Varalakshmi Vratam
Varalakshmi Vratam:Varalakshmi Vratam is an important pooja performed by many people in the Indian sub-continent from states like Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka and some parts of Tamil Nadu. The traditional month of Sravanamasam / Aavani is considered to be very auspicious especially for women. Women perform the famous Mangalagouri vratam on Tuesdays and Mahalakshmi puja on Fridays during the month. Varalakshmi Vratam is the most important of festivals of them all.
The vratam will be performed on the Friday before the Full Moon Day or the Poornima day in Sravanamasam. This is a festival to make peace with Shri Varalakshmi (Mahalakshmi ) the wife of Lord Vishnu. This is an auspicious ritual considered to bring wealth to their home.
There are special poojas are observed in Temples of South India. The glory of performing the VARALAKSHMI VRATAM, narrated directly by Lord Shiva Himself, is elaborately discussed in the Skanda Puranam.
Varalakshmi is normally interpreted in two ways. One, Varalakshmi is one who grants desirable state in a family. In another, she is the Goddess who is invited into the home and honored. The different types of benefits that will accrue thanks to performing the Varalakshmi puja are Dhanam (Money), Dhanyam (Gains or Food), Arogyam (Health), Sampatha (Property), Sathsanthanam (Virtuous offspring) and Dheerga Saumangalyam (Longevity of the husband).
