Aradhanam days for Lord Narayana

[Guest guest]

Respected devotees of Lord Sri Hari,

 

Although we as devotees of Lord Sri Vishnu need to worship him evey

day and think of Him at all times, there are certain special days

every month which are very auspicous for Sri Vishnu aradhanam

 

1. Every Ekadasi- comes every 15 days-both Krishnapaksham (dark half

of month) and Shulkapaksham (bright half of month). All devotees of

Lord Sri Vishnu fast on every ekadasi from the previous day (dasami)

sunset till sunrise on dwadasi. If one cannot fast then one can eat

fruits, milk but one has to completely avoid all grains (rice, wheat

and dals) and beans in all forms. It is very important to break the

fast (paranai) at sunrise on dwadashi (Sri Ambarisha story)after

worshipping Lord Sri Vishnu.

 

2. Dwadashi- usually the next day of ekadasi

 

3. Shravana Nakshatra- when the moon enters the Sravana nakshatra or

Thiruvonam constellation (Sri Vishnu is the presiding diety of

Sravana nakshatra)

 

4. Poornima-full moon days when Lord Sri LakshmiNarayana are to be

worshipped with due honours

 

5. Amavasai- new moon day

 

On all these days (daily too), the recitation/listening of Sri Vishnu

Sahasranama, Sri Govinda Nama Sankeerthanam, Bhagavatham and

Naraayaneeyam study, Sri Narayana nama japam is highly recommended.

 

Of all the ekadasi's Sri Vaikunta Ekadasi (dec/jan)is considered to

be the most important when the Sri Paramapada vassal (northern gates

of Sri Vaikuntham are opened allowing all the devotees to reach His

abode after living their lives on this earth)

 

The month of Karthik is also considered to be very holy for

worshipping Lord Narayana by offering lamps.

 

Besides other festive days, ocassions such as Lunar/Solar eclipses

and adhika maasams (extra months) are highly favourable for

worshipping Lord Sri Vishnu.
