    SINDHI DIWALI PUJA VIDHEE

    Procedure of a Sindhi Diwali Pooja

    Goddess Maha Laxmi

    Many of you have requested me to tell you the way, the Sindhis perform the Diwali puja.
    I am going to tell you later. But first, have you heard what Maansic Puja is?
    Maansic Puja , is a puja in which you require nothing but your imagination. You visualise
    the puja. It may be simple or elaborate. It can take place at any exotic location. And you
    can use the most exorbitant ingredients, as you have to pay for them in terms of only your
    faith and love. The advantage of a Maansic Puja is that your mind cannot wander. The
    Scriptures promise the same rewards for this Imaginary form of worship Try the above
    puja anytime that you are on a flight of fancy, or literal.
    Now for the conventional puja:
    Keep your house clean and draw a rangoli at your doorstep to welcome Goddess Laxmi.
    For the best time for puja, a pandit could be consulted.

    You will require:


    1. Some silver and gold coins.
    2. 10 Suparis
    3. Some uncooked Rice
    4. 5 paan leaves
    5. A coconut
    6. Water in the 'lota'. May add Ganga water if you have.
    7. Kumkum for applying tilak
    8. Gulaal (holi colour)
    9. Mithaai (Indian sweets)
    10. Agarbattis (insence sticks)
    11. Diya
    12. Camphor
    On a new piece of cloth, make mounds of rice and place suparis on top. The suparis
    stand for the planets. Either keep another supari for Ganesh, or a Ganesh icon.
    Fill the Lota with water, adorn paan leaves around the lota .Place a coconut on top of the
    lota.
    Dress the lota with a red cloth and tie a red string around it. On the lota draw with
    kumkum four lines representing the Vedas. A Swastika moving clockwise with 4 tikas.
    Light the agarbattis and the diyas.
    On a thaali place the silver and golden coins. These represent 'wealth' or Mother Laxmi.
    Take some water on your left hand and sprinkle water on to yourself after washing and
    purifying your hands.
    Place a flower on your palm with some rice.
    Chant the Gayatri Mantra 3 times (optional).
    Now first visualise Lord Ganesh. Welcome Him to your puja. Chant a Ganesh Mantra. If
    you are not very good at remembering mantras, let me make it easier for you. Say: Om
    Ganeshaya Namah or I bow to you Lord Ganesh
    Pray to Shivji the same way. Say: Om Namah Shivaya
    For the more enthusiastic ones, please refer to 'Mantras and Prayers' for more mantras /
    prayers for Ganesh or Shivji.

    Sprinkle water on the lota, apply kum kum, shower rice, offer a mithaai and fruit and
    accord the same treatment that you would to an esteemed guest. The water in the lota
    stands for all the sacred rivers.
    Follow the same procedure with the 9 planets and the 4 directions. Sprinkle water
    towards the North, South, East and West. These are the 4 'dishaas' of the world or the
    Universe.
    Then bathe the silver and gold coins with milk, water, gulaal, flowers and offer the
    mithaai. It is said if you make the coins jingle, it would attract Laxmi Ma to come to you.
    Visualise MahaLaxmi and say: Om Shreem MahaLakshmaye Namah
    Now you are ready for the Aarti. Light the Aarti diya. Light camphor. Sing the aarti to
    the tune of 'Om Jai Jagdeesh hare' along with the accompaniment of the jingle of the
    bell. (You will find the words of the Aarti at the end of this note)
    Then place the thaali in your safe for 3 days.
    Do the above with faith and devotion and don't worry too much if you do not do it very
    correctly.
    Say 'Haraye Namaha' 3 times. That takes care of all the mistakes that you may have
    committed knowingly or unknowingly during the ritual.
    What is most important is your faith and love.

    THE MAHALAXMI AARTI

    Jis ghar mein tu rehtee, sab sukh guna aataa,
    Maiya sab sukh guna aataa,
    Taap paap mit jaataa, Man naheen ghabraataa.
    Om Jai Laxmi Mata
    Dhoop Deep phal meva, Ma sweekaar karo,
    Maiya Ma sweekaar karo,
    Gyaan prakaash karo Ma, Moha agyaan haro.
    Om Jai Laxmi Mata.
    Maha Laxmiji ki Aarti, nis din jo gaavey
    Maiya nis din jo gaavey,
    Dukh jaavey, sukh aavey, Ati aananda paavey.
    Om Jai Laxmi Mata.
