a prepaid plan of Rs 279 offering unlimited voice calls and 4GB data for 84 days. Then there’s a Rs 189 prepaid plan with unlimited voice calling and 2GB data for 56 days. BSNL is offering neither these plans, but the telco has its own set of plans which prove to be better than private telecom operators tariff plans.

Vodafone Rs 511 Prepaid Plan With 168GB Of 4G Data and Unlimited Calling Introduced to Take On Airtel

Vodafone Rs 569 and Rs 511 Prepaid Plans: Benefits and Details

Getting into the specifics, the all-new Rs 569 plan by Vodafone ships 3GB of 4G/3G data per day along with unlimited voice calls capped daily and weekly according to the FUP limit. There are also 100 SMS per day bundled in the pack. On the other hand, the Rs 511 plan gives 2GB of 4G/3G data per day combined with the usual unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day. The validity of both the plans is 84 days. The cap for voice calling has been set at 250 minutes per day and 1000 minutes per week for these plans.

On the whole, Vodafone India is offering 252GB of 4G/3G data at just Rs 569 for 84 days, and the Rs 511 plan gives 168GB data for 84 days. Clearly, the Rs 569 plan is a better one even as it’s priced slightly higher.

Vodafone Continues to Sell Other Prepaid Plans of Rs 549 and Rs 509

Besides these new plans, Vodafone continues to sell its other prepaid plans of Rs 549 and Rs 509, offering 3.5GB data and 1.4GB data per day for 28 days and 90 days respectively. Like other Vodafone plans, these prepaid packs also come with 100 SMS per day along with unlimited calling benefits.

Vodafone Rs 569 vs Airtel Rs 558 Prepaid Plan

On the other hand, Airtel is also offering a prepaid plan of Rs 558 which gives a user 3GB data per day, unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day for a period of 82 days. While Vodafone is restricting the voice calls to 250 minutes per day, Airtel doesn’t have any such FUP limit on its voice calls.

In contrast, Reliance Jio has a Rs 448 prepaid plan that offers 2GB of 4G data per day benefit for 84 days, while the Rs 498 plan gives 2GB data per day benefit for 91 days.

Aforesaid, Vodafone India is still offering the Rs 549 and Rs 509 prepaid plans, which takes on Jio’s prepaid offerings. The Rs 549 prepaid plan is currently offering 3.5GB data per day benefit while the Rs 509 plan is providing users with 1.4GB data benefit per day. The Rs 549 plan is valid for 28 days whereas the Rs 509 plan is valid for 90 days.

Vodafone Beats Jio in the Data War

With the Rs 569 plan, Vodafone India has managed to beat Reliance Jio in the data war. With this plan, Vodafone has brought down the value of per GB to just Rs 2.25 and that’s a masterstroke from the country’ second largest telecom service provider. Vodafone might remove the Rs 549 prepaid plan anytime as the Rs 569 plan has been introduced as a pan-India plan.

Govardhan Puja 2018: Significance and History of Govardhan Puja or Annakut Puja

According to the scriptures, the people of Vrindawan used to offer lavish meals to Lord Indra-The God of rain and storm, to make sure he blesses them with timely rainfall and good harvest. Little Krishna found the practice to be too harsh for the small-time farmers, and convinced them to stop making these offerings to Lord Indra and feed their families instead. On not finding his ritualistic offerings, Indra sent down rain and thunderstorm out of anger in Vrindawan. The rains continued for days.

Fearing for their lives, the villagers approached Krishna for help who then asked everyone to proceed to the Govardhan hill. Once there, he lifted the whole hill with his little finger, people trickled under the hill to take shelter from the storm.

Krishna stood there for seven days, holding the mountain on his little finger without moving. Ultimately Indra had to bow to the might of Krishna and stop the rains. Post this episode, women of Vrindawan cooked 56 dishes for Krishna. It is said that Krishna took 8 meals in a day. Since he stood for seven days without a single morsel of food, the women decided to make up for it with a lavish chappan bhog (a meal consisting 56 items like halwa, ladoos, mishri and peda).

On this auspicious day, several pilgrims go to the Govardhan hill and offer food and delicacies to Lord Krishna. Those who cannot go to the Govardhan hill, offer him the bhog of 56 items in their homes. Devotees celebrate Govardhan pooja by literally offering a mountain of food to Lord Krishna called Annakoot. Some of the common items found in the chappan bhog are makhan misri, kheer, rasgulla,jeera ladoo, jalebi, rabri, mathri, malpua, mohan bhog, chutney, murabba, saag, dahi, rice, dal, kadhi, ghewar, chila, papad, moong dal ka halwa, pakoda, khichadi etc.

There is also a common ritual of making small mounds of cow dung to represent Govardhan Mountain, which is then beautifully decorated with flowers.

Here's wishing all of you a very Happy Govardhan Puja!

SoAs.in November 01, 2018 2019 , Diwali , Festivals , Information , Religious

Diwali is one of the most important festival celebrated by Hindus all around the world. Diwali 2018 will be celebrated on 7th November in most parts of India, and on 6th November in the South Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Hindu residents of Singapore will also celebrate Diwali along with these three states on November 6th, 2018. The festival and its celebrations usually last for five days, among which the third day is the main day. During all the five days of Dhanteras, Chhoti Diwali, Badi Diwali, Govardhan Pooja and Bhai Dooj, houses, temples and public places are all lit up with lights and earthen lamps. The themes of 'victory of good over evil' and 'victory of light over dark' are associated with the festival. The festival falls in the month of Karthik, according to Hindu calendar. According to the Gregorian calendar, the festival falls during the months of either October or November.

Also referred to as the festival of lights or Deepavali, Diwali celebrations have evolved in countless ways over the years. It is considered auspicious to buy new goods during the days preceding Diwali. Hindus are busy cleaning and renovating their houses and repairing furniture. People also paint their houses and rooms in new colours and purchase new home appliances, clothes and other things in the run up to Diwali. The third day of the five-day festival marks its climax and is a public holiday in the Indian subcontinent.

Diwali 2018: Dates, Calender, Lakshmi Puja Muhurat and Special Foods Served On Deepavali

Importance Of Diwali

Diwali is a word that has been derived from the Sanskrit word Deepavali, which means a "row or a string of lights". The word is a conjugation of "deepa" or an earthen lamp and "vali" or a continuous row or series of something. The festival falls during the beginning of autumn and at the end of summer harvest. Diwali coincides with the darkest day of the year, also known as Amavasya. This day is the darkest of Hindu lunisolar calendar. Although the festival has been known as a predominantly Hindu festival, it's also celebrated by Jains, Sikhs and Newar Buddhists. However, the day marks different historical events and stories for all these religions.

The significance of Diwali varies regionally within India, with people worshipping different deities on the day and following different traditions. One of the most well-known traditions of Diwali is associated with the Hindu epic of Ramayana. This tradition celebrates the victory of the King of Ayodhya, Ram, over the demon king Ravana of the kingdom of Lanka. Diwali is the day when Ram, Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman, returned to Ayodhya, after a period of 14 years of exile. Legend has it that the kingdom had lit up with lamps, with people rejoicing and celebrating the return of the righteous heir to the throne.

Here are the dates for all the five days of Diwali 2018 and a day-wise significance:

1. Dhanteras 2018

Dhanteras will be celebrated on November 5th, 2018 this year. This is the day that most people go out to buy new things like utensils, gold coins and jewellery. Houses and offices are cleaned and decorated with earthen lamps and artificial lights.

2. Chhoti Diwali 2018

This day is also known as Narak Chaturdashi, but is commonly known as chhoti Diwali. Falling on November 6th 2018 this year, this is a major day for purchasing sweets made from various ingredients for guests, friends and family. Halwais or sweetmeat makers work over time to meet the increased demand for sweets like laddos, halwas and more, during the run up to this day. Families are also busy preparing homemade delicacies for the guests who visit on the main day of the festival, that is, Diwali.

3. Diwali 2018

This is the main day during the five-day festival and is also known as the day of Lakshmi Pujan. This is because Goddess Lakshmi, who is the Goddess of wealth and prosperity, is worshipped on this day. The muhurat or auspicious timing for conducting Lakshmi Pujan this year is between 5.57 pm and 7.53 pm on November 7th, 2018. During this time, the family gets together and recite prayers and sing holy songs in unison. After the conclusion of the prayers, everyone takes blessings from the holy flame and indulges in sweets. This is the time to meet and greet with friends, family and relatives and exchange gifts and sweets.

4. Govardhan Puja 2018

This is the day right after Diwali and this year it will be celebrated on November 8th, 2018. This day celebrates the unique bond between husband and wife and in some Indian regions, this is the day when husbands give gifts to their wives. In yet other regions, parents invite their newly married sons or daughters along with their spouses to a family meal and bless the couple with gifts.

5. Bhai Duj 2018

Bhaiya Duj or Bhau Beej is the last day of the five-day festival and this year, it will be celebrated on November 9th, 2018. This day celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, the brother travels to his sister's house and the 'tilak' ritual involves the sister decorating her brother's forehead with a round of vermillion. The day is similar in spirit with another Hindu festival of Rakshabandhan.

Diwali 2018: Special Foods and Sweets

Diwali is a festival of indulgence and it's hard to resist the wide variety of sweets and delicacies that flood the markets, around this time. It's customary to keep a plateful of dry fruits, nuts and some sweets ready for when guests come home and offer the same to them. Food is central to Diwali celebrations and people start preparing to make a number of sweets and savouries to serve to their guests on Diwali evening. Along with bursting of crackers and exchanging sweets, eating mithais made in pure desi ghee and mava is an indelible part of Diwali.

The kind of traditional sweet and savoury foods cooked during Diwali varies from region to region. But what doesn't change in Diwali feasts across the country is the level of richness in all the foods on offer.

Happy Diwali 2018!

Choti Diwali 2018: Significance and History of the Naraka Chaturdashi

Choti Diwali is celebrated a day before Diwali. In many parts of the country, the festival is celebrated as Naraka Chaturdashi. It was named after the great battle of Narakasura and Lord Krishna. According to scriptures, the demon king had held 16,000 girls in his cruel hostage. Lord Krishna defeated the demon and relieved the girls from his rule. Since the girls were unsure of their future and acceptance in the society, they went to Lord Krishna for advice. Lord Krishna and his wife Queen Satyabhama, decided that they should all marry Lord Krishna and be recognised as his wives.

On Choti Diwali, many people perform Abhyang Snan or take a bath in the holy Ganges River. According to scriptures, taking the holy dip could absolve a person of his previous sins and he/she could be saved from going to Naraka or hell. Til or sesame oil is used for ubtan or a special face mask that is applied during the holy bath. After the bath, people deck up in new clothes and enjoy a sumptuous breakfast. In Maharashtrian households, puran poli and misal pav preparations are very famous.

दीपावली पूजन विधि

कार्तिक मास की अमावस्या का दिन दीपावली के रूप में पूरे देश में बडी धूम-धाम से मनाया जाता हैं। इसे रोशनी का पर्व भी कहा जाता है।

हैप्पी दिवाली इमेज डाउनलोडकर अपने चाहने वालो को भेज सकते है

कहा जाता है कि कार्तिक अमावस्या को भगवान रामचन्द्र जी चौदह वर्ष का बनवास पूरा कर अयोध्या लौटे थे। अयोध्या वासियों ने श्री रामचन्द्र के लौटने की खुशी में दीप जलाकर खुशियाँ मनायी थीं, इसी याद में आज तक दीपावली पर दीपक जलाए जाते हैं और कहते हैं कि इसी दिन महाराजा विक्रमादित्य का राजतिलक भी हुआ था। आज के दिन व्यापारी अपने बही खाते बदलते है तथा लाभ हानि का ब्यौरा तैयार करते हैं। दीपावली पर जुआ खेलने की भी प्रथा हैं। इसका प्रधान लक्ष्य वर्ष भर में भाग्य की परीक्षा करना है। लोग जुआ खेलकर यह पता लगाते हैं कि उनका पूरा साल कैसा रहेगा।

पूजन विधानः दीपावली पर माँ लक्ष्मी व गणेश के साथ सरस्वती मैया की भी पूजा की जाती है। भारत मे दीपावली परम्प रम्पराओं का त्यौंहार है। पूरी परम्परा व श्रद्धा के साथ दीपावली का पूजन किया जाता है। इस दिन लक्ष्मी पूजन में माँ लक्ष्मी की प्रतिमा या चित्र की पूजा की जाती है। इसी तरह लक्ष्मी जी का पाना भी बाजार में मिलता है जिसकी परम्परागत पूजा की जानी अनिवार्य है। गणेश पूजन के बिना कोई भी पूजन अधूरा होता है इसलिए लक्ष्मी के साथ गणेश पूजन भी किया जाता है। सरस्वती की पूजा का कारण यह है कि धन व सिद्धि के साथ ज्ञान भी पूजनीय है इसलिए ज्ञान की पूजा के लिए माँ सरस्वती की पूजा की जाती है।

इस दिन धन व लक्ष्मी की पूजा के रूप में लोग लक्ष्मी पूजा में नोटों की गड्डी व चाँदी के सिक्के भी रखते हैं। इस दिन रंगोली सजाकर माँ लक्ष्मी को खुश किया जाता है। इस दिन धन के देवता कुबेर, इन्द्र देव तथा समस्त मनोरथों को पूरा करने वाले विष्णु भगवान की भी पूजा की जाती है। तथा रंगोली सफेद व लाल मिट्टी से बनाकर व रंग बिरंगे रंगों से सजाकर बनाई जाती है।

विधिः दीपावली के दिन दीपकों की पूजा का विशेष महत्व हैं। इसके लिए दो थालों में दीपक रखें। छः चौमुखे दीपक दोनो थालों में रखें। छब्बीस छोटे दीपक भी दोनो थालों में सजायें। इन सब दीपको को प्रज्जवलित करके जल, रोली, खील बताशे, चावल, गुड, अबीर, गुलाल, धूप, आदि से पूजन करें और टीका लगावें। व्यापारी लोग दुकान की गद्दी पर गणेश लक्ष्मी की प्रतिमा रखकर पूजा करें। इसके बाद घर आकर पूजन करें। पहले पुरूष फिर स्त्रियाँ पूजन करें। स्त्रियाँ चावलों का बायना निकालकर कर उस रूपये रखकर अपनी सास के चरण स्पर्श करके उन्हें दे दें तथा आशीवार्द प्राप्त करें। पूजा करने के बाद दीपकों को घर में जगह-जगह पर रखें। एक चौमुखा, छः छोटे दीपक गणेश लक्ष्मीजी के पास रख दें। चौमुखा दीपक का काजल सब बडे बुढे बच्चे अपनी आँखो में डालें।

दीपावली पूजन कैसे करें

प्रातः स्नान करने के बाद स्वच्छ वस्त्र धारण करें।

अब निम्न संकल्प से दिनभर उपवास रहें-

मम सर्वापच्छांतिपूर्वकदीर्घायुष्यबलपुष्टिनैरुज्यादि-

सकलशुभफल प्राप्त्यर्थं

गजतुरगरथराज्यैश्वर्यादिसकलसम्पदामुत्तरोत्तराभिवृद्ध्‌यर्थं

इंद्रकुबेरसहितश्रीलक्ष्मीपूजनं करिष्ये।

संध्या के समय पुनः स्नान करें।

लक्ष्मीजी के स्वागत की तैयारी में घर की सफाई करके दीवार को चूने अथवा गेरू से पोतकर लक्ष्मीजी का चित्र बनाएं। (लक्ष्मीजी का छायाचित्र भी लगाया जा सकता है।)

भोजन में स्वादिष्ट व्यंजन, कदली फल, पापड़ तथा अनेक प्रकार की मिठाइयाँ बनाएं।
लक्ष्मीजी के चित्र के सामने एक चौकी रखकर उस पर मौली बाँधें।
इस पर गणेशजी की मिट्टी की मूर्ति स्थापित करें।
फिर गणेशजी को तिलक कर पूजा करें।
अब चौकी पर छः चौमुखे व 26 छोटे दीपक रखें।
इनमें तेल-बत्ती डालकर जलाएं।
फिर जल, मौली, चावल, फल, गुढ़, अबीर, गुलाल, धूप आदि से विधिवत पूजन करें।
पूजा पहले पुरुष तथा बाद में स्त्रियां करें।
पूजा के बाद एक-एक दीपक घर के कोनों में जलाकर रखें।
एक छोटा तथा एक चौमुखा दीपक रखकर निम्न मंत्र से लक्ष्मीजी का पूजन करें-

नमस्ते सर्वदेवानां वरदासि हरेः प्रिया।

या गतिस्त्वत्प्रपन्नानां सा मे भूयात्वदर्चनात॥

इस मंत्र से इंद्र का ध्यान करें-

ऐरावतसमारूढो वज्रहस्तो महाबलः।

शतयज्ञाधिपो देवस्तमा इंद्राय ते नमः॥

इस मंत्र से कुबेर का ध्यान करें-

धनदाय नमस्तुभ्यं निधिपद्माधिपाय च।

भवंतु त्वत्प्रसादान्मे धनधान्यादिसम्पदः॥

इस पूजन के पश्चात तिजोरी में गणेशजी तथा लक्ष्मीजी की मूर्ति रखकर विधिवत पूजा करें।

तत्पश्चात इच्छानुसार घर की बहू-बेटियों को आशीष और उपहार दें।

लक्ष्मी पूजन रात के बारह बजे करने का विशेष महत्व है।

इसके लिए एक पाट पर लाल कपड़ा बिछाकर उस पर एक जोड़ी लक्ष्मी तथा गणेशजी की मूर्ति रखें। समीप ही एक सौ एक रुपए, सवा सेर चावल, गुढ़, चार केले, मूली, हरी ग्वार की फली तथा पाँच लड्डू रखकर लक्ष्मी-गणेश का पूजन करें।

उन्हें लड्डुओं से भोग लगाएँ।

दीपकों का काजल सभी स्त्री-पुरुष आँखों में लगाएं।

फिर रात्रि जागरण कर गोपाल सहस्रनाम पाठ करें।

इस दिन घर में बिल्ली आए तो उसे भगाएँ नहीं।

बड़े-बुजुर्गों के चरणों की वंदना करें।

व्यावसायिक प्रतिष्ठान, गद्दी की भी विधिपूर्वक पूजा करें।

रात को बारह बजे दीपावली पूजन के उपरान्त चूने या गेरू में रुई भिगोकर चक्की, चूल्हा, सिल्ल, लोढ़ा तथा छाज (सूप) पर कंकू से तिलक करें। (हालांकि आजकल घरों मे ये सभी चीजें मौजूद नहीं है लेकिन भारत के गाँवों में और छोटे कस्बों में आज भी इन सभी चीजों का विशेष महत्व है क्योंकि जीवन और भोजन का आधार ये ही हैं)

दूसरे दिन प्रातःकाल चार बजे उठकर पुराने छाज में कूड़ा रखकर उसे दूर फेंकने के लिए ले जाते समय कहें 'लक्ष्मी-लक्ष्मी आओ, दरिद्र-दरिद्र जाओ'।

लक्ष्मी पूजन के बाद अपने घर के तुलसी के गमले में, पौधों के गमलों में घर के आसपास मौजूद पेड़ के पास दीपक रखें और अपने पड़ोसियों के घर भी दीपक रखकर आएं।

ॐ यज्ञेन यज्ञमयजन्त देवास्तानि धर्माणि प्रथमान्यासन्‌ ।

तेह नाकं महिमानः सचन्त यत्र पूर्वे साध्याः सन्ति देवाः ॥

ॐ राजाधिराजाय प्रसह्य साहिने नमो वयं वैश्रवणाय कुर्महे ।

स मे कामान्‌ कामकामाय मह्यं कामेश्वरो वैश्रवणो ददातु ॥

कुबेराय वैश्रवणाय महाराजाय नमः ।

ॐ महालक्ष्म्यै नमः, मंत्रपुष्पांजलिं समर्पयामि ।

(हाथ में लिए फूल महालक्ष्मी पर चढ़ा दें।)

ॐ आनंद ! ॐ आनंद !! ॐ आनंद !!!

लक्ष्मीजी की आरती

ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता, मैया जय लक्ष्मी माता ।

तुमको निसदिन सेवत हर-विष्णु-धाता ॥ॐ जय...

उमा, रमा, ब्रह्माणी, तुम ही जग-माता ।

सूर्य-चन्द्रमा ध्यावत, नारद ऋषि गाता ॥ॐ जय...

तुम पाताल-निरंजनि, सुख-सम्पत्ति-दाता ।

जोकोई तुमको ध्यावत, ऋद्धि-सिद्धि-धन पाता ॥ॐ जय...

तुम पाताल-निवासिनि, तुम ही शुभदाता ।

कर्म-प्रभाव-प्रकाशिनि, भवनिधि की त्राता ॥ॐ जय...

जिस घर तुम रहती, तहँ सब सद्गुण आता ।

(आरती करके शीतलीकरण हेतु जल छोड़ें एवं स्वयं आरती लें, पूजा में सम्मिलित सभी लोगों को आरती दें फिर हाथ धो लें।)

परमात्मा की पूजा में सबसे ज्यादा महत्व है भाव का, किसी भी शास्त्र या धार्मिक पुस्तक में पूजा के साथ धन-संपत्ति को नहीं जो़ड़ा गया है। इस श्लोक में पूजा के महत्व को दर्शाया गया है-

'पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति।

तदहं भक्त्यु पहृतमश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः॥'

पूज्य पांडुरंग शास्त्री अठवलेजी महाराज ने इस श्लोक की व्याख्या इस तरह से की है

'पत्र, पुष्प, फल या जल जो मुझे (ईश्वर को) भक्तिपूर्वक अर्पण करता है, उस शुद्ध चित्त वाले भक्त के अर्पण किए हुए पदार्थ को मैं ग्रहण करता हूँ।'

भावना से अर्पण की हुई अल्प वस्तु को भी भगवान सहर्ष स्वीकार करते हैं। पूजा में वस्तु का नहीं, भाव का महत्व है।

परंतु मानव जब इतनी भावावस्था में न रहकर विचारशील जागृत भूमिका पर होता है, तब भी उसे लगता है कि प्रभु पर केवल पत्र, पुष्प, फल या जल चढ़ाना सच्चा पूजन नहीं है। ये सभी तो सच्चे पूजन में क्या-क्या होना चाहिए, यह समझाने वाले प्रतीक हैं।

पत्र यानी पत्ता। भगवान भोग के नहीं, भाव के भूखे हैं। भगवान शिवजी बिल्व पत्र से प्रसन्न होते हैं, गणपति दूर्वा को स्नेह से स्वीकारते हैं और तुलसी नारायण-प्रिया हैं! अल्प मूल्य की वस्तुएं भी हृदयपूर्वक भगवद् चरणों में अर्पण की जाए तो वे अमूल्य बन जाती हैं। पूजा हृदयपूर्वक होनी चाहिए, ऐसा सूचित करने के लिए ही तो नागवल्ली के हृदयाकार पत्ते का पूजा सामग्री में समावेश नहीं किया गया होगा न!

पत्र यानी वेद-ज्ञान, ऐसा अर्थ तो गीताकार ने खुद ही 'छन्दांसि यस्य पर्णानि' कहकर किया है। भगवान को कुछ दिया जाए वह ज्ञानपूर्वक, समझपूर्वक या वेदशास्त्र की आज्ञानुसार दिया जाए, ऐसा यहां अपेक्षित है। संक्षेप में पूजन के पीछे का अपेक्षित मंत्र ध्यान में रखकर पूजन करना चाहिए। मंत्रशून्य पूजा केवल एक बाह्य यांत्रिक क्रिया बनी रहती है, जिसकी नीरसता ऊब निर्माण करके मानव को थका देती है। इतना ही नहीं, आगे चलकर इस पूजाकांड के लिए मानवके मन में एक प्रकार की अरुचि भी निर्माण होती है।
