ll HARE RAM ll

Dear friends,

Today is Dhanteras - Dhan Trayodisi,the day of Mahalaxmi.In fact Trayodisi (13th day of Kartik Krishna Paksha) is celebrated for Mahalakshmi,the next day 14th is related to Godess Saraswati and 15th the day of Amvashya for Godess Maa Kali was worshiped including with other Godesses Mahalakshmi and Saraswati.Why Lord Ganesh is worshiped on that day including with Mahalakshmi because Ganesh ji is the lord of

wiseness (vivek) this means we should earn money having vivek/truth.

Now i explain you a very easy way of worship for Godess Mahalakshmi on Dhanteras day.Plz take 9 pieces of Bela (Vilva) leafs that are used for Lord Shiva's Pooja and put Red sand on each leafs of Bela and offer eight of them to Mahalakshmi reciting undersigned name one by one and having offered eight leafs do offer ninth leaf to Mahalakshmi reciting all the names again.Than offer Aarti with six DIYAS / DEEPAK (lamps) and out of them one keep near Tulsi plant,Second near main door,Third in kitchen,

Fourth in middle of the house and Fifth in the South and Sixth before Maa

Mahalakshmi,offer prasadam to Maa and distribute and after all the rituals KEEP LAST NINTH LEAF IN YOUR CASH BOX.Maa Mahalakshmi will bless you whole the year.
