The water in the vessel represents divinity. The mouth is Brahma the creator, the body or middle Shiva, the destroyer and the bottom, Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector of universe. The kalash represents the Trimurthi(holy trinity). This coconut is decorated with haldi (turmeric) and kumkum (vermillon powder) and bedecked with flowers and even gold ornaments. Five mango or betel leaves are placed at the mouth of the kalash with a coconut on the top of it. It is customary to place the kalash on a bed of rice (to usher in prosperity and well being). The ‘Kalash’ is a pot with a narrow mouth, filled with cold water, which is always used in Indian Pujas (ritualistic prayers). Bhagvaan Satya Naaraayan’s vrat / worship acts as a catalyst to overcome and end such prolonged suffering much quickly and augment peaceful divine life – showering the worshipper with his blessings The sufferings due to our bad actions can be quite prolonged. Good actions quicken the process whilst bad actions slow the process with sufferings – but which teach the individual the true goal of life. The whole cosmos with all its contents – animate or inanimate are part of the param atma and are set to merge in that atma. All living beings are programmed to achieve this goal. The goal is to lead the individual to the higher spiritual planes, to end in merging with the highest divinity (param atma).
It is necessary to understand that such sufferings are also beneficial to the individual as they make one introspect, to reason out, why the sufferings have occurred. Whilst other actions will produce fruits during a short time, this lifetime or another lifetime of the jeeva. a thief has committed a robbery, is caught by the police in doing so and is also jailed by the magistrates. Usually the sufferer is not aware of the bad actions, as the time scale of those bad actions is not perceivable at the time of suffering. Equally the bad actions such as harming others will produce negatives fruits in the form of sufferings. Our good actions like helping others reward us with their fruits of various enjoyments on this earth. Bhagvaan Krishnaa in the Gitaa described the law of Karma to Arjun. Shri Satya Naaraayan kathaa begins by Naarad Muni perturbed by the sufferings of people on earth due to their bad / evil actions. Also, during singing it is hard for the mind to wander. Singing of all together creates harmony and positive vibrations, which help to overcome negative tendencies that cause conflicts and problems in our lives. Thus, in fact when you make others happy, in the long run you are making yourself happy. The Hindus believe that we should focus not only on our own happiness but also encourage others to be happy. The purpose of inviting family and friends is to encourage harmony and unity. to stay away from not only food but also from negative thoughts and tendencies (untruth, envy, anger, greed) and to contemplate on God. The purpose of fasting is ‘to stay away from’ i.e. The more truthful we become more we are worshipping the Narayan in others and ourselves. Worshipping truth means being truthful to oneself. Lord SatyaNarayan (a form of Lord Vishnu) recommends that in order to overcome difficulties and problems either caused by this life or previous births, one has to begin worshipping truth. Narayan means that which is abiding in everybody and everything. Again, it can be performed on any day and at any time, although certain days and times are considered more auspicious. It is only the sincerity, faith and devotion of the bhakta (devotee) that counts. It thus proves that as far as God is concerned, there are no barriers. First of all, it is very simple and easy to perform, and secondly, it can be performed by anyone young or old, man or woman, and even widows. The reasons for the popularity of this particular puja are many. Thus the sick regain health and those with other wordly problems find, that help suddenly comes in from unexpected quarters. It has been observed that after the performance of this puja with faith and devotion, devotees benefit by getting their problems and difficulties resolved. Enthusiastic devotees, from time immemorial, have performed it with greatly beneficial results. The Satya Narayan Vrata, (worship of Satya Narayan, the embodiment of the eternal,‘Truth’), is one of the most common pujas (ritualistic prayers) that are offered to the Lord in India.
