Dear Yamini Suresh :

 

After I sent you the note on Sumangali PrArthanai ,

I came across the note on the subject posted by me

five years ago .

 

It talks about Pooja to Nithya Sumanglais and MahA Sumangails

and those Sumangalis , who passed away and seeking their

anugraham prior to an auspicious function .

 

This is purely a loukeeka ceremony with no manthrams .

MahA Lakshmi Pooja with MahA Lakshmi AshtOttharam

and Sahasra Naamam can be doen by an elder Sumangali

as a part of the Sumangali PrArTanA .

 

I would suggest the recitation of SrI Sthuthi , Sri GuNa Rathna

Kosam , which is a salutation by Swamy ParAsara Bhattar

on Sri RanganAyaki ( Text and Meanings available at http://www.malolan.net) ,

SrI Sthavam by Swamy KurEsar ( www.sadagopan.org)and Swamy AlawanthAr's

ChatusslOki . Those will enrich the occasion .

 

Songs on MahA Lakshmi can also be added as a part of the occasion .

 

It is afterall a prayer to the Most Merciful MahA Lakshmi ,

the Nithya and MahA Sumangali .
