Satyanarayana Puja

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas,

 

Some Sri Vaishnavas have started to observe Satyanarayana Puja

for gRha-praveSams, etc. As far as I know, this observance is

not in our sampradAya. Furthermore, some people tell me that the

whole story of " satya-nArAyaNa " (which I find very distasteful)

does not even exist in the Puranas (sattvic, tamasic or rajasic)

in any form.

 

Does anyone have information on the origin of this pUja, i.e.,

how recent it is, so we can inform people of its origin and

thereby demonstrate whether it should or should not be observed?

 

Thanks,

Mani
